Yesterday's episode could be BTG's Emmy submission. Having said that, hopefully the story will start to wind down to a resolution, it's getting harder to watch Anita in constant anguish. Sometimes you have to straddle the line between realistic storytelling and remembering that entertainment is also central to a television series.
Now if only the other stories had this much attention to detail in the narrative.
This being a soap opera, I expect couples (even exes) to be on the merry-go-round but I am seeing signs that Nicole might take a spin faster than Dani. I see how she interacts with Ted when Shanice is there: Nicole always seems to interject with some anecdote about her and Ted when Shanice and Ted are talking. Nicole did this when she noticed that Ted sent Shanice flowers, she mentioned, in front of Shanice, how Ted used to send her flowers, she did this again yesterday when Ted and Shanice were discussing her getaway...'playfully' chiding Ted over wanting to go camping, suggesting that Ted used to do the same with her. And these are not isolated incidents. It almost seems like Nicole is marking Ted somehow. Very interesting, also how she had Ted in mind to share the news of Anita not signing the DNR (did Ted even know about the DNR) rather than, say, Carlton.
In terms of today's episode, it was nice to see Peaches out of the hospital. Leslie shows a softer side but I still find her insufferable. Unless we're going to see the statues of Idris Elba, Shemar Moore and Morris Chesnut (which would be hilarious) I don't need to hear about the details. The next case that Jacob needs to work on and solve, is the Laura Peterson case.
