Oh my! Jason choose Tracy (well Monica really) over Sonny regarding the kids - and she hugged him and he actually reciprocated. And Tracy's appeals really did win him over too, judging by the way they were staring into each other's eyes towards the end.

And then of course poor Sonny's having heart palpitations outside after leaving.

Of course, Sonny's scenes with Tracy before Jason arrived were also good too.

On the other side of town unfortunately Joss has blown it already, having - as Anna said - tipped off Cyrus to where he should cover his tracks.

I liked the scenes between Drew and Alexis regarding Scout

Felicia had plenty to do, firstly trying to calm Carly and Jason down and later with Emma at the bar.

The bar scenes were ok too, though I'm annoyed Cody lost all of his money, he really shouldn't have been so stupid.

And I enjoyed the Liz/Lucky scenes, first with Cyrus and later on their own.

Jason has evolved a bit over the last few years since his return in the late 2010s re: the Qs, largely IMO because the show was trying to compensate for Billy Miller's NuJason/Drew being much closer to them and to Monica than the genuine article was and they wanted to make Steve look good too (which is why they also tried to graft the Drew/Jake relationship onto him, which never quite worked). But this is a big step and Steve did bring it.

I think the roots of it, though, are in the scenes in the 2000s that Jason had after Alan and A.J.'s deaths where he apologized to both of them for his choices and mistakes. I think he even told A.J. (who was 'dead,' naturally) that he'd been wrong to take Michael from him. He was emotional at those times and again now. It's not about to make me care much for Jason, but he has changed minutely more and more over time for various reasons both in story and BTS.

"Kai's not getting up! Kai's not getting up!"

On an episode with a sea of really good scenes, that was SO bad. None of the football stuff is working. Trina going to the game to watch Kai? Of course not -- she's in a booth at the bar with Gio, who has his back turned to the TV.

And don't get me started on the left turn (ANOTHER one) to Cody's character, writing him without any of the common sense they've spent the last year giving him.

    • I love this more than any theory I've seen yet
    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
    • If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.
