Monique already came out earlier and said Wendy is flip-floppy @DaytimeFan

 

Monique said in an interview that Wendy text and called her after the incident with Candaice and was saying on the phone that back then she was known for being a firecracker too. 

 

I believe Monique. 

 

We all saw that side of Wendy when she was calling Ashley all types of b*tches at the table. 

 

And when Wendy said that verbal and physical abuse aren't the same...

. Clown. Wendy is a clown. Abuse is abuse no matter how it is done.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!! The tea that Monique gave out tonight on WWHL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Apparently Monique has the tea on Gizelle and Mr. Chocolate and plans on exposing ALL OF IT at the reunion. And as backup...she already forwarded to Andy Cohen either tonight or some time within the last year or so. 

 

Ooooooooooooooo....MESS.

 

And I am going to go ahead and be #TeamPorsha since she will be having Monique's back tonight on her show with Gizelle. Since if anyone knows how Monique would feel...it would be her. 

 

ETA: There IS  a part of the fight that did not air Monique revealed tonight involving why she ran after Candiace that night (but Twitter mentioned), but Bravo is holding that apparently until the reunion as well allegedly.  So...the reunion is going to be LIT.

I saw that today and felt the same. #TeamMonique

 

But...what does one expose from Doctor Wendy when she is Candiace's BFF?

I agree with everyone about one thing: The RHOP episode was fantastic. IT was probably the best single HW ep. I've seen in a long time. It's second season of RHOBH quality.  I don't agree with everyone about anything else. The fact that Monique blacked out is scary, and that she still doesn't really take accountability is troubling to me. I'm sorry. I'm not of the "beat her ass" school when someone acts like a spoiled brat in front of someone. Are we now going to need a referee for the shows? IS it now going to be okay to punch a fellow housewife when they get "mouthy?" I find that such a scary attitude especially where we are at in the world. The world has gone mad, and I don't want to see housewives duking it out.

 

As the show clearly laid out, Candaice had been trying to deal with Monique in a straightforward way, but Monique was the one causing problems and looking for a fight. I'm sure it had more to do with off-camera stuff because I could not understand Monique's hostility. I also find Monique's running after her to be beyond the pale. I'm not a Candaice fan especially after her homophobic comments were revealed, but Monique needs serious therapy.. 

 

I'm not a Karen fan, but I thought she was fine. I thought Wendy made the most sense, and she was talking sense that Monique just didn't want to listen to. However, I will take Gizelle over KAren any day. She makes this show: bringing the bodyguard, the notes, connecting Monique's past (so she can help editors), walking off, etc. Gizelle is truly the star of the show. She's what Kyle aspires to be, but will never be.

Well...let's see how well this goes. HIGH Wine night. lol. Early apologies for the sentence structure.

 

But after two showings, it has definitely been an absorbing episode. I can see why you all loved it. I agree. There are so many layers to this episode and watching it has been interesting BOTH times. I think for me where my opinion has differ has been that people were willing to listen. I definitely think Monique handled it well, but I felt like Robyn, Dr. Wendy, and Gizelle already had their minds made up before they made it to Karen. They simply wanted to be in on the tea or were looking for their moment. (c) Kenya Moore. Which btw Gizelle...you're not flawless like her. HAHAHAHA!!!! And Karen just said what I said...Gizelle already had her mind made up. 

 

It's interesting to watch this now in light to the fact this was filmed a year ago. And knowing that the dynamic shift is STILL very much in effect today.

 

MONIQUE. I felt that Monique kept it completely real. What the other girls appeared to act like they don't remember was that this fight was only DAYS ago. No one has a right to say how long it should take Monique to process that. Even now I feel Monique is explaining herself clearly and as best she can and all Robyn, Wendy, and 'Last Lady' (if you watched WWHL, you get the reference) want to do is drag her down. There's holding her accountable and there's just kicking someone when they are clearly down...that's not what those three were doing. There have been times I have done something and been remorseful and been accused of not being that just because I am I am not a sobbing mess. Embarrassed? Maybe. Remorseful given my ethics? For sure. But I have OWNED that. I felt that unlike Candiace (right now) Monique even now was owning it. And going forward, she wants to do better. Her journey moving forward will be the interesting one for sure just given what we know as viewers and what we know of the world in terms of how black people (and women) are proceeded. I was sad that Monique was willing completely to leave the group to make everyone happy.

 

KAREN. God, she is going through it. And I could see it. Your two close friends falling out and trying to stay neutral. Understandable. And Candiace is already trying to make her choose. And I love that Karen has enough backbone to be...I am here for both of you, but don't try me. lol.  And as usual, she saw through Gizelle easily. She also got Robyn together quickly when she wanted to shame Karen for having Monique's back. But at the same time, she did hold Monique accountable. And she did it all with grace. She even treated the bodyguard well while making sure he knew he was not part of this conversation whether he was there or not. 

 

GIZELLE. Four years. You worked on that speech for four years and it STILL fell flat. I liked that Monique saw you for what you were in that speech, saw you were trying for a moment, and dismissed you easily with no fandom. LOL!!! And then she talked about image. You? Image? When you are dating MR. CHOCOLATE???  No wonder Twitter is dragging you. And to add on that...not that you done PO Monique, Monique is about to air you out to dry at the reunion per her revelations on WWHL and I AM HERE FOR THAT. 

