This episode was amazing, it is very touching
and I can't believe that Eugene actually started to
Crying!!! It is very sad the Katrina and Eugene can't have
children, put God can work miracles all they have to do is
pray, and God can bless them with 7 or more kids:) If you
have not heard this episode then just go to the whitsend
website and listen to it, it is very sad and I feel really
bad!! But hey its life and can't wait to hear the remaining
episodes!!! :)

I really like more Whit.
There's no way I can get used to the change if he's not in
more episodes. I actually like him in this one. And he
actually told a Bible story in this one. Awesome. But, um.
Wouldn't a talking portrait be created originally by Whit?
Meaning no drivers to update. And why on earth would it
happen to effect the program in that way?
But overall it was a really, really good episode. Jay is my
favorite new character.

The Bible story definitely
made it feel like the older AIO.
I wish they hasn't done library activities, though. They
made the group seem like a cruel and geeky group. The point
wasn't, never get involved in a library, it was to not get
sidetracked from the real solution. Just seemed like a poor
example.
Jay's time was priceless. xD I hope we hear him doing his
new 'job' in future episodes.

I think AIO is going back up
finally. This episode was really good. Priscilla's voice has
changed a little.
Review by Taq
At first I liked the
Eugene/Katrina story better since it tackled a big issue
[infertility], then the Barrett/Priscilla/Jay story grew on
me when Barrett invited Jay to do the announcements and the
two were sparring back and forth. That was hilarious.
Bringing in infertility was brilliant. (I wonder how that
was decided. Future question for a podcast?) It addresses
the incessant question of the fans about Eugene and Katrina
having kids. It either settles the question once and for all
OR buys time for healing, adoption, etc. I would say foster
children but we already saw that recently with the
Washingtons and Kelly.
Both stories were a man comforting a woman. It would have
been interesting to hear about a man needing to be
comforted.

Wow. I honestly don't know how
to put into words how I feel about this episode. It was
incredible. Especially the Eugene and Katrina half. Part of
me wishes that the entire episode had been about them, but
the other part is glad there was the Barret and Priscilla
story to keep it a bit lighter. Both stories were well done.
When Whit said they had seen their doctor, my first thought
was a miscarriage - which would have actually been an
excellent episode (and then I just remembered they did that
with Forever, Amen), so while my mind was in the right
place, the actual diagnosis shocked me. I feel for Eugene
and Katrina. My heart breaks for them - I almost started
crying at the news. As a wife, I can't imagine the pain that
Katrina must be feeling. However, I cannot wait to see what
happens next with this situation. Will they do foster care?
Or maybe someday down the road, God will do a miracle, and
they will get pregnant! Either way, the issue of them having
kids was sewn up nicely.
This episode was so real on both counts. As a wife, I want
my husband to just sit and cry with me sometimes when
something terrible has happened, or just listen and let me
talk, or go do something with me like Priscilla did with
Barret.
Gentlemen, a word of advice: there are times when we want
you to fight our battles for us (like Barret tried to do
with Priscilla), and there are times when we just want you
to sit and listen to us. As long as you listen first before
acting, and help your girl out, you will do them a world of
help and healing, and it will mean more to her than
anything.
Overall, an excellent episode, and again going on my
favorites list. Whit and Connie were great also.
(side question, why didn't they just keep the character as
Edith Sutton since the voice is the same?)

I was dreading hearing this
show because I was afraid my suspicions would be correct.
And I was. Katrina can't have a baby. I think that's just an
easy way for the writers to end fans questions about it and
so "Eugene's character doesn't change." I was kind of mad
but I was almost cried in a few parts in the show. I felt so
bad for Eugene and Katrina!
I thought I wouldn't realy care about the Barrett/Priscilla
storyline but it was surprisingly good. The first thing I
noticed was that Priscilla's voice was depper. Woah! I don't
think those 2 will last past Album 56. But if they go, I
hope Emily goes with them. O Happy Day!
I think this episode was great! We finally get more serious
stuff without a whole lot of comical stuff spoiling it. Whit
was awesome and Connie was okay. 4/5 stars for me.

I think Focus did a lovely job
with the Eugene and Katrina storyline, as much as I would
live to "see" them have children, Focus opened another door
that allows foster or adoption to come into the picture,
Eugene was missing so much and it took a good old fashion
Whit lesson to help him and Katrina. The Barrett and
Pricilla storyline was rather spontaneous feeling, it seemed
like a very quick written sub plot, but the overall moral
was sort of brought across, the best scene in the Barrett
and Pricilla storyline was Jay and the tongue twisters. The
best Eugene and Katrina scene was the last one, it was so
sweet. Did anyone notice that Pricilla asks for a chocolate
milkshake, but in the malted milkball falcon she says she's
allergic to chocolate. Overall 4/5 it would be 5/5, but the
Barrett and Pricilla part wasn't very well done.

I thought the Eugene and
Katrina storyline was excellent. Glad to see AIO addressing
more serious/real-life issues again. The Barrett and
Priscilla storyline was pretty silly in my opinion, but it
probably kept the younger listeners engaged. I'm guessing
the 8-12 yr old set (and probably even young teens) may not
"get" Eugene and Katrina's story the way older listeners do.
I do have one concern about this storyline. I hope the
writers don't just have Eugene and Katrina suddenly decide
to foster parent or adopt four episodes later and suddenly
everything is ok. Adoption and foster care are both great
choices. Infertility is a struggle of its own, and adoption
does not automatically fix the sense of loss that couples
may feel. I think it would be great if Eugene and Katrina
decided to adopt, but I hope they flesh out this storyline
first.
