Week Seven, Part III (Conclusion)
Relationship Roundup: Likely because of Valentine's Day, we get a good amount of romantic or would-be romantic material.
Anna and Buzz: Friday's episode includes what feels like the most blatant chem testing to date for them. Robin's sick, Filomena's out of town, and Buzz lays down the law with Anna. She's got to delegate her police duties and for today at least, stay home with her kid. I like that Robin wasn't especially bratty, but she also wasn't perfectly well-behaved. It's things like Robin hanging around the kitchen because she was lonely, asking Anna a million questions, and interrupting Anna's phone call. Later on, Buzz stops by with Chinese food and makes amends with Anna. She notes that he spends more time with her family than most real fathers do with their own. Before anything can get more serious, Anna falls asleep on Buzz's shoulder.
Bobbie and Jake: Thursday's episode concludes with their having sex for the first time and before that, Jake unofficially proposing. "(Are you) free enough to spend the rest of your life with me?" Prior to this, the couple try out his tuxedo during date night at the Port Charles Hotel. It's just dinner and dancing, though, the actual sex takes place at Jake's place.
Jade and Yank: In a flagrant waste of John Beradino, Steve shows up for the first time in weeks to encourage Yank to stick with his relationship. The romance might be catch-as-catch-can for a while, as it was for the Hardys back in the day, but it will be worth it. Fairy Godfather Steve ends up being a-ok with the young couple kissing in a housekeeping closet, so long as they don't make a habit of it.
Frisco and Felicia: In light of the fact that Jack & Kristina weren't thrilled that the show wrote in her pregnancy, it's funny that as early as 1986, GH was teasing the idea of Frisco and Felicia having kids. They get some sweet moments on Wednesday, fixing up the Brownstone attic to be Terry and Kevin's new place.
Sean and Monica: She returns his flowers and is torn between him and her Quartermaine identity. She literally says it's about her identity, not Alan specifically. Then again, it's easy to understand why. "You have no idea, what it feels like to be ... to be loved." The Sean's scheme storyline didn't get much progress this week, aside from this scene and Jimmy Lee, Alan, and Edward continuing to be conned.
Mike's Paternity: It takes time, but the combination of Claudia calling out Mike for being a brat, plus Willie regaining the ability to speak, helps Mike defrost a little towards Jeff, Rick, and Ginny. I know it won't last, but oh, how I wish it would have. Also, Rick and Ginny also get to have date night at the table next to Bobbie and Jake's.
Other thoughts:
-- It is never not going to seem strange that Bobbie is so buddy-buddy with Ginny. On Monday, Bobbie declares her to be one of the least selfish people around, always doing something for somebody.
-- @slick jones, who played Mrs. O'Connor? I'm 85% sure that's Jim McKrell (the "Grab That Dough" episode of The Golden Girls, The Howling) as Mr. O'Connor.