 

ROBYN. You have no horse in this race. NONE given you got in Ashley's face at Oz. You got in front of an umbrella after that. And that does not even begin to touch on what you said at the Season 1 reunion, mini-Nene. There were so many times I said STFU in regards to you, but

WENDY. In light of Monique's interview today...yeeeeeeah I am kinda over her now. While it was expected that Wendy would have Candiace's back since she is Candiace's BFF, given she was the one taking Candiace's knives away pre-fight, I would think she would see and understand where Candiace was wrong in the fight as well. And mentioning her hs experience should give her some empathy for Monique, but I saw none of that. 

 

ASHLEY. Barring that promo showing Ashley turning on Karen which hopefully is just misdirection, I continue to love she has Monique's back and was willing to give the benefit of the doubt. And her expressions were EVERYTHING tonight. She knew how crazy Candiace could be and some of those looks were 'yeah...I see why you drag her, girl.'

 

CANDIACE. I don't like that she didn't own her part in the fight. Even when the therapist was slightly pushing her to see where she was wrong. Heck, she lied a bit. So she loses face in my book during a season where she was making so much redemptive ground after how she was last season as Ashley 2.0. 

 

Great episode. Great WWHL tonight with Andy thinking he was going to pull a Denise Richards on Monique only to have her turn the tables on him and spill so much tea...which probably means if he tries to control the narrative...she ALSO has proof she can use on him...this year's reunion will be LIT and I expect Monique 1) will own her actions, but 2) will be dragging EVERYONE who does not. 

 

TRUST.

I don’t see how Candiace can be crying victim with those stupid squares of tissue that she she uses to dab the tiny amount of tears she manages to conjure up.

She totally brought the fight on by running her big mouth over and over asking Monique to drag her. I see in the previews she calls her mean mommy that she wants freedom from to rescue her. She’s absolutely disgusting. If anything I fault her more than Monique. Monique was reacting. Was she wrong? Yes but.

Gutter trash. 

 

POTOMAC: Wow, that was a ride! Definitely one of the all-time best episodes of any franchise. Right up there with Scary Island. 

 

I *loved* that piping hot tea Monique spilled on WWHL. So direct and matter-of-fact. You know she has ALL those receipts lined up and ready to dish out when the time is right come reunion time. From Gizelle's 8-year affair to the Candaice/Charrisse/Gizelle plan to say her child was the product of an affair with her trainer... it's all coming out and I can't wait to see it play out. Wow. 

 

Kudos to Karen and Ashley for having Monique's back. 

 

Side Note:  I can see this being Monique's exit, by her own choice. Set it on fire and walk away as it burns down...

If Gizelle, Wendy and Robyn had their minds up, can't we say the same about Ashley and Karen? I thought Robyn and Wendy made excellent points. Blacking out, having to be restrained in a stairwell, and then running to attack the person??? That is some serious stuff, and as I've said, I find it frightening that so many people think it's perfectly acceptable. I was not here for Rinna throwing the glass and trying to strangle Kim (and I can't stand Kim) and I'm not here for Monique until she goes through anger management. 

 

Tamra must be cackling to herself every day. Kelly is a prime example of why you don't need to raise your hands to someone. In most cases, these housewives ALWAYS reveal themselves. They always stumble when they think they are the HBIC. They always go one step too far, and then the truth comes out.

And if Monique has shown anything by her IG LIVE...she has ALL THE RECEIPTS.  And has no problem binding her time to get them together for Show and Tell.

 

So...if he knows what's good for him...Andy better not try to play favorites.

ETA: Well, Monique has definitely said if she left it will be by choice. She also has said she would stay to spite them Green Eyes. lol. so I guess we will see.

 

I don't think anyone is making light of how serious it is. And it would be one thing if they were showing some compassion or even true empathy. Emphasis on TRUE.

 

Karen just brought up what was already there. Gizelle had made up her mind. She had never forgave Monique for 'I have four homes'...or Kendall not that that was Monique's fault cuz it was Charisse...who admitted it to Giz's face. She was about a moment...not what are we going to do with this woman. And Robyn goes where Gizelle goes. The blog talk is irrelevant. We are here about how to help this woman who made a big mistake that she at least was owning. Whether she needs prayer, anger management which she was up for if I remember correctly, therapy like Candiace, or something else, they were determined to be a certain way. A person can be held accountable and still showed compassion. It is not either/or.  Especially when the person explained themselves versus 'I'm going to do what I want, blah, blah, forget you.' Given her history as well, Monique has earned the benefit of the doubt...if not with Wendy, then for sure with Robyn. It's why she has that with Ashley and Karen who both have had their moments on the show.

 

Not sure about Wendy, but even if (okay when) Monique goes to work on bettering herself, my point is that the Green-Eyed Bandits would STILL find some kind of fault just to dislike her. For me, watching that's why I said they made up their minds. And they should own that for what it is. JEALOUSY. For Wendy, I felt it was more being Candiace's BFF.

