  false alarm

  A warning about a danger that does not happen; a belief that something bad is going to happen, when it is not. 例如:

  The fire service was called out but it was a false alarm.

  fair game

  If a person or thing is said to be fair game, it is considered acceptable to play jokes on them, criticize them, etc. “可据理加以抨击的对象,可攻击的对象”,例如:

  The younger teachers were considered fair game by most of the kids.

  Politicians were always considered fair game by cartoonists.

  reflect well, badly, etc. on somebody / something

  To make somebody/ something appear to be good, bad, etc. to other people. “让某人某物在别人眼里显得…”例如:

  This incident reflects badly on everyone involved.

  The economic crisis reflects badly on the government's policies.

  貌似在第一季的倒数第二集,《老妈》的剧情开始走温情路线了,是为了给第二季留悬念么?最后一集见~
