I was ok with the red crib (the interactions between Prentis, Rossi, Matt and Kristy were fine).
I was less than ok with the hacker class (competition?) Garcia was teaching (they are at an FBI office where there is sensitive information all around). This could have been done at the FBI training Academy, since there are probably not going to be classes on a Saturday.
My biggest problem was with Max and her nephew Sammy. I get that he's supposed to be "unusual" (i.e. Similar to Spencer), but the kid comes off as annoying.
We first see Max yelling at Spencer, for her nephew being annoying TO HIM. A person who deals with an autistic child (as Sammy clearly is) would apologize to the person the child was bothering. Plus, she doesn't know how to handle his meltdown? Kudos to Spencer for handling it.
Obviously, she doesn't realize he probably annoys other people, which makes me wonder why the kid's mother would let her irresponsible sister take him on an outing. Does she know her sister left him alone? Did he wander off? Again, Max did a crappy job of looking out for him.
Then, she tries to get out of getting her car towed by saying she parked there "for 30 seconds" which was in actuality closer to, if not over five minutes, since Sammy had time to notice, approach, and annoy Spencer, who was minding his own business. She was probably conducting business inside the building. Then what? Realized she was supposed to be watching her nephew?
And why did she park at a curb right next to a no-parking sign, when there's a freaking parking garage across the street? It bugs me when people justify their illegal behavior to suit their needs, and then try to weasel out of the consequences. Clearly she cannot handle making adult decisions, like budgeting her money (she complains of having no money to get her car out of impound) keeping track of her nephew, parking, and accepting responsibility for her actions.
I blame the writers for this sloppy, contrived mess. There are plenty of other situations where Spencer could have a "normal" conversation". Spencer should have realized this woman was a mess and taken off running in the other direction.
