The beauty of this confrontation between KL's Abby and Val is that, when you really think about it, neither woman is all that wrong.

And this sequence features (IMO) some of the best acting in Donna Mills' entire career:

Julie Harris will always be a national treasure.  And she never should have been written off KL.

@Khan I love all those Abby/Knots scenes. I was trying to find the "Abby scale" scene, which is one of my favorite scenes with her, but don't know where it is. Around 5 minutes in this does have a good Abby/Paige scene - LML and Lechowick didn't bother to hide their preferences in this rivalry, but I'm glad that Abby still got to have the last word.

Moniz was fabulous- and when she unraveled it was amazing.  My family’s favorite Dinah also.  It’s not on YouTube anymore I don’t think but there were scenes of her and Cassie going at it (Laura Wright) and also Dinah and her mother Vanessa where she implies she slept with Matt.

I thought Moniz struggled for years but was at home with the bitchy, vulnerable, unhinged Dinah of 98-99. Rauch made a lot of mistakes but he got that one right. Even the "scar" story, which often amounted to poor Moniz having to hold a napkin to her cheek, worked.

“Do your biological twitchings in HIS bedroom!” India spitting all kinds of venom in Reva’s direction. So many great lines, and I love the way MKA says “blessings.”

I wish I could have watched the great confrontations between Bev’s Alex and MKA’s India live. Such great hate chemistry. Their scene starts at 6:35.

Sheila trying to drown Stephanie on B&B. I wasn’t a viewer of B&B until too late, but I love how KB went toe to toe with La Flannery.

@Faulkner thank you for posting that Reva and India clip. I've watched so little of that period. Mary Kay Adams is absolutely riveting to watch - she takes those delicious lines for all they're worth and slowly builds India up to a woman possessed with rage and horrible insecurity. And Zimmer (who, other than her hair being too fried, always suited that era of style more than the '90s I think) underplays the whole thing to achieve the perfect balance. MKA is just so incredible. You can see why a character who on paper was always a bit thin managed to stay around.

    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.   
    • Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.
    • I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react.
