I thought Phil said something like "I had to grow up and now Jake needs to" about Jakes addiction. Also on ATC Keith mention Murray on the Cornelia asking about where the crab was and the crab was there for Keith, but not for Murray who came to the same place an hour later. Maybe Murray finished out the season.

Keith was talking about how you can't just sit in one spot and crab. He used that for an example. One season, Keith was on the crab in one spot and hit the mother load. Later that week Murray went to the same spot and the crab were not there. Sig basically was saying they (the crab) don't sit and wait for you they are always on the move and that is why he and his crew never stop.

Keith was speaking of the season of opilios that Murray took over after Phil had his first pulmonary embolism. Murray has retired to Arizona to open up a coffee shop there.

Discovery is doing such a good job of showing these tough men grieving over the illness of a friend. The agony of Josh as he worries over his father and yet also his father's business at the same time...he is really growing into a man right in front of our eyes! Freddie giving him advice on what is important last night was wonderful. The tears in Keith's eyes last night when they showed the clip of Phil talking about Keith...you can't script this stuff! The shock in Andy and Sig's eyes (it brought tears to my eyes that he turned out the light so they couldn't film him as he mourned for his friend) as they realized how dire Phil's situation...Jonathan being there for his friend's children...too many wonderful and sad scenes to mention...and the Cornelia Marie slowly being surrounded by ice while it sits in the harbor...wonderful horrible watching this show right now.

If the prior episode was the highest cable viewership EVER for any show, then, this one probably breaks the record set last week.

I was beginning to think I was the only one who watched, and I sound like an advertising person for Discovery Channel in my above post, but I've just been mesmerized by how they have handled this...I had read that Phil had told the camera crews to continue filming and that they were very sensitive to show reality while not being too graphic...good job for the producers! They should give lessons to some other shows!

I don't have cable at home. I follow along on the internet. If any show has made me rethink my 'no cable' attitude, this show is it. This is a real 'reality' show.

Kookliebird, have it on good authority that last night's episode did, indeed, beat last week's in the ratings.

ROXIP -- you couldn't have said it better. I lost it when Keith and Sig lost it.

Ladyw, I agree with you about Roxip's 9:35 post! I too lost it when Keith and Sig lost it and when Freddy kept telling Josh to go to his dad, the crab could wait. So very, very sad and so very, very real.

Roxip -- just what I was thinking. I am not a Jonathan fan, but seeing him there picking up Josh and being there for those kids... that was so awesome and SO needed. And Sig tossing the cigarettes away angrily and flipping off the lights. Really well done.

No words can say how I feel now, except that I am very very sad.

I simply don't own enough tissues for this. I think this may have been the single most gutwrenching hour of TV (9/11 excluded) I've ever seen. And just when I thought my heart couldn't break anymore they showed the promo for next week and damned if Phil didn't seem so much better. Broke my heart because we know what happened, but I want them to change the ending (and it really did seem like he might be ok there). And ITA with all the comments bout the fleet...it shows how much they all truly love each other. When I thought the Freddy/Josh talk couldn't break my heart anymore, the way they so naturally said they loved each other did me in. And this is why I love this show. No wannabees fighting for airtime and agents...just real people and emotions. Just one big heartfelt

My dd asked if I was crying when we were watching. I said, yeah, a little. Not only about Phil and his boys, but it brought back memories of my dad. 2 years ago this month he went in to remove cancer in his colon, and never recovered. We lost him a couple of weeks later. My family was amazed at how I held up, was in control, etc. You never know what you can do until you're forced to. That's what I see with Josh. It was there all along, and he stepped up when needed. My heart goes out to his kids-it's not easy, whatever your age, to lose a parent.

Yep Blue, it doesn't matter what the age....and everytime you see or read about something like this, it brings it back. The loss of a parent is something you NEVER really get over, you just learn how to live with it. When Josh first joined the boat, I had my doubts about him, but that boy has really grown up. I realize in times like these you run on autopilot, but he is really trying to take everything into consideration. The talk with Freddie...totally broke my heart....actually, just reading these posts got the tears started again.

It kind of saddens me that Phil didn't see the potential in Josh all along...or perhaps he did, and just didn't think that his future was running the boat, but instead in another direction. I'm guessing that in a few years we will see Josh Harris running the boat...Jake is still an open-ended question.

I think we will eventually see Josh running the business end of the boat and if Jake can pull himself together he will be run the boat. Cornelia did the business end for Phil and the boys could be great partners together. That is what I felt Phil saw in their future.

Do we know if Josh has his captain's license? I vaguely caught him saying something the other night about not having anyone certified to run the boat.

I just read a post on the TWOP site that referred to the Cornelia Marie site: http://www.corneliamarie.com/
quote:The hard to watch story of our skipper continues tonight on the “Deadliest Catch”. Tonight, Phil gets medevacked to Anchorage. It’s at this point that my Mom, Cornelia M. Devlin joins the family at the hospital. We also call up good family friend Derrick Ray to fly into St. Paul to take over as skipper of the FV Cornelia Marie. Derrick is a well known Bering Sea Captain and Phil’s friend as well. I will write more about Derrick later in the week.
Nice to know some background on what is going on with the boat while Josh and Jake are with Phil.
