Continuity[]
- This episode is set 9 and a half months past What's Next?, as proven that Sue mentions Maddie is 9 and a half months pregnant in one of the previews.
- That said, it has been 4 and a half months since the beginning of the season, as that was set 5 months past the season three finale.
- May receives a friend request on Facebook from Laila Creedy, one of the girls who had bullied her into attempting suicide back in "Let Go". Athena then arrested her partly for possession of weed at a party in "Worst Day Ever", and partly as a feeling of retaliation.
- Bobby experiencing mild PTSD from Athena and Hen's comments on Rachel and the burn victims, may be contributed to his experience in "Bobby Begins Again".
Memorable Quotes[]
Bobby: Life doesn't care how strong you think you are. It will find a way to break you. It'll pull you down until you hit bottom. But while you're down there, if you open your eyes, you might finally be able to gain the clarity you need, to find your way back up. Because life doesn't have any dead ends when you refuse to quit moving. When you trade rock bottom, for your rock, for what really matters in life, though you may find your new road to still be rough, just remember - that nothing worth doing is easy, and with the help of your loved ones, you can find the strength to continue on. And yeah, last night was a hard night. But I'm here. And I didn't have a drink. So maybe today can be a good day. And if today can be a good day, maybe tomorrow can be too. |
