What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Carly tells Jason that between Josslyn coming and knowing Michael is safe, she can breathe again. Jason says he got a text from the hospital, and Nelle is there; Michael is there too. Carly says it’s a beautiful morning, and Jason says, especially if you haven’t seen the sky in weeks. She says if Jason hadn’t gotten her out, they would have given her the ECT, and she doesn’t know if she’d recognize the sky again, much less herself. Jason says it’s over. No matter what else happens, she’s never going back to Ferncliff.
Sam and Curtis tell Mary Pat that they’re from the United Mental Health Institute in Washington DC. Curtis says they’ve come to discuss Caroline Corinthos’s escape.
Ava is at the docks, and starts to take the baby blanket out of her bag. Does she carry it everywhere? She flashes back to telling Nelle that she has it. She takes out a lighter, but Griff, who’s out for a run, comes by. He asks what she’s doing.
Chase is sleeping on Lulu’s couch. Rocco pokes at him, and wakes him up. He asks if Chase wants pancakes. Lulu says she told Rocco not to wake him, but Rocco thought might be hungry. Lulu asks if he doesn’t feel good, and Chase says, not at the moment.
Sonny tells Michael he doesn’t deserve this, and can always lean on him. Sonny promises he’s going to get through it. Michael thanks him, and Sonny asks if he’s ready to go. He says, not yet. He still needs answers.
Kim tells Nelle that she’s sorry about the baby. She’s doing remarkably well considering what she’s been through. Nelle asks if she’s going to be released, and Kim says physically, she’s fine. She has no reason to keep her. Nelle says as soon as she’s released, she’ll be sent off to jail.
Carly tells Jason about eating pizza with Josslyn. There was pleasure in eating real food, but her favorite part was talking and laughing with her daughter. She hates Nelle for a million reasons, but mostly for manipulating Josslyn. She’s blaming herself. Josslyn comes downstairs. She was afraid Carly left. Carly hugs her, and says she’d never leave without saying goodbye. Josslyn asks if she can come with them for a while. Carly would love that, but she and Josslyn’s father have an amicable custody agreement. If she took Josslyn on the run, it won’t be amicable anymore. Jason says, maybe there’s another way.
Mary Pat tells Curtis they’re taking the matter seriously. Curtis notes that Carly was in the maximum-security wing, and Mary Pat says she was extremely violent. Sam asks how she escaped, and Mary Pat says she was taken at gunpoint by a man who worked there under an assumed name. He was probably scoping out the security system. They’re reevaluating their vetting process. Sam asks how Carly was being handled, and Mary Pat tells her they were extremely professional. If she finds it was otherwise, a grievance will be filed. Curtis says Ferncliff is being shortlisted for an Innovative Program award. Sam says, congratulations.
Kim tells Nelle that she can’t keep her. What happened hasn’t affected her judgement of Nelle, but she’s recovered. Nelle says she hasn’t; her baby is dead. Kim is sorry for her loss. She’s going to find Michael so they can discuss some things.
Michael tells Sonny that he needs to see Kim. He asks if Sonny has seen Carly, and Sonny says Jason has her in a safe house. Michael asks if she knows about the baby, but he says, not yet. Michael says it would help a lot if Sonny told her and Josslyn. He’ll figure out how to tell the rest. Sonny tells him to deal with the doctor, and he’ll talk to Carly. Max is outside if Michael needs him. They hug.
Ava tells Griff that she needed to take walk. He’s surprised she came to the docks alone. She says she was thinking about Nelle. Her loss was extreme. Griff says it’s not the safest place at the docks, and Ava says she can take care of herself. He asks if she’s all right; she seems defensive. Ava says she’s sensitive when comes to Nelle these days. She remembers how Griff looked at her at the wedding when Carly came busting in saying Nelle sabotaged her, and must have had help. Griff says Carly looked at her, and for a moment, he did wonder, knowing how Ava feels about Carly. Ava says she did help Nelle.
Kim tells Nelle and Michael that she wanted them both to hear the results of the coroner’s report. The baby’s death is considered unexplained. Michael says there has to be a reason, but Kim says everything was fine at the last checkup. There were no predictors. She knows it’s little comfort, but it happens to 1200 babies a year. Michael says, for no reason? and Kim says there are any number of reasons. Nelle wonders if one could be an especially terrible car accident. She says, the crash killed the baby.
Josslyn asks how long they can stay there without getting caught, and Jason says there’s no way to know. Carly says they can’t stay; it’s too risky. Josslyn says it’s unfair. They know Nelle is a psycho; why can’t she just admit she lied about Carly pushing her? Carly says because they were fighting over a blanket. It was never found, and makes Nelle’s story more plausible. Josslyn says, no. It just means someone took the blanket.
