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.

    • Your haughtiness amuses me in return. Like you think you know ALL?
    • I've seen this error before. I think it should be okay in the future.

    • Ted has been icky and giving off bad guy vibe from the first moment I saw him. I have a sensor for that and it was beeping! So...don't put all the blame on Silkpress. The woman needs a good psychiatrist, true... but Leslie is just one of the skeletons in HIS closet. Ted is even a bigger monster, because he's hidden.  IT WAS A PERFECT REVEAL. Perfect, because in the beginning of the show... Dani was envying her sister's marriage... In these first few messy weeks... her own misery and life spiraling was contrasted to the picture-perfect marriage Nicole and Ted seemed to have. (on first glance). What happened now... is very very smart writing. THIS IS THE MOMENT THE MASKS ARE FALLING! The message it delivers to me is this. It says - no matter how things look... they are not what they seem. You can't judge a marriage by how it appears to be. Aaaand in the long run... maybe the messiest-looking people (Dani Dupree, I'm talking about you!) HAVE less issues and problems than the ones that seem to have it all. The ones with the MOST skeletons in the closets and the dirty pasts.   It was an AHA moment for the whole family and the viewers and a way forward for Dani and Nicole to bond even more and realize they are MORE alike than they are different. Now it will be quite a different dynamic, because Dani will have to SUPPORT someone and not be the one getting her wounds licked always. And also another lesson. Some men are dogs. Not all of them. But a lot of them are. The difference is... some can't be easily recognized. These creeps have put very impressive masks. The show is doing this perfectly. Beat by beat. Exploring classic soap opera themes and stories. Real-life characters and situations, that are relatable and make you think... Hmm... maybe I need to dig a little deeper next time I say "these people are perfect" or otherwise. Maybe I need to think MORE. That type of storytelling. It's not easy to do that.  Brava BTG.  B-R-A-V-A!
    • I speculate that Nicole will go through cycles of numbness/grief/rage.  At some point later on, regardless of DNA results (or faked results), whether there was a baby swap or not, I think Nicole will forgive Eva, and eventually love her someday.  Nicole will come to understand that Leslie gaslighted/manipulated Eva.  Nicole will be her loving self, although more guarded than before.   Just my thoughts.
    • Lol. That comment was just silly.  I feel like The Guiding Light started it when they made me love Roger Thorpe. Leslie is pussycat in comparison and there is a lot of story to go  for her and Eva. 
    • Your posts continue to amuse me. I don't know anyone else who thinks Leslie and Eva should "hightail it out of town."  And listen, soaps have been FOR DECADES keeping around villains who we know would be jailed in real life. So is it crazy to think "they are just going to let this slide"? No. It's kind of hilarious to watch you take everything that happens on this show and distort it or lead me to think, "Huh???"  
    • I can't even count the amount of magazine covers and photoshoots KKL has been in the past few months. Shame that the show is not mirroring the success she's having. It would have been so great to see both KKL and Brooke be on top.  I'm still holding a grudge that Brad rewrote the company take-over to a nothing... and then nulled Brooke to being a romance beggar again.   
    • I'm also getting an error that I haven't seen before, but there's been a couple of different variations, so not going to worry about it for now.
    • Finally got to sit down and watch. Wow!  When LesDanLuAnn said to Ted, this your daughter. I started tearing up...... Eva got me.  I felt like I was watching a soap opera.

    • The drag was when Tad and Edmund went to Budapest (?) in 1997 to get Maddie back from Dimitri.
