Stories in Prologue:

A. At the police station, JR's on the phone trying to get Adam to answer him. The other end hangs up. JR's escorted back into the interrogation room. Erica arrives and heads to the room but Jesse stops her. Erica says she's there to post JR's bail, but Jesse tells her the judge denied bail, claiming JR's a flight risk. Erica's worried about what's happening with Little Adam, and Jesse tells her that he's being well taken care of.

B. At the Hubbards, Angie's trying to get Little Adam to eat. Little A asks if his father is in jail, and Angie tells him he's at the police station. Little Adam wants his father and Angie tries to assure him that JR's doing everything he can to come back for him. Little Adam insists he wants to go home NOW and tries to bolt out of the loft when Natalia enters, stopping him.

C. David and Kwak are about to leave the hospital when Jake tells her that she's not being checked out. David isn't having it.

D. Ryan is challenging Zach. [ETA: Kendall presumably calls Zach, Zach wants to answer the phone, saying its his wife, and Ryan gloats she's about to be his ex-wife] Zach tells him that if he wants to bring Zach to his knees and destroy every thing he has, Ryan will have to kill him first -- and thinks Ryan doesn't have the brass to go through with it.

DISCUSS, DAMMIT!

I forgot to mention Kendall called Zach in the prologue (she wasn't shown, though). Sorry for getting hopes up.

Anyway, this Judge Schmuck is incredibly spineless. How the hell did he ever become a judge? He just caves in to whatever threat happens to be hanging over his head... which seems to be many. I mean, damn, I know the legal system in Pine Valley is incredibly corrupt, but daaaaaaaayum!

Speaking of Kendall, is this nanny "Rachel" or is she someone else? Wasn't the previous Rachel younger and hotter -- fitting in with the Fusion Girls? I mean, I could be wrong, since we never see her.

Moving on... going back to corrupt law officials... how, exactly, does the Chief of Police have the ability to shelter a child in the middle of a custody case? Is it me, or does that kind of smell a little like CONFLICT OF INTEREST?! I'm not a law buff by any means... but this just seems a little, shall we say, ODD AND CONTRIVED AND NOT ENDEARING ME ANY MORE TO JESSE, WHO IS ON THIN ICE WITH ME FOR FRAMING DAVID TO BEGIN WITH!

Question -- Zach and Myrtle's photo in the casino reminded me... Does Kendall know that Myrtle's dead? Or did she wake up, have Erica fill her head with lies about Reese, and that's been the only thing she's focused on ever since?

I don't like Randi. I reeeally don't like how Angie just all of a sudden fell in love with her, either. If I couldn't be a bitch to Miss Pretty Woman, I kinda enjoyed living vicariously through Angie's bitch-ocity. It's not that I don't like Randi... it's just that I don't like her. The only use I have for her is that she's the tool to get Cornelius Smith, Jr. shirtless.

I did, however, enjoy Zach mentioning that technically it's Ryan and his big mouth that set up the chain of events that killed Greenlee.

It will justify the absurdity of Ryan blaming Zach. If Zach says "Yes, I killed Greenlee," then Ryan will feel vindicated -- because, deep down, he knows he's the one who put the chain of events into motion. Greenlee would never have been on the road that night if Ryan didn't not only run his mouth about, but EMBELLISH The Kiss.

Ryan's really transparent. Saran wrap is harder to see through than this idiot. He feels extraordinarily guilty about his involvement in the whole Death of Greenlee scandal, that he feels if he blames someone he hates, rather than himself or Kendall, it will be easier. He doesn't want to burden Kendall with the guilt because Ryan's already been through the dead wife/ruined marriage routine before. He knows that as soon as his wife is no longer a viable option, he walks around town with his penis hanging out looking for grief sex. Why alienate the only woman that would give it to him?

This reminds me... I just realized how disappoint this all turned out. The promo surrounding Greenlee's death made it seem like some epic tale was about to unfold... and it hasn't. All we've been witnessing is Ryan doing his hoarse whispering all around town.

Wouldn't it be great if Greenlee was alive and decided to pretend she was dead so she'd never have to be around Ryan, Kendall, or Zach ever again? She can still talk to Jack, none of them care about him anyway, they'd never know.

Isn't he, though? And it doesn't help matters that he's played by such a limited (to be kind) actor. Cameron and Aiden have probably the most unexpressive eyes/faces on this show. It's a sad thing to say that even Brianne Moncrief has a more expressive face than these two. Yet, they're thrown story after story, love interest after love interest... while Cornelius Smith, Jr. and Daniel Kennedy are saddled with two of the most limited actresses on this show in Denise Vasi and Moncrief.

I mean, seriously. Aidan gets coldcocked and falls to the floor... gets up and acts like he wasn't even fazed by it.

Anyway, I enjoy watching TK eat CM up in these lame ass confrontation scenes with Ryan and Zach. And that's coming from me... who can't stand either Zach or Ryan.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
