User blog:AustinDR/Review: Patching Things Up

So in this episode, Lola and Lana audition for the Bluebell Scouts, but they find that they are more suited than the other. Now, I'll start by saying that I don't hate Lola, never did. Yes, I do make jokes about her being a sociopath every now and then (I mean, she meets about two or three of the criteria, but I digress) but I never despised her. For the most part I find her annoying. I personally find "A Tattler's Tale" a pretty great episode for instance. I would've ended up hating her in that episode, if it wasn't for the fact that she actually takes all of the blame for what her siblings did. With this episode, she was pretty tolerable. You could tell that she genuinely wanted Lana to get her Bluebell Scout badge as well, and they don't really get hostile with each other. Granted, they are at each other's throats towards the end of the episode, but they quickly apologize to each other.

Now, the sideplot with Lincoln and Clyde trying to obtain some cookies. Admittedly, I felt that they shouldn't have been in the episode. They really don't contribute anything to the plot. Yeah, it's funny, but in the grand scheme of things, the episode would've done well if they weren't inserted in it. I mean, the episode is mostly about Lola and Lana after all. Oh, I can just imagine what other LH fans will say about Lincoln not getting the cookies in the end. "Lincoln Torture!" they'll probably scream.

Other than that, it was a great episode, but I wished that it was more devoted to the two twins and didn't implant the B-plot.

Final score: 4 out of 5 stars
