I just watched it again...thanks to degrassifan....THANK YOU! And i noticed something I hadn't really noticed before:

1-Did all of you realize the awkward silence Paige and Alex shared right before Ellie and Marco came on?

2- And I love the way Lauren says, 'ok. I'm sorry. Your not. ' It was her tone. She said it in such a way that it leads me to believe her caring for Alex may have been genuine prior to LOL. YES YES I KNOW this was filmed afterwards and this was probably ANOTHER way for the writers to make up for their lack of consideration dealing w/ Palex. But still. Watch AGAIN if you don't know what I'm saying. You have to hear Paige say this.
