    Do these people watch their own show?

    A woman moves across the country and changes careers to avoid an abusive ex, and yet she completely ignores a woman who is threatening and stalking her. Riiiiiight.

    Stop pushing Jennifer's character

    I was extremely disappointed in the last 2 episodes. They are focusing way too much on maddie and the 911 center than on what people want to see. I know with Abby gone they're trying to recapture that aspect of the show but they're going to lose viewers real fast if they keep that up

    Haters got to hate

    Especially the reviewers on here. Giving this episode low score just because it has religion . You guys suck!

    Christian bashing, Hollywood style

    There are plenty of people who are not Christians that protest military funerals, yet Hollywood blatantly set Christians front and center as the evil ones protesting. This group was obviously based on the ultra-conservative Westboro Baptist Church nut-jobs who hide behind a veil of Christianity to spread their hate. They are not respected by true Christians who understand that hate, violence, and prejudice is NOT the answer.

    Love the episode

    Absolutely love the episode but hate the reference to Christians. Those stupid Westboro church people are NOT Christians. Do NOT lumps all together. Other than that this episode is a 10. Love that they pull emergency calls from all over the US.

    • Quotes

      Athena Grant: [voice over] Yeah, people can be awful, selfish, and cruel, caring only about themselves and what they want and need, never thinking about who they hurt or what kind of damage they might leave in their wake. But not everyone is awful. There're some good ones out there too, the kind who want to do the right thing. But you'll ever know which kind of person someone is unless you give them a chance to show you. Maybe they'll surprise you in the best way. Our lives are shaped not just by our experiences but by relationships: who we love, who loves us, and the stronger those ties are, the less awful everything else seems.
