That's a tough choice. Here's a favorite...

The "Pow! Blam! Dead Kawasakis everywhere!" rant from A FRIEND IN DEED. She goes from furious to puzzled to encouraged in two minutes flat and you can see every change as it happens.

Man...there are so many. And I still haven't seen the first seasons...

But I guess last night's graduation ep now ranks as one of my favorites. It showed Jo's personality within just a few seconds. She'S trying not make a big deal out of leaving, so she just waves and says "Bye!" But once she got to the door, she lost it...cuz she's really sentimental deep down inside. And in one hug you could see that Blair is Jo's best friend. So that's mine for now...

Mine is where the all dance and sing to 'Hot Rod Lover' I just love that.

------------------
Tootie: I've got it, I'VE GOT IT!
Jo: Well what, are you waiting for a drum roll or something?

Tootie: I write and angry letter, and address it to whoever I am angry with, then...I don't send it.
Jo: Ohh..that'll teach em.

I liked the scene where she is doing her darndest to prevent Blair from weakening and calling the man who had dumped her.It did show that,regardless of what they had in common-NOT!-there was mutual regard and respect,important to any relationship.

I have two favorites- the one where Jo had to sell her motocycle and Blair found out and she changed the beds around to let Jo have the window but neither tells the other what or why she did what she did. My other is the one where Blair's father (or at least it looked like Blair's father- i think it was her grandfather) did something illegal and Jo was telling Blair that her father would still love her even if she made a bad mistake. I like scenes that show how much Jo and Blair really care for each other.

These two episodes have already been mentioned, but they're favorites of mine.

1) Graduation-- The final few scenes are outstanding. The first is where Jo is rehersing her valdectorian speech. Through flashbacks of Jo and her friends, and the way she says her speech, you can really see how much the so-called unsentimental Jo cares about Natalie, Tootie, Blair. And the final scene just before Jo and Blair march into the Auditorium---where they both realise what a milestone this is for each of them.

2) Maginificent Obsession--- This is the one where Blair gets hung up on Chad, the boyfriend who mistreats her. There were scenes from this one in "Graduation".
Again it's the last few minutes of the episode that are so telling. When Jo follows Blair around while she's having her snack in the middle of the night to keep Blair from calling Chad.Blair keeps saying "You are so suspicious.", you can almost hear Jo replying back "I'm doing this because I care about you." In fact, you can practically see Jo's concern for her friend.
Also, theres the scene where Jo and Blair hug. I think that it's the only time in the series that they do this. It really does show how close they are as friends.

Wow, it's hard to decide. There are so many! I liked the one from 'Magnificant Obsession' when Jo and Blair hugged. I also like the part in 'Less than Perfect' when Jo went to see Blair after the accident. I liked how Jo, who never breaks a promise, broke her promise this one time because she thought it was the right thing to do. I also like in 'The New Girl Part 1' When Jo and Blair met for the first time! Many of my favorite Jo scenes involve Blair too. My almost-all-time favorite scene is from 'Till Marriage do us Part' when Rick "showed" Jo what their life would be like together. I especially liked the sock puppet!
