You have a point, but at the root of it, I mean Matthew getting to be with a youngster that the show deems front burner worthy. He deserves it more than any Ford boy.

dragonflies, I keep thinking that's Nolan Miller in your avatar.

Days like today make me wonder how fast they have to churn these out for budget reasons. That Dorian and Cutter scene was so phoned in you could replace Josh and Robin with One Ringy Dingy and Two Ringy Dingy.

Not a Rex fan except for his sibling relationship with Natalie but #1) Rex didn't tell about Clint's imprisoning of David because he was afraid of being sent to jail himself and what that would mean to his family. and #2) Bo hasn't cared a whit about David since he discovered he was his son. He's barely tolerated him. Not believing Bo's sudden paternal instincts.

Exactly. I do NOT like Rex, but I feel bad for him (it doesn't help that he seems to underplay the severity of the threat Clint placed on him though). Bo really should be more understanding, this feels over the top.

I think I would take the plot more seriously if we hadn't seen that David's Moroccon prison feels like a Disneyland ride with worse comedy animatronic guards.

YAWN to the rest (though Todd breaking through the cabin door did make me think he'd be a good Jason in the next Friday the 13th movie... If only he had brought an axe)

I don't believe Bo's paternal instincts either but I don't think Bo would have wanted David to rot in jail for months.

Rex could have told months ago but took hush money for Gigi.

That was his choice, and that's fine, but that means he should not be insta-forgiven and he should not be treated as a good person and a moral voice, which he is, over and over again.

I'm just tired of the show trying to con viewers into feeling sympathy for these characters who do whatever they want and never pay for it.

How come this whole week we've had more obvious, and clumsy, dialogue recap than we've had in a LONG time? Do they think these stories right now are particularly hard to follow?

No but it was more than Gigi, he threatened his family (vaguely) and said he would go to jail. I don't think he should be forgiven, but I don't buy Bo being so completely non understanding. And it's not like Bo made any effort to find David or see if he was ok or anything...

Need for cash? Clint threatened his family and threatened to send him to prison with trumped up charges of corporate espionage. I can see why Rex kept quiet. Plus its David Vickers. Who really cares about him. I didnt get this great sense of love for the guy from Bo whcih made his attitude feel even more extreeme

You are making it all about money ignoring the fact that he was threatened with jail time. He wasnt simply paid off; he was blackmailed

He took money for Gigi. If he was that outraged he wouldn't have. It was hush money.

Yes, it was just David Vickers, but since Bo already lost one son, and has no relationship with Matthew, he would still want David to be freed from prison.

I hate David so this isn't about David for me. It's about Rex doing whatever he wants, as usual, and being written as a victim.

again ignoring the prison threat, which was a big part of why he was scared into doing what he did. Besides he did NOT take hush money for Gigi. That money was already hers. She got the grant BEFORE any of this and Clint used his connections to get it revoked. Clint just gave her back what was already awarded to her. You make it sound like Clint handed Rex a check to cover Gigi's expenses. Its like someone taking my paid tuition away and then blackmailing me, so that I can get it back. Its already mine
