#40 in our countdown! 2.16 The Blaze of Glory. What are your thoughts?

Was last year really better and do we, like Seth says, "sentimentalized the past all out of proportion"?

Seth FINALLY getting those much deserved punches from Ryan 😂

A funny episode in regards to Seth who not only gets punched by Ryan but arm twisted by Summer 😅 only thing I thought was wrong was they rushed the Marissa / Alex fling a bit to fast

Watching it back then, the Marissa-Alex storyline always felt rushed, their brake-up was not well built up. Listening to your podcast, now we understand that it was a push from the network to wrap it up.
About Julie's storyline, (it was probably a continuity error) but she mentioned in the first season she had Marissa when she was 18 - which would mean she made her tape earlier, while she was still a minor.
What do you think?
