Great episode!

It was a good episode, i'm glad that they ended it that way. I thought the principal was going to put a move on Cate and try to kiss her..but they didn't. And it will be back next year. I wonder if she is gonna go out with him but i think it is too soon.

if they renew it, will James Garner and David Spades also appear in Season 3? I think the show needs them now that John is gone. They're both doing a great job there.

It's already renewed. It'll air Fridays at 8 next fall. Both Garner and Spade are expected back.

I liked thhis episode. I didn't really like the guy as Cate's new "love interest", but the scene where Cate asks Paul what she should do and for him to give her a sign made me happy because it shows she still cares for him the most and they can still include Paul as a character on the show.

Thanks for the info, Pavanbadal!

Oh, darn... I can't believe I didn't realize it was a one-hour finale, so I just set my VCR to record the first half hour! Ummfff!! I'll have to wait till it's re-aired in the summer to record the second half...
