What I Watched Today

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

 

General Hospital

Curtis comes out from the secret passage at Wyndemere. He tells Sam that she was right; it’s a damn maze. He didn’t find anything, and wants to come back check the stables. Sam says Peter isn’t there, but she found something that might put them on the right track. She shows him an invoice, and says Valentin has a charter service for a plane. She can’t think of a better way for Peter to get out.

Nina tells Valentin that she’s heard you shouldn’t make important life changes if you’re under stress, but if they stay married, she’ll be under stress for the rest of her life. She wants a divorce. Valentin says he’d give her the world, but not that. She asks what he means, and he says he’s not giving up without a fight.

Doc says Alexis must have opened the envelope, and asks if it held the answers to what she’s looking for. She says, not exactly. It was the watch Mikkos gave to her mother. Doc can’t imagine that was helpful. He asks what it told her, and she says, a lot. Just not the way she was expecting.

Elizabeth asks Sarah who told her that she was getting married. She says, he’s pretty amazing all right. Always full of surprises.

David finds Kiki in the locker room. He says he just heard about the article in the paper. It’s disturbing that she should be going through these things at all, not to mention within the walls of the hospital. He tells her that he’s available if she needs someone to talk to. She says she’s good. She starts to leave, but he blocks her. She tells him to get out of her way. He says not until they clear something up.

Mary Pat says GH is a fine institution, and asks Jason why he wants to leave to join the team at Ferncliff. He says he heard there were more available hours, so he can work more shifts and make more money. She appreciates his honesty, and says they do have problem keeping custodians. He’ll be mixing with patients who are seriously disturbed. She asks if that’s a problem, and he says, no. She tells him, working with the mentally ill, slash criminally insane, isn’t for everyone. He says, a mess is a mess, no matter where it is, and it’s his job to clean it up.

Carly opens her eyes to see Rupert watching her.

Nina says Valentin is a piece of work. He says she loves that about him. He refuses to accept it’s the end of the road, and she says he should have thought about that before lying for the ten thousandth time. She’s tired, and it should be easier. He says he made a terrible mistake; he doesn’t disagree with that, but he doesn’t agree to a divorce. She says it’s a no-fault state. He says it’s only no-fault if neither one contests it. She says she’ll file on grounds then. He says he hasn’t been abusive, but she disagrees. He’s lied to her. He betrayed his wife’s trust. It’s cruel, and nothing could hurt worse.

Alexis tells Doc that Valentin promised clarification on what kind of man her father was, and gave her the watch. Doc asks what his intent was. She says when she went to Wyndemere, he was listening to a recording of her mother singing. Doc asks if she thinks he was goading her to provoke a reaction, but she has no idea why he does what he does. He even gave her a picture of her mother. She doesn’t trust him, but to have those things… She has nothing of her mother’s, and it was nice to hear her voice. The picture is of an unguarded moment, and she looked like she was just living her life. She has few memories of her mother doing that. Doc asks about the watch, and Alexis says it made her feel uneasy, but she doesn’t know why. She stared at it for thirty minutes, and had a realization. She has so few memories of her mother, yet her mother’s choices changed her life in ways she never even considered.

David tells Kiki that there are rumors going around, and some people assume he’s the doctor in question. It would benefit both of them if she cleared up that misunderstanding. She tells him to cut the crap. It is about him, and she’s the one who filed the complaint. It’s gone on long enough. He tells her the suggestion of misconduct could cost a man his career; he could lose his job over mixed signals. Kiki says she calls it harassment. Someone has to stop him or the cycle will never end. He says, and she’s that someone? She tells him that he’s right again. She’s also exploring legal action. The rumors are the least of his problems.

Franco says he was going to tell Elizabeth that he called her sister. Elizabeth says she’s not upset, but it’s pointless to reach out. Sarah is too busy to fly out, which is what she expected. He asks if she’s disappointed, and she says she’s used to it. He asks why she didn’t tell her sister that she was getting married, and she says she didn’t not tell her. It wasn’t intentional; they just haven’t spoke for a while. He says she needs to tell him what’s going on.

Mary Pat asks Jason if he has any questions. He doesn’t think so. She suggests she give him the tour, so he can see what Ferncliff is all about.

Carly slips into sleep. Rupert says, see you around, Caroline. When he’s gone, she whispers that her name is Carly.

