Whenever the party and big reveal I can see the cliffhanger being in sensationalist B&B style dramatic music and audible gasps. What I'm most anxious to see is how Nicole reacts. She's the level headed one so it will be interesting to see how she processes a big bomb being dropped on her. 

In the behind the scenes special Daphnee deferred her Emmy chances to Karla, but if this storyline goes well I can possibly see Daphnee being a contender next year.

Well, we've already scene the spoiled unstable sister go ballistic and lash out, so in this case Nicole should be much calmer and measured in her response. Not to say she won't be hurt and angry but she might move immediately to save her marriage and start rebuilding.

They chose to have both sisters in marriage crisis from the get go so I assume the reason is to show how they each handle the situation differently.

Yeah, no, I actually like that Vernon and Anita aren’t Tom and Alice. I can appreciate that from a writing perspective. But I still can’t root for them—they come off as obnoxious to me, and Vernon just seems like a total doormat. That said, I love to hate them.

As for product placement, I know it’s been experimented with before, but what I’m saying is—I’ve never seen a soap consistently use it outside of a crisis period, I guess? BTG feels relatively stable, yet it’s integrating product placement, which I think is a good thing! TPTB probably used to think product placement would cheapen the show or drive viewers away, which is why they’d only pull that card in desperate times. But that’s clearly not the case.

Something I picked up during my rewatch: When Dani told Anita about how she was fired from the board, she accused Anita of already knowing. I think this was the impetus for what Anita did later by pulling the family's funding from the charity.

Anita's overreaction is an attempt to prove her love/loyalty to Dani, especially since Dani sees Vernon as the "nice" parent and Anita as the "tough" parent. Dani has probably manipulated Anita this way for a long time.

It fits in the established dynamic Dani has with her daughters, especially Chelsea, who mentioned early in the series that they have to walk on eggshells until they can assess Dani's mood.
