This episode was so stupid, I can't believe I watched the whole thing. It's like I'm hanging out in a hospital with people I don't care about as they talk about having a baby. After the 'Tina' episode I've now given up on this pretentious show, it's not even close to good. Lots of yelling when anything is actually happening, and the head chef just stands in one place and looks at a spot on the table and says 'hands' and 'please and thank you' which is completely unrealistic in any restaurant. She is utterly useless as a chef, someone from front of house should be expediting, she doesn't cook a damn thing.

Reva can't act worth a damn, and while "child Leia" is a halfway decent actor, the horrible writing and directing makes her an annoying side plot. The first two episodes are a third of the entire series so I won't waste my time with the rest. Sad because Ewan McGregor is his usual quality self.

I really loved this show's previous seasons but season 5 has turned into the Naomi show. They could have spent 10 minutes on her family drama and gotten the plot back to the other characters but instead we have to plod through scenes about her and her family. I really don't care what happens to her or them. I can't even finish the season. I really hope the writers come to their senses for season 6 (if there is one).
