Hayley being over excited about getting money for an anniversary gift from Bill was hilarious and so in character.

Dani should have pulled out one of those toy guns that when you shOOT it a flag pops out saying "Surprise!'

I agree it's great for Shanice's family to pop in.

Iona Morris Jackson plays Dr. Monica McCormick, Shanice's auntie. Iona is the real-life sister of Phil Morris who played Tyrone on Y&R. Their dad was Greg Morris from the original Mission Impossible TV series. (on the reboot tv series Phil played the son of Greg's character).
Iona played Tamara Tunie's sister on ATWT.

This show is usually an A+ when it comes to fashion, but that jacket on Joey.... is rough!

Does anyone know if Anita's scene with Gayle King is available to watch online? I couldn't find it on Youtube, and I don't subscribe to Paramount+.

Thoughts:

• So the first anniversary is paper, huh? Could not have made it divorce papers over money? And here comes Ms Dani!

• Joey is very clearly setting Randy up to portray him as disloyal and unreliable. It is only a matter of time at this point.

• Sorry Ted but Shanice could give two fücks about you right now. Her auntie Monica just showed up. We love it.

• Anita, you are a shero and you should revel in that. Yes, you could lose what is left of your hair, but you also could not lose it.

• Dani's giddiness over the first-year giving Bill a stroke was hilarious. She is living within this and it is hilarious.

• Not the PTSD of Dani grabbing into her purse; Bill should surely know Dani would not shoot him now. But he should be worried about Hayley's con.

• Not a tissue. 🤣 Dani is petty in the best way possible.

• Oh, Monica is that kind of auntie. I see her and I adore her!

• Yes, Joey. Scare her. Scare Hayley to the point of no return. Please! She deserves it!

• Ashley's bedside manner with Anita is amazing; you can tell how compassionate and warm she is as a nurse. And I am sure it helps Anita feel at ease with this round of chemotherapy.

• Of course Katherine would self-invite herself to move in with Naomi while Jacob is away on his assignment.

• Joey, Joey, Joey... what is it you are up to right now where Randy is concerned?

• Vernon's positivity is infectious and I know it may not always be what Anita wants to hear but it is what she needs to hear, especially when she is receiving chemo.

• Good on Naomi for channelling Vernon for calling out Katherine's bullshït reason(s) for wanting to move out.

• Knowledge is power, Joey. You are absolutely right and you trying to get to the bottom of what is going on feels right.

Notes:

• Bibel and Davis worked exceptionally well today. Both the breakdown and scriptwork were consistent, tight, and consistent (thanks to Susan Dansby).

• Very disappointed that post-production is still cold as Hell. Not as severe as Friday's episode but it is still very apparent and visually seen. It feels like they are not putting the filter on and are showing the raw footage.

• Karla Mosley (Dani) is living in this episode. She knows how to portray her character flawlessly. She is delicious.

• The continued education and realism with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are so nice to see. It is not forced, nor is it some kind of talk piece. It is natural and normal.

The anniversary Easter egg continued with the whole Dani going psycho at Hayley/Bill's wedding last year. It's a shame that Dani doesn't turn a little bit of that blame onto her family for doing the whole toxic 'Dupree family honor' edict and making her go along.

In regards to SPS/Leslie.. a little bit goes a long way. I blame the director for not telling the performer to reign it in a little bit and the writers for not giving the performer anything to play so they have to go broad in their performance to compensate for the lack of variety in the writing.

If I'm correct, didn't Kat tamper with the evidence that she found? If so, that could be a way where people truly know what she did.. but because of a lack of evidence... they can't charge SPS/Leslie with a crime? That's the only way where we could see where everyone truly knows she's guilty.. but can't prove it because of the lack of evidence that is admissible due to Kat's tampering with it.

That way, whatever Joey has on SPS/Leslie will be the main focus and seeing how he chooses to use that evidence.

In regards to a previous comment about Joey not being that keen on women of color, I think he would be down for a hook up with Dani (judging by the banter between the two where they enjoyed the interaction). He has good sense not to go anywhere near SPS/Leslie