Griff asks how Ava helped Nelle. Ava says she befriended Nelle. She was a pariah, and Ava could relate. She offered Nelle a job, but if she’s honest, she knew it would make Carly and Sonny angry. Griff says she was just helping someone who needed help. She says she commiserated with Nelle, and maybe it egged her on, and started her down a dangerous path. Griff asks if she helped her.
Lulu gives Chase ginger ale. He tells her that he’s sorry. He doesn’t remember anything after she offered him a ride. She says she gave him a ride home, but he couldn’t find his keys; he should call The Floating Rib later. He says he’s not much of a drinker, and she says last night was a special circumstance. He says, last night was a disaster. He met Nelle after her fiancé drowned under suspicious circumstances. Before he knew she was a murderer, he slept with her, trashed his career, and tanked the care. He was more careful this time. He planned it step by step, but didn’t plan on the baby dying.
Kim says the baby wasn’t injured from the crash, and the injuries Nelle sustained didn’t adversely affect the baby. Nelle doesn’t believe it, and thinks she’s just trying to make Michael feel better. It’s his fault. He was driving. Kim says nothing either of them did caused it. The baby was healthy during the last exam; thriving. The death certificate has been prepared, but the name was left blank. She’ll give them some time to decide if they want to keep it that way, or give the baby a name. She says she’s sorry for their loss, and leaves. Nelle guesses it doesn’t matter why the baby died. He’s gone, and there’s nothing they can do to bring him back. She wipes away tears, and Michael gives a side-eye.
Josslyn can’t believe Nelle knitted a blanket to look like Morgan’s. Carly says it wasn’t just any blanket; it was the blanket. She had to pry it out of his hands to wash it. It practically disintegrated, but she still has it. She has something from all of them, put away in a box in the attic, unless that bitch got her hands on it; then she’d have no memories. Josslyn says it’s her fault. She’s the one who believed and sided with Nelle over and over. Jason says Josslyn thought owed her because of the kidney transplant. She was paying a debt, and it’s honorable. It’s how she was raised. She wanted to give Nelle the benefit of the doubt. She believed in Nelle. Josslyn says over her own mom; she’s an idiot, and disloyal daughter. Jason says there will always be people who lie. It’s a life lesson; people have agendas and are after what they want. She can let them run her life and lead her where they want to go, or she can run her own life, and trust her own judgment; make her own decisions. If anything goes wrong, she’ll know why, because she’s the one who made the call. Carly says it’s hard trusting yourself, but better than lying to everyone else about what’s wrong in your life. That’s what Nelle did, and look where it got her. Josslyn can’t wait for the baby to come. Then they’ll never have to think about Nelle again.
Mary Pat says the Innovative Program award is the highest citation. Sam says, indeed it is. It’s the first Mary Pat has learned they were being considered, and Curtis says that’s by design. Advance notice gives an edge, and the facility can make enhancements before the decision is made. Pop-ins are customary. Sam says they want to make sure candidates adhere to the highest standards in patient care. They’re concerned about the escape. Mary Pat says there were extraordinary circumstances. Sam tells her they need to make extra sure the patient’s file is in order, and the highest standard of protocol was practiced. Mary Pat understands.
Ava tells Griff that Nelle had hoped the baby would bring her and Michael closer, but she had a sense Nelle was planning something. She didn’t want anything to do with it. Griff says, good thing she stayed out of it. She says in retrospect, the way Nelle was handling her problems with Carly was unsettling. She knows Carly can take care of herself, but it bothered her how Nelle reminded her of herself.
Michael asks Nelle if Jonah is still acceptable. She says it isn’t a contract; they’re talking about their child. He says, yes or no, and she says yes. She agreed when she thought they’d be happy together. He asks if that was before or after she used his brother’s memory to gaslight his mom; before or after she arranged to have him killed so she could take his money. She says, all I wanted is for us – and he says, there is no us. Their child is dead. It’s over. There’s nothing left. Nelle says she’s not lying down and letting him steamroll over if. She’ll contest a divorce. He says it won’t come to that. She says he can’t leave her with nothing; she’s still his wife. He say she’s not still his wife. She never was.
Sonny comes back to the safe house. Carly tells Josslyn to go into the kitchen, but Sonny says she needs to hear this. Michael’s baby died. Josslyn says it must be a mistake, and Carly asks, how? Sonny tells them that Nelle left Michael in the car after the crash. She seemed fine, but had the baby in the woods. Carly says, all alone. Sonny says Nelle told Michael that the baby wasn’t breathing. Josslyn says Nelle did it on purpose to hurt them even more. Carly says they’re not making this about Nelle. They loved the baby, and always will. Jason asks how Michael is, and Sonny says, strong and handing things, but he has a broken heart.
