The Gosselins have settled in their new home, but they head back to the old house to tie up some loose ends. As the family visits the old house for the last time, will they find that absence makes the heart grow fonder?

RECAP
I had to really reflect on this episode. It just isn't good enough for a play by play. Kate and Jon are as obnoxious as ever. Kate whined on and on about her crackerbox shack that she "used" to live in. All the while she flashed her capped smile, strutted her tanned skin and generally looked smug and yet miserable at the same time.
I am still stymied as to why they would even want to go back to this "horrible" place if it was so lousy to begin with. At any rate, Kate was so surprised at how small her old home really was. They "needed" the space the new house afforded "so bad". Basically Kate bitched the whole episode like a stuck pig. (Similarities? You be the judge.)
Again, we find that they can't keep the editing straight and the episode fully reinforces the whole idea that everything is staged. Kate is wearing two outfits in the same day on this episode-- not a crime, but it just shows they have bad editing techniques. Also, there was the case of mysterious moving boxes. Perhaps they should call the Gang and have the Mystery Machine come and check it out!
The children looked very bored, tired and upset that the cameras were even there. Way to parent. Don't you know, Jon and Kate, that the kids need to have breaks from their "family job"? I am sure it was ORGANIC pizza they had. (What happened to cooking Kate- freezing, canning, preparing ahead and being the pioneer you make yourself out to be?)
I am always stunned by Kate and Jon and their disregard for the fine things they have. I don't know why but I am. They left the piano in that home. Can you believe it? I wish the person who donated it would come forward and tell us how (s)he feels about that! She even said you should get rid of anything you don't use in three months. That would mean her sons and Jon would be out in the cold! She certainly said that to jab at her husband and all his dad's stuff that should be gotten rid of (in her opinion). The non-look on her face when Jon talked of sorting through his dad's stuff was just more proof she is a Bitchy Grinch without a heart.
What I found the most painful about this episode was that Kate "tried" to include Jon in the conversation but they kept so far to themselves that it was glaringly obvious neither has a shred of respect for the other. (Cheers, Jon!)
The quote I loved the best this week was "I'll have closure when I don't have any more bills from that house". What the fuck? Closure? Was she traumatized in some way? And what bills? How can she even say that when she bought a $1.3M house in this economy? Dumb bitch.
And then it was over, with a montage of "memorable" moments with the Gosselins driving away. I bet the neighborhood broke out the champagne after that!
I caught the episode of the 'tups starting preschool. Yawn. I loved the fact that Jon and Kate pick up the kids and are the first ones out because they make up half the class. Uh, ok. Whatever that means.
Filler episodes mean there is a transition ahead. The kids are getting older, going to school. Not much left to show. This family isn't typical. The kids aren't that cute. What is left?
Maybe, just maybe, that gravy train is about to slow down- maybe even congeal a bit.

I think the scene where they relived the "pine cone box" incident was the most telling part of the show (as a sign of how much Jon & Kates relationship has deteriorated).
In the clip, when Jon disagrees with Kate and insists the box will fit, Kate breaks down lovingly laughing as Jon is proven wrong and has to stuff the box onto the shelf.
Would the Kate of 2008/2009 just laugh when Jon goes against her judgment/opinion? Does Kate even laugh anymore?
okay tyhe pizza thing, did you not notice she was CLEANING THE ENTIRE KITCHEN?
would you want to make dinner in a kitchen you were trying to make clean enough to put your food and dishes in? again there was no realy food in the hous, apparent in the EMPTY fridge, and the WMPTY cabinets
and the fact at the time they didn't officially live there yet
of ciourse she ordered pizza, and no it's not organic, most likely whole wheat crust at most.
yes kate sucks and i hate her, but i mean it's not like verything she does is horrible and will harm the children
and of course she has bills from the old house. everything has to go in they're name
yes they get amazing perks and pay from the show., but they still have bills, and i'm sure as it would be more financially sound, they have a mortgage and a car lease etc, becuase it's cheaper to keep more money inthe bank and live off the interest than to pay everything up front and have that much less money
again i hate kate, and mady bugs me sometimes
but jon and the kids are great. he's a great dad, a littel imasculated by kate but still great
and in all honesty parent styles and children aside, if you were given that opportunity in life, i don't think that everyone here could say, oh no i owuldnever take it!
