Another World, January 6th 1989
The engagement party from Hell (kinda)
Let's begin, shall we?
The episode started with the juicy revelation that Vicky may not be carrying precious little Jamie's spawn, but her sister's husband's! My husband exclaimed - "I knew this! That's why the other one can't have children. I hate her! She is this show's Brooke!" to which I replied - "Come on now, she is not as bad as Brooke. Vicky is an angel compared to the plague that swept through Beverly Hills. "
In Felicia's home we had the all so annoying Donna Hudson, who I pray to God soon loses her husband... ambushing Felicia with her equally obnoxious daughter's fake wedding party who she wants to be held at Tops. Gallant of course declines, but Donna doesn't take "No" for an answer and reminds Felicia that Vicky owns the building! You can guess what happened next.
Then at the door appeared the woman that is plotting at least 10 lives to ruin - Iris Wheeler, still unhappy, still full of hatred for normal people, still unloved by her only child! Iris revealed to Felicia the picture above the article, based on her life. Parallel to this, we saw a hand holding a medallion containing a similar picture of Felicia when she was young and comparing it with the picture in the magazine.
Evan offered Jason Frame a new contract so that he gets off Iris's back. Jason is milking the "Chief" thing till he can. And we also had Sharlene and John in somewhat of an awkward situation. John expressed hesitance in wanting to pursue the relationship with her. I saw that coming! But I'm rooting for them. They are the only two people that I want to see happy on this show!
So the time for that wicked engagement party came and everyone was acting like they are happy (deep down knowing this is a complete circus) and long and behold, just as Jamie was trying to think of something to say that would sound a bit truthful (because we all know he doesn't love Vicky)... a classic soap opera moment - Lisa came through the door of the restaurant and he saw her. Vicky did too. Freeze Frame. The end.
Overall - 10/10!!!!!!!!!
Favorite moment - not the final, but watching Iris make faces behind Felicia's back. Carmen Duncan is one hell of an actress. It is so hard to follow BM, but she is doing a wonderful job. My husband loves her too.
"Hey why don't you send Michael to Tops!" 😂