 

Not that bad points weren't made. They were good points. However, they do not appear (especially Gizelle) to be coming from a good place. 

 

As for Kelly Dodd...well, we here are going on two years now saying all that. She's not an OG, but Bravo wants to tighten their money belt and have had no problem letting Housewives hang themselves in public. And at this point she is just trash and do need to go.

 

Now if they would do the same with Jax and the rest of those having the 'pregnancy' pact over on VPR...

Re: Denise F**king Richards gif for Monique's receipts. Yep! And we know Monique's delivery will be eons better than Denise's reunion performance. 

 

WORD to the part in bold. And as I said last week, my husband has made immense progress in his own therapy for dealing with anger issues. Has hubby lashed out? Absolutely. Does he regret his actions? Absolutely. Does he still have moments where he WANTS to get physical? Absolutely. Does he? Absolutely not. 

 

HOWEVER... hubby was literally having a trigger moment watching Potomac last night and seeing this narrative of Candiace trying to paint herself as this innocent victim. It is something that my hubby's former friend did in order to make herself look innocent without fault, while making my hubby look like a typical angry black man. I had to quickly diffuse the situation and not let REAL television affect REAL life. No, he didn't pop off, but you could tell he wanted to take a break from watching to let out a mini vent. It hits close to home for him.

Hahahaha. Going by what very little tea has been spilled...I love that production knows how to keep so much under wraps like I don't even think you can find the original posts about the Michael vs Chris fight now. They are that good. I told my cousin if we thought the Season 4 reunion was crazy, this upcoming one was going to be LIT. And if Monique is right about how the rest of this season should be showing her recovery from the fight, I bet she will be on better standing by the time the reunion is showed to the audience. And for her, not only will it be about her taking accountability, but also setting the record straight on any inconsistencies (why are you friends with Gizelle again?) shown during the season. Should be fun.

I am sorry to hear that about your hubby. Trigger moments are the worst.

I do think people are making light of what Monique did. I've read endless "I hope she got Candaice good," "Candaice deserved a whipping," "Keep it up Monique! Punch Gizelle!" I found that mindset deeply troubling. I think some people are excusing Monique because of who she attacked. If it had been Karen, would people be so quick to excuse her actions?? I know I'm in a losing battle with this point since most of the people on this board are pro-Monique, but I think what Monique did was horrible. When you are so angry that you black out, have to be restrained, and then run off to kill someone, you need serious help. In real life, I would never feel safe around someone like that. KAren and Ashley were always going to side with Monique and Gizelle and Robin were going to side against Monique. I don't see why one standpoint is more troubling than the other.

 

I'm not a Candaice fan, so this isn't about her at all. I look sideways at her since the tweets, but if Denise could keep her cool and not punch anyone in the coven, Monique could restrain herself. Am I wrong, or wasn't Monique in a drunk driving incident and it was reported that she had lied about it? Or was it another Potomac housewife? Now we know Monique lied about giving the information to the blogs. I also think anything Monique brings to the reunion about JAmal is going to be redundant. We all know he's scum. Nothing could be as devastating as what Gizelle's father said.

On that we are going to have to agree to disagree. While I've seen what you seen in terms of people's opinions on Monique, most of the tweets have gone on to say why whether it's a generational thing of old school of 'don't start none, won't be none', the position of 'who hasn't', or the position of 'it's a show so drama, and yes, I liked it BUT guess what...Monique was still wrong.' Joking as coping mechanism yeah. But not lightly. Given we live in a world of rugby, UFC, and football so these things still happen. People are called out. People sometimes are punished. But people usually are held accountable for it. I feel people would still be the same way if it was Karen. HOWEVER, since I also feel it is a generational thing Monique probably would not go there with Karen due to the old school 'respect your elders' school of thought. Even during the fight...with all that security...Karen was the one who got through to Monique. In her blackout condition she could have easily accidentally attacked any one there. (one of the points brought up last night). But...she didn't. And this is where (the other point) Wendy's point that she was trying to mention last night comes into play...Monique had some kind of coherence to know some of what was going on. A start. To recovery. Now why? Most of us kinda know what started it by this point. So no need to talk there. 

 

Now a Monique fan does not instantly make one a Candiace hater. I know I've mentioned since the season started that Candiace appeared to be on a redemptive arc this season after being Ashley 2.0 last season. A lot of people here have been very adamant that they were both at fault in the fight. And both appear to be seeking or about to be seeking help for that. Again, I can understand why you personally would not feel safe after that. That is a valid point to bring up. And it was brought up. But again...I feel you are being genuine. I cannot say that for some of Monique's cast members and have expressed why. 

 

You're not wrong. Monique was in a drunk driving incident. It has been a minute so my memories might be foggy, but that was the source of drama between her and Ashley for a good minute due to Ashley being Ashley if I remember correctly saying she had more to drink than she had. I believe after some back and forth, Monique owned that as well. They didn't get along for a bit and now they do. Progress. 

 

Perhaps it's not so much about what Mr. Chocolate is but what Gizelle pretends to be.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
