I’m interpreting Martin as another sleazy politician - his motive in coming down hard on Kat to donate to Eva is/was driven first and foremost by public family reputation and how it would look if a member of his family was a match and didn’t agree to donate. Otherwise, he wouldn’t really have cared. But the writing doesn’t isn’t directly implying this either.
I think the show is so obsessed with making the Duprees look good and be “right” all the time that they mostly come off as super sanctimonious and quite unlikable (Martin being no exception). I don’t think this is totally by design, unfortunately, though I do wonder if it’s partly to appease any guidance from the NAACP. Like, maybe they would be upset about members of the core family being inherently more gray or directly unlikable?
They got a ratings boost from the Y&R crossover, and the stuff with Eva has been good, but as Agnes Nixon told Michael Malone after Megan’s death on OLTL, “what’s next?!” Not sure I even honestly care that much about Bill/Dani/Andre tbh. I need this week and July to maintain a certain momentum that’s been missing for a long time, so hoping that happens.
