What was Todd doing? I had to step away..

Okay... just because this scene so deserves it:

Jessica: I want to know if it was worth it.

Natalie: What?

Jessica: The sex -- with Jared. I mean, it must have been spectacular -- for you to lie to all of us, the people that you call family, to make fools of us, to allow him to steal from us, to use us, and murder my husband?

Natalie: Okay, Jess, you really have to hear me explain this --

Jessica: I don't want you to explain a thing to me, Natalie. I want you to go downstairs, and explain to my daughter why her father is never coming home. Why Jared had to kill her father, why he pushed him so hard, that he fell through a skylight.

Natalie: Jessica, you were there! You know--!

Jessica: And explain to her... EXPLAIN TO HER... why her dad isn't going to be there every morning! Explain to her why he isn't going to be able to sing to her every night! Explain to her why you and Jared took Nash away from us, and why he will never know this new baby all because you were so desperate to get laid!

Natalie: Jessica, I love him--!

(Jessica SLAPS Natalie hard)

Jessica: You are a hateful and disgusting person. And if you love him, I don't want anything to do with you.

Thank you! I bolded my favourite line (when my jaw dropped)

And I have just joined the "Official Slap Fan Club"

Today's was great; Nigel slapping Jared a few weeks ago also deserves mention. I would qualify BitchyBangs left hook to Gigi as a slap - it was hand to face contact. OLTL needs more slapping! Viki, you MUST slap Dorian, or at least be at the head of the line and then you must SLAP, Charlie, Natalie and Jared too! All soaps need more slaps. Then for next year's Emmys we could have a SLAPPING MONTAGE!

just to add: Loved how Jess brought up the kind of person Natalie was when she first arrived.

Jessica's verbal (and physical) smackdown of Natalie surpassed my wildest dreams!

More later, but I'm at work.

Also amazing: Adriana/Dorian.

Thank you! I bolded my favourite line (when my jaw dropped)

I literally SQUEAKED when my jaw dropped at that moment too, TC.

Bree's delivery was spot-on, and Melissa really stepped up, looking genuinely frightened and terrified and wracked with guilt.

You know not what you have wrought, Natalie...

Go Jessica Slap Her Again! I thought Viki should have slapped her to after Nat came blubbering to her.

Nice! You typed up the dialogue! LOL

After yesterday's episode, you knew Jessica was going to go off on Natalie and she sure did today!

Let the sibling rivalry begin.

Yeah Melissa did all those especially well, especially the guilt - and Natalie's flawed character emerged with evey attempt to talk her way out of it, not that Jess allowed her to.

I love that they are bringing back the TRUE Natalie. I loved her back then and I am loving her now.

And just because this deserves it too!

Dorian: You are a Cramer, and you will be for the rest of your life!

Adriana (throwing the mock-up to the floor): NOT ANYMORE! And I won't be a Balsom much longer either, thanks to you. So I am giving you back your "Cramer name". Go inflict it on someone else, tell Langston you're all hers now!

Dorian: Where are you going?!

Adriana: The exact same place Cassie and Kelly went, and Langston will go too, when she wises up - AS FAR AWAY FROM YOU AS POSSIBLE.

This dialougue is crazy!!Kudos to Gary Tomlin!!

Oh my! I forgot about that reference to Langston. Of course it's what we all suspect to happen, sooner or later.

Its on my dvr, i'm excited to watch later...going to see Indiana Jones in a few..

OT, but - who guessed 800 posts by Friday? :-)

Great episode. The Jessica/Natalie scenes were just awesome. That SLAP was fabulous.

Anyone catch the symbolism with Dorian and Adriana matching clothes? Loved it.
