I agree with you chrissy..although I wonder what made her hubby change his mind about the funeral. Also, the speech at the end...made me teary-eyed. Really moving and powerful. I am really loving Roland too...the guy is so strong..and willing to fight for his wife despite everything. Next coupla weeks should be fun episodes...with Roxy's mom coming and Trevor's deployment delayed..and Roxy's bday party. It will be fun to see..
article that came out..summing up that filming will remain in charleston for next season if picked up..and they will know next week if there will be a season 2..

"Army Wives" is to return for another tour of duty in the Charleston region, on the likely condition that the up-and-coming cable television series gets renewed for a second season.
The makers of the Lifetime Network show threatened last month to move production after the state tweaked financial incentives it offers the film industry.
ABC Studios agreed to keep shooting the show in the Lowcountry after a meeting Thursday that included its executives and state Commerce Secretary Joe Taylor, whose agency oversees film incentives.
At issue were 20 percent wage rebates, which the state began offering film production companies last year to attract more movie business to South Carolina. Concerned that the state was not getting the return it anticipated, the Commerce Department's Coordinating Council approved a plan to scale back the incentives starting this month for workers who are not South Carolina residents.
But the state has since clarified that the changes apply only to "transient" feature films and do not affect employees on TV series, including "Army Wives."
"It was just a good meeting of the minds, to understand some of the intentions behind the legislation and to understand how that could fit in with how our business works," said Bryan Noon, vice president for finance and planning for ABC Studios.
The Coordinating Council is scheduled to revisit wage rebates for TV series at its next meeting.
The producers of "Army Wives" are wrapping up a five-month shoot in the Charleston area, with much of the activity taking place on the old Navy base. It was unclear Tuesday when taping will begin for the next season.
Lifetime, which airs "Army Wives" on Sunday nights, is expected to announce as early as next week that it is picking up the series for another season.
The show, which stars Catherine Bell and Kim Delaney, has been a hit. It premiered last month to 3.5 million viewers, setting a record for the cable network. The ratings have been climbing ever since.