Chase thanks Lulu for talking him down. Lulu asks if he’s going to work, and if he’s sure he’s okay. He says Nelle will be ready to be transferred. She asks what’s next, and he say they have her full confession on tape. If everything goes as planned, her confession about Zack will send her to prison. Lulu asks, what about Carly? and he says, it’s not that easy. Nelle admitted to gaslighting her, but they need more proof, like the blanket resurfacing. He says there’s a baby to bury, and he has to remind himself that Nelle decide to rig the car. Lulu says, what if she had hired a real hit man? She wonders if Carly was right, and someone helped Nelle. Chase intends to find out.
Ava tells Griff, maybe Nelle thought of her as a role model. Nelle said she thought of her as a friend. Gruff says, then Nelle should have seen how hard she worked to overcome her past. Ava says she regrets her mistakes, and is moving on as a person. She wishes she had influenced Nelle. Griff says Nelle has no conscience, and a conscience defines the soul. All humans make bad choices. When you feel regret, and resolve to make it better and make amends, that’s your conscience speaking. Ava asks what would he know? Griff says he’s made mistakes. It’s figuring out what do afterward that makes the difference.
Nelle says she and Michael got married. The mayor officiated. He says they had a ceremony. She says she just lost a baby, and he says so did he. She suggests maybe they can heal together. She knows she messed up. She starts to cry, saying sometimes she gets crazy thoughts. She knows she can get help, but things get away from her, and she doesn’t know what’s going on. Like when she was little, and everything was taken away from her. Michael says maybe she’s mentally ill or a sociopath; he doesn’t care. Nelle asks how he can be so cold, and he says he took a page from her book; he’s following her lead. When it came time to sign the marriage certificate, Jason gave Ned a pen with the kind of ink that was on the flyer. He says Nelle left it on Carly’s car, went to Morgan’s grave sprayed his cologne on it. It was sadistic; working to make Carly think she was unhinged. The flyer turned out to be blank – like their marriage certificate. Nelle tells Michael that he said he loved her. He says it was a lie, a set-up. The prenup, the will, all of it. He starts to leave and says, by the way, he has a will. It’s filed in Diane’s office. Even if she’d managed to kill him, she wouldn’t have gotten a dime. She says he tricked her. He says he was protecting himself and his family. Too little too late, but at least it’s done. He walks out.
Sonny says Michael is still at the hospital. He wanted Sonny to tell her. Carly says he can’t be alone. Jason says no matter how strong Michael seems, this is the worst loss, and he needs somebody close there. Josslyn says she’ll go. She’s not under a police monitor. Jason says, not likely. Carly says she loves Josslyn so much, and Josslyn says she loves Carly so much too.
Ava wonders if Griff is thinking about the DNA test he took without permission; it’s not in the same realm. Griff says, a wrong is a wrong; degrees don’t matter. You can’t erase a mistake, but you can take responsibility for it and make up for the hurt you caused. Ava says it’s not always so straightforward. He says she can’t hold herself responsible for Nelle’s actions; Ava is nothing like her. Ava wonders how he can still believe in her. Griff says he’s seen her try to be better. Unlike Nelle, she has a conscience and soul, and wants to do good. He wishes she’d believe in herself. She says she’ll try. Now from the profound to the mundane. Does he want to come over for breakfast? Griff has to go to work, and Ava says she’s spending a few more minutes there, and going home. She thanks him for showing up at the right place at the right time, and saying the right things. He’s right. They’re just people. They make mistakes, but it’s what they do afterward that matters. They kiss, and Griff jogs off. Ava gets her bag, and calls Julian. She needs a favor. Nothing illegal. Quite the opposite.
Curtis says they’ve given a lot of thought to the layout of the dayroom. Mary Pat says it facilitates patient movement, while still allowing the staff to monitor them. She says many require close supervision. Curtis says the patients seem to benefit from interacting with one another, but she says it has to be limited. Some of them are sociopaths who will manipulate the other patients. Sam says everything is in order. She doesn’t think there will be pushback from the selection committee. Curtis hopes he’s there with congratulations the next time. Mary Pat says, from his lips. Outside, Curtis asks what San got, and she says, the consent form. She hopes that’s what Jason is looking for.
Carly tells Sonny that she can’t be there to comfort Michael, because she’s on the run to Canada. Sonny says, maybe not. He didn’t want to give her hope, but he’s working on something. He says the DA is going to cave soon. Nelle is a psychopath and a murderer. He thinks the DA will want to distance herself. Carly hopes so. Michael walks in. He asks where Josslyn is, and Carly says she left to be with him in the hospital. She has a lot to process. Michael feels guilty for her believing Nelle. Carly says he’s grieving a loss; they all are. Michael asks if it will get better. Carly says they’ll make it right somehow.
Chase gets to Nelle’s room, but finds it empty. He asks the guard where she is, and he says he only stepped away for a minute. Damn. A minute is all it takes, dude.
