"A vulture circling for carrion..."

I can't believe it's already February 1993... how time flies! I think I'm only a few episodes away from when Robin Strasser returns to the show. I'm keeping it a secret from myself and won't look up the exact airdate, even though I used to know it or read about it. I've forgotten it, which is actually better because it keeps me in suspense.

Our very own Anna Karenina is going through a tough new chapter in her self-created drama. The tables are turning on her. Did she expect that Clint would just hang around waiting for her when she takes her time choosing who she wants (while sucking on Sloan's face every single day), but I’m sorry, sweetheart - that’s not how reality works. Clint is starting to pull away, he’s asking questions in a colder, more business-like manner. "What are we doing?" "When is this going to end?" now feel like a task he wants to finish instead of the pain we felt at the beginning. And throw the little conniver Lindsay into the mix, and you’ve got a classic scenario. Now Anna Karenina-Buchanan is NOT so sure if she wants to hand Clint over to another woman. Her pride can’t handle the thought of being replaced, whether it’s by Lindsay or someone else. She wants to have her cake and eat it too.

Cord is back. The way they built up to this was just ridiculous, I can't even call it a build-up. It was max 3-4 episodes of hints (and an absurd scene with an OUIJA board), and then he just showed up at the door. Now... let me take this down piece by piece. Clint's reaction was totally wrong. He didn't even cry or shed a single tear, his shock was way less than when he saw Viki hugging Sloan for example. Some could say - that's how shock works, but it didn't read well. It was just a poorly executed scene. A dead son comes back, and two minutes later, they're chatting like he never left. In contrast, Viki's reaction was true and believable, Erika Slezak turned mediocre material into gold again. Her acting choice was spot on for the situation.

Cord's already talking about Tina as if she's still the same boring housewife waiting to bake him a lemon pie in the kitchen. (Surprise, Cord... we now have LUNA in that role!) Apparently he was in a labor camp, (which is a better excuse than Sarah held in a cabin by her kidnappers in the mafia for years without being killed, like she was the lost Romanov daughter) looking for his wife, completely unaware that she is actually having a good old orgasm in an Atlantic city hotel room. I can't wait to see how he reacts. Cord was a bit controlling and totalitarian in his approach to Tina, but he's better for her than that parasite Cain. The writers completely dropped the ball on Tina's role as a mother. For the past year, we barely have seen these kids. They basically erased that part of her. It would be interesting if Cord could comment on that - how she is not spending any time with them anymore and is neglecting them for Cain.

Jason and Leanne have officially broken up. Initially, Jason went to see Leanne to cancel their wedding. He did this because Kevin gave him an ultimatum. In a way, he was trying once again to protect Leanne, but she was too stupid to realize it. And then, while bickering, Leanne finally revealed her true nature to him - she began to blame him for all her problems. SHE HAD THE NERVE to do that. She even mentioned that he can't read better than a 2 year old. THAT GUY WORKED 5 JOBS FOR HER. He went to jail for her. What an ungrateful BITCH. I hope Rachel and Kevin raise her child. In the end, Jason told her something we've all been thinking - YOU RUINED MY LIFE. And left her. I still think they are breaking them up too fast, but at least they gave Jason his backbone back. It was about time he stopped humiliating himself for this woman. She's only pretty and nothing else.

Finally... Luna is showing a hint of pride. She left Max a note saying she's going away, in the process breaking his son's heart. They are exploiting the little boy's sorrow to evoke sympathy for Max, but I refuse to be deceived by that. Max deserves to be dumped, yet I doubt Luna will truly follow through. She'll return. She always does. This sad excuse for a relationship will continue.

Aaaand I almost forgot - Asa and Renee seem to be... maybe... getting back together. Hmmm.
Overall - 6/10 - BTW, talking about Josh Griffith - I notice the scenes are getting shorter and shorter lately.

Clip of the day
Lindsay (that's her name, I first heard Clint calling her Lizzie and thought she was called Elizabeth, but I think Lindsay fits her better) vs VIKI
