Thoughts:

• June is doing a wonderful job adjusting to her job, and I love that she is focusing on maintaining professionalism with her job as well.

• Vanessa went from enticing Joey to dreading being called over by Dana and Eva. Poor Lady.

• The con artist child bride totally wants to get Bill to St Barts so she can kill his ass out of the country. I see how she is.

• We are finally getting some legal action going again! And Lynette looks like she means absolute business.

• Tomas, cut your losses. She is absolutely not worth the hassle you are putting into her.

• Garland Memorial must be the dating hub of Fairmont. First Carlton and Nicole (plus Kial) and now Shanice and Ted are getting to know each other. I am liking their vibe together. Genuinely.

• What a kind gesture of Jacob to take Naomi to the Bowman and to try and embrace a romantic adventure for the pair of them.

• Oh, the con artist child bride does not like Ms Lynette, which means I am going to LOVE her to no end! Yes!

Notes:

• The food at Orphey Gene's continues to look bomb and their prices are impressive as well.

• I love seeing Jasmine Burke (June) in the background at Orphey Gene's. It brings a sense of familiarity to that set.

The City Girls have reunited!

HT and Lyneshia!

Lynette and Hayley know each other !!!!!

This is about get GOOD

I saw an interview with Jen Jacob on Instagram and she mentioned how the story is developed and it seems like this mess they have going was planned from the beginning for Ashley/Derek. It amazes me that even with the reaction to those characters they still haven't pivoted. I've given up hope on recasts but at least change it up. The story just doesn't work.

Now with Tomas, I do think the story is fine but the actor is just dreadful.

So the whole Derek holding back his progress in order to surprise Ashley and then being found out long before he was deceitful wasn't a pivot/adjustment?

Wow!

I'm on the fence on whether this was all MVJ's vision (that she said played out in her mind all these years), or if the abundance of EP's/Production companies have somewhat muddled the waters.

-- AA is so terrible as Tomas that I have no words. He doesn't even need to speak to show how terrible he is. His body language when he walked into Kat's place was so unnatural, so pathetically bad. If I saw some improvement, I'd mention it, but I don't. He's not getting any better.

-- The Kat and Tomas story does. not. work. That's because of Alegria. It's impossible to believe anything about that story.

-- I also cringe at the "Leslie has unlimited funds" line that we keep hearing. Isn't there a reasonable way to get her involved in this free clinic rather than having her fund the entire thing? It's just so goddamn ridiculous.

-- A free clinic is something they should have Martin spearheading, not Eva and Leslie, who know NOTHING about medicine or the legalities or anything else. Maybe Madison can work there for free and kiss Chelsea there on her breaks.

I like it too. We need a familiar face there since we're always in OG's. Even though the storyline for June and her personality really made no sense, I'm glad she's happy and the way she is now.

I agree. It's nice seeing her rebuild her life after being down for as long as she was.
