This episode starts with a time jump. Weeks have passed since Julia learned the truth that Leon is not her biological Father, Edie has moved in with Julia, and Roxy has spent her time in rehab. As Roxy returns home, she seeks to make amends with the people in her life who her addiction has hurt. Meanwhile, Julia struggles to come to the truth, knowing that Leon isn't her real dad, and is afraid to confront him about it. However, Donovan suggest that they take their relationship to the next level as he asks Julia to meet his kids. Lastly, Edie struggles to maintain the separation between her personal and professional life as Tim now knows the truth about her and Amanda. Overall, this is another excellent episode, as the storylines of the three sisters develop in interesting ways. Edie is perhaps the most complicated. After all, she caused her own problems. However, she is still sympathetic as she is still in the process of discovering herself. Roxy's transformation is also satisfying. I would've liked to see a little more of her time in rehab. However, it is nice to see her trying to make amends and how she finds her purpose moving forward. Lastly, Julia has another fantastic character arc. It is so interesting how Julia's character shifts over the course of the series. In the first few episodes, Julia is the stable one as everyone else around her comes to the realization that things aren't what they had thought. However, now Julia finds out that she is in the same situation and that the person who raised her wasn't her biological parent either. So, she learns firsthand what these people are experiencing. And Julia's relationship with her father is fascinating. Brittany and Timmothy play well off each other. Julia's relationship with Donovan is also heartbreaking. She tries so hard to make it work, but Donovan and his life keep getting in the way. Brittany Snow is simply as amazing as Julia. She is perfect for the role. Brittany is my favorite actor, and I can say this is among her best acting. I rewatch this show all the time and would recommend it to anyone.
