The scenes between Anita & Vernon are a painful watch but it is the one storyline that seems to be written with detail and any care. I think Tamara and Clifton are showing why they are deserving of the matriarch and patriarch of this show.
I don't have a problem with Samantha and Tyrell as a concept but it's getting harder and harder to overlook the fact that "Samantha" doesn't look her age, she looks older...noticeably, unavoidably older. At least the actor who portrays Tyrell could pass for 17, 18.
How much longer is this plasma ring storyline going to be with us? It is getting more and more ridiculous. And with Smitty trying to call the shots now? Is he a detective now? Are he and Jacob partners? Smitty, go home to your husband...if anything, you are drawing suspicion on Jacob at this point. And Jacob doesn't need any more ways to flop, he already has more than enough of his own accord. Again, I ask, what is the purpose of this entire story? Will Anita need a transfusion or something? Why should I care? Especially seeing that most of the action happens off screen.
Speaking of offscreen, some miracle will probably happen at the new clinic, but offscreen. And the clinic needs to get in line behind off screen Banneker University, which has been mentioned since the beginning and has no less than four characters who either work or attend school there, yet we still have yet to see one room inside that campus.
Dani asserting to Bill that her man is the man of the house, is a standout line and Karla delivered it deftly.
I honestly don't care about Vanessa and Temu Tony Soprano. The more Vanessa whimpers about her downtrodden existence as wife and mother (if she & Doug were really just roommates, there is this thing called a divorce, which would have at least left Doug with more dignity than he had right before his demise or thereafter), the more unseemly light Vanessa puts the whole of her existence in her marriage and life in. Just. Stop. It doesn't make Vanessa look any better in my eyes, so Vanessa, please cut the whining.
Hopefully Naomi uses her lawyerly training and doesn't let anything slip out about Jacob in front of the plasma ring street corner captain. But they make everyone on this show except Joey, look absolutely clueless.
