No it was Hubbard. It was in the episode last week where Jesse/Angie saw Liza/David at the Yacht club. Jesse was standing with Liza when he said "Dr. David Hubbard"

ITA...it has been so much better. She has been looking so good. IDK what the heck was going on back in February when she was first on, looking so dreck at first...LOL. Glad AMC got that settled, she has been looking really good lately!

I know about David Hubbard, but still. WTF happened with the mugger thing? I came into this episode when Scott arrived. I don't get it.

I guess I didn't notice the mugger flub...

But that David Hubbard thing seriously had me rewinding to figure out if I heard that correctly. I can't believe he said that and the line made it through...

Freudian slip? Maybe Jesse knows something we don't, lol.

The mugger scene flaked me out. I crave any scene on soaps where a woman fights back and that one was poorly done. On the upside, MCE was very good in it (I've noticed most soap actresses suck at anything resembling action) then Scott came running acting like Captain Kirk.

I loved Erica in this episode.

I saw that there's a pic of Eden Riegel in Jackson's office. I wonder if that'll get removed in the coming weeks.

As I explained in another post, I have just started watching AMC again and am waiting a few days before doing most of my research into all the newer characters and recent developments to see what my first impressions are. This is the 2nd episode I watched and I thought it was solid. I'm still hooked and still plan to keep watching. I'm a couple episodes behind now but intend to catch up. However, since I am a newbie, even when I catch up I won't be posting until a few days after in each thread, since my contributions will be less informed and less valuable, and I don't want to disturb established viewers' conversation for a few weeks at least.

Things I liked from this episode were:

- Greenlee is still the Greenlee I remember. Not letting Erica get in her way, not collapsing into self-pity over a setback but vowing to fight back!

- Scott making fun of Annie's over-dramatic stuff with lines like how she should get best supporting actress in her own drama and to cut out stuff like "knight in shining armor"

- David and Erica interaction, David sticking up for Greenlee to Erica

- Greenlee telling Jackson he won't be able to be neutral between her and Erica without complications

- Erica turning her stealing a file from Jackson around and blaming it all on Greenlee. Don't know who is really more in the wrong here but that is hilarious self-justification nonetheless, reminds me of Erica saying Frankie threw herself (Frankie) in front of Erica's car when I was watching (which turned out to be true!)

- Seeing two sides of JR. A guilty, noble side with Marissa, and then a shouty, bossy side with Scott and Annie.

- The Chandler tension between the cousins JR and Scott. Family scenes always grip me.

Sadly, however, after being really intrigued from the previous episode, I am finding the Madison scheme more of a letdown now. All she is doing is pretending to be needy so she can lure Ryan away from possibly going after Greenlee? Seems kind of ho hum. I probably won't be interested till she reveals what she plans to do to turn the tables on David.
