>Comment on the episode, or your reaction?

Both.
I mean, it's well animated, and it does appeal to one's "mother's instinct", seeing one's kids growing up and trying to do things that are difficult for kids, things like that.
But I failed to get involved. The kids are working their asses off to make a birthday present for the older sister, but the older sister comes out as a lazy, revengeful, chain smoker bitch, so why should I care that she gets a birthday present? ^^;
Yeah yeah I know, in the end she shows up to be compassionate... in the very end. And even then she had to go and scribble on the girl's face some (nasty?) comment. Oh boy. This place needs some parenting... hey where is everybody, anyway? I have yet to see a single other soul around.
