Wednesday was another good one. This week has been very strong overall. Leslie has definitely carried it! I do wonder what her end game is. I can't get over how fearless she is and these mind games she plays. I'm used to villains doing whatever they can to hide their secrets but she is basically taunting everyone. Will Jacob end up putting the pieces together or be the typical soap egg head cop? We shall see....

I loved the scenes with Dani and Chelsea. Karla really shines when she is put in scenes with her daughters. I didn't expect it to work based on the ages but she comes off very believable as their mother. I also love how much she clearly cares for them and loves them. The way she immediately pivoted to focus on Chelsea's needs and making sure she knew she was loved and accepted was so heartwarming. As much as Bill wanted to be in the mix, I can't see him doing the same. 

I still remain shocked that this week has finally made me feel empathetic for Doofy. I hope that this is truly the end for him and Ashley and that they pivot somewhere else for him. He is still a terrible actor but he is more bearable in scenes with other people. 

I did enjoy the Dani/Chelsea scene! It’s nice to see Dani show a little more nuance, and I agree I do buy her and Chelsea as mother/daugher.

And, Dani's focus, whoa, when she deigns to really pay attention, her focus is laser sharp. And, Chelsea is a natural attention seeking target for Dani. She is so much more mother than I realized before.

 

Hm. I just realized that Dani/Andre feel like the main B plot this week. And I'm not at all complaining about that. I just figured it would be Doug/Joey/Vanessa storyline, but there is one last week in this month so perhaps that is just going to be a C plot until next week.

 

 

Queen Mother Nicole! Thank God!

Mona could be this show's secret weapon if they play their cards right. 

Nicole looks great!

Glad it's a Leslie, Eva day and Eva's jacket/top is fire. 

Mona and Shanice are definitely two of the best recurring. Shanice staring at Nicole and Ted in the background listening to their conversation made me laugh. 

Derek is better with Jacob today. Always great to see Jacob.

Very much this. I'm surprised they have not played it up more than they have before now so people could get used to Derek and Jacob also needs a sounding board.

All my favorites are in this episode except King Bill.

One of the many things I like about this show has been its ability to have characters pop up mid-episode so fingers crossed.  

June AKA Jessica Griffin. And more cheating husbands. Good, that was ATWT joke.
