I know we can't have these types of episodes every day, but I think today was the best BTG episode they've produced so far. Now, let's hope there's some real fallout from all of this.

What an episode. Sadly I was working while I was watching so I have to do a rewatch which I haven’t done for the show since last year, that’s how much I enjoyed. To get the cotillion, plasma ring, and tornado back to back like this has given the show the absolute jolt that it needed.

Gotta admit, I haven't enjoyed an episode this much in a while.

Great job, to everybody involved in it 👍👍

I. Was. Riveted.

I haven't seen this level of soapy goodness and intrigue in over 20 years. Seriously. I realize that group scenes with a lot of cast members is a logistical challenge (perhaps technology has eased the strain) but the payoff can be worthwhile when the execution comes off as well as today's episode did.

I have a suspicion of where I believe Eva is headed but I think I might keep that suspicion to myself.👀

As for Dani and Bill, what if the doors should suddenly open? I guess we shall see. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Seeing some vulnerability in Anastasia was a good touch. She's a character I would really like to know more about, especially after that odd scene where (I think?) Martin was kind of slack-jawed when he heard she had donated to his campaign and Vernon (if I remember correctly?) kind of chuckled. I wondered whether Anastasia's family may have had history with Vernon's family that spans generations.

I wonder if this was a one-off between Hailey and Kyle? Those scenes were interesting at least and it was a nice touch to tap into Kyle's party boy past, while showing a playful side of Hayley. And it was cool to try to figure out whether Hayley was sizing up another 'mark' or looking for a lover on the side.

The execs and producers by now, would have figured out that Wednesday and Thursdays have been some of their lowest rated episodes, so it seems they are at least making attempts to try to shift that dynamic and that's a good thing.

It's been a looooong time since I have been keen to "tune in tomorrow" and find out what happens next but I probably won't wait until Saturday or Sunday, I might actually tune in tomorrow.

Very good to hear. I am looking forward to sitting down for the crossover.

Oh I bet I know your suspicion cuz if it is what I think it is (and long debated and discussed) heads will explode. ;)

Karla on instagram today says, if you can, watch on a big screen with surround sound!

Oh?

The biggest thing about having some of the Y & R characters crossing over to me is that it shows that BTG is too Dupree centric with very few of the characters not being related to one another.

Hayley was her most interesting these past two episodes because she was interacting with someone new and who she had chemistry with. I would welcome the Bill/Dani hook up as a welcome chance of Hayley canceling her poisoning and divorcing him and demanding money. Then she leaves BTG and comes on over to Y & R. This wouldn't be the first time that happened and I think Hayley would thrive over at Y & R.

The Diane and SPS/Leslie scene was pretty good... Jack and Joey getting along with one another was interesting.. Chelsea/Abby had good friendship chemistry.. Dani/Diane bonding over modeling was good.. Victor/Vernon/Anita had good scenes with one another.. and Martin/Kyle had a good scene as well.

What BTG needs are more characters that aren't Dupree's to broaden the canvas. And Lauren needs to cross over since Fenmore's is carrying Chelsea's purse line and a business interaction with her, Chelsea, and Kat would be organic.
