Wasted potencial, that's pretty much what sums up this episode for me. The idea of having Chris and Caruso being forced to be together for a long time it's a pretty good idea and that part of the episode works, what really sealed the deal for me as far as wasting potencial it's the ending of new principle showing that it was his plan all along to leave them alone only to say to Chris "You learned I was wrong". I think a show has to decide when it can go the comedy route and when it shouldn't. It's one of the biggest " mishaps" of this series, it seems like it always has to end with the "Everybody Hates Hates Chris!!" song, which only makes sense with a comedy outing. The rest of the episode is pretty bland with a story envolving Julius giving a shirt for Drew (kind of pointless) and another of Tanya wanting some earrings and ending up stealing them from her mother (the ending was pointless as well for this one). Not horrible. But not good either. 5/10 *****