Mary Pat tells Jason that this is the wing for particularly violent offenders. She asks if cleaning it is a problem, and he says he’d like to see it first. She likes his attitude. She tells him most of the patients there are in solitary. He asks if that’s on the doctor’s recommendation, but she says, mostly hers.

Sam tells Curtis that it must have been done at the last minute; there’s no flight plan. He says, even if Peter was on the plane, they can’t tell where he was headed. Sam thinks knows someone who can help. She calls the charter service, and says she’s Nina. She has some questions about her husband’s account.

Nina tells Valentin that she doesn’t blame him for her brother’s death; she blames him for lying. One of the reasons she fell in love with him, was because he trusted her instincts, and believed in her when no one else did. She told him something was off with Peter, and he was too close to Maxie. He made her doubt herself. He says he didn’t want her to see the worst thing he’d done; it crushes him to disappoint her. He insists the marriage isn’t over. She says she’s not giving second chances (even though this would be like, the fourth or fifth). If he won’t agree to the divorce, she’s prepared to take action. He suggests they make a deal. He’ll have thirty days to prove himself to her. If he’s successful, there will be no divorce. If he fails, he’ll sign whatever she wants.

Alexis tells Doc that her mother knew exactly who Mikkos was. He was dangerous, and married to someone dangerous, yet she chose to stay there. Doc says maybe she had no other options, but Alexis says she did. She was on the verge of a successful career. Doc says maybe she was in love. Alexis says he killed her mother, and almost killed her. Doc asks if she sees a parallel, and she says, a glaring neon one. She seeks out bad men, and can’t stay away. She is her mother. She wonders what’s wrong with her; if it’s in her DNA. Is she hard-wired for it, or did she just see the example of her parents? Doc says he’s ready to explore it if she is.

David tells Kiki her case will never make it to court. She says, wait and see, and he asks, what grounds? She says a revolting one. He says he helped her get into med school. She brings up his saying he’d give her a better evaluation if she had sex with him. He says it was a joke, and she says what about the massage and the kiss. He says, big deal; he got the wrong message. This is the real world. Things happen when people work closely together; grow up. She says it was completely inappropriate. If he thinks otherwise, he’s delusional. He tells her to file her ridiculous suit. He can’t wait to see how she handles the fallout. How does she think her peers will feel when she goes public? Any male doctors will be uncomfortable sticking their neck out for her, or even bringing her coffee. They’ll be living in constant fear that their actions will be misconstrued. If she goes ahead with it, she’ll be killing her career before it starts. Griff comes out of nowhere, and grabs David, saying, that is enough.

Elizabeth doesn’t know how to explain it to Franco. It’s just not where they are. Her family wouldn’t show up whether she was getting married or being inducted into the nurse’s hall of fame. He asks if it doesn’t bother her. She says disappointment turned into resignation, and she has zero expectations. He says, this time might be different. She doesn’t think so, and asks him to let it go.

David calls Griff the resident white knight. Kiki tells Griff to let him go. David sees she’s okay with the chivalry of some doctors; she gets to pick and choose. Hmm… maybe he should grow up. She says what he did wasn’t chivalrous, and she’s going to take him down. He says she’ll be laughed out of court. She says she has options, unlike him, and he says, we’ll see.

Nina tells Valentin that she already hired an attorney. He says he can fight it for weeks or years; it will get expensive. She doesn’t care, and he says he’s offering her a contract. At the end of thirty days, she can either drop him for good or spend the rest of her life with him. He writes something on a napkin and gives it to her. She says, this is a contract? and he says his signature is on it. That’s right. People’s Court Judge Marilyn Milian says it doesn’t matter – get it in writing, even if it’s on a piece of toilet paper with a crayon. Valentin warns her that he’s going to pull out all the stops to remind her how rare and precious their love is. She tells him not to get his hopes up.

On the phone, Sam says they’ve been extremely helpful. She tells Curtis that by helpful, she means not at all. Nina isn’t an authorized user. They confirmed the flight was scheduled, but not the destination. Curtis’s phone dings. He says Nina can’t stall any longer; they have to go. Sam says, no way. They’re not going anywhere.

Alexis tells Doc that all this time, she’s been focusing on the dysfunctional family dynamic. Her mother sacrificed her life for a sociopath who was married to a sociopath. Doc says that’s one aspect, but they also tried to out evil each other. She says while that’s not something she pursued, she’s following in her mother’s footsteps with one hideous relationship after the other. She tried to break the cycle, and dived into a relationship with Finn as a solution. She needs to try and figure out why she’s still attracted to the wrong men. Doc says it’s definitely a layer, and Alexis says, there are other layers? She wonders if, since she can recognize the patter, she can break it, and he wishes it were that easy. She asks if they just keep talking until she’s attracted to normal men or dies alone. He says they’ll work until she’s able to confront the person or persons who are at the root. She says her parents are dead. There’s no one left to share cathartic moments. Doc says, not necessarily.

