In truth though, I can’t believe the writers introduced an essentially useless character, just to give him one episode all season long. Reid never really blended in with our core group, and had he died, it sadly wouldn’t have bothered me that much (yes, I get the parallel between the fact that as viewers, we too ignored Reid). In fact, with only a handful of episodes remaining, I generally was annoyed that Reid got so much screen time.
Reid’s attempted suicide did provide for some really touching moments between Ephram and Andy (his father) and more importantly Ephram and Amy. You can already tell that those two are heading back towards getting together (again!) and lets hope it’s forever (yes, I’m a shamless Amy/Ephram shipper).
