I do dislik howw Naomi was paintiing June as doing a good thing. No she was a drug addict that called CPS on her kids whom snatched them up into the system when she had a healthy able bodied sister that loved and would have raised those kids. June gave them away and has no idea if they are well or loveed. Id be pissed at my sister if she did that to my nieces when Im right here

I agree with this. I feel like yeah she did get her kids out of a bad situation but it doesn't make up for the trauma she put them through.

And don't forget that June is now going home with Regina at the first ask. This is after returning to the streets multiple times and behaving like someone with serious mental issues.

Leslie and her inheritance is just what she needed. We're getting to the point where everybody is getting sick of her and they needed to find a way to justify her place in these peoples lives. Giving her money gives her legitimate access to the country club and opens her up to new possibilities. I hope the first step is having her move into a new place.

Totally agree with this!  And I never saw this storyline/reveal actually coming, so that was fun.

The Bill/Hayley story feels like it's being made up as it goes along. She has a 'miscarriage', is home the same day and back at the hospital the next day all gung ho for the next baby.

Huh? And previously Bill's stroke really lead to nothing. Just incidents to bring Dani back into their lives.

At least we got a different hospital set. I was sure we'd be at the nurses station for those scenes.

it also helped with repairing the relationship with Bill and his daughters, especially Naomi.

Wasn't that just the nurses station set filmed at a different angle?

If Leslie suddenly morphing into some rich b***h via an inheritance keeps her around then BRAVO! But at the same time I have mixed feelings about it. I still think this show needs some "have nots" in the mix to form a balance, preferably in the form of a full family, like many, myself included, have suggested previously. Leslie and Eva are currently "have nots" but obviously that's about to change.

Does Kat look awesome or what? Red suits her. That dress suits her. Her hair is gorgeous. Everything.

This episode is getting on my nerves. The amount of times I said "that's stupid" at such ridiculous choices. 

Oh well, I guess Celia Cruz got a shout out...Azzzúúúccaarrr

So Samantha was 9 years old and Tyrell was 10 when adopted. That was 6 years ago. Again how did Naomi not recognize them in the picture?

Leslie would be new money... which is a 'Have Not' in the eyes of older money like the Duprees.

Really dumb and clearly an oversight. Totally get it that she didn't recognize them in June's warn photo, but she should have recognized them in Regina's photo on her phone.

yes, yes, yes!

this chelsea allison thing wouldn’t be so stupid if there had been some character development for allison. but, as it stands, she’s just a plot device. 

and why, why for the love of god, would naomi and jacob break the news when the kids were in the house.

stupid, stupid, stupid!