Mary Pat tells Jason none of the patients are there because they’re nice people. He says it’s not his place to judge one way or the other. She points to Carly’s room, and says, this one pushed a young pregnant woman down a flight of stairs. He asks how long she’ll be there. Carly sees Jason through the window, and says, thank God. Mary Pat says until she’s deemed a sane, functional member of society – whenever that is. Carly and Jason lock eyes. Carly says, you’re here. Mary Pat sees she’s awake, and tells Rupert that she needs a higher dose. She introduces him to “Jesse,” and he tells Jason to stick to mopping floors, and leave the patients to the professionals. Mary Pat says, that’s a good point. If a situation arises, he is to notify the staff immediately. She says they’ll finish in the day room.

Franco tells Elizabeth that he’s sorry if he overstepped a boundary. She thinks it’s sweet, but says not to feel badly for her. He thinks she’s incredible, and doesn’t understand why they’re not a part of her and her children’s lives. She says there’s no room. Their work is their life. They’re not malicious; it’s just them. The bright side is, even though they say you can’t pick your family, she kind of got to. She has amazing friends, the boys, and him; they’re the only family she needs. She’s pretty lucky. He says, she is, but if her parents magically showed up, wouldn’t it make her happy? She says, in a Cinderella kind of way, but life isn’t a fairy tale, and she’s okay with that.

Kiki tells Griff that he shouldn’t have done that. Griff wasn’t going to let David threaten her, but Kiki says he could be charged with assault. Griff doesn’t care, and says it was David in the article, wasn’t it? He knew something was going on. With the weirdness at the Nurses’ Ball, he should have seen what was right in front of him. Griff says, he didn’t…? and Kiki says, no. It was just toxic for a long time, and last week, he actually propositioned her, using her evaluation as leverage. Griff says, it’s disgusting, and wishes she’d come to him. She says after what happened between them, he’s the last place she could go for help.

Doc tells Alexis it might be helpful to have one of the men she dated join them. Not to unload how hurt she is, but they could see how the relationship evolved. Why it was good, and when, and when it went bad, how it got there. She’d be surprised how different their takes might be. She says Jerry Jax is an international fugitive, and not available; Ric hates her, and won’t help; and Sonny is a little busy. That leaves Julian. Doc says, it does, and time’s up. He tells her there’s no need to make a move yet, but think about it. She says she will.

Valentin comes home. He flashes back to Nina asking for a divorce. As he pours a drink, he says, you two are not nearly as stealthy as you think. Sam and Curtis come out, and Sam says they weren’t trying to hide. Curtis says they have some questions about Peter.

Nina looks at Valentin’s contract. Her phone dings. It’s Charlotte, asking when she’s coming home. She misses Nina.

Valentin asks if they want a drink, but they pass. Sam asks where Peter is, and Valentin says he’s not the one who put the cameras on loop or distracted the guard. Curtis says he must have provided shelter, and Valentin says he searched the property; any sign? He didn’t think so. Sam says he chartered a plane the same night he was found in Peter’s cell. Curtis asks if he can see why they think he’s holding back, and Valentin says, absolutely, and he is.

Alexis packs a box for charity. Is this another Maxie move? She looks at the picture of her mother.

Mary Pat tells Jason, if all goes well with his references, he can start later today; they’re short-staffed. He says it works for him. Carly’s door opens, and she says, you’re here; I knew you’d come, but it’s Doc.

Jason asks where he’d start, and Mary Pat says the public areas, until he gets acclimated. She thinks he’s a good fit, and he agrees. Doc asks Carly if she was expecting someone. She says she thought she saw something, but doesn’t know if it was real. He says, like with Morgan, and asks if she’s all right. He wonders how many meds they’re giving her. She asks if he’s actually there. He says he is, he’s real, and he’s going to do everything he can to help her.

Elizabeth suggests she and Franco talk about something happy. She’s super excited about getting married. Other than having the kids, it will be the most important moment of her life. The ER calls, and she has to go. Franco tells her to go and save lives. She tells him to wait up for her. When she’s gone, Franco calls Sarah, and wonders if she can put him in touch with her parents.

