'Bean Dreams' this one is better than I thought it be
          
          I liked the three options the beanie gave to Lori for running her own store were in New York, Paris and…Worchester Massachusetts (and that she implies it’s the best one) that Luan congratulated her, that the show actually acknowledged that she only got into the coffee culture when she come back home.
          
          I also understand why Lori would want to take up Beanie’s offer. Think about what she went through recently. She had left the college and the career of a being a professional golfer  she had wanted for a while and had just broken up with her longtime boyfriend. I can see why it would be tempting to take a job offer within a company as not only is it more steady employment then professional golfing would allow but also expand her opportunities to see the world by potentially allowing her to work somewhere new and exciting. 
          I liked when Lori spilled the ice coffee on Cheryl and that she had to take over for her as playground monitor, Lori attempts at being the monitor not going well, the “not a single thing to wear joke”, Lori and Pettey bounding (which was really cute) Petey finding a new friend in Marco and the foreshowing we got Lori stomach being upset when she’s sad. 
          
          I also like that she become the new playground monitor, like Cheryl said she IS good with kids (not withstanding how she used to treat her siblings) think about what happened in  “Don't Lose Your Cool” from last season’s summer camp arc. There she told the kids she was counseling that she HAS to keep them save, which proves she cares for them. Now we get this one, where she went out of way to help out Petey. It’s a nice continuation of her development even if not intentional. I really can see her as a councilor or a teacher someday.

'Student of the Jeer'
          Stella being seen as being squeaky-clean make sense, out of the gang she is usually the one who tries to talk sense into the others.
          I liked Meryl somehow hiding a bag of popcorn AND a tub of butter in her hair, Stella helping out the teachers, Lincoln and Clyde think she was ok with being a goody two shoes, that they dint make the other students unlikeable, Stella trying to be “bad” and her  immediately cleaning up her messes afterwords, as well as her doing so led to be a shoe in for student of the year or SOTY. Her trying to get the teacher to choose someone else for to be the SOTY, especially when she suggested CHANLDER of all kids. Stella doing a perfect impersonation of Cheryl and her DRAGING the principle Ramierz’s ENTIRE DESK along with the award. finally liked steal accepting who she is and that she shouldn’t care so much about what other students think of her for it.
          
          not too many negatives I can think of. I guess while it’s not amazing it still decent. 7/10

After the recent rumors. Do y'all think TLH will be ending soon? 

STOJ - 10/10! This really was Stella in the lead by herself. I get why she wouldn’t want to be seen as a goody goody, but in the end she is just a nice kid. Everyone can see it. Even when she tries to be bad, she just can’t bring herself to do it. I’m glad Principal Ramirez understood and forgave her. And look at that! An adult is doing something about Chandler’s troublemaking! FOR ONCE! Also Bolhoffner practically has death wishes at this point.
          
          BD - 7.5/10. Lori just goes from one place to another. But I can see why she would do the position at the elementary school, she really does like working with kids being the oldest of 11 and she really has grown. I almost feel like this was two plots together though, feel a little bad for Beanie and Joe (at least their business is okay). This Petey’s biggest role and I’m glad he was able to make a new friend in Marco. Though I have to question the timing on everything. I get Lori’s graduated, but why were Leni and Luan at their jobs on school days in the afternoon when their siblings are still in school? Half days? Work emergencies? Kind of inconsistent like Great Lakes Freakout (unless Lori was SPEEDING). One more of that break up to go.

'Spy Dames' 
          
          this one sounded fun! I love when the show explores Myrtle's  past as a spy.
          I liked Myrtle's reaction the wild boar and onion pancakes, hey telling licnodnl to introduce her to his friends and potential girlfriends (that would be a LONG list according to fans), Like Bernie standing in for Zach’s (or Zeke’s) grandfather, the flash back to Mertle fighting the gopher, that we got Boy Jordan got a role, and Mertle used Lincoln’s  love of spying against him (kind of a low moment from her but more on that latter), Lincoln trying to use the X-ray glasses to but seeing Mr. Bolhofner butt and I don’t want to think ANY more about that.
          
