Episode 7.11: "Last Christmas"
Christmas comes to Boston on a very special holiday episode. With his ex in town for the holidays, Patrick is unnerved by his unseen presence -- which causes some static with his new beau. Will he finally overcome his relationship fears and give his heart to someone special this year? Meanwhile, Tom recovers from surgery, Yelli faces the holiday rush, and a very pregnant Page prepares to give birth to baby Pierce. Guest starring: Steven W. Bailey as Joe, Sarah Utterback as Nurse Olivia, Jake Gyllenhaal as "Duncan," and Joey Cheek as "Mr. Harvard."
Yes, if my life were an ABC dramedy (and who's to say it isn't?), this year's holiday episode would close with a cool indie-ish cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas," perhaps done by Imogen Heap, Mat Kearney, or Tegan & Sara (a shame that Dexter Freebish's awesome version is too 2000), as "Patrick" makes up his mind and as mama "Page" pops out a baby. What is her top secret boy's name? Will our hero finally get over himself and take the plunge? If this blog is any indication, all signs point to -- "Ask again later."
Next Episode: "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"
i've been reading for a while and am always entertained. I couldn't help but comment with a thought: how about Less Than Jake's version of Last Christmas? They have a holiday EP on iTunes--worth a listen. I tried an indie-rock holiday covers mix last year and only got so far. In lieu of quantity, I go with quality and put it on repeat while I try to get into the holiday spirit.
happy holidays!
