Which brings us to B&B and the tale of the magic mints that make you have sex with your boyfriend’s cousin. Assuming we buy the fact that there are mints that made Luna so out of it she stumbled into Zende’s bedroom by accident and hallucinated R.J. while having sex with Zende, what kind of story is this for the only young couple on the show? And how can they do sweet, adopted, hard-working Zende Forrester like that?
Zende (to a sobbing Luna): “You do know that what we shared was consensual?”
Not to her. Luna relayed the whole sordid tale to her mother who confessed that the mints she takes for “anxiety” — which Luna stole from her — were what lead to Luna mistaking a tall Black man for her stocky white boyfriend.
Luna: “Oh my God, I got drugged by my own mother!”
I can’t with this story, so let’s focus on how Li turned out to be right about her sister. I thought Finn’s mom had just become a nagging harpy, jealous of Poppy dating Bill Spencer, but then this:
Li: “You’ve had a parade of lovers, all very handsome and all very rich. Bill might be the jackpot. You say you’re carefree. Is that a euphemism for taking drugs? Your mints. I know about them. I see you reaching into your purse for your little stash. I’m a doctor. You can’t hide from me.”
So Poppy is a careless mother and Luna is a careless sex-haver and these promising new characters have now been undone by a box of mints.
Let’s give the last word to R.J., who brought the heat to his mother re: introducing Luna to the Forresters with their loooong history of impropriety.
R.J.: “I want to protect Luna from the drama.”
Brooke (sarcastic): “Our family? Drama?”
R.J.: “I come from two lines of constant public scandal.”
Brace yourself for some REAL scandal, son…
