Commentary:

Cyndi Glass: Having seen this one before I ever saw #9 "Blindsided," I immediately recognized the plot when I saw "Blindsided," but of course it was filmed first. This is kind of dismal - where do these kids go after they can’t make it at this high school? The detention center? Prison? Great title for the show, BTW - this is these kids’ "last chance" - but I think the title signifies a change in direction for the main characters as well. Whether it’s just that the season is winding down, or Hanson & Penhall experienced so much in El Salvador, or Penhall has a kid now - everyone seems to sense that changes are upon the group.
