Thought it was a good episode but I think maybe Lily knows someone who had an abortion but I wonder if maybe she just feels bad for those who had one.

I didn't think it was the guy they arrested at the end though when I first saw this episode.

Wow.

This was a great episode. From what I can understand, mainstream US shows rarely deal with a character actually having an abortion, so this episode is kind of ground breaking.

This episode perfectly illustrated the desperate attempts women went to have an abortion. Julia and Gerrard were heroes. Whether you agree with abortion or not, they were helping women have it safely, and put themselves at a lot of risk. I was really pleased that this episode acknowledged how hard they'd worked.

As a Buffy fan, I was really happy to see Amber Benson again, as I loved her as Tara. She was born to play a hippie, I think.

I wish Free Love hadn't ripped off this episode, because it was much better the first time around.

I wonder if Lilly keeps photos of her victims, even after the case has been solved.
