In this episode, Emily takes a much-needed day off to work on her poetry. However, what Emily doesn't count on is the effect her supposed sickness will have on her family as they suddenly all think she is dying. This episode is kind of a mixed bag. On the positive side, Hailee's performance as Emily is amazing. She is so great at portraying the sarcastic and over-the-top poet. I think all writers can relate to the idea of needing a day off just to write. It was also good to see that Emily's family actually care and worry about her. However, the parent's comedy was a little too over the top for me to the point it wasn't funny. However, the downside of this episode is Ben. I never really cared much for the Ben subplot. I felt like the chemistry between him and Emily wasn't there. Especially as the show's first half builds up the sexual tension between Emily and Sue; they just want us to forget about it because a pretty boy showed up. Overall, it was still a good episode and better than most TV shows. It's just not as good as some of the other episodes.