          I liked Lincoln telling Principal Ramirez she he was head of the grandparents planning day committee and that she actually bought it (kind of weird that she PRINCIPAL wouldn’t know about the committee but again whatever), Him and Meryle trying and failing to see the tattoo, I liked that Myrtle apologies for wrong even though she wasn’t, the reveal that the reason why  Myrtle thought the tattoo was on Gertie’s right shoulder was that she was looking at a reflection of it, the fight between  Myrtle and Gertie, the Gertie got caught and that Myrtle let her go at end but wish it was cause the statute of limitations on her crimes had run out
          
          my only negatives are that Mertle using Lincoln’s  love of spying was but of low blow and Myrtle letting Gertie go because “she’s truly changed” and…that wasn’t really shown, much of the episode was about Mertle and Lincoln trying to uncover Gertie as the gopher so we never really got to see that she did change. Now I’m not saying that she didn’t, she dint trying to steal anything from the school but maybe would’ve been better for Gertie to admit that she was the mole at the start but that she has turned over a new leaf but Mertle  doesn’t believe her so the rest of the episode was Mertle and Lincoln trying to prove that she is still a thief. 
          
          still this was good 8/10

Spy Dames:
          
          - Albert was in middle school with LJ?
          
          - How everyone (mostly the ones of middle school) would react about the pancakes of chef Pat?
          
          - Will someone explain to Zach why did he bring Bernie before Zach will answer the reason on-screen?
          
          - How everyone (mostly LJ and Lincoln's friends) would react about Boy Jordan's grandma in Myrtle's past?
          
          - About the X-Ray glasses, did Lisa create it?
          
          - How everyone would react when they see the broken X-Ray sunglasses, thanks to Bolhofner's butt? I bet Sid will say something like "ugh, adult's butt!"
          
          - After the episode, did LJ, Albert and Lincoln's friends know about Boy Jordan's grandma?
          
          In Cupid's Harrow:
          
          - How everyone would react when they see Miguel trying to make signals to Leni about Bobby and later, Lori during the podcast?
          
          - Will someone say to Miguel like "oh, so that's how you and Bobby met each other?" after seeing Bobby and Miguel in the flashback?
          
          - How Lori and Bobby would react when they see Leni distracting them? You know, first, Lori in her car and later, Leni in Great Lakes City to see Bobby?
          
          - How Lori and Bobby would react after seeing Leni sabotaging them after their calls in the podcast?
          
          - After the episode, aside from Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and their families, did someone else know Lori and Bobby decided to break up? Clyde, Sid, Carol, Par, anyone?

CH: 7/10 B/C I’m a mixed bag. I’m glad it wasn’t Leni being an idiot and Lori and Bobby came to the decision on their own. On the other hand, they had been together since the series started, and Lori doesn’t really have any big changes since her job and apartment are at home… LIKE BOBBY’S. But I get wanting to find yourself. And I’m surprised Bobby’s family would be okay with him going to Mexico for a job (unless they’re finally growing up since Relative Chaos and Thanksgiving), though Lupe and the gods are there. I laughed at Miguel tackling Lori for that visor stuff.
          
          SD: 10/10! Myrtle took the spotlight fully and the tables really have turned compared to NTTS for her and Lincoln. Guess Myrtle’s past coming back to get her with Fifi has made her more alert. And I get Lincoln’s hesitance since he knew Gertie longer (sort of). I knew the reflection in the mirror was gonna come into play. And I’m glad it wasn’t a whole misunderstanding scenario… again. Boy Jordan got some more spotlight. And I can understand why Myrtle let Gertie go since she relates to getting away from the spy life to have a family (just pray X doesn’t catch wind of it). Also Chef Pat’s family has quite the… exquisite taste. And I’m wondering about Zach’s grandpa.

