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.

    • 6-6   Hmmmm. Not my favorite of the week. However, it showed the strength of Jazmen's script writing against RC's breakdown. And he's good enough to rise above almost all of RC's tics. Though I guess the real question would be would I have caught 'Carl' author thing if I had not heard it mentioned here?

      I felt the stories moved and while there were situations, they weren't the slapsticky I would expect from a RC breakdown. Well-done, Jazmen.   I guess I liked it on a second viewing. I'm just sorry that outside of Bill's subplot and Chelesa's love life C plot, it did not continue the majority of the stories that were going on this week. I still liked what I got so I guess it was worth it for potential flow interruption. Though I have to note that Eva and Kat have been dancing around each other all week and since it is a by-product of the SilkPress storyline, I love how the story can be used separate from the main part of that plot, which kept this episode with a thread attached to the main stories of this week.   It has been a minute since I saw a situation where a character has to get into someone's room and it seems plausible. Of course, Kat has to use her family name. That said...those scenes did not seem implausible at all, but that could be my industry experience showing. Meanwhile, Eva and Tomas continue to grow closer. But even I had to side-eye when he finally declared his interest for Kat. Because it seem like he had been working hard to give mixed signals to Eva and Kat. And NOW he's devoted to Kat? And I am smh at Kat thinking Eva is the one who ran Laura off the road now. Just le sigh. BUT keeps their rivalry going if she accuses Eva and it turns out to be false. Eva will be looking for the payback. And she will be justified.   I know I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed the Doug/Vanessa/Joey scenes. I've mentioned it before, but of all the B stories, it was the only one that was given enough room to grow and had a build to it. And you could cut the tension in that room with a knife. Everyone gave a good performance. You could see the distance between Doug and Vanessa. And for all that drama...there still was more to play with the other shoe dropping of Doug finding out Vanessa and Joey slept together. Just juicy. Even if the end goal apparently seems to be money laundering.   Lord...Bill wasn't really even out of the hospital for an episode without having to go back in again, was he? lol. Good to see his separate story progressing.    Same for Chelesa and her love life. I'm not sure if Naomi is right. That said, I do like the cliffhanger of Mystery Woman being Bill's doctor. Not to mention Kat with the evidence. 
    • Speaking of 1986, YT recommended me some 1986 episodes revolving around Kyle/Reva/Maeve/Fletcher/Cain. What struck me most about the episodes is Zimmer seems at a loss. This does not feel like Reva at all. Was Kyle always such an a-hole? Why was the pairing so popular? He's so unlikeable, and Malloy's theatrical acting does not help matters. Jay Hammer is extremely charming as Fletcher--did they ever try Reva and Fletcher? The real star of these episodes is Leslie Denniston. When she tells Kyle she wants a divorce, it's a fantastic scene and Denniston is putting in some great work while the stuff around her is just weird and off-putting. 
    • The Day Of The Jackal author Frederick Forsyth dies
    • 6-5   Case in point...lol.   Kat and Jacob can soooo have a spinoff. Just watching her being adamant that Eva is up to no-good while Jacob continues to try to play straight man to the craziness continued to be a hoot to watch. And the sad part is that Kat is on the right trail, just following the wrong clues. Or worse coming to the wrong conclusion. All because of her dislike for Eva.    Meanwhile, Eva continued to make inroads. I know I have said this since the start of the show, but I love how for the most part, the writers write the characters in gray. Not completely white. Not completely black. Most of the characters have moments where they resonate with the audience and then have moments where they are unlikeable. Like technically, Eva should be a pariah. I like that she knows this, understands this, and still shows remorse and still tries to work to get back the lost trust. It makes her so rootable. And played by a star is a bonus.

       It is also what makes the rivalry between Eva and Kat so much fun to watch. Also played by a star. Neither one is perfect really, but they are oh so watchable and a nice by-product of the SilkPress storyline.    Same for Anita. I love the regal coldness TT has given to the role. The sense of ruthlessness beneath the beautiful face. And yeah it can be a turn-off. And it's been nice to see a softer side to her throughout this story of her and her bandmates. She is far from perfect. She...is also NOT a doormat so it was great to watch her versus her bandmates this episode.    I like the run-in between NuTed and Nicole. I'm getting used to NuTed. And Nicole's presence has been a little too light for my liking. I can only assume that is to build to the next Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila confrontation which rumor has it will be another good one.    Speaking of which...LAURA IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!! Praise it be!!! And I thought it was so adorable that Nicole, Kat, and Mona were on hand to welcome her back. I liked that Laura has an open mind toward Eva (unlike her feelings toward SilkPress). Another layer to add to the Eva vs Kat rivalry.
