THAT'S RIGHT, BILL!!!! YOU TEAR THAT BAD DECOR UP!!!!
A nice low-key start to the week for me. Of course, I would like it (for the most part) due to it being a Natalie Minardi Slater breakdown with a Judy Tate script. Cuz like I've mentioned I've really have started to like Tate's one-on-one scenes in her episodes which give insight into the characters she has to write for that episode. This was no different.
However, I did say for the most part. I was just saying yesterday that I hope they would let the tension grow between Chels and Naomi. And now here they are quickly resolving. Me: UGH. Seriously. Can we not have Duprees be on opposite sides for at least an arc? Other than that, I was really enjoying the Dani/Naomi/Chels scenes.
The Vernon/Anita scenes completely felt like recap, but I didn't mind that. Either one could read a phone book and I would be fine. And I about fell over at the Toni Morrison mention. I was at the library yesterday to pick up items and came across Toni Morrison's Sula which I have really fun memories of the debate that exploded in my Composition class over a book that at first everyone in my class felt indifferent to. To the strength of Morrison's writing that it snuck up on all of us and we started to take sides with the characters. I remember it being passionate and vicious. So hearing that today...lol.
But the crown jewel was Bill/Caroline. As you all know, I love a good henchwoman. And I love Caroline. I love the dynamic between her and Bill. And oooo on her talking about the slim chance of anything less than professional happening with them. But she not only gave more insight into him, but into herself as well. While I don't care for Bill still (but LOOOOOVE Timon's acting), it was nice to get more of his backstory with his parents, how he felt about himself, and more signs of remorse for how he treated Dani. If the writers are ever going to get anyone that is against Bill/Dani on his side, this soul-searching is very much needed.
Great coda with him tearing his living room (and thus, the fantasy of the life he thought he had with Hayley) apart.