Some questions about My Phony Valentine and Man of My Schemes:
          
          My Phony Valentine:
          
          - Will Polly resist her jelously throught the entre episode?
          
          - After the flashback of Let's Break a Deal, will everyone (mostly Lucy and the mortitian's club) will glare Morpheus?
          
          - Will someone explain where Clyde and Stella were?
          
          - How Mandee would react when she see Tyler with Scoots teasing Mr Buden?
          
          - How everyone would react after listening Rusty and Amber song?
          
          In Man of My Schemes:
          
          - How everyone would react when they see Bobby's picture of the "girl" in his picture?
          
          - How everyone would react about Lori's embarrasing photos in the page in Internet?
          
          - How Lincoln would react when he see the magician? Since Lori was not impressed, which means.... I wonder if Lori doesn't like magic and how Lincoln would say to her? 
          
          - How everyone would react when they see Paraag saying he has a girlfriend after what Lori did?
          
          - How everyone would react about the woman as a cardboard for a promotion of Agua Fresca? Did anyone of Royal Woods (except Lori and Leni) and Great Lakes City (except Bobby) know about this promotion?

'My Phony Valentine' so…this was going to be a hard sell for me. I’ve said this before but Rusty is by far my LEASE favorite moment of the gang, he’s annoying, and often arrogant. it’s played for laughs of course but that still makes it hard root for him. so an episode that is a follow up to an episode ( "Let's Break a Deal”) where he dates what is essentially his gender bent version of himself donest have much appeal to me
          added to that is that this sounded like it was going to be a typical “Romeo and Juliet” plotline, you know two characters like each other but their families don’t want them to be together and they forbid so the couple has to prove their love and it overcomes all. its fine but they would have to do something unique to make this be good for me
          
          lucky it did
          I liked Rusty reaction to Gus question if he smells “Amore in the air”, the gang being said over  Romeo and Julia and especially Zach saying, “they need to help him find a job” (I like when the show does silly humor right, I liked Lincoln’s plan for Amber and Rusty, the animation that went with it and Kara reaction to it. Rusty picking Zach cause he knew amber wouldn’t fall for him, and Kara wondering why she had to open her big mouth as well as her just NOT loving being Rusty Fake girlfriend 
          I liked Amber hiding from Mr Spokes and imitating Kara (if it’s not the same voice actress its dead on impersonation), Rusty doing the same for Amber’s mom, the song the two sang and them telling their Parents to leave them out of the feud they had which helped to end it.
          two minor observances 
          I wonder why Stella and Clyde didn’t show up?
          maybe it’s my Muppet loving heart but I kind of wish when Rusty said Scoots wasn’t half bad for Amber so say “she’s not have good either” and have them both laugh serving as a shot out to the Muppet shows’ Statler and Waldorf. (speaking of the "muppet show" it got a reboot recently)

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
          
          MPV - 10/10! This is Rusty’s BEST episode! I’m glad Amber gave him another chance since it was Morpheus who wrecked their last one. Rusty was a total gentleman and he and Amber’s singing together is beautiful and harmonizing. And it was a classic parents won’t let their kids date their business rival’s kids. Romeo and Juliet indeed. Rusty and Amber standing up to point out to their parents that their rivalry shouldn’t extend to them. And Gus needs to keep an eye on his food, both in preparation and presentation. Also Kara walked into that one. And it makes sense why Stella wasn’t in this: if they tried to fool Rodney with him thinking Stella was Rusty’s girlfriend, he’d know something was up since he knows her more. 
          
          MOMS - 7/10. Yeah Lori’s insecurities play up again. She really should’ve checked to make sure Paraag wasn’t with anyone before using him as her pawn to show she’s the “winner in the break up.” Honestly, her break up with Bobby probably isn’t going as well as she thought. Before you wonder why Bobby was somehow in Royal Woods with that cutout, who’s to say that there wasn’t one in the city too? Kudos to Paraag for finding love! And Leni needs to relook how to do online romance page setups. Also Scoots is becoming the new Flip.
