What I Watched Today

(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)

 

General Hospital

At Kelly’s, Josslyn tells Michael that Oscar is going nuts at home. He thinks it’s great how much Josslyn cares about Oscar, and she thinks Michael should follow her example. He should stop being stubborn, and get back together with Nelle.

Nelle calls someone, and asks if they want to grab a bite to eat. She knows it’s late, but she worked up an appetite today.

Carly finds a picture of Morgan in a smashed frame. She hears footsteps, and calls his name. She grabs the bat and gets ready.

Elizabeth talks to a cop, telling him to call for backup and search for Franco. Jordan shows up at the hospital, and at first thinks Franco took someone. Elizabeth says it’s the opposite. Jim took Franco.

Jim pulls the car in somewhere, and takes out the gun.

Carly stands behind the door. A real person is coming up the stairs. The door opens, and she raises the bat.

Michael asks what it will take for Josslyn to abandon her quest? She tells him to make an honest effort to fix things with Nelle. He says funny that she used the word honest. She says they’re having a baby; he should try to make things better. He tells Josslyn they’ve come to an understanding, and are working together for the baby. She says, not for each other, and he insists they’re over. She doesn’t get why he can’t try, since they seem made for each other. He disagrees, and since it’s his life, his vote counts more than hers. They’re never getting back together.

Elizabeth explains what happened, and tells Jordan that Jim had a gun, and he’s wearing scrubs. Jordan says he knows they’re searching for him, so he must have been desperate, sneaking around the hospital. Drew says he was trying to get to Betsy. He was with her and thought she had an episode, but she must have really seen him. Jordan asks how she is, and Drew says heavily sedated. Elizabeth says Jim tried to take off with her and Jake, and Franco showed up. He got in between them, and she and Jake ran. By the time she got back with Drew, they were gone. She tells Jordan that she can’t ignore this just because it’s Franco. Jordan says she’s not. They’re canvassing the area. Elizabeth says Jim tried to kill Franco once before, and won’t hesitate again.

We see the parent of an honor roll student bumper sticker on Elizabeth’s car. Franco is in the trunk. No, he’s not – it’s Jim! Franco says, let’s go; we’re here, and holds the gun on Jim. Jim gets out, and Franco tells him to get up if he wants to live. Boy, am I smiling.

Josslyn sees Nelle, and tells her to sit, leaving to order something. Nelle tells Michael that Josslyn is the most romantic person she’s ever met. He says wait until her first heartbreak, and she says to hell with love. Nelle thinks she’s too optimistic for that. She asks if Michael is still at the MetroCourt. She picked up some gifts, and got him a baby monitor. It covers any place within city range, so he can speak into it on the nights when he won’t be there in person. He says it’s thoughtful of her, and asks if she wants to join them, but Nelle says she’s meeting someone. Brad walks in, and she says, here he is now. Michael looks puzzled.

Carly nearly whacks Sonny in the head. She says she thought he was an intruder, and he tells her that he didn’t want her to be alone with the inspector, since she’s been jumpy. He was calling to her; didn’t she hear him? She says she was caught up in this, and shows him the picture.

Jordan says they got the footage from the security cameras. Elizabeth asks if Franco is hurt, but Jordan says they couldn’t tell from the angle. They can see them struggling, but next usable image is them driving away. Scotty shows up, and asks what’s with the cops. Elizabeth tells him that Jim was there, and tried to take her and Jake hostage. Franco intervened, and Jim took him. Drew adds that he took Elizabeth’s car, and Scotty says it careened by him, going toward Beecher’s Corners. Jordan leaves, and Elizabeth asks Scotty if he saw that Franco is okay. He says he doesn’t know about okay, but he was in control. He was definitely driving, and there was no sign of Jim.

Franco throws Jim into the studio. He asks Jim if he remembers how he was so keen to buy the place that brought them together after all these years. Jim asks if it wasn’t condemned, and Franco says, yep; it’s just them. Jim’s favorite painting survived the earthquake without a scratch. Jim says they shouldn’t be there. Franco says he likes it there. In his life, it’s been hard to feel safe, but he feels safe there. He’s done his best work there, and they have work to do. Jim asks Franco, please don’t hurt him again, and Franco promises he won’t, calling him Uncle Jim. He says Jim used to like it when he called him Uncle Jim. Jim says that had some good times; he was a special kid. Franco says Jim has a very dark sense of humor. Jim doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but Franco thinks he does. Jim says he’s sorry it’s come to this. It wouldn’t have happened if he’d protected Franco. Franco asks him to clarify. Jim says when they were in his hotel room, and Franco freaked out. Drew busted in, and Jim got scared, letting his guys take them. He didn’t know what they were going to do, and would have put stop to it. Franco says, that’s enough. That’s not what happened, and not why they’re at the studio. They’re there to talk about what happened on the stairs, when he pushed Andy down and hurt him. He finally remembers what happened. He pushed Andy because of Jim. He tells Jim to talk about what happened before the stairs. Jim says it’s ancient history; why talk about it? Franco says because they’re going to, and when he’s satisfied he’s heard every word Jim has to say, he’ll put him out of his misery. He’s going to keep his promise not to hurt him, but he’s going to kill him.

Franco says, let’s talk what really went on, but Jim says he has nothing to say. Franco says that’s a first; Jim is never at a loss for words. Jim says they’ve already talked about what he did to Andy, but Franco says, not all of it. We see young Franco push Andy. He says, yes, he did it, but why? Jim says Franco knows why, and Franco tells him to pretend he forgot, and explain it. Jim says it’s in his DNA; he was born to hurt people. He terrorized Andy. Betsy needed him there to keep Franco away from him. He asks if Franco remembers what Andy looked like at the bottom of the stairs. We see Betsy finding him. Franco says he remembers better than Jim. Jim whines about seeing Andy so small in the hospital bed. We see Betsy in a bad wig next to Andy at the hospital, and Jim telling her that he’ll take care of Bobby tonight. Franco says he remembers going to bed that night, closing his eyes, and trying to disappear, but he couldn’t. We see Jim coming into his room, and says he knows Bobby is playing possum. He knows Bobby is upset about what happened, so he got him something. He gives him a stuffed toy. Franco says he was in there so many times – when his mom was at work, late at night when his mom was sleeping. He was in the bed, sitting next to him, and would pat the bed spread two times; always two times. One time he even came in broad daylight when his mom was downstairs. Jim calls him crazy. Franco says Jim told him they had to be quiet, so no one would know. Jim says it’s not true. Franco says, it is. The thing that troubles him the most, is that Jim somehow made him think he deserved it. We see Jim telling Bobby not to make trouble for his mom; it’s their secret. Jim says his mom was weak, and he needed a strong hand. Franco says they wouldn’t be there if Jim had just smacked him around. He pushed Andy to save him. He couldn’t let Jim molest Andy the way he molested him. He did that to him, and was going to do it to Andy. That is the truth. Jim calls him nuts, saying it’s a bizarre fantasy concocted to let him off the hook. Franco cries, saying he was just a little kid. Jim used him; fouled him. Now he’s going to say it. He points the gun at Jim. Jim says he’s not a bad man. Franco needed him, and he was there for him. All he ever did was love him.

Brad talks to Nelle about how he and Lucas can’t wait to take home their baby. She asks if the adoption is confirmed, and Brad says he’s worried it will fall through. She tells him to relax; it won’t make the baby come any faster. She says she hasn’t seen Lucas much lately, and Brad says he’s been working a lot, so he can take time later when the baby comes. Lucas calls, and Brad steps away. Michael sits at the table. He tells Nelle that if she’s going to make friends, she can’t do much worse than Brad. I guess he didn’t get the memo that Brad changed his ways.

Scotty tells Elizabeth that the car was going downtown, even though he told the cops it was going in the opposite direction. If Franco was the hostage taker and not the hostage, he didn’t want to alert them. Elizabeth wonders why he wouldn’t get help. Scotty has no idea why Franco does what he does. He probably got upset when Jim manhandled her and Jake. He can’t find Franco, but knows who can – Mac Scorpio.

Jim tells Franco he’s sorry he hurt him. He was a special kid, and they had a bond. Franco asks how many children did Jim abuse? Franco tried hard to stop Jim from doing to Andy what he did to him. One day, he showed up with a baseball mitt for Andy, and he knew Jim wasn’t going to stop. He says don’t tell him it was only one, and Jim says he doesn’t know how many. Franco doesn’t believe him, and Jim says he doesn’t remember. Franco thinks he does. He thinks Jim remembers everything; every little detail like what their favorite cartoons were, and breakfast cereal, and the colors of paint in their bedrooms. He bets Jim remembers every gift he gave every one of them. Jim says he was so special, and Franco says he’s not getting out alive without a full confession. He hands Jim a pen.

Carly tells Sonny she doesn’t know what caused the lights to go out or the noise. She just found the picture. Someone broke it. The same someone who left it there for her to find, but she didn’t see anyone. She could feel someone was in there. Sonny says the earthquake could have broken it, but Carly insists it didn’t. It’s not the first time she’s gotten a message about Morgan.

Sonny says he’ll check the circuit box. Carly says she did that already, and tells him it started with the phone calls. She thought they were thought pranks. At first, they were just hang-ups, then a young guy said, I’m here, and in the last call, she heard an explosion. Dante traced the calls to a pay phone near where Morgan died. She explains that she and Jason went to the police. They talked to a homeless man who said a young guy used the phone a couple of times, but after that, the calls stopped. She tells Sonny about the scarf she found on her desk, and how it was like Morgan used to wear. Sonny wants to see it, but she says he can’t. The fire alarm went off, and when she came back, it was gone. Now this photo. The common thread is their son. Sonny understands why she’d ask Jason, but wonders why she never told him.

Nelle asks Michael what’s wrong with Brad. Michael says he has a questionable past, and Nelle wonders if he knows who he’s talking too. She says he’s been nice to her, and Michael says he’s not telling her not to be friends, just giving her the facts. She appreciates him looking out for her, but says Brad has been nothing but cool. She doesn’t think Lucas would have married him or want to raise a child with him if he wasn’t. And if he’s good enough for Lucas, he’s good enough for her. Michael says it’s her call; he just wanted her to be aware.

Scotty tells Drew that Franco was driving downtown. Drew wonders where Franco would take Jim, and can’t understand why he wouldn’t call the police. Elizabeth thinks there are missing pieces to the story. Drew says if Franco didn’t tell her, he can’t fully remember or can’t share it. She says he’s been bothered by Jim since the beginning. He couldn’t shake it, like the painting of him and Drew when they were kids. Drew says he’s only seen a picture of it. She says for whatever reason, it rattled Franco, and got him thinking about his childhood. Drew asks if the painting is at her house, but she says he didn’t want to look at it. He asks where it is.

Franco makes Jim write a confession. Franco wants to know where Jim took all the kids. He thinks Jim has a spot, so they’re going there. Jim asks what about his confession. Doesn’t he want Jim to go to prison? Franco says the statute of limitations is long expired. Jim asks if Franco is going to let him go, and Franco shakes his head, saying he’s going to kill him. Jim says Franco promised he wouldn’t hurt him, and Franco says he’ll kill him quickly. Jim tells him not to do this. He knows he failed Franco. Franco points the gun at him, saying he deserves to die. Jim tells him to think about the other kids, and if they don’t deserve the same chance to hear him admit what did and see him punished. The only thing Franco cares about is stopping it. Jim says he’ll be in prison, and never be near a kid again. Franco says it’s too risky. The only way to know he’ll never hurt anyone again is to kill him. Jim says Franco will only make him a victim; he’s sick and needs help. Who will he be to the people love him? The guy they love is a cold-blooded executioner. Franco remembers Jim telling him to be a good boy, and points the gun at him, saying, never again. Jim jumps up, and pushes him.

Sonny understands why Carly tells Jason everything, but why not tell him? She says he was already dealing with Mike. She’d thought it would be handled by now. She doesn’t understand any of it, but Sonny says they’ll get through it together, and hugs her.

Nelle tells Brad she’s starving, and he says it’s on him; a token of his gratitude for what she said. He made a bad mistake, and bad choices. Even now, he feels like he doesn’t measure up with Lucas’s family. Nelle says she’s over it. She doesn’t care what people think anymore. He says for what it’s worth, he thinks highly of her, and expects to think even higher when she becomes a mother. She says, back atcha, dad-to-be.

Josslyn heard Michael putting in his two cents about Brad. It shows he cares. Michael says that’s not the same as loving someone. He should have figured that out sooner.

Scotty tells Elizabeth that he’s out of there before Jordan realizes he gave her the wrong information. He’s meeting Mac at Kelly’s. He wonders where Drew went, and Elizabeth says he had someplace to be.

Jim and Franco struggle. The gun flies out of Franco’s hands. They fall to the floor, and Franco grabs for it, but Jim gets him in a headlock. Franco sees Betsy, who’s saying she’s sorry. He sees Elizabeth reaching for him, and Andy giving him the rabbit’s foot. He starts to black out. Jim calls him Bobby, and tells him to go to sleep. He couldn’t leave it alone. It’s his fault. He made Jim do it. He promised not to tell, and he’s a bad boy. A gun goes off, and Jim falls. Drew stands there with a literal smoking gun.

Tomorrow, Lulu wants to take Valentin up on his offer, Sonny says there’s no proof of a scarf, and Drew tries to wake up Franco.

Vanderpump Rules

James calls Kristen an attention seeker, and tells her to shut up. She throws a drink at him, and half of it lands on Lala. James and Lala walk out. James tells Stassi that he hopes she’s happy. If he said something, it was meant as a joke. Scheana says he was apologizing. In her interview, Katie thinks it’s all a waste of energy. Lala asks, who throws a drink? (apparently, Kristen), and Stassi says, who makes things like this up? Lala says, he didn’t, and way to have a civilized conversation. Now she has a drink all over her.

James talks to Raquel, weeping on the phone that he doesn’t know what to do. Tom comes over to talk to him. He asks if there’s something James doesn’t remember, but James says, no. He has nothing to lie about. In his interview, he says they kept poking and prodding.

Stassi orders room service, with balsamic vinaigrette to go with the pizza. In her interview, she explains the five condiments for pizza are: sriracha/ranch, ranch, balsamic, hot sauce, and one time when she was drunk, she used ketchup. I have never once wanted to dip my pizza in any kind of dressing.

Jax says it’s the last night, so they’re turning it up, as the kids say. Then he gets confused, not being sure if it should be turnt. The drinking commences.

James says Jax is running with a sarcastic, bad joke. Lala tells him she’s proud of how he handled himself. She wondered if that really happened, and James calls Kristen stupid. He says she’ll be coming for him now, with a diabolical plan. Lala says Kristen will have to go through her first, and that the two of them are like Eminem (who she calls Em) and Dr. Dre. No one is gangster like them. I feel like I should comment here, but I don’t even know what to say.

Katie says Kristen is making it worse for herself; it’s like Jerry Springer. Kristen complains about what she went through, and in her interview, Katie says it was like a psychotic mental crazy tirade. She says she told Kristen to take a breath. Nip it in the bed, bury it, and move on, but she didn’t listen. Kristen says at least she used a drink and not her fist. Katie tells her it’s pointless. She’s not going to lie and say Kristen did the right thing. She’s making it worse. In her interview, Kristen says Katie is being an a-hole to her, and wonders why this is her fault.

At TomTom, the walls are up, as well as the framing for the office. Ken and Lisa discuss the plans, and Ken says the kitchen won’t be happening for a month. Lisa remembers opening a place in Piccadilly Circus, saying it was a lot of pressure, but wonderful. Tom calls, and tells her that he’s been trying different cocktails, and has his eye on different mescals. She says he can show her when he gets back. He says that the others are interested in checking the place out, and he wants them to see the progress, Lisa says it looks like bomb went off. In his interview, Tom thinks if his friends see the progress as it’s happening, they can have more of a connection to the finished product. Lisa tells him okay, and asks how they’re doing. He says everyone is getting along, and James and Kristen might or might not have hooked up. She says nothing surprises her, and the only recipe Kristen knows, is one for disaster.

Jax wants to call Kelsey and give her an update. His anxiety is high from the trip. Uh-huh. I don’t think I’ve mentioned it for a while, but I hate Jax. With a passion.

Brittany tells Stassi that Jax wants privacy, so he can FaceTime with Kelsey, his Reiki instructor. In her interview, Stassi says if Jax kicked her out for some stupid sh*t called Reiki, she’d hit him with a rake. Brittany says she can only imagine what they talk about. All she knows Is that Kelsey taps on him, and it calms him down, but weed does the same thing.

Jax tells Kelsey that he’s in Mexico. She asks if he’s taking time for himself, like he ever takes any other kind of time. He says it’s utter chaos, and there’s a lot of drinking. He’s trying to steer clear of the drama, but feels attacked by everyone. He has no patience when he’s being attacked. She tells him when that’s happening, to sit for a moment and breathe. When we react to things people say about up, that means a part of us believes it’s true. Jax says he snaps easily, but he’s learning not to. Kelsey tells him to focus on the good stuff. She says Nelson Mandela could have chosen to see the bad happening to him, or what he did, seeing what he’d do afterward. In his interview, Jax says he knows who Nelson Mandela is. He went to jail because he fought for the rights of the providence, or whatever. One of the producers asks what country he’s from, and Jax answers, Africa? His question mark. He does know Nelson is in Oprah’s book club though. Kelsey tells him that he has the power to manifest what he wants. His decision should be to make no decision for the next two weeks. Jax says she always makes him happy. Jax always makes me ill.

Scheana is excited to see Rob. The four days felt like four months. I’ll bet it felt like four minutes for him. Kristen says it’s taking all of her will power not to strangle James. She can’t leave the rumor in Mexico, and has to take it home. Stassi says, adios, Mexico.

Kristen and Carter go to lunch. Carter says he worked and took care of the dogs while she was away. Kristen wishes he’d been there, but is glad she went. She says everything was fine, but James created a rumor. She says she’d walked with him on the beach, and something was said when the guys were at golf. Tom asked James if they’d messed around, and James’s response was, a little bit. Carter says this is pissing him off. When they were first hanging out there was an issue with James. In her interview, Kristen says she’ll never live it down, and it will always be in the back of Carter’s mind. We flash back to when she claimed to have made out with James, and he said they had sex, just after she met Carter. She says she has no credibility, but she would never jeopardize her position with him. He tells her not to put herself in these positions; her track record doesn’t speak highly of her. He says he’s going to have a chat with Tom, and Kristen insists there’s no cheating going on.

Everyone is back at SUR, and I love Lisa’s blouse so much. It’s a white, button-down in a pirate/price style, and the sleeves are poufy on the bottom half. She asks Lala what happened to her lips, and if it’s permanent. Lala says, no. She sucks on a bottle cap to get the effect, but she did it for too long. She shows Lisa a picture of what she looked like before the swelling went down, and her lips are cartoonishly huge. It’s like when all the kids were trying to look like whatever Jenner/Kardasian that was. Lisa tells her it’s ridiculous. She asks how the trip was, and Lala says she had the best time. She tells Lisa that they went in on Jax at dinner because he’s an effing idiot. He wants to move Brittany to Florida to do social media for a hockey team. In her interview, Lisa says Jax talks a lot, and she doesn’t pay much attention. He also said he wanted to be a bartender, and he couldn’t do that either. Lala promises not to look like a duck when they open.

