Holy opening, Batman! Where did THAT come from? I can't say that I loved it, but maybe I just wasn't prepared. What did you think?
Not a wonderful episode, though I wasn't expecting greatness from what was originally touted as a Halloween plot airing in the middle of November. [yeah, yeah, I know. pre-emptions...] Problematically, I think it was intriguing to attempt to have a group member "move on," but it's clear that it's not actually happening. This makes me question if anyone has ever "graduated," and that's probably not a good thing. Still, the best line was "this is what happens when you bring your bummer people in here," and I loved that. I actually can't wait for an opportunity to try that out in real life.
Go On "Videogame, Set, Match" (S01E08): Ryan has gotten into Halo and starts playing with Owen. After he stays up at Owen's all night and Owen's mother questions what they're doing (Owen needs a positive influence, not an immature jerk), he gives Owen an internship at the radio station so they can play at the office. [situations like this make me enjoy Ryan.]

Yolanda is ready to graduate, as the fiance who left her on their wedding day is now remarried. [I don't think that would be a leave-the-group trigger for me, but what do I know?] But, Yolanda admits to the group that she's worried that she isn't ready to leave, but she feels like she needs to make Lauren feel successful. [cue the eye rolls!] Yolanda keeps calling the group for coffee, but people start dropping out until only Mr. K attends. ["I didn't mean to be?" was funny.] Yolanda returns to the group to confront them about not answering their phones and calls the group "BS." They make it up to her by dressing as Alice in Wonderland characters to complete her costume theme. [Yolanda has a church? there's nobody there she can lean on?]
