-- Madison was crazy to accept Chelsea's proposal. What's the rush? This just shows Chelsea's immaturity. These are not serious people.

-- Derek's reasons for not trusting Grayson are pathetic. He has none that offer any proof of anything.

-- On the other hand, Ashley is an idiot. She takes that worthless concern and tells Grayson "Tell me something true." Huh??? What kind of conversation is that?

-- Grayson answers Ashley with some ridiculous comment that he's been a bad guy. Again, huh??? That's followed by Ashley LIKING that response and kissing him? Are you kidding me? Then Grayson weirdly runs out the door. Really attractive move there, guy.

-- I'm glad Ted went after Leslie and that the panties thing wasn't drawn out as story.

-- I was again disappointed that Eva is unable to criticize her mother and set boundaries. "Oh, Mawma!" is not enough.

-- We need to see more from Izaiah than sitting Uptown with a beer.

-- I still enjoy Cady M as over-the-top Pamela. Every scene with her is campy fun.

SHUT UP, EVA!!!

Ted has EVERY right to air Silk Press Sheila out in front of everybody.

I'm very happy that after that meh Monday, the show bounced back quickly.

And while I'm thinking about it...while I think Grayson will be involved in the blood ring, I don't think he's the Impaler, but per his description in articles, he will be a red herring to the identity but involved somehow.

I look forward to Allison escaping and crashing the wedding lol.

OMG lol.

The character write-up on Grayson did hint that he was raised by a single parent so perhaps in order to support the parent (possibly medical related), he has to work for the Impaler. I also wonder if Kial is also involved in the ring since I believe it was mentioned he was a widow and perhaps he lost his spouse due to something that could have been prevented.

Had a female expressed the same concerns about Grayson due to her instincts, she'd most likely be listened to and believe.. but because it's Derek (a man).. he won't be listened to. Although I think his instincts about Grayson are right, I think the true backstory for Grayson isn't sinister and probably is something to do with his single mother that raised him.

SPS is the reason why restraining orders are a thing.

I wish the show would Dani like this all the time instead of on occasion. She wasn't too over the top, she acted like a rational individual and was even respectful about Eva when talking to Izaiah. Perhaps if she detoxed from Bill completely, she'd become a decent human being (although she has an addictive personality so she'll switch to a new addiction like alcohol, sex, etc)

I'll say it again, but I think Shanice is the best friend Derek has right now.. way better than Pick me Jacob.

Lastly, I don't get the Chelsea/Madison relationship... it reads like a bad YA novel. MVJ and co... please read Emily Henry so you can actually craft a solid 20 something relationship between two individuals.

Yeah, I suspect Grayson is either a red herring or an unwilling accomplice. I would hope he continues on regardless because I do think Jordi is doing solid work and actually has chemistry with Ashley.

Chelsea and Madison's insta-romance grew on me a bit during and then following the kidnapping, after which it was more low-key and they had some more natural material. Now it just seems like a recipe for future disaster, but that can be good drama. I wonder if the mother angle will be picked up again.

I still think Derek is turning psycho.
