I won't be able to watch until Sunday, but sounds like a good episode.

Haley's wardrobe is beyond awful. Definitely not Fenmore's. Maybe Fenmore's has a rack version.

It was a very good episode. Today's outfit for Hayley is as close to Fenmore's as she can get.

Do we all forget how Lauren used to dress in her teens, 20s, and early 30s... she kind of dressed like Hayley does now LOL She didn't become more tailored into her late 30s/early 40s in her outfits.

-- Why is Jacob so angry with Smitty? Their arguments are ridiculous. Jacob wants to follow his plan, but he doesn't even have one. I wish the writing for this plasma storyline were better.

-- Vanessa is ticked at Nicole and throwing insults at her? Are you kidding me??? Vanessa stays being a whore.

-- And Vanessa wants more job from Golden Corral Casino Mobster Joey? Isn't real estate and escort work enough to fill her tramp day?

-- Production must have seen our complaints about the Airport Mall Caffeine Fix Coffee Shop Atrium set. They blew out the back wall to make it bigger. 😂 Yeah, that'll save it.

-- Madison really thinks she and Chelsea should postpone their wedding -- set for next year -- because of a lawsuit? Are we sure this woman is all there?

-- That lawsuit sounds so ridiculous and frivolous to the max. I do not believe for one minute that Bill Hamilton would recommend settling. Sounds like a lawsuit he could get thrown out in 20 minutes.

Hayley calling Bill's daughters annoying was hilarious.

Vanessa is a trip. She complained about judgement and then flipped the script by judging Nicole for seeing two men. The demand for an apology was totally delusional.

Madison's mother finally got her in big trouble. This might mean that she's actually going to show up.

I'm lost as to how this information is some big breakthrough for Smitty. He took a photo of a screen that has a few names on it, and that's it.

Agreed. How does this list of names mean anything? I think TPTB should have hired a mystery writer as a story consultant for this plasma smuggling plot. A mystery writer could help fill some of the plot holes and make the entire plot a bit less vaguely written. It is not unusual for soap operas to hire story consultants, and often they are even uncredited (although some have been credited).

Story consultants do not take-over the writing of a particular plot, they typically make suggestions up-front. And later, they look over scripts before taping to add detail and authenticity. Since they are contracted for a short length of time, they are no threat to any of the show's contract writers.

So we have a list of lab employees which includes Grayson's name. Is that supposed to be shocking?

BTG could have their cotillion (sp?) off-camera, but I wouldn't advise it. Only John O'Hara knew how to write that way.

I have no idea what that list of names is supposed to indicate. There's no mystery to this plasma plot at all. It's so badly written that I have no words.

And as I've said, I do not understand these arguments that Jacob and Smitty get into. Why is Jacob so angry all the time -- and talking about everything BUT the plasma? We have no sense that he and Smitty have ANY kind of plan.

The entire story is a major fail.

There are so many things I don't understand about the plasma plot, too. (When I was in college in the 1980s, my friends and I were routinely selling our plasma to buy compact discs, lol. If I remember the prices correctly, we could sell a supply of plasma and generate enough cash to buy two CDs) I have no idea what the clinic did with the plasma they collected, nor did it cross my mind to wonder.

Some of the outfits Lauren wears definitely give off Hayley vibes.
