Good rant.

I think one of the episode's biggest problems is that Lori's bitterness towards Lincoln was unjustified. Why was Lori acting this way. What did Lincoln do to deserve Lori's bitterness towards him? Just minding his own business? If Lincoln did something like accidentally break something of her's, like her phone, I wouldn't be bothered as much. But all Lincoln was doing was playing his game, and that's enough for Lori to snap at him? It's like she was only bitter just so the plot could happen.

While far from the worst, this is definitely one of my least favorite episodes from season 1.

Here's what I think would've been a better ending. After Lori yells at Lincoln for leaving a voice mail, Lincoln gets irritated and asks Lori why she was being so mean to him today. He asks her if he's just an annoyance to her. Then Lori realizes hiw rude she was being, feels bad, and apologizes to Lincoln for being so hard on him. Lincoln forgives her and they hug it out. When Lori finds Lincoln's written message, she confronts him, looking angry, and asks him what the massage is. Lincoln, who is frightened, tells Lori he mas mad about her breaking his game and her overall rude attitude towards him, and he didn't know she was was gonna buy him a new one. He apologizes. Lori tells Lincoln she's not happy with what he tried to say, but tells him that she doesn't blame him, saying she probably would've done the same thing if she was him. Lincoln is relieved, but Lori tells him the next time he has a problem with her, to just talk to her about it out. Lincoln agrees, they hug it out one more time, Lori goes back to her room, and Lincoln goes back to his game. Again, this is what I think would've been a better ending.
