mother?!

at the risk of overstating the obvious — leslie is a horrible human being!

I was at the edge of my seat! This was excellent! I also didn't anticipate any of Leslie's reveal in this episode so that surprised me. I feel like most soaps would've ended on her walking in. Considering we only get 3 episodes the next two weeks, those little touches are nice. 

Also I feel for Eva! You can tell she was genuinely hurt and wants a family. Leslie just wants revenge and isn't taking Eva's feelings into consideration at all. I wonder how their relationship is going to transform.

Thank God the truth is going to come out before we had the disservice of hearing those sure to be nauseating and cringe speeches from Martin and Kat. Hallelujah!

🤣 RIGHT!

Leslie and Eva continue to prove they are the spark this show needs. They make this show infinitely better when they're featured.

It's at moments like this one where I reach for the word "creature".

I love the show uses the same extras; everyone feels familiar.

The script was laced with so much foreshadowing. Someone needs to be Emmy reel counting too.

Same. My whole heart is with Eva and Nicole the most.

This was the first time I noticed how much Kat looks like the singer, Keri Hilson.

Yes, I love that! Not many shows do it anymore.

And not the core four that they were pushing so heavily in the beginning? How wickedly ironic.

I guess today was a modernized retelling of (Another World) Rachel crashing Steve and Alice's engagement party with baby news. Which I love, classic storytelling still works!

I mean, the story still stems from one of the core four. And, soap fans are naturally drawn to the troublemakers.

At this point I think the core four are highly overrated. And Tamara Tunie's place on this show is an unexpected disappointment.

Tamara Tunie is a goddess in my opinion.  She can totally bring the mesmerizing acting, when Anita is written for in an active way.  Anita is less interesting when written as a talk-to or a reciter of past events.  I think she'll be more in an active role at some point in the relatively near future?

Pretty sure Daphnée is going to bring it soon!

Unfortunately they are not using this goddess to her potential.
