Laboring

This episode was probably the most depressing so far this season.  Even so, I felt that it was a wonderful preamble to the season finale.  I am still completely frustrated with Tami's situation-it is just so unfair!  The intense rivalry between West and East Dillon sort of makes me yearn for the days when the Panthers was all there was.  I still feel bad about the Landry-Vince-Jess situation, plus I'm worried about Vince's future.  There wasn't quite enough about Julie in this episode, considering she's weighing some life-changing options about her future.   The Tim and Billy story was going great and sweet until their past came back to haunt them.  No matter what, I feel that every episode this season has gotten better and better, which will just make it that much more painful to part with it.
