"The Saint Slut Of Llanview."
🔷
Hello, guys! I've finally watched 4 new episodes and I need to update y'all before it's too late and I forget all the details. Let's dive in!
🔷
Blair lost everything. She lost it because of a corrupt trial where paid witnesses lied about her... including that awful maid who was initially on her side. That piece of sh-t falsely claimed to have seen Blair and Max in bed together. Then there was Luna, being her usual too honest self, telling the judge that she saw Max getting ready for Blair in the hot tub at Serenity Springs. We watched Max struggle to hide his feelings for Blair, and in the end, even defending her from the aggressive reporters. Meanwhile, Luna was left standing in the corner like a dog. WELL. WELL. WELL. @DRW50 - we were right all along. Luna is humiliating herself for a guy... who isn’t even worth it. I would have dumped him just for that alone - standing next to Blair like he’s her knight in shining armor. Luna's only luck is that Mia Korf decided to leave the show. Back to Blair - after losing the trial, she had to think fast about her next move. And surprise, not surprise... she broke into Dorian's safe (the fact that it was so easy was ridiculous) and stole 100 000 dollars. Just. Like. That.
P.S. I forgot to mention EXACTLY how Blair ended up losing the trial - besides everything being corrupt and bought off by Asa, we saw one of most absurd scenes ever. The usually composed, smart, and strategic Blair suddenly lost her cool and admitted in front of EVERYONE in court that she actually hated that "old man" and wanted nothing to do with him all along. Provoked till she lost it-type of thing that I hate. Such a ridiculous twist that made Blair look like an idiot. That's not the Blair I love. They were going for high drama, but what we got was just cheap lazy writing. And with this, Mia Korf's version of Blair is officially done. THE END. I'm preparing myself for the blonde white woman version, I'll probably need to visit my therapist before I adjust to her. MIA was a T.R.E.A.S.U.R.E! I'll miss her!

Viki Buchanan is working hard to change her title of "The Saint" of Llanview to maybe... "The Slut". Her "chance" meetings with Sloan are beginning to get more and more daring and sexual. They are making out like young lovers, and are practically one more trip to the library before more scandalous body fluids are exchanged. The fact that they were eating their faces so passionately IN THE LIBRARY where anyone could have seen them... (In fact, the Devil Saybrooke did) was shocking to me. Viki is beginning to act foolish at this point... and the level of disrespect towards Clint is unmeasurable. She LIES through her teeth every single day. I've never even seen Brooke Logan lie so fast, without even blinking. But here is the twist. There is a new B in town - SHARLENE FROM ANOTHER WORLD!!!!! But here she is not Sharlene... she's called Elizabeth - a very interesting woman indeed. She is just the troublemaker Viki needed - a dose of her own medicine. Seeing a beautiful, clever blonde try to spin her web around Clint... was sooo good. It's time Viki realize that the General is not the only one with testicles in this town. Two can play at this game.

The nasty college guys that put drugs in Jason's pocket... opened Pandora's box. Just as Leanne was about to get her second chance with Demerest, Kevin found out about Jason's newest run-in with the police... and decided to pull the rug once more under her feet. It's obvious what is happening. They are going to break up Leanne and Jason. I know it. And it makes me sad. This show breaks everyone up too soon. It reminds me of how they broke Bo and Cassie up just when they got married. I don't like it. But I also think that Leanne has been slowly fading into the background and maybe the actress's days are numbered. Jason is backburned too, sadly. They haven't been given anything but scraps of airtime... minutes here and there for months.

For a final thought, Marty Saybrooke is now taking on the role that Dorian played in Viki's life. It looks like after Elaine Princi was written out (before RS comes back)... they decided to have Marty fixate on Viki's personal life. I really enjoy their scenes together because both actresses bring out the best in each other. I thought it was great how Marty teased Viki about seeing her in the library with Sloan. Once this DEMON sets her sights on you... all bets are off. Memorable lines like "Clean your own house before you judge mine" and "It takes one to know one" when it comes to being a slut... make me chuckle. I'm here for it. This feud has a lot of potential, because of how different and how similar these two women are at the same time.

Ooooh and I almost forgot - they've started the Cord-return-from-death storyline. In a very caricaturish way. I'm not sure how I feel about it. What will Cord think when he finds out that Tina opened her legs to Cain 2 weeks after he "died". I'm sure he won't be happy. Or maybe he will be. There is a thing called cuckolding after all.
Overall - 6.5/10 - Entertaining, but not their best. MESSY.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
