Look at Nicole actively sabotaging her nephew....

This story is so stupid. It would make more sense if Rashad was played by a new character. We see him as a soldier in this plasma ring that gets involved with Grayson. Weeks later we find out he's actually none other than Luke, the middle Hawthorne brother that came back to town to work this undercover case. Jacob is his contact in the PD, not Smitty that he's been feeding info too

Thoughts:

• That's right, Dana, that is Vernon Dupree dominating over you and showing you what true class actually is.

• Anita wanting Bill to be co-executor of her estate is not something I was expecting. But I think it shows just how much she does still love him, despite his mistakes.

• Tomas is playing Lynette in Bill's office. He is determined to uncover the scheme, regardless of Hayley's careless eavesdropping on the conversation.

• I appreciate Izaiah's efforts for Darlene, but this will only complicate an already complicated undercover operation.

• Uh-oh. Dana, you may believe you are in a good position within Fairmont Crest, but your daughter, who has been quite persistent lately, has just caught you. Bad move.

• "Intention doesn't erase impact." Okay, Darlene, good on you for invoking some wisdom in your son, and I am glad you are siding with Naomi where Jacob is concerned.

• I love that Nicole is clocking Dani on the harsh truth; even she knows that Bill and Dani are bound to reunite as a couple at some point.

• Grayson's discussion about the drop with Lia unequivocally confirms her as the probable leader of the plasma ring, and she now intends to incorporate Dana's free clinic into her operations. That is going to bring Dana down without her even suspecting it.

• Aw, that is so sweet of Sharon to offer Anita to lie down on her and just hum her to sleep. So, so sweet.

• Not Lia alluding to the fact that Grayson, at one point, was disinterested in participating in the plasma ring. From what Ashley is saying, it sounds like she has been involved in some heavy stuff, which has caused her whole demeanour to change over the past year.

• Oh. Darlene wants nothing to do with Eva. Absolutely nothing. It was giving "Bless your heart."

• Bradley is such a kind cousin-in-law to be there for Naomi. Love it.

• Uh-oh. Ashley, get off of the elevator while you can! This is not good. At all.

Notes:

• Another Slater script! Yes! A classic soap day is what we have today, and I am thrilled about it. The movement and pacing of today's episode felt great. Really great.

That's sad to hear because those episodes are TT's Emmy reel.

That is a fantastic story idea! I would've been glued to that.

Anita asks Bill to be co-executor to her will and co-trustee of her estate?

Are you kidding me? I'm sorry, but that is just ridiculous, and I don't even feel the need to explain why.
