Well the controversy has subsided somewhat, so let’s get back to taking a closer look at the show and what it has offered us so far. This week, the show had some laugh out loud moments and tackled a topic not many shows have, and did it in it’s own unique way.

This week saw the women put their differences aside for the greater good…well their greater good. It was men against women, Adams against Eves in the annual interfaith BBQ cook-off. But while the ladies were playing nice we got two shockers, 1) Ripp (David James Elliott) is looking for a mystery woman and 2) Heather (Marisol Nichols) is starting to get interesting (!!!).
Not to mention two hot men of Ugly Betty fame join in on the fun.

This week Awake tries to deliver a bombshell twist outside of its central mythology, but mostly comes up lacking. As much as I appreciate the effort to do something more with Michael’s (Jason Isaacs) personal life (outside of the case of the week), this…is not the direction that I would have chosen.

If we look at this week’s episode as a chapter of a weekly television series with continuing storylines, the live episode is pretty lightweight, even for this season’s relatively lax standards. But as a twenty-one minute piece of blatant yet absolutely enjoyable fan service? ‘Live from Studio 6H’ passes with flying colors – while wearing angel wings and singing “Zou Bisou Bisou.”

The search for the final missing crystals continues as Diana (Shelley Hennig) comes apart at the seams in the wake of last week’s revelation. As for dead grandma Jane…well, she’s old news by the time the title appears.
