@anonymous: Good point on the Naomi flip flop. The show has to learn how to write layered characters, how to make them edgy and then reveal soft sides when called for.
I'm on your side entirely: make her consistent in some way.

Alright, I didn't like this episode much either, but I'm a little confused as to where you guys stand on Naomi. First, you she's too nice and needs to go back to her bitchy side, then she's too bitchy and needs to be mature. Seriously? Her storyline with Jen is probably the only reason I'm gonna keep watching this show, along with Ade and Navid. The thing is, I wish the writers would keep SOME level of consistency with her character, because Naomi has the potential to be much more complex if they stop molding her personality to fit the storyline. And her and Liam? I loved them back in season 1, but unless they get some more interesting storylines than him hooking up with Annie, I don't see myself rooting for them anymore. Liam/Annie is forced and Shanae Grimes needs to get at least one more facial expression than confused. I like Silver and Teddy, too, they're... cute(if you take away Trevor Donavan's real age). I'm looking forward to this so-called explosive season finale
