I'm just going to reiterate what I wrote yesterday: Bright, NO!!! Oh, these writers are mean. Mean, mean, mean! Hannah and Bright were moving along just fine and then the show does this to them and us. Sure, they had their problems, but what relationship doesn't? You know, I always thought that Bright had matured and grown so much over this show's four seasons that he was basically just a shadow of his former shallow, jerky self. But in a moment of weak -ness, he reverted back and did something that the old Bright would have done in a heartbeat. The difference now, though, is that Hannah isn't the only one who's going to get hurt. This is the first time that Bright has had a HUGE vested interest as well, and when Hannah learns the truth (and she will), Bright is going to be hurting just as much, especially since he caused the impending pain. Not only will he more than likely lose Hannah over this 
indiscretion, but he'll also have to deal with the fact that he hurt her so deeply. After running into a former girlfriend, Bright did the unthinkable. He helped her get a new table into her yarn shop (where you can "stitch and bitch"), but he let his problems with Hannah and their lack of a physical relationship cloud his judgment as he cheated on Hannah. It seems that the perky duo discovered that they weren't being their true selves around each other because they were trying to make the other person happy. Hannah was pretending to like keg parties because she knew that Bright did and Bright was pretending that Hannah's stance on premarital sex was OK with him, and neither of them liked pretending to be someone that they're not. Hannah realized this after two days of not talking with Bright. One of the most heartbreaking scenes last night was when she went over to Bright's to tell him about her epiphany and he found it difficult to even look at her knowing what he had done. He tried to tell her, but he allowed her to continue speaking about their relationship and how they should never hide anything from each other again. The closing shot of the two hugging was the epitome of the proverbial calm before the storm. Yup, it's only a matter of time before Hannah discovers the truth.
Meanwhile, Ephram was busy deciding on his future. He wanted to transfer to Colorado A&M, but Andy was concerned that he only wanted to transfer because of Amy. Turns out, Andy wasn't completely wrong, and neither was Hannah last week when she told Amy that Ephram is biding his time waiting for Amy. Andy wanted Ephram to take a second look at pursuing his dream of being a concert pianist, so he got him some face time with one of his idols. The experience paid off because it, along with the recital he put on with his students, allowed Ephram to realize that he wanted to teach. So, he's off to A&M to get a degree in music education. The most intriguing Ephram-related point last night was his decision to call Madison and apologize for the way he acted in New York last year when she told him about their child. It was a big step, and it showed just how much Ephram has grown up this last year. I couldn't help but think to myself that Madison certainly has moved on and found another "it's me." In fact, she's now engaged and confused over her feelings for her fiance's best friend Brian on the ABC show What About Brian. Anyway, I was impressed with Ephram's level of maturity. It was also nice to see his excitement over Kyle's audition and scholarship offer from Julliard. In other Everwood happenings, Nina jumped the gun with Jake 
and thought that he would be ready to marry her and start a family, but he is still trying to get his life back together after his stint with the pain pills. As usual, she turned to Andy for advice and ignored him when he tried to tell her that she may be getting ahead of herself. What puzzles me about Nina is the fact that she knows how Andy feels about her, and yet, she always turns to him to get advice about her relationship with Jake. Andy is such a sport, and seriously, the best friend anyone could ask for, but I always feel bad for him when Nina turns to him. I have to applaud Andy for not giving Nina a big "I told you so" when things didn't go as she planned. And despite everything, he still invited her to dinner to combat the loneliness that she was feeling in the wake of her discussion with Jake. When will Nina learn?

You guys know I love me some Scanlon. He's totally on the top of my current list of TV boyfriends, so I was like a fangirl at an *NSYNC concert last night while watching Medium. When this episode first started and things were looking really bad for my Scanny, I got worried. I thought that I had made a huge mistake when I put him at the top of my coveted list, but things turned around as the episode drew to a close. In a nutshell, Scanlon used to work narcotics and he went undercover to nab a huge drug cartel family in the Phoenix area. While undercover, he "dabbled" in drugs as part of his cover (although, I'm thinking it may have been more than dabbling since we saw him at a NA meeting). He also fell really hard for a dancer who he later found out was a member of the drug cartel family. He was supposed to marry her, but the whole drug family thing ruined those plans. It seems he's still a little stuck on this girl, Elena, so he cautiously responds when she asks him for his help until he believes that Elena murdered the three women (2 mules and 1 undercover cop). The interesting part, and what totally restored my faith in my Scanny, was when Elena said that Lee was too principled to join her family and be with her. We also learned that Scanlon's former fellow narc detective, and now a lieutenant, was responsible for the murders because he wanted to create a drug cartel war that would lead to each side killing the other. How shocked were you when mean former narc cop shot and killed the handcuffed Elena?? I was cheering loudly when Scanlon began beating him up. Despite everything that transpired between Elena and Scanlon, he still cared about her and was devastated when she died in his arms. See, he's the perfect TV boyfriend, which is exactly why he can't date that deputy mayor. I LOVED the scene in the stairwell when Scanlon explained everything to Allison and we learned how it all matched her dreams about him. And why do people always assume that if you dream about someone then it has to be dirty? This totally happens in real life as well. I felt like a proud parent last night watching Ariel do the right thing with the presentation contest. Did anyone else find it terribly ironic that the presentation had to do with discrimination and the teacher was discriminating against one of his students because he found him repugnant? I'm sure the irony was completely on purpose, but I thought it was pretty clever.**REMINDER**