Kiki tells Griff, for her mom’s sake, they need to stay as far away from each other as possible. She knew things would get messy after they slept together. He says he never wanted her to think she can’t lean on him; she can’t face it alone. She says she has Elizabeth and Lulu, and Alexis agreed to represent her. She thanks him anyway, saying he’s a good friend. He says it feels wrong to do nothing. She says Monica tried, and it didn’t work. He says, so that’s it? She doesn’t need or want help? She says, not from him.

David slinks around the hospital. He looks at a picture of Kiki hugging Griff on his phone, and smiles. The only problem I have with this is, Griff is also her mother’s boyfriend. It wouldn’t be all that inappropriate.

Nina texts Charlotte that she misses her, and will see her soon. She flashes back to Valentin saying they did everything in reverse, and giving her a ring.

Valentin says, during the altercation, Peter took his phone. Peter must have pretended to be him, and contacted the pilot. He’s as shocked as anyone. The jet was fueled and ready to go. Curtis asks why he didn’t call the police, and Valentin says it never left the ground. He got stuck with the cancelation fee, and Peter must have found another way to get out of town. Curtis asks if that’s his story, and Valentin says it’s the truth. Curtis and Sam leave. Outside, Curtis says, dude is lying through teeth. Sam says he’s helping Peter. Curtis wonders if he never took off, how did he get away? There were check points everywhere. Sam says, unless he never left town. Peter is still in Port Charles.

Alexis listens to the recording of her mother, and looks at the watch on her wrist.

Tomorrow, Kim tells Julian that he’s stuck with her, Sonny asks Mike if he talked to someone about Skully, and Carly asks Doc to help her get out.

Southern Charm

Is Ashley still on the show?

Craig meets Austen, who tells him his hand is gnarly. Craig severed two tendons in his pinky. Now he’s wearing an archaic device for two weeks. They’re headed to pick up Austen’s first batch of beer. He wants to have a tasting party on Saturday. He’s inviting all of their friends, including Chelsea. Craig asks if she and Victoria have been in the same place since he started dating Victoria. He says they’re not speaking. Victoria thought Chelsea was inappropriate. In his interview, Austen says Victoria lets her emotions get the best of her more often than not, and it’s frustrating to deal with. Craig says, girls are crazy.

Naomie goes to the beach with Chelsea and her dog, bringing her best friend’s dog along. Chelsea loves that Naomie posted pictures of Thomas and Kathryn at Saint’s birthday party. Naomie says she knows Ashley looks at her stories, and she’s that petty. Chelsea hopes they don’t have to deal with her much longer. Naomie says she claims she’s not going anywhere. She asks how it’s going with Austen. Chelsea says if he’s happy, that’s awesome, but she can’t hang out with him like they used to; it’s not comfortable for her. Naomie says that’s normal and understandable. In her interview, Naomie thinks Chelsea still has feelings for Austen. She asks what it would take for Chelsea to be comfortable, and Chelsea says, dating someone super-hot.

Austen and Craig get to the brewery. Everything went off without a hitch. Austen is excited; it’s the moment of truth. He sniffs the beer like it’s a fine wine, and says he smells the grapefruit. It’s definitely what he wanted; not too sweet, dry, or weak at the end. Craig thinks it’s more lemon than grapefruit, and kind of woody. In his interview, Craig says he’s still a college beer guy, who drinks Bud Light. Really? That’s better than Coors Light, but still… He asks if Austen is happy, and he is. Everything has worked out with the distributor, and it will be in by Friday.

Cameran is exhausted. Baby stuff is everywhere. Her mother comes over, and Cameran says she just took her first shower in two weeks. Her armpits were on the verge of looking like a man’s. Her mother brought some vintage baby linens, but Cameran says, to be honest, she’ll never use them. Maybe when she has a second kid. She says, psyche! Nothing is coming out of there ever again. She tells her mom that she was sobbing uncontrollably at two am, asking Jason, what have we done? They had a great life; why did they ruin it? She can’t sleep when the baby does, since she wakes at the slightest sound. Her mom marvels at maternal instinct. Cameran says she saw a lactation consultant, and has an oversupply of milk. She can’t go out, and it’s like Groundhog Day. Her mom says it’s only a short time. Cameran knows it’s fleeting, and Palmer will be an a-hole teenager one day. Her mom says if Palmer gets Jason’s personality, she’ll be great to live with. If she gets Cameran’s, payback is hell.

