-- The cotillion scenes were again well done and played out in a soapy, interesting way. Very good stuff, although I would have had Jessica and Tyrell leave only after Samantha was crowned.

-- I am glad Samantha won, but I also have to side-eye the Dupree takeover at every turn. I actually LOL when one family member after another hit the podium and took over the mic.

-- Good move to keep us wondering why Nicole left in a panic for the hospital.

-- Once again, Deanna showed us why Vanessa is trash. She mentioned going for ice cream to her mother, and 5 seconds later, Vanessa brings up Joey and then takes his phone call. What a mother.

-- I've enjoyed Derek since he was split from Ashley, so I'm not really excited he was killed off. I think that was an easy, obvious choice -- not bold at all. I continue to believe someone in the bad guys crowd should have died. Did I want a dead Lia? Yes.

-- Is Lia going to give up the Impaler, or will we be told she doesn't know who it is? Who was arrested at the warehouse? I hope we get some answers on this plasma operation after we're done with Ashley crying over Derek.

-- Jen Jacob was good in her later scenes, but in the scene where she first saw Derek on the gurney, she was not good at all, and she struggled to come up with tears. Her performance there didn't work for me.

-- Another laugh? Randy jumping out of the cop car and taking off when the shooting started.

Nicole as the Impaler would be among the wildest soap twists of all time lmao.

The way the ballroom scenes were filmed (even the rotation around Tyrell & Jessica) reminded me of some memorable sequences from P&G soaps.

This was a classic P&G party sequence- truly felt like an 80s or 90s “old school” party episode of AW, GL, and ATWT.

She got called to the hospital during yesterday's episode to deal with a patient, so I assume she's likely dealing with that.

But why? I hope there is a good payoff bc it is so odd that she missed everything with Samantha and Martin today

Two predictions:

Jessica will wind up pregnant by Tyrell.

Jason Graham was credited today in the cast list as Doug McBride. One is he alive or will he appear in a dream sequence? Second, could he be The Impaler?

Oh damn.

They should've kept him out. It happens, they're not the first soap to make the mistake though if he turns up alive.

While Derek was bleeding on the warehouse floor, I expected Lia to start frantically scooping up the plasma and pouring it in her purse.

Wish they'd showed the CLOCK when Tyrell & Jessica began making love:

• 10:39 pm -- They take off their clothes.

• 10:41 pm -- The afterglow.

• We've all been there at Tyrell's age 😅

I get a kick out of Nate. Wish he'd spelled her name "Francisco".

Now THAT would be a twist. Maybe her breakup with Ted was more difficult on her than we were shown, and she secretly began moonlighting her way up the ladder in the illicit plasma business, trying to fulfill the empty part of her soul that Ted took when they broke up. 🤷🏻‍♂️

RIP

We all know Derek could not read. #RIP #onelove
