I totally agree with Mellissa. I thought that they were going to bring up something about Ruth and her having the baby for a fact, but they did not. I really wanted to know how the baby was doing and if it was making progress. I also wanted to know (as i said before) about the new house and how the Younger's were progressing. I wanted to know if they were having any problems with neighbors (since they are in a white neighborhood).
