Finally caught up. I was really torn by Friday's episode.

Naomi and Jacob were way too invested on who performed this surgery on June being she's someone they barely know. Also, this is a hospital in the DMV, a densely populated area with well-staffed hospitals. There's only one qualified doctor in all of the DMV? Oh no, not that doctor! Only Dr. McBride will do? It was strange. 

Can we stop making the Casino a meeting point. First, Eva and Mona crossing paths and now Dani/Pamela/Doug/Joey. These folks don't seem like they just hit up the casino on a random Tuesday. Especially, one that is supposed to be some shady, seedy backroom. They need to end this casino stuff and repurpose that set.

Ted and Dana read sooooo differently this episode. Why was Ted out here inviting this woman that just blew up his life, clearly is unhinged, and took 50k to a birthday dinner???? Did I miss something? His reaction towards Dana also did not seem angry or in disgust like the previous Ted. It didn't feel right.

Whatever Bill was doing with his eyes when at OG's with Smitty. 

The Good:

Anita getting some story is great. Love to have her doing more. 

Leslie is wild. She really just had Eva to hold onto Ted-ddy. Calling her daughter a whole souvenir and not giving 2 about her birthday. Although, I'm wondering if Eva's real birthday is actually earlier and that's why Dana/Lesile is so nonchalant about this date. She gave Eva a cupcake some time back and I'm wondering if that's to tie to this idea that Kat and Eva are twins. 

Smitty is growing on me. He's got something to do. 

I didn't love some bigger things in this episode, but there were some small things that really were so nice to see. Loved seeing Dani calling Doug over to join them. It really gave off this feeling that they know each other well and it was a bit playful like you would do with a friend. Similarly, I liked how Kat and Naomi and Jacob played off each other. "I was actually asking my hubsand." It gave off authentic family banter vibes.

Kat is still a privileged elitist. She hated Eva on sight because Eva didn’t bow her head to her immediately and continued to treat Eva like a stain on her overpriced shoes. I’d love to know if Laura kissed her ass and kissed the ring properly and knew her place below Kat in the general hierarchy. 
 

While Eva has been deserving of most of the consequences she’s been reaping, the Dupree women can take several hundred seats with the way they behave towards others. The hypocrisy and posturing irks me more than anything else and it’s the same thing that irks me about all other prominent soap families who can do no wrong in their own eyes.

 

I’m not really rooting for any of these assholes except maybe Eva (who is by default the smallest [!@#$%^&*] on this show), but I’m rooting against the Dupree family (except Nicole - she’s awesome) in general and I’m not sure that’s the goal of the showrunners.

Yes! I'm not at your point of not rooting for the Duprees, but they really need to tone down the self-righteousness. Some of the things coming out of these ladies' mouths is out of pocket considering all the skeletons in their own family's closet.

Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it. 

Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.

Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course.

But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not.

Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.

TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.

Well before the craziness starts, I just wanted to say that off of this week's promo...I love that show so far stays playing all the beats. And just when you think they forgot about something or someone mentions a loose end here...it circles back around. I love the attention to those plot details. So far.

      5-13   Hmmm. That was a little bit better.   I admit that it did appear that Damian and Lily are dancing around each other. I don't mind it tooo much because I like them together. But there is only so many times they can have issues around trust. But at least he decided he might be willing to work with her against Dumas.   I actually enjoyed Giggly Heffa/Billy/Sally. This time at least. I would have liked to see Phyllis continue to be introspective and form an obsessive bond to Sharon...which was where their storyline appeared to be going...because it felt like it was going to lead to something new. So sad that does not seem to be the case. That said...Phyllis scheming is something I can get behind and MS does give good scheme face. Bonus that it will move the Dumas storyline right along by her taking things into her own hands.    Phyllis...and Victor? Well...hmmm. I have to giggle at these Summer mentions.

      @VelekaCarruthers thank you, but was not Katherine who had feelings for her friend Joann because she missed her deceased husband and felt lonely and tried to kiss her and Joann ended their friendship? I have not seen anything on You Tube and I don't know if the kiss was aired or not. I still have to consider the kiss between Bianca and Lena on AMC in 2003 as the first lesbian one on US soaps.

      @dc11786 thank you for the detail about Azure and Bernardo's sex scene which I ignored - or, better said, I know Azure comes out to Bernardo right after having sex when he want to know the true after reading the scoop by Jared Chase, but I didn't know their first time was showed on TV. Now I really want to see this episode. I'm reading on Wiki that Another Life went on air on Christian Broadcasting Network and maybe that is the reason for which Tony was an unseen character as Stanley Walker in Will & Grace. @j swift thank you too for the answer. Very helpful. ✌ It seems this storyline was a mess and very bad. What a shame and missed big opportunity.

      I don't care.  I feel that murderers and rapists shouldn't be romantic leads.

      I think both of them have been given balanced, nuanced, and honest writing about who they both are, flaws and all, for months now. It's not so basic or black and white.

      Any Capitol Fans Here?

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Grant Aleksander talks a bit about Capitol 50 minutes into this interview. He says he did the show because he was under a hold due a pilot he made for Aaron Spelling and only had limited choices in what he could do. John Conboy agreed to hire him at Capitol for six months but told him he would only really have two sets - a pool and a bed.

      Xander and EJ are villains.  I don't like them being written as romantic leads.  My opinion.

      And those two couples cover all the main families on the show. As long as good story is happening than I'm happy to continue on with them together.
