The Episode Review
This episode had a lot of surprisingly sweet moments. I am here for the developing friendship between Leighton and Kimberly. ..
I’m mostly happy about Bela realizing her feelings for Eric. Theirs is a quirky, fun relationship with lots of chemistry and banter. Unfortunately, we don’t get to see that build too much here, but the conclusion is a sweet one, nonetheless.
I found the episode’s ending amusing - Leighton’s apparent attraction to her carbon copy is pretty funny. She’ll probably get into trouble with that. ..
