House Husbands–Season 5, Episode 5

So we’re nearing the halfway point of the season which means that a story arc usually reaches it peak. In this episode, I’d say that the major story arc–Nick’s secret gambling–is starting to reach its peak. Throughout the episode there’s a build up of Nick’s desperation to pay back a gambling debt, which I felt was rushed a little since

I felt that the ashes subplot was a little cliche–losing the ashes, the battle

Although the reveal didn’t happen in this episode, thanks to the ads, we know it’s coming. I wasn’t really sympathetic towards Liz, although I feel she was the most honest and interesting character in
