"Ryan investigates Oliver while Sandy buys the Lighthouse"
Series 01, Episode 17
Episode Guide - Review - Quotes

Review
I screamed "no Seth don't do it," but yes he had to come out with something when Danny was making everybody laugh. The predictability of this show is amazing. Still the entertainment continues along the Sandy Jimmy front.

Ryan seems a bit over jealous to me I mean is Oliver really going to go psycho on her? If not maybe he should just let her go I mean they do seem to get on well together. Oh god, I think I am turning into a relationship freak.

Not so much a good episode as a build up to a good episode as it is leading on to good things to come. It does its job building suspense pretty well.

Quotes
Ryan: "He's your friend. So he's my friend"

Seth: "If not we can argue about that"

Jimmy: "We were drunk, there was singing involved"

Seth: "Or you could be a grown up and move on"

Seth: "Oh god we watches Leno, that explains everything"

Kirsten: "Aspirational. Is that even a real word?"

Sandy: "He makes Ryan look funny"
