A "peace" offering.
🔷
We are so so back. 2 more episodes... in the crazy wicked world of Llanview. Let's dive in, shall we!
🔷
Anyone who thought that Dorian would wake up a completely different woman after yesterday's distressing situation... well... I will have to disappoint you. Her plan to change her ways lasted exactly until morning. She started her day by reading a negative article... this time not written by her, but about her (Clint's response to her previous attacks)... and of course, Mommie dearest was not happy. She bounced back quickly however... once she found out that the Society Slut Buchanina is currently on the same train as her lover. Oops. Then came the strangest "peace offering" I've ever seen.. 😄 She dangled the fact that Buchanina might be enjoying not only the legendary train… but Sloan Carpenter's legendary (cough, cough) as well. Poor Clint. Thank God he had the vulture Lindsay waiting in the corner... ready to pick up the pieces. And then there was Dorian’s denial about her potential cancer diagnosis. She lied to Jason about going to the doctor, insisting everything was fine, fine, fine. I love that they’re letting this unfold slowly, letting her move through the stages instead of rushing it. You can already feel the tension building... she’s going to unravel more and more as the episodes progress I'm sure of it.

Speaking of our naughty girl Viki - after a few steamy sessions in the luxurious cabin, the girl got hungry and thirsty (sex does that to people) and simply had to eat something in the train’s restaurant. And that’s when one of the first real Anna Karenina‑aftermath moments happened. She liked touching Sloan, holding his hand… but she liked doing it in private. The moment an acquaintance saw her, she slipped her hand away from his. It’s not easy living the life of a ho, Viki… I know it myself. And then she had to make a choice - she would either keep hiding her silver fox in the closet… or finally let him out into the open and officially present herself as his lady. Sloan was, as usual, quite manipulative - showering her with compliments and letting her believe she had all the control. So... Viki decided she wouldn’t hide the affair anymore... they would even go to an event together. Little does she know… Lindsay and Clint are also planning on attending that same event. I CAN’T WAIT. I think this is what some of you mentioned to me weeks and weeks ago about Lindsay winning something over Viki. I think we’re getting there. I’m honestly surprised Lindsay has survived this long - meaning she hasn’t already been written out.

They’re really trying to reinvent Marty Saybrooke. They’re giving us her backstory in small bites. Today we saw her defend little Jessica - who is starting to look like a spitting image of Erika Slezak (amazing casting)... against her music teacher, who accused the girl of cheating on her assignment. While standing up for her new friend, we learned what kind of girl Marty used to be… before tragedy struck and left her in the hands of her wicked aunt Kiki. She used to be one of the brightest, most talented children, full of potential. When the teacher asked her... "What have you been up to all these years?"... I got goosebumps. The truth is - drinking herself into pathetic, self‑destructive binges, sleeping with whoever asks, and trying to destroy people’s lives. Of course she didn’t say that… but we all know it. We saw that huge abyss between what could have been and what she has become. But we’re also giving her a second chance. The writers are telling us - this girl used to be a star. Then life turned her into a monster. But that little girl is still alive somewhere inside her. And she can come back. Will she? We’ll see.

We got a Leanne Demerest sighting, y’all! I can’t believe it. The writers have dropped the ball on this character ever since she kidnapped her baby - she was interesting for a few weeks and then completely flatlined. After breaking her and Jason up so fast (after investing in them for soooooooo long), everything unraveled. This time, I think we may actually be seeing her last scenes. I have a huge problem with the way they’re writing her out - if they really are. Suddenly she needs to leave Llanview to recover from her breakup with Jason, but she has to take Demerest with her… and Kevin, out of absolutely nowhere, tells her he’ll "think about" letting her keep the child. I was like... WTF is this? This is Bold and the Beautiful... style erasing of history, motivation, and logic. If they truly make Kevin change his mind and let the child go with her... after making us watch him fight for that kid for months... I will scream. I don’t like this. They haven’t done it yet, so I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt, but it really seems to be heading in that direction. So lazy. I’ll forgive them because the rest of the show is great, but these “small” things aren’t actually small. I loved that Kevin was so stubborn and protective as a father. I don’t want to see him leave Demerest with the stupid, irresponsible Leanne. That’s not the Kevin I know. And that's not the Kevin they wrote for months and months.
🔷
P.S. We’re also seeing Cord unravel after his split with Tina... and that ominous blonde woman Angela, who was acting like a saint. We saw the creature driving into Llanview… and why do I get the vibe that she’s going to sleep with Cord, get pregnant in a few months, and turn out to be a complete psycho or something like that? This woman is giving me Single White Female vibes. So Tina… beware. Yet another psycho is coming to town. (If I'm not wrong about it)
Overall - 8.5/10
