Forget-Me-Nots: Favorite Episodes And Moments From “Girlfriends”

Joan Finally Gets Her Turn

The beginning of season seven finds Joan in New Orleans building and restoring homes in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. There, she meets a teacher named Aaron and through the season, he proves to be the one man who can fully handle Joan.  They’re in love, they buy a home and of course, Joan is ready to be married. She gets so over the moon about the idea of marrying Aaron that she actually proposed to him.  A conversation he previously had with Mya and Lynn makes him hesitant to respond only because he wants to propose to her and be traditional.  In the meantime, Joan takes a step back and has a “moment” with Brock, her former enchanted love.  But they realize that its not going to happen and thankfully, Aaron’s sincere proposal is right on time.  Joan has finally…got her man.

By the way, the next season he’s called off to Iraq (yes, he’s a military dude) but that entire final season was a dud so we’ll just ignore it.
