I agree. From appearing like an irrelevant plot point or C plot to a connecting plot thread and VERY important. I cheered when we got the flashback during the Smitty and Jacob scene. Such a BOOM moment as the plots converged on each other. Same. I cannot wait to see how Ted is tied into all of this. Moreso now that it seems he might actually fight for his marriage with Nicole. But stakes were raised. Well, if Friday proved anything, it does seem like it will all tie together. At least in the room meeting of all the men.

Very. Some of those camera angles gave powerful man. And power can be attractive.

Who was perfect in that role and sad she did not continue. But hey...I understand. I saw that and hollered. I haven't seen anyone mention a Brendabot in a good minute. I'm surprised honestly they haven't tried to re-pair Sonny with Nina honestly. As soon as PM was out the door, they all of a sudden had scenes again So I wondered.

*Kay Chancellor*Dear God in Heaven*Kay Chancellor*

I didn't even think about that. And that line of dialogue Kenny had about how he looked a little different now makes sense. Well, tbf, it feels intentional as the full picture has not been revealed YET and more than likely (like most of the questions that pop up here to be answered the next day or a few weeks later on the show) will be answered for you next week when they are all in the same room per Next Week's promo at the end of Friday's show. I mean when he's standing around with bass in his voice and giving off Papa Pope vibes...I mean... 😜

I can totally see that. Totally. THIS.

Well, you all were not kidding about all the eye candy today!!! Thank you, Cameramen!!!

RHOM MILAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. But this was more to my liking. It took me most of the episode to realize that it was only Larsa and Lisa in Milan while the other ladies stayed home. That was pretty ballsy of Production. But it shows how strong the drama is with this show that it can have a 'subplot' shipped off to another country while more drama goes on back home. I liked that there were things going on, but basically these were just individual scenes with little light parties. And light shade. Looking at you, Alexia, for not inviting Guerdy and Adriana to that dinner. Speaking of... ALEXIA. I cannot believe that she didn't invite Adriana or Guerdy to see their mutual friend because she felt they would make it all about them when she took the dinner and made it all about HER. I was rolling my eyes as I hollered. Cuz she was spilling that tea! lol. Meanwhile, I love that Production is piggybacking to the Alexia/Marysol tension from the reunion cliffhanger. I am anticipating an explosion between the two of them that has been a long time coming. GUERDY. I was surprised that she was showing us EVERYTHING with her recovery. And it's been fascinating for me to watch. And I enjoyed her kiki at the beginning with Adriana and Kiki. JULIA. GIRL, STOP. She stayed playing by having Guerdy's name in her mouth and running with that false narrative. Is Alexia really worth all this? And for all of that, she gave shades of the Julia I loved during the dinner by comforting Alexia. But next week...it looks like the episode where the alleged drink throw happened so we will see how it goes for her. Her lunging was not a good look. LISA. QUEEN. lol. I mean MILAN!!! First of all, the transition between Miami and Milan!!! Second of all, the scenery!!!! And then that fashion show (and Lisa looking boss bitca in that leather dress and that hair) was chef's kiss!!! And I love that the feud between her and Larsa has enough legs that it came travel to a whole other country. Cuz omg! Them on the same plane! Them in the same car! Larsa doing selfies during Lisa's walk to which Lisa blew her a kiss unbothered! Then a celebrity popping in to resolve things...while being TeamLisa btw...that was hilarious. LARSA. Lord, she stayed coming for Jody, didn't she? lol. But she gave as good as she got in this feud so far. I found her interacting with her son and just being in that influencer world fascinating. But I didn't like how she kept starting stuff with Lisa. And then to resolve it FINALLY only for her to go to the well again next week...le sigh. Honorable mention this week: Marysol. She is REALLY moving the stories this season and doing it so effortlessly. I'm finding myself watching her more than I have since the ole Miami days. Kiki stays giving looks. More Adriana please. Great episode. Can't wait until next week. I think you are right. And...yeah, I'm even picking on how short my thoughts are because it's only (for now) 5 Housewives. I hope they are not waiting for Stephanie to drop the taglines though. lol. Same. ESPECIALLY the bold. And Alexia vs Marysol has been a long time coming so I cannot wait. And rented. rented. I hollered when she dropped that.

IKR!! Come thru, Papa Dupree! THIS.

Oh, no! Not Vanessa walking in on Joey with the Chief of Police! OMFG!!! Two years ago? Smitty is getting muuuuuch too close to the truth about his hubby. Upped them stakes, writers!!! I love it!!! That said...I also like these scenes with Smitty and Jacob. Oooooo Vernon with that camera angle...he's giving some Papa Pope right now!!! The camera angles this episode!!! The director is also giving. That cliffhanger! Bill on the phone? And then next week...TED IS IN ON THIS, TOO???????????? CHIIIiiiiiLDDee!!! Great from start to finish. Well we know for sure she is a lot more wary due to what happened with Ted and Nicole (who she idolized in love) and SilkPress. I agree with this and it's why their scenes today hit so well.

Same.

Yasssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The flashback!!! It's official...they looped alll the way back to the Crooked Cop storyline!!! Ha!!! And here we go with Jacob realizing that his father might be involved. That said...why are they in that casino set??? Oh, I see. Well...BOOM!!! Get him, Vernon!!! I'm sorry. While I was in the minority when it comes to the Doug/Vanessa/Joey storyline, now that most of it is out in the open, it's been great to watch. My favorite of the first set of B plots. Come thru, Transition!!! First, RHOM! Now, HERE! YES, PLEASE.

Anita!!! OMG!!! SPILL THE TEA!!! And...I knew it!!! It has to do with a family member!!! Lol. Doug stay reading his wife I see. But at least they are staying together I guess. Well...this Ted/Nicole argument is giving.

Amen on shirtless!!! Y&R loss is totally GH gain!

Not Doug reading his wife with that bed comment. Hey, Nicole, hey!!! She stays dressing to the hilt.

HEY, JACOB'S DAD, HEY!!!! Ooooo Jacob is going to feel a way once he realize what his dad has been up to. OMG!!!! HEY, VERNON, HEY!!! I'm still loving him in take charge mode!!! Yasssssssssssss!!!! They are getting into it with Martin's Secret!!! So he's for the payback, huh!!??? OOooooo Vanessa is looking HOT.

So much.

And don't forget Jen Lindley's first bad boy playa college boyfriend on Dawson's Creek. Chad got around on that network. Oooooo YES, PLEASE.

Hmmmm I want to say they discussed it, but I think it's more Kat waiting for the one vs a ring. Please no rape. Now a random hook up maybe.

You missed out on some mess and iconic moments. But if it makes you feel better James Lafferty (who played his rival brother) turned out to have been 17 when that show started. I was shocked. Ah! I see. May there be great camera angles...if you know what I mean.

Honestly, I was hoping for this. It's not like JG is above someone suggesting this. This is how we got Diane back who should have never died in the first place.

Pretty mouth.

I could see that.
