I really appreciated all the movement in today's episode. It resonated with me that it felt like the sort of nervous energy that can surround a family after death.
I want to point out the EJ scene. I was riveted by his multi-layered performance. When he told Belle that he went to her because he loved her, and then saw that she was embarrassed by him, and rejected the part of her that was attracted to him. It started to make even more sense why he would try to protect Johnny (who I still don't think shot him).
EJ feels like a pariah (although TBH, it wouldn't have hurt to bring Marlena some of that tea that everyone had been promising her all morning). And he doesn't want to pass that along to his son by exposing him as the shooter. It is interesting that we see none of those same concern between Kristen and lil'Rachel.
-- What a stupid party. Devon and Abby leave while Victor goes upstairs to the GCAC bar and talks with Kyle. Then we see Jack giving Nikki ANOTHER birthday toast as if the party has just begun. Huh???
-- This party perfectly encapsulates sweeps month for this show: lame, deadly, boring af.
-- Once again, Cole gets really sick and no one insists on an ambulance or the ER. They really want him dead, don't they? Instead we hear multiple characters say "Gee, I hope Victoria doesn't catch it." Cole will be dead before Dumas.
-- Kyle is really offering to make a contract with Victor so he can continue to see Claire? Jesus Wept.
-- And then the shoe ends with Victor praising Nikki for softening his heart over the years -- after we've seen him treat Kyle, Michael, and Jack like sh_it for days.
It is 4 feet!!!

Today, GH, I am amazed. #1 Up from #2 on Saturday, which was up from #4 during the week last week.
Watched Mondays episode, wow! That’s all I have to say. It was heartbreaking to watch. You really don’t know how invested you are in these characters until moments like this. Deidre was absolutely phenomenal in that whole episode, as I am sure she will be in the coming weeks. I was a bit torn about having Bo and Hope being the contrast in this episode, but I understand why they did it. And when Bo woke up and said fancy face to Hope, it broke me even more! Honestly, there are no more words except bravo to everyone involved and RIP to the greatest hero that ever existed in soaps John Black
