"Off with their heads!"

If Strasser didn't remind me of Madonna already (at times the way her voice sounds and how she articulates)... tonight Dorian Lord was serving "VOGUE" !

Where do I even begin? Just three new episodes, but so much has gone down that picking a clip of the day seems nearly impossible. First, let’s discuss the major events. I think this was the longest build-up to sex I’ve ever witnessed in any type of entertainment, literature, or film. Sloan and Viki waited almost a year before finally giving in to temptation. Even the Devil lurking in the shadows couldn’t stop them. Viki slipped into her lingerie and joined Sloan (who looked incredibly fit for his age, MY GOD, he can still pull off a shirtless look - I was totally shocked!) and Anna Karenina finally took the plunge. She crossed that line. Another man’s penis finally got in, and there’s no going back now. Just as she was nibbling on strawberries that Sloan was feeding her... someone knocked on the door. And then everything went dark. Metaphorically speaking. I won’t linger on this too long - it was written beautifully and acted flawlessly. Clint saw his wife, who probably still smelled of Sloan and his body fluids... after what they did. He witnessed something he could never erase from his mind. That’s the kind of sight that can drive people to madness or even make them do something dangerous. However, the overall mood wasn’t one of rage or aggression, but of COMPLETE and utter SHOCK. Clint saw the death of the woman he believed Viki was. In front of him stood someone else, a stranger - someone who broke all their promises and vows... someone who cheated on him with another man while still married to him. Viki’s state shifted from post-orgasm bliss to... total breakdown. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Erika Slezak cry this much before - the tears were streaming down, ruining her eyeliner. THEN Clint LEFT. And the next day, he filed for divorce.

Switching gears to another part of Llanview - Marty Saybrooke is managing to cover up her trail from Thanksgiving for the time being. She made a call to a junkie friend of hers and set up a fake alibi. A similarly troubled girl who successfully deceived Nora and Bo. Then the writers did something I really disliked. Feeling sorry for Marty, full of pity and concern... Cassie and Andrew got the crazy idea to invite her to stay with them until she gets over her "accident". For a second, I thought - Are you guys complete idiots... but then I remembered that this is just who they are - they have this shared God complex attitude where they believe they can save anyone. It's like Viki on steroids. But I can predict where this is headed. Marty will likely cause trouble, mess up their marriage, or something worse... and Cassie will be the one to pay the price. It's like letting a snake into your home - don't be surprised later when it bites you. Still, it makes sense why we saw them trying to help her for so long. If we hadn't seen these moments prior... this wouldn't have made any sense. So I have to admit - this is something the writers planned out better than I thought they did, and I have to give them some credit.

Something really surprising is happening on another front as well. While Viki was nibbling her strawberries and Dorian was scheming her revenge... and Marty was in the hospital, we had the loon Alex coming up with a bizarre plan to steal Natasha Romanova (my aunt, actually 😆 - just kidding) 's jewels from The Buchanan Palace. She is enlisting Cain as her expert safe-cracker, with the ultimate goal of ruining Renee's life. Because WHY NOT. Let's not forget that the Hesser widow is still hopelessly in love with Morty, for reasons only her troubled mind can understand. I think it's the penis. That woman sure loved jerking him off in public. Still... when the moment arrived - at Renee's Mardi Gras party... this was the first time a more cartoonish plot like this actually WORKED. Watching Alex and Cain break into Natasha Romanova's suite was really fun. There was suspense. I think it's because they toned down the comedy and this time it’s just an adventure. I enjoyed it, and I have to give them props for that too. I usually dislike things like this, since they tend to be very plot-driven and not much else, but it blended nicely with the other dramatic elements of the episodes. It was a pleasant surprise. Oh, and before I forget - Natasha Romanova was quite the character, we saw her talking to Asa (who I welcomed back with open arms) and I really think they should make her a cast member ASAP (I know they won’t, but I just had to mention it, haha).

Now let's go back to the meat and potatoes. Dorian Lord is back in town and it's time for her grand entrance back to Llanview society - what could be better than dressing up like Marie Antoinette and crashing a party where everyone despises her? And here, ladies and gentlemen... we arrive at the clip of the day moment. I've chosen not to edit out any of the cheating or breakup love triangle scenes because I plan to use them for a music video soon, and it's best to showcase them in another way. For the highlight, however, I want to feature this little moment that made me scream out loud. Viki... almost like a warrior standing on the battlefield, after losing so much blood, unsure if he can keep going... and the Queen Bee, showing up with her usual wild SAVAGE energy and manic smile just to RUB IT IN. The lines... the finale... AH! You really have to see it for yourselves!
Overall - 10/10 - Honestly, never enjoyed the show more.