James sets up to DJ, and tells Raquel it feels good to be back. He’s nervous about tonight, wondering who’s coming to mess him up, considering what happened in Mexico. Now that he’s sobered up, he wouldn’t go near Kristen with a ten-foot pole. He got drunk, but he didn’t cheat. He does a sound check.

While driving to work, Brittany tells Jax she misses Mexico. He says they just have to pay for the trip now. She asks if he’s put any more thought into the Florida job. He says Kelsey told him not to think for two weeks. You’d think it wouldn’t be that hard for him not to think period, but he says it’s hard not to think about his dream job. Brittany hopes he’s including her in the thinking. He says it would be good for both of them. They’ll make more money, and the cost of living is lower. Brittany wants to make sure he’s thinking it through, and he says it’s a good opportunity. In her interview, Brittany says her close friends are there, and she has a great job. She’s comfortable there, and it’s unfair, considering the things she’s given up for him so far. He asks if Adam, her boyfriend, will be there tonight. Brittany laughs his remark off, saying Adam is a nice guy. Jax tells her there’s no such thing. In his interview, Jax says no matter how innocent, he doesn’t know what Adam is thinking, and he needs to know his role is twenty steps behind Jax. Brittany is like, Jax, please, but likes that he’s jealous.

Katie is waiting for Stassi, who’s planning a party for her. She took a break from her beauty blog to plan the wedding. She’s throwing a party to impress those seriously networked in beauty industry. Stassi arrives, and they make a list. Stassi asks if Katie has talked to Kristen. Schwartz forgot about that, and Stassi says it was made into a bigger deal than it should have been. Katie says it might not be true, but at the end of the day, who cares? Stassi says Kristen is trying so hard to disprove it, it’s looking true. In her interview, Stassi says if she caught Patrick with an ex in Mexico, she’d plan a murder for two years from now, so she didn’t get caught. She’d make an ice pick out of actual ice, stab them, and let it melt. No one would know how they were murdered, because there would be no weapon. That’s ingenious.

Scheana tells Lisa her divorce is final. Lisa asks if she’s marrying Rob, and Scheana says she hopes so. They’ve talked about it, and he likes Madison as a name for a girl. She says they’ve been looking at houses. Lisa tells her to take her time: she’s been divorced less than a week. In her interview, Lisa says Scheana should wait for the ink to be dry before picking out baby names. Maybe she should wait for Rob to be interested in getting married. Scheana tells her about the sort of set-up with Brittany and Adam, and how Jax is pissed. She admits she did it partly because he’d been talking about her and Rob. The one time Jax actually told the truth. It figures. In her interview, Lisa says Scheana is treading a dangerous line. Jax has no morals, but has a huge ego. This could go horribly wrong. Scheana says, mission accomplished.

SUR is packed. James spins his music. Lala says she got out early just for this. Jax says he had great time. Ariana says, her too. Jax wants to talk to Adam, and says he’ll be right back. In his interview, Tom says if someone was aggressively pursuing Ariana, he would confront them. Yeah, well, the key word there is aggressively. This guy doesn’t even seem like he’s pursuing her at all. Jax asks Adam how he is. In his interview, Jax wonders why he’s even there, since he’s not scheduled to work. Adam asks how the trip was, and Jax says, amazing. He says, so, he hears Adam has a crush on his girlfriend.

Adam says, not at all, and Jax doesn’t know what to do. He messes with the chair, trying to make it higher, and then decides to stand, no doubt psychologically making himself bigger. This is too funny. He says he’s not against Adam; he’s a nice guy. Scheana came in, thinking he and Brittany had broken up, and said Adam had a crush on her. That’s fine; he’s not mad, but wants Adam to understand they’re together. Adam says, that’s understood. Adam explains that one night when they were having a drink at Jax’s place, Scheana texted him about going out with them as a group. This gets Jax really steamed. In his interview, he says he had no idea Scheana was trying to hook Brittany up in his own house. He says he wishes Adam had pulled him aside. He tells Adam that he has a home; he has a family. He has dogs. I’m dying here. Not that I don’t think of my dogs as family – I’m the worst – but Jax. Omg. He says this isn’t a candy cane relationship. What? What does that mean? Is that what you have on winter break? He’s more mad at Scheana than Adam, and says Scheana is a shady-ass with no leg to stand on. It’s like the madder Jax gets, the less coherent he gets. He says Scheana is tailgating Rob. He wants to put a nail in his head when hears about him. Well, that we agree on. He says he’ll deal with it; it’s not Adam’s problem.

Things are rocking at SUR. Ariana gets on the bar and pours shots. She’s going to make a lot of money tonight, and plans on diving into a bed of it like Scrooge McDuck. Tom talks about how hot she is. Some of the girls are off the clock, and go to the bar. Jax tells Brittany that she needs to talk to Scheana, and tells her what Adam said. Brittany says she didn’t know about it, but Scheana was just trying to make her feel better. Jax asks if he’s supposed to be okay with that, and she says noting came from it. Brittany tells him to calm down. In her interview, she says Jax is spiraling out of control. Get out of the way. The Jax train coming. She tells him to talk to Scheana.

Ariana asks James where the pillows came from by the hot tub in Mexico. He says he was so drunk, he asked to sleep out there. We flash back to Jax telling Brittany to look at the pillow. James says he was the only on in the hot tub. Schwartz was talking, and Kristen was listening to music. In his interview, he says Jax knows this will take the weight from him. He says Jax threw him under bus, and took it too far.

Jax comes over, babbling to Scheana about Adam. He says she brought him into his home for a set-up. She says it wasn’t a set-up. He says she can’t keep a husband, and she’s going to tell him how to run his life. Scheana says she just wanted Brittany to get a confidence boost after it got knocked down. In her interview, she says she’s Brittany’s friend and has the right to set her up to have a good time, flirt, or whatever. Jax effed up. Britanny did not. Karma’s a bitch. Katie says Kristen isn’t the only person who needs to grow up, and tells him to shrug it off.

James accuses Jax of spreading the rumor about him and Kristen, and he did it about Faith. He says he didn’t, but Lala insists he did. Lisa and Ken come in. Jax calls Tom over. Lala suggests he not do this in front of Ken and Lisa. Lisa says it would be nice if he acknowledged her. In his interview, he says he’s sorry he didn’t roll out the red carpet. He tells Lisa that he’s tired of them flipping the effing script on him. He starts getting louder and weird, saying, eff you, all you lying sh*ts. Lala tells him that he puts his peepee in anything that walks, and he whines it’s not fair. In her interview, Lisa wonders why choose to have a meltdown in the place that’s paid your bills for so long? Jax starts giving the finger, calling everyone lying sacks of sh*t. Now he’s giving the finger with both hands. Lisa can’t believe it, and tells him she’s never had an employee speak to her the way he does, and this is her place of business. She says he’s being arrogant, obnoxious, and acting like a baby. She’s not listening to him, and tells him leave.

Tom tries to calm Jax down. Lisa has nothing more to say, and Brittany says you can’t be screaming at your job. Jax gets pissed at Tom, saying that he’s being buddy-buddy with James. He goes nuts, pulling his mic off, and saying he’s out of there, and that everyone is delusional. Tom asks if he’s not supposed to be James’s friend. Jax stalks off, banging the side of a phone booth as he stomps down the street. Wow. I hate Jax, but that was fun.

Next time, Katie’s blog party, Carter confronts Tom, and Jax tells Brittany that she deserves better. YOU DO! RUN! NOW!

🎭 Wow…

Well, those were two ends of the TV spectrum.
