You know the show is going downhill when a topic of discussion is a fictional scene about mac-n-cheese. I agree the reveal of Lia as a "boss" should have been done more dramatically. The whole plasma story has had such potential but failed execution at every turn. I'd be okay with Derrick becoming a casualty and Carlton becoming "the Impaler" for story beats after (Nicole and Ashley's reactions), but as everyone has said, there is no build up. The wrap up of this story should have been a week full of intense scenes leading up to a Friday cliffhanger (Derrick stabbed, Jacob shot, the reveal of "The Impaler") then the aftermath for a week. After that, cut into the cotillion for a week of episodes. Then the week after lead into the June event. (I won't mention for spoiler purposes.) The pacing of this show is all over the place. I'd love for Doug to be alive and Deanna to know about it. It would explain the hatred she has for Vanessa and her trifling with Joey if Doug reached out to Deanna and let her know what was going on regarding Joey. It would also provide drama for Donnell, who wasn't told by Doug, or Deanna, that his father was alive. I wish Caroline could have been involved with Mike's return to Bill's office. Maybe be the one to begrudgingly walk him in for his meeting.
