Lust For Life is in my opinion the best episode so far. By faking Johnny's death, the band gets renewed attention and gets the opportunity for Gigi to do her first gig. The episode centers around the relationship between Johnny and Gigi. At the start of the series Gigi started as this very strong, determined girl ('I don't need a father') but as the series progress, she shows more vulnerability. Yes, Gigi still wants to be the star, but she also wants her father to love her, and is unsure about her first performance. Besides this more touching side of the episode there is also plenty room for for the fast, hilarious and sometimes cynical jokes Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll is great at. The episode ends with an outstanding performance by Gigi. She sings New York 2015, a beautiful song about her relationship with her father. Johnny can't hold back his tears when he sees her perform. Neither could I.

I love this episode!

Warning: Spoilers
This is absolutely my favorite episode yet! It is hilariously funny how everyone reacts to Johnny's fake death. The conversations between Ava and Johnny about Joan Jett and Bon Jovi are epic. Bam Bam is adorable and Rehab is the funniest with his dry humor and how serious he talks about his Potato song cycle. Gigi is the best of all. She's so funny how she teases her dad with her possibly dating Flash. Then she is the sweetest when she talks about her dad's health and also when she is scared before her first performance. In the end, she is absolutely amazing when she sings. That is no question the most beautiful scene of SDRR so far. It made me cry so beautiful was it. I recommend this show to everyone who loves comedy, music and drama. And don't forget you can also buy this beautiful music from Gigi/ Elizabeth Gillies on Itunes or play on Spotify!