Craig meets Kathryn for coffee. She says he’s like Edward Scissorhands. She’s working, and enjoying it. We see a clip of her styling someone. Craig can tell she’s genuinely happy. She says Thomas told her that her energy field is amazing. She tells him about Thomas texting her lines from the poem If by Rudyard Kipling.  If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you… Kathryn calls it a badass poem. Craig thinks Thomas is losing his mind. If Ashley was going to get a job, she’s been there long enough to have done it already. Kathryn says she thought it was a one way free ticket to spend someone else’s money. Thomas is usually frugal as hell, and is probably using it to keep her at bey. In her interview, Kathryn says Thomas is good at his game, and Ashley thinks he’ll take care of everything. So did she. We flash way back to Thomas telling Kathryn that everything he has is behind her. She says, he doesn’t keep a single promise – good luck. He’s not going from being frugal to spending tons of money. She tells Craig that Thomas isn’t consistent. Craig doesn’t think Ashley will be cool with him spending money, then suddenly cutting it off. Kathryn says she’s all over the place, and Craig says she’s not very stable.

In his interview, Thomas says Ashley is still in California. When she left, they weren’t in a good place. He does find fault with her, and thinks she’s too controlling, but he’s not the easiest guy to be with, and he wants a partner in the business of life. Whitney meets him at the jewelry store. Thomas needs another family crest ring, since he lost his. Oops. Whitney shows off his ring, which was crafted by the Queen of England’s jeweler. Thomas is thinking of getting himself and Ashley matching rings. Whitney asks if it would be a promise ring, and I wonder how old we are. He’d thought Thomas sent her packing; what is he doing? In his interview, Whitney says Thomas doesn’t make sense. He’s hot one minute, and cold the next. A squad of analysts couldn’t figure it out. Thomas says Ashley was a hit at his stepmom’s birthday, and his sister loves her. In his interview, Thomas says it’s important for his family to approve. He tends to get caught in the emotion, and makes bad decisions. Whitney tells him that a signet ring will signify a future, but Thomas doesn’t want to send false signals. Whitney asks if he wants to marry her, but he’s not sure. Whitney tells him not to waste his or Ashley’s time, but he says he’s not making a decision right now. He wants to think it through.

Craig goes to his favorite sewing store, and tells manager Kathy that he’s presenting a sample design for a pillow he’s been commissioned to make. He shows her several designs on her phone, and she gives him her opinion. In his interview, he says he’s known Kathy a while, and when he can’t make a decision, whatever she says, goes. Kathy tells him that she’d buy the design with two dogs under palm trees, and shows him some fabric, while making suggestions. In his interview, he says it feels like success is going to happen for the first time ever.

Shep goes to the bowling alley. In his interview, he says he’s allowed to use a knee brace for certain activities, but the doctor didn’t specify bowling. He would probably be admonished. Kathryn joins him. He says he’s not very good, but after four beers and one shot of whiskey, he’s the best bowler ever. He says Chelsea is supposed to find a cute physical therapist for him. When someone nurses you back to health, you fall in love with them. Actually, I fall in love with the first thing I’m able to eat after I feel good again. Kathryn remembers bringing the soup to Shep. She gets a gutter ball. In her interview, she says, thinking back on their time together, maybe they cut the cord too quickly. They had a lot of fun. She says after Kensie was born, they hooked up a few times, but it never went anywhere. The sex was good sex, he’s cute and fun. Shep says he’ll let her win, but she says she can win on her own. She tells him that she had a dream about him. He was in a big house with a bunch of women, who were fighting for him. She fell asleep for two days, and when she woke up, he was outside her door, saying he was in love with her. In his interview, Shep says he does love Kathryn. That’s not a lie.

Austen’s friend Alexandra visits for the beer tasting. Austen says they met in college, and she’s his best female friend. He calls her with girl drama. She knows everything that happens, and they’re open and honest with each other. She asks if she’s meeting Victoria and the infamous Chelsea. She thinks Austen is smitten with her; he said he was in love the next morning. Austen insists he didn’t, but then says he probably did. He tells her about Victoria’s problem with Chelsea. He wants to be respectful, but also be friendly with who he wants to be. He’s nervous, but says they’re grownups. Today his girlfriend is his beer. Yep. That sounds really grown up.

Thomas encourages Ashley to get ready faster, and she mumbles her discontent with him from the bathroom. He was hoping she’d return from California refreshed, but he’s not sure things improved. They might have regressed.

