"And All You Wanted Was Somebody Who Cares"

No, I didn't go away or anything - there just wasn't anything happening in the past week or so - even the commercial for this week's episode had nothing interesting (it stayed totally away from Alex's story and focused solely on the group therapy session the adults will be having).  And I've yet to see any sneak peaks for tonight.

But, tonight has finally arrived (well, today anyway) and with that, it's time to look forward to "Clean Out Your Junk Drawer":



Anticipation Level: Medium.  This actually is probably somewhat optimistic - yes, there is a story involving Alex and Haley talking about boys, but I have a feeling it's going to be only a small part of the episode, with the group therapy session being the dominant theme.  They might even pull a "Baby On Board" and end it fairly early. 

But I do think what we do get will be interesting, as we will likely either get closure to the Alex and Reuben story, or their relationship will actually turn into something closer to permanency.

Heartbreak Potential Level: Medium to High.  It all comes down to a) do Alex and Reuben break up (I'm guessing they do), and if so, b) who breaks up with whom (I'm guessing Alex goes to Haley for advice on how to let Reuben down easy)?

But if Reuben breaks up with Alex, look out.  Even a gentle breakup (and even given that it's Reuben) could be really hard for Alex to take right now.

Do You Have Any Questions?

Will this be a serious or funny story?  Probably the latter, since I still believe most of the emotion will come from the adults tonight. 

Will Alex's and Haley's story end with another heart-melting hug, or will they be unhappy with each other? If it's a funny story, probably the latter.  If it's serious it's a coin flip.
