Thoughts:
Tyrell flat-out pulling an Andy Sachs with "they look the same" was hilarious. But it was very sweet of him to tie Martin's tie.
I love that despite being dressed up and ready to go for the fundraiser, Dani still wants to eat some potato chips. An absolute mood.
Vanessa wanting to explore her kinks before the event. I love that for her.
So now Mona is doing some fundraising for the church? At Orphey Gene's. And not Dana showing up like she's Lamadonna.
Jacob is coming undone. Absolutely undone. He needs to lighten up a bit. Driving himself into work, fueling his anger, is not going to help him one iota. And Ren is the last one he should be going to, especially if his leads continue to lead nowhere.
Poor Martin is all wound up. Hopefully his nerves will ease, and he will be fine once the event is fully underway!
I love how much Anita and Vernon are there for their family and, in this case, Martin.
Mona, instead of being snobbish, perhaps be grateful that your one-time friend showed up to support your Holy cause.
Not Dana eavesdropping on Samantha's and Tyrell's conversation. And not Samantha grilling about Tyrell's first time and his relationship with Jessica.
Naomi's shock at it being Dani's idea to go check in on Ashley was mine, too. And it shows some growth in Dani.
So, Jacob is just going to skip the fundraiser? Damn. I feel like that is going to be another mistake in his rolodex of mistakes.
I really love seeing how supportive Bradley is of Martin in his bit of doubt. So happy to see that they overcame the hurdles they faced last year.
Okay, Victor Newman is arriving in the Newman Enterprises helicopter! Very Victor of him. I love it.
Oh my! A colonnade room mention! I miss the colonnade room, but the country club ballroom is the next best thing!
Dani's idea of inviting Ashley to the fundraiser with Naomi is such a good idea. And I hope it does uplift her spirits.
I get the sense that Joey did have a lot of love and admiration for his sister. I hope it is genuine. Not Jacob showing up after talking to Ren. This is not going to be good.
Davit Azarian? An interesting cover name, but not going to lie, kind of wish Davit did exist. Not Jacob making an offer to Joey. Lord. The hold he has over Fairmont Crest is insane.
I do hope that Nikki makes the visit to Fairmont Crest next time! I would love to see her and Anita discuss music with each other and compare notes.
Dana, how did you get so many damn zeros on that cheque? There is no way you have that much money.
Mona's look of disgust at her God giving Dana the go-ahead with construction on her 'shouse' to continue.
Good girl, Vanessa, catching on about Heather and the Impaler all in one. She is catching on. But Joey cloaking Heather's desire to go into business for a male-perceived Impaler.
Victor giving Martin the seal of approval by telling him to call him Victor is a big step. Major. And the glaze over of meeting Bradley, too. 😍
Not the bad omen. Things are about to get interesting and yes Vernon, it will be one for the history books!
Notes:
Montgomery and Brown were the best choices to kick off this four-day event. A breakdown writer who was, at some point, the continuity producer and paired with their strongest scriptwriter. A match made in Heaven.
Jeresa Featherstone and her team did an outstanding job with the fashions in today's episode. Just like with the cotillion, these kinds of group events are where they really shine.
Shout-out to the makeup team for the scar on Tamara Tunie's (Anita) chest. Very realistic, and good on Anita for showing it off.
I appreciate the effort made for Eric Braeden's arrival as Victor. A helicopter on the lawn of the country club's entrance, with lightning in the sky. Very impressive.