Rob from House of Brews is working the beer party. Austen is stoked, and says he’s in his hoppy [sic] place. He’s giving out comment cards, and will maybe take them into consideration, or throw them out. He’s nervous, because everyone is coming there for him; his family and friends, his ex and his current. He has a lot stressing him out, and he’s trying to keep it together. There’s also a wall done with chalkboard paint, set up for beer name suggestions.

Chelsea’s friend, Addie, helps her pick an outfit. She wants to look like a badass. In her interview, Chelsea says she didn’t think she’d be nervous, but now that she’s getting ready, she has butterflies. She’s proud of Austen. She tells Addie he talked a lot, and there was no action, but now it’s a tangible thing. Addie says Victoria is going to be there, and Chelsea says she hasn’t seen her. Addie says she asks about Chelsea all the time, and she thinks Victoria wants Chelsea’s approval. Chelsea thinks she’ll be fine, but doesn’t know. Seeing them together could hurt her heart. Addie says she could be cool, and tell him that his beer sucks. Chelsea asks if Victoria is hotter than her, then tells Addie not to answer.

Austen’s family arrives. They try the beer, and they all like it. His parents are anxious to see what everyone thinks. Naomie pronounces it, so good. JD (bleh) joins the crowd, followed by Chelsea. Good thing Victoria isn’t there for the hug. It’s a good one; he lifts her off the ground. Thomas and Ashley show up next. Thomas says it tastes like beer. Chelsea expected something more Austen-y. Kathryn congratulates him, and Thomas tells Craig that Kathryn is taller. Ashley tells him, don’t stare, and he says, why not? Here comes Victoria. She barely acknowledges Chelsea, who figured it would go like that. Austen has a less enthusiastic hug for her.

Craig asks Ashley if she’s spoken to Kathryn, and Ashley says, Kathryn who? because she’s just that immature. Thomas goes over to talk to her, and gives her a forehead kiss. Ashley tells Craig that they’ve been struggling since she got back. She feels like she’s self-destructive in some ways. Everyone rates, and tries to name the beer. Whitney arrives, and does a spit-take with the beer to be funny. Chelsea tells Craig about Cameran coming to her salon with Palmer. Shep tells everyone that Kathryn is the best bowler ever. She bowled two strikes and then gutter balls. She thinks Thomas is being weird. Shep likes his sweater, but points out he’s getting a gut. Craig wishes Ashley a belated happy birthday, and she says she’s thirty-three; too old for Thomas now. You could have fooled me. I thought she was in middle school. Shep tells Kathryn to consider it a good thing that Ashley isn’t talking to her.

Austen thanks everyone for supporting him, and says, cheers ya’ll! Thomas tells Whitney that he and Ashley were kind of arguing, and that she’s trying to control him. Whitney asks if he’s still getting the rings, but Thomas doesn’t know. JD shakes his head. Austen’s mom is proud of him; he exceeded expectations. He says his family’s approval is everything. It’s a major success, and he wants to cry. Victoria wonders if trepidation is a word. I heave a sigh. In her interview, Chelsea isn’t liking the bad energy. She doesn’t know what to expect with Victoria. She tells Victoria if they’re happy, she couldn’t be happier. And if Victoria feels like she if feel crossed boundaries, talk to her. Victoria says she saw Chelsea’s lips on Austen’s arm in the video, and it was like a punch in the stomach. Chelsea says it was freezing, and she was blocking the wind. She wonders if her and Austen’s friendship is too close for Victoria to be comfortable with. Victoria says Austen told her it was cold too, but it was the body language. Chelsea says she didn’t think it was anything sexual, like cuddling. Victoria agrees no boundaries were crossed.

Austen talks to Alexandra about Chelsea and Victoria.  Austen says there’s passion with Victoria, but Chelsea means a lot to him. Alexandra calls bullsh*t. She doesn’t think Victoria is the one.

Next time, Cameran is free, Naomie and Chelsea are concerned about Kathryn, and Thomas gives Ashley a gift.

🍹 🍇 I can’t wait for the Shahs of Sunset: How They Got Here on Monday, June 18^th at 9 pm. I love the Shahs! There will also be a Shah marathon most of the day. Sadly, MJ’s father, Shams, has passed away since last season. I’m glad she has Tommy by her side. He seems like a stand-up guy, and the only one who can keep MJ from getting in her own way.

💐 Southern Charm Savannah will be premiering its second season Monday, July 16^th at 10 pm. Here’s a first look:
