What I Watched Today

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

 

General Hospital

Griff and Kiki are sleeping, when there’s a knock at the door. It’s Ava.

Sonny goes to the station. Carly comes out, and he asks if she’s ready to be sprung. She says he has no idea.

Michael visits Nelle, who pretends to be meditating. She tells him the nurses suggested it to ward off panic attacks. She’s had PTSD since she was pushed down the stairs.

Josslyn and Oscar look at the video from the show. She thinks Trina will like it, and Oscar says his mom will too.

Kim and Drew have coffee at Kelly’s. He’s sorry that he couldn’t give her a ride back from the hospital. Although if her date hadn’t bailed on her, she wouldn’t have needed one.

Alexis’s doorbell rings. It’s Julian with a bouquet of calla lilies.

Sonny asks for privacy. Carly can’t wait to get home. He gives her some Corinthos coffee, and she tells him, bless you. She asks about the baby, who’s fine, and Nelle, who’s recovering. Sonny asks how she’s doing, and she says she’ll be better when she proves she didn’t push Nelle.

She asks what’s going on with the case, and he says Diane is picking up some court clothes for her. She asks how Mike is, and he tells her about him going to the Ball with Stella, who’s filling in until they get a permanent caregiver. Carly knows Mike must be loving every second. Sonny says it’s the happiest he’s ever seen Mike. He even sang at the Ball. It was good until he lost the words, but Sonny got up there and helped him out. Carly is surprised Sonny sang, and he says, it wasn’t great. She says she has to see the video, and he tells her it’s good to see her smile again. She takes his hand, and asks if Michael was there. Sonny says no, and he hasn’t heard from him. Carly says, radio silence with his parents. It’s what Nelle wanted.

Michael asks if Nelle doesn’t want to leave the hospital, and she says she can’t hide forever. He tells Nelle that he’ll give her a ride, but she tells him the paperwork could take a while. He says that gives him enough time to do something he’s been dreading. She says he wouldn’t be him if he didn’t go see his mom.

Josslyn tells Oscar that she’s freaking out. What if her mom was angry and so far gone, she really did hurt Nelle on purpose. He asks if that’s what she thinks. She doesn’t want to, but Carly was out of control at the shower. She wants to talk to her, but doesn’t know what to say. Oscar promises they’ll figure it out.

Kim tells Drew that Julian bailed with good reason; he was making sure Alexis was okay. She encouraged him. Drew says the problem is, he went. Kim asks if it’s better to stay, even if you want to be somewhere else. Drew doesn’t think she should settle for being runner-up. She deserves better. She says, so does he.

Julian tells Alexis that he wanted to make sure she was hanging in there. She says she’s fine. He doesn’t need to worry, and can go. He says there’s something he’d like to say. He thinks he helped her in some capacity last night, and now it’s her turn.

Ava knocks on Griff’s door, and calls his name. She knows he’s not at the hospital, the gym, or having breakfast, so this is the one place left; his room. Since I guess he couldn’t possibly have been anywhere else. She asks him to please open the door. Kiki grabs up her clothes, and Griff pulls on his pants. Ava asks him, please don’t shut her out. He answers the door, and she sees the champagne. She says it looks like he had a rough night.

Ava says she wouldn’t blame him if he left her in the hallway after last night. She was being petty and jealous. After she had some time to calm down and clear her head, she sees how completely out of line she was, so she came back, but he didn’t answer. She understands. She looks at the champagne bottle, and says he polished it off. He must have one heck of a headache, and it’s her fault. She’s sorry. She was angry and said things she didn’t mean. She wishes she could take it back about him and Kiki. She’s embarrassed and sorry. Give her another chance.

Kim tells Drew it’s her own fault. She went in with open eyes. She knew Julian was still hung up on his ex. She was lonely. She says she feels like a PSA. She knows he has no memory of who he used to be, but she sees it sometimes; the old him. Drew says hopefully, she won’t be using the word old much longer. He’ll be just him.

Julian tells Alexis that she doesn’t deserve to be tossed away like that. Alexis asks, what about Kim? She didn’t deserve to be ditched. He says it’s a different situation. He tells Alexis that she deserves unconditional love, someone who puts her first, a man who’d lay down his life for her. She says that would be nice, but it can’t be him.

Diane apologizes to Carly for her accommodations; she’s been all over the DA, and trying to make it go faster. Sonny says she’ll be sleeping in her own bed tonight, but Diane says, don’t count on it. They’ve gotten a full boat of bad. There’s no proof about the altercation over the baby blanket, and the new DA wants to eradicate all crime in the northern hemisphere. She changed her name to Corinthos, and now is not the time for that connection. Sonny says he’ll put pressure on some people he knows, but Diane says if he works the system, he could bring down the system on Carly. Nelle has her supporters too. Monica is on her side. Carly says it’s payback; Monica has never forgiven her for Michael. Raising her grandchild as a Quartermaine; it’s Monica’s favorite day of the year. Diane says she should worry less about that than going to prison. Michael walks in, and asks to talk to his mother alone. He wants her side of the story.

Julian says people change, and Alexis asks if now that he runs a legitimate business, it makes everything okay? He says he’s changing because of her. They stroll down Memory Lane about when they met at a dive bar.

Drew tells Kim that he needs to be him for his kids. She thought it was impossible without the flash drive, and Drew says, so did he. He talked to the doctor who did the procedure, and he thinks he can erase Jason’s memories from his mind. Kim asks if he doesn’t have to put Drew’s memories back. Drew says, not necessarily. It’s like she said, some of his personality pokes through. It leads him to believe he’s still in there somewhere. Andre isn’t as convinced, but admits it’s possible. He has flashes of recognition; he felt like knew her. Kim says that’s far from proof, and the risks are enormous. He needs to do this. He need his kids to know who he is. He wants to give them advice from his own memories.

Griff tells Ava that he just can’t dismiss the fight; things got ugly. She says she allowed her insecurities get the better of her. She was convinced that she couldn’t be the good person she was trying to be, and tried to sabotage the relationship. She sang the song just to be spiteful to everyone, even him. She’s not proud of it. She’s scared of losing him and being hurt, so she hurt him first. She knows apologizing isn’t enough, but it’s all she has right now. Can he forgive her, or is it too late? Kiki is practically having a heart attack in the bathroom.

Nelle flips through Josslyn’s pictures of the Ball. Josslyn asks how she feels, and Nelle says, battered and bruised, but the baby is a total rock star. Josslyn gives her a stuffed lamb for the baby, and hopes it cheers her up. She says it’s the least she can do, and Nelle says it’s not Josslyn’s fault she got hurt. Josslyn says she was on her way to see her mom, and ended up there. She wants to know what happened. Nelle says she’s sorry about all this. She knows how close Josslyn is with her mom; she’s sure Josslyn freaked out when she heard Carly pushed her. Josslyn says, it wasn’t an accident? Nelle says, no, but she never wants Josslyn to turn her back on her mother; she should be with her and not Nelle. Josslyn asks how she can say that after what Carly did. Nelle says Josslyn is her friend, and she cares about her.

Diane tells Sonny that calling it an uphill battle is an understatement. Sonny says at least Carly will make bail, but Diane says, don’t count on it. She’s facing two counts of attempted murder, and she’s married to him. There’s no proof Carly’s version is correct. Sonny says he doesn’t think it is. Diane says she doesn’t either. She thinks Carly is way more out of control than she’s willing to admit.

Michael tells Carly he talked to Jason, and there were things going on he didn’t realize; stuff with Morgan. Carly asks if he told Michael that Nelle was behind it. Michael says Jason told him that’s what she believes. Carly says, and Jason. She’s a master manipulator, and she’s really good. He asks what happened at the shower. She says she went with the best intentions, but Nelle kept taunting her over and over. She’d even registered for a penguin mobile – Michael interrupts, saying he knows, Morgan’s favorite – Carly says, but she didn’t stop there. She kept bringing up his name, and she lost it. Nelle went off in tears, and Carly pulled it together to apologize. She followed Nelle upstairs, and suggested a truce. Nelle’s eyes were cold, but that wasn’t as disturbing as the blanket she was holding. It was exactly like Morgan had when he was a baby. That’s when Carly knew it was her, and told her that. Then Nelle started taunting her, telling her that she was losing control. Carly said she was going to tell Michael everything, and Nelle stormed out with the blanket. She found Nelle at the top of the stairs, and grabbed the blanket. When Nelle grabbed back, she lost her balance. Carly didn’t even touch her, and that’s God’s honest truth.

Griff tells Ava not to ask for his forgiveness. She asks if it’s insurmountable. She knows he can’t tell her that he loves her. She sits with him and takes his hand. She says she feels he loves her. She doesn’t need to hear the words. She was pretty mad when she saw them together, and once again jumped to the wrong conclusions. It was completely ridiculous. She and Kiki have had issues, but were working back to a good place. Kiki and her sister are the best things she’s ever done, and she knows Kiki wouldn’t betray her. She loves them, and it makes her happy that Griff gets along with Kiki. She promises not to let her demons take over. Griff tells her to stop. There’s something she needs to know. Kiki panics.

Michael tells Carly that Nelle claims there was never any blanket, and it was never found. Carly says between Spinelli and Jason, they’ll prove it, and that Nelle was responsible for the incidents involving Morgan. Nelle wanted her to lose it. She walked into it; that’s on her, but she would never endanger her grandchild, his child. She already loves it as much as she loves him. She says he’s the fairest person she knows, and knows he’ll keep an open mind. Michael tells Carly that he loves her, and leaves.

Sonny asks Michael how it went. Michael says he has to get back to the hospital. He tells Sonny to take care of mom, and Sonny says, that’s the plan.

Nelle tells Josslyn to please not blame Carly. She’s not feeling well, and deserves compassion, not anger. Josslyn says she was so awful at the shower, and Nelle says that was even the half of what she said when they were alone. She tells Josslyn that she shouldn’t be talking about it; she doesn’t want her to be upset. Josslyn says it’s too late for that; tell her the truth. Nelle says it wasn’t so much the words as the look in Carly’s eyes when she pushed her. It was as if she wanted Nelle and the baby gone forever from her and Michael’s lives. She thinks Carly is having a breakdown, which is good, since she can get the help she needs and get better. Josslyn can’t believe it. Nelle says there’s some good news. She thinks the whole ordeal brought her and Michael closer together. Josslyn says, like back together, and Nelle says, not yet, but she has the feeling that’s where they’re headed.

Kim asks Drew, what if something goes wrong? Drew says she can stuff him and make him into a hat rack. Kim doesn’t think it’s funny. Oscar wanted a father his whole life, and could lose him. They have a real relationship; don’t take it away from him. Oscar walks in, and Drew asks if his ears were burning. Drew tells him that he crushed it at the Nurses’ Ball. Oscar has something awesome to tell him.

Alexis tells Julian it reminds her of a time when she had control, and the world was her oyster; she could do what she wanted. He says, like meeting a sophomore college guy in a dive bar? She remembers that he said she was the kind of woman Botticelli would paint. Then they made out in the back seat of his car. He says, so much for romance. He says he fell in love with her that evening – and never fell out. He tells her to keep the calla lilies to remind her of how beautiful and brilliant she is. The world will always be her oyster.

Alexis kisses Julian, and he says, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. She says, it’s always a bad thing. She needs him to go. Don’t follow her. Don’t comfort her. She needs him to leave.

Ava tells Griff if they can get through last night, they can get through anything. His phone pings, and it’s a text from Kiki: don’t tell her. He says he needs to get ready, and he’ll be in touch. Ava says they’ll work it out. She kisses him, and leaves. Kiki comes out, and asks if he’s okay. He says, no. I can just imagine – dealing with the guilt, worrying that Ava will find Kiki in the bathroom, and a hangover. He tells Kiki that he hates lying. She respects his intent to be honest, but Ava can never know they slept together. It would destroy her. He doesn’t want that, does he? Griff says, of course not, but he can’t pretend nothing happened. Kiki says, he can. He has to, and so does she.

Drew calls Oscar a winning journalist, but Oscar says it’s just one editorial. Kim is thinking maybe an internship at Aurora. He and Drew working together, side by side. Drew says he’ll put Oscar in touch with HR, and the rest is on him. Drew asks Oscar about the school assembly, and Oscar says it’s long and boring. Drew says he’s showing up early and staying late. Oscar tells him to just be in the corner, clapping quietly. Drew says, not a chance. Oscar leaves, and Drew says, that’s my kid. Kim says, it is, and Drew wants to be there to see him grow up.

Outside, Josslyn tells Oscar that she went to see Nelle.

Nelle asks Michael how Carly is, and he says, not looking too good. He confirms that she’s denying pushing Nelle. She told him what happened before Nelle fell, and it was outrageous. He can’t imagine how she’s feeling. Nelle reminds him that he still has the baby – and her.

Diane tells Carly that Spinelli hasn’t been able to recover the blanket or proof there ever was one. Carly tells her to work her magic. Diane says it may be a trick she can’t pull off. She’ll break it down. Carly has a history of violence, and also irrational behavior. Her time in a mental institution is a matter of public record. Carly says Nelle did her own time, and Diane says she’s not the one accused of attacking someone. All of the statements confirm she’s been the aggressor, and witnesses can testify to that. The DA is out for blood, and what the judge and jury will see is that Nelle is a victim. Imagine a waif who was nearly killed by the mob boss’s wife, who pushed her down the stairs. Carly says they won’t believe that lying snake. No way can Nelle send her to prison for ten years. Diane says, try twenty-five.

Julian says he’s not trying to take advantage. He’s just trying to be a friend. Alexis says she doesn’t need him to be. She needs him to go. He leaves, and Alexis paces. She throws flowers across the room. The vase hits the couch, and doesn’t break, so she does it again, and it shatters against the wall.

Kiki asks Griff to please forgive her mother. Don’t throw the relationship away. If he does, he’ll regret it. Kiki leaves, and Griff gives his best worried look ever.

Alexis makes a call. She says she needs to come and see them. It’s an emergency.

Ava is back at Griff’s door. She’s glad he’s still there. She strolls in wearing a trench coat, so I already know where this is going. She tells him that she’d like to finish their conversation without all that talking. She takes the coat off, and she’s nakey in heels. They get busy. I don’t even know what to say about Griff. No more champagne for him.

Michael tells Nelle that he has a quick ELQ meeting, and after that, he’ll be working from home. Whatever she and baby need, he’ll be there. She says he doesn’t have to, but he says he owes it to the three of them. He’s not letting her out of his sight. Hmm… interesting choice of words.

Carly says Jason will prove Nelle set her up. Diane says, should he unearth evidence, it could still work against her. The DA will say she pushed Nelle because she knew Nelle was sabotaging her. Sonny’s instinct is to fight. Hers is too, but let the professionals handle it. If she’s painted as a bad guy, it will be worse for her in court. Diane just wants her to see that fact. Carly wonders if Diane thinks Nelle is right, and she’s losing her mind. Diane says the objective is a good outcome for her. They might be required to compromise. Diane gets a call from the DA, and steps outside. Sonny tells Carly that he’s not her enemy; he’s on her side, but he will not tell what she wants to hear. She says Nelle isn’t taking her down. She’s getting out, and getting her family back – watch her.

Tomorrow, Maxie talks to Mac and Felicia, Carly refuses to pleade insanity, and Nina is done.

Southern Charm

Naomie hates that her roommate has a job, since she’d like him to come to Hilton Head. She’s anxious about seeing Craig. She can’t let him get to her anymore. Wilson thinks she has to remedy the situation. She has to talk to Craig. She says she can’t act like a crazy person forever.

Chelsea calls Kathryn to check in. Kathryn says she’s been hibernating. Her grandmother passed away. Kathryn tells Chelsea that she was almost 94, and a pistol. Kathryn lived at the plantation house with her when she was five. Her grandmother was someone you could be yourself with. Kathryn had a lot of her best memories with her; simple memories of bonding with the family. She’s trying to cope with her emotions, which is difficult for her. Chelsea asks if she’s coming to Hilton Head, and she is. Chelsea thinks it will be good for her to get out.

Ashley tells Thomas if he wants to give her his credit card, she can buy more stuff. He was out to dinner with the guys the other night, and she tells him that she hates boys’ night. In his interview, Thomas says Ashley doesn’t like him going out. He finds her too controlling, but she did move there to be with him, and is somewhat dependent on him. They swing by Gwynn’s, since Ashley needs one of her dresses altered. Thomas wants her to be presentable, since they dress differently in California. I’m just going to get this out of the way. Ashley is a big a-hole. Just the woman Thomas deserves. She says he should be taking her ring shopping – just to get some ideas. He says he’s not going to be pressured into anything. She tells him about Kathryn’s grandmother, and we see a clip of him having dinner there. He says he’ll have to give Kathryn a call, and Ashley says he’s been doing a lot of that lately.

Naomie calls Craig. He’s unpacking. She wonders if she can stop by. He tells her okay, but it’s messy, so don’t judge. In his interview, he says she made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him. He gives roommate Sean a head’s up. Sean says he’s going to hide in his room, and hope he doesn’t hear screams. Craig says, pineapple is his safe word.

Cameran is still pregnant. And miserable. She scarfs Cheez-its and pickles. Shep calls, and she says she’s pretty much housebound, so she’s eating. It feels like being constantly bloated and constipated. She’s bored, since there’s not a lot she can do. She’s been pregnant for too long. She’s forcing herself to take a shower every day so she feels human. He tells her about running into a glass door, but says he wasn’t that drunk. He tells her that they’ll miss her on the trip. She says, while they’re off enjoying themselves, she’ll be at home, googling vaginal tears. She tells Shep to pray for her vag.

Victoria calls Austen asking what time he’ll be back. He says he’ll miss her, and wishes she could come, but she has to work. She asks if he’s talked to Chelsea yet, but he’s waiting for the trip. He doesn’t think it will be a problem, but last time, Chelsea cut him out of her life. He doesn’t want it to happen again. What’s wrong with these people? They have a hard time cutting the cord.

Naomie is on crutches. She brings Gizmo along to visit Craig. Amazingly, for the most part, the cat follows her from the car to Craig’s house. She tells Craig she broke her foot, and I wonder who or what she kicked in a fit of rage. One of the walls is messed up from a demo party, since it’s being torn down. She tells Craig that she brought Gizmo as a peace offering; Gizmo misses him. She wants to get along, and be cordial. He says she’s the one who comes at him, so if she wants it to be nice, she needs to be nice. She’s working on being kinder. He’s proud of her that she recognizes it. Gizmo hisses at her, and she says he’s mad about something, but she doesn’t know what. Maybe he just hates you.

Everyone packs for the trip. Shep puts a bandage on his nose.

Ashley puts some kind of beauty treatment on Tom’s face. She thinks she needs a Louis Vuitton suitcase. He tells her that Kathryn has five of them. If they start getting friendly, maybe she can borrow one. Ashley says Kathryn is a wild card, and she hasn’t received her invite to Saint’s birthday party. She has no respect for someone who couldn’t extend an invitation. In his interview, Thomas says he’s on Kathryn’s side with this one, but if he feels obligated to go, uh huh. He did that a lot in politics. Ashley, who looks like she could fall apart at any second, says if Kathryn is smart, she can be her best ally, but if she’s stupid, she’ll be her worst enemy. If she’s excluded, it will be a problem.

The group sets off in separate cars. Thomas and Ashley; Craig, Austen, Shep, and Whitney; and, Chelsea, Kathryn, Danni, and Naomie.

Shep says he’s broken his nose eight or ten times.

Kathryn says Saint’s birthday party is this Sunday. No one can believe he’s already two.

Ashley says there’s nothing worse than being excluded. If it was their party, and Kathryn was dating someone, she’s sure Thomas would tell her to bring them. He’s like, the more the merrier. In his interview, he says it’s annoying that she can’t drop it. She’s like a dog with a rubber shoe. Ashley says she needs to know he’s hearing her, and he says he absolutely supports her, but he has kids to raise, and wants to be steady Eddie. Whatever that means.

Craig is late, which has started the four of them off late. Craig tells them that he has surgery on Friday. He hurt his hand by trying to stab a butter knife through a wall. Shep thinks he needs some action.

Chelsea says she just got a text from Austen, saying the conversation in their car is painful. She guesses they’re talking again, since they haven’t spoken in weeks. Naomie says she ran into Austen taking Victoria out to dinner.

Craig asks if Austen would ever get back with Chelsea, but that’s a no.

Ashley says she’d have the perfect name if she and Thomas got married – Ashley Ravenel. I’ll bet she writes Mrs. Thomas Ravenel on her notebooks, with hearts all around it. She says she loves him, and he heaves a big sigh. She hopes he sticks up for her if she’s not invited. Or maybe she will be invited. Thomas asks if they all can’t just get along. She is unbelievably annoying.

Naomie says it’s just us four girls – and Ashley. Everyone makes faces like, yuk. Danni pats Kathryn’s shoulder, and says, it will be fun.

Shep points out the sights. He says there’s something idyllic and wonderful about living walking distance from the beach. Mmm… I don’t know about that. Especially during hurricane season.

Chelsea says it was a slow-paced river town, and used to be nothing but woods; it’s more developed now. She says growing up, they didn’t have much, but had a great time. The girls get to the house first. No surprise, it’s a gorgeous place with spectacular views. Thomas and Ashley are next. Chelsea welcomes them. Thomas picks a room. Ashley thinks it’s amazing and romantical. I’m surprised romantical is a word. Ashley follows Thomas, who’s looking for the bourbon. She doesn’t know what to wear for horseback riding.

The guys arrive. Ashley and Thomas have drinks on one of the balconies. Thomas shows Kathryn the room he chose, and Ashley feels blown off. Shep has to explain his nose a million times. Everyone has pizza. The girls sit outside, and Ashley mumbles that she loves being excluded. She whines to Thomas that everyone is wearing flannel, and she didn’t get the memo. She doesn’t know what to wear for riding, and he tells her not the holy pants she has on. He asks if she has riding boots, and she says she’s never gone riding. She starts getting loud, and outside, Chelsea says she needs her calming oils. Naomie says it’s going downhill when you start arguing in front of other people. Kathryn is glad it’s not her anymore.

Chelsea says they should get on the road. They’re taking a ferry to a rustic town where they only use golf carts to get around. The guys are going to play golf, while the girls go riding on the beach. On the ferry, Thomas and Ashley do the Titanic thing. She says it’s the perfect place to propose, and I gag on my gag. Craig tells Naomie he found some contacts, and Naomie insists they’re not hers. He says he was trying to be nice, and they have this weird, but low-key argument about it. Chelsea says it’s hard to not love Craig, and Austen says every time he and Naomie see each other, they hug it out, then fight.

As soon as they dock, Ashley wonders if it’s time to go back. The guys take off for the golf course.’

As he’s driving, Shep says, this is dope, and I cringe. It just seems weird when this group uses words like dope and sick. Shep says he grew up on a golf course. His great-grandfather was a two-time golf champion, and a character in The Great Gatsby was based on his aunt, who was also a golf pro. Golf is in his blood.

The riding leader asks if there are any nervous riders, and Ashley stays up front with her. It’s incredibly beautiful on the beach, with the colors of the sky in the background. Ashley appreciates nothing, as she’s concerned they’re going too fast. I can assure you, fast is not the speed they’re going at. Chelsea asks if they can cantor, and the leader asks if Ashley is ready to feel free. She has to base it off the least experienced rider, since the horses move as a herd. Ashley rains on that parade by wanting to go back. In her interview, Kathryn says Ashley trying to control Thomas is going to buy her a one-way ticket out.

Shep asks Thomas what’s the longest trip he’s been on with Ashley, and he says, four days. Craig asks if he’s spent as much on Kathryn as he has on Ashley, and Thomas says they all cost a lot of money. Craig asks if he always pays for everything, or if she ever offers. Thomas says it’s assumed he’s paying, and he does. Well, he is the rich one. Craig tells him to keep his guard up. In his interview, he says she’s obviously a gold digger. He tells Thomas that he was the only one who said something the last time, and he looks after him. I don’t think Kathryn was being a gold digger, and aren’t they friends now? Thomas says if he discovers a chink in Ashley’s armor, she’ll be on the street in two seconds. In his interview, Craig says she could seal the deal and get pregnant, but Kathryn did it twice, and Thomas still left. I guess birth control is out of the question.

Ashley sits in the back of the golf cart on the way back. There’s a row of seats between her and the others. She whines about being excluded, and then excludes herself. They stop at a restaurant, and meet up with the others. Ashley says she was scared, and is never going horseback riding again. Shep says she survived. They get drinks, and Thomas keeps making double entendres about redheads. Shep gives Craig a thingie that looks like a big hand, so he can hold his drink with his injured one. Chelsea asks if Austen is seeing Victoria. He hems and haws, and I shake my head. He tells her, let’s talk. Ashley asks Chelsea if she got an invitation to Saint’s birthday party, and Chelsea says just today, in the car.

Ashley says Kathryn is quiet, and Kathryn says she’s tired. Ashley says, sorry about her grandmother. The guys get out of there, saying they’re going to get the fire going. Isn’t that the restaurant’s job? Not that I blame them. Ashley says Kathryn has a baby who’s turning two. Thomas tries to lighten the mood, poking at Ashley with the drink thingie. She’s not having it, and he gets the hell out of there too. Ashley wonders if she’s going to be included or not. Kathryn asks why she’s angry, and she says it’s because she doesn’t know why she’s not invited. Is she invited? Yes or no. Kathryn says this isn’t a conversation for the table, and I’m thinking Ashley would do better on the Housewives. Kathryn says they’ll have the conversation when she’s ready – got it? Ashley says, no, she doesn’t get it, and Kathryn suggests she get it if she’s going to be around. If she wants to be invited, don’t talk to her that way. Ashley – who seems like she’s going to explode, and keeps flipping her hair around – says she knows she’s not invited. Kathryn says, then why is she bringing it up? To start something with her? Ashley says in ten years, she’ll still be around, and Kathryn thinks she’s not going to last a month. Ashley says she doesn’t plan on going anywhere, so get used to her. She sees Kathryn’s children more than Kathryn does. Danni tells her to slow her roll, and Chelsea advises her not to use the kids. Kathryn says if Ashley wants her to put her in her place, she’ll effing put her in her place.

To be continued… this is good…

Next time, Ashley whines that she’s done kissing Kathryn’s ass, Chelsea says she can deal with it, the gang goes crabbing, and Shep hates Ashley. Join the club, Shep.

🏃 My Week…

🌞 But…
