Instant Star: The Long and Winding Road

Awesome: Jude and Tommy finally get together, despite his troubled past and the fact that she's not quite legal.

Not Awesome: Tommy may or may not have seen a ghost from his aforementioned troubled past; Darius left his part-time receptionist in charge of a major record label while he was out of the country; new artist Pagan's quirky for the sake of Quirk; and we still don't really know much about Tommy's Angie, other than that she's dead and she had terrible taste in jewelry.

Questions answered: Is anyone still in school? Yes, Spiederman's working on physics homework. Why is he working on it at the studio? That went unanswered along with why did Kyle have a tape of two rodents mating in his car? And did Boyz Attack only have one damn song?

Frankly, if it hadn't been for Jude and Tommy finally kissing and not immediately regretting it, this episode would have a gotten a D in my book. And I have to give props to Tim Rozon for elevating Tommy out of the muddled character motivation the writers provided and making me really feel for a 25 year-old dude scamming on his teenaged protégé.

Next week: Tommy writes Jude a song for her birthday! And it kind of blows.