Jason asks Sam if there were any problems. She says Mary Pat didn’t suspect anything. She gives him the consent form. It’s signed, but Jason says it’s not Carly’s signature. If it’s not forged, she was drugged out of her mind. Sam wonders if it’s enough to get the DA to back off, but Jason isn’t sure. He thanks her, and she tells him to be careful. She’d rather he go to Canada than be visiting him in prison. He’s sorry for worrying her, but not for breaking Carly out. He’d do it again in a heartbeat. She says she’s always admired that about him.
Michael tells Sonny and Carly that they picked out a name for the birth – death certificate. Jonah. Sonny says it’s a symbol of peace. He was loved, and now he’s at peace.
Nelle heads down to the docks. Josslyn steps out, and asks where she thinks she’s going.
Tomorrow, Maxie says there’s something Nina isn’t telling her, Chase puts out an APB on Nelle, and Josslyn tells Nelle you messed with the wrong family, bitch.
The Shahs of Sunset
GG stands in the snow with a guy we don’t know. He wants to take her out. She says she’s married. He tells her a friendly dinner won’t kill anybody, and he wants to kiss her.
Two days earlier. Everyone packs for a ski trip. Adam asks Reza why they’re going to Big Bear if there’s no snow, and Reza thinks they have man-made snow. In his interview, Reza tells us that they bought a house, and he’s fronting the money for the renovation and upgrades. His husband wants a kid, and stressing between the house and baby pressure, he’s stretched thin. Adam is staying home to watch the furkids. Reza knows it’s selfish, but between vacation and baby pressure, he’s going.
Driver Vin picks everyone up, and champagne is popped – a 2002 Dom. Reza toasts to not breaking a limb and having a great ski trip. In his interview, Reza says growing up, his family went to Big Bear every year. He wants to continue the tradition of drinking, eating, and piling in the car with his nutty ass newfangled family. They talk about Asa being absent, and GG says people grow apart. In her interview, MJ says something is missing; maybe there’s less hate-oration in the air. We see clips of Asa from other seasons. MJ says after Asa drifted away, she and Reza are closer and there are no issues. She wonders why.
Mike met a girl named Mona, and says they’re friends – for now. We see a clip of them out to dinner. In his interview, Mike says she’s different than the girls he’s typically attracted to. She has a degree and is a vegan. He tells the others that she’s a dope chick, but never gives him compliments. Destiney says he’s used to having his ego stroked, and he says he has no ego. Everyone laughs hysterically. He says he’s met her brothers, and invited them out to hang out.
The group arrives at Big Bear. Shervin has to work, but is coming the next day. Private chef Desiree introduces herself. In his interview, Reza says he couldn’t find a five-star hotel, so he rented a cabin. Got a private chef, and made it five-star-ish. They all choose rooms, and it’s a lot less stressful than when the OC Housewives do. GG claims her territory by rolling on everything. Mike is hoping for some chemistry with Mona.
Oh man, the food. Destiney asks what’s up with GG and Shalom. GG says they just have to sign the papers, and Destiney says she has one under her belt. In her interview, GG says after they eloped, she saw frightening signs, and ended things immediately. Even though the marriage didn’t last, diamonds are forever. She tells Destiney that she tried. The second time around, it was amazing in the beginning. Then – she snaps her fingers – just like that. It’s not what she was looking for. Destiney says she needs a healthy relationship; it’s completely different. In her interview, Destiney sees through the bullsh*t. GG just wants to be loved, but puts up walls. She gets it because she’s that chick.
MJ calls Tommy. In her interview, she says we’re cordially invited to their marriage. It’s less than three months from now, so better find a dress, since it’s black tie. Her dad is still in the hospital, but she realizes she has to think about her future, so they’re planning the wedding. Dinner is served.
Reza toasts to his beautiful friends, who he loves so much. Mike asks if everyone is happy where they are. MJ thanks God for what she’s got. Mike isn’t content. After his marriage ended, he was partying and spreading his seed (who says that?), but he’s not a hunting tiger anymore. He’s done partying, and wants to have a family. They agree everyone has grown. Omg, the food.
Reza suggests they call it a night. Reza and MJ are sharing a room. She says Tommy trusts them. In his interview, Reza says not a lot of people are aware that he and MJ had sex. It was a onetime thing. MJ says that’s bullsh*t, but then says okay, they did. They were children, and he was just coming out of the closet. GG says the worst-case scenario is that she’ll have to share a bed with Shervin. Reza says if Shalom finds out, he’ll lose his effing mind. In her interview, GG thinks that was a low blow, but I’m not sure why.
In the morning, Reza tells everyone to rise and shine; he’s making a spread. The Shahs trickle into the kitchen. Destiney loves waking up to the food. Good. I’m not the only one obsessed with the food. GG says she has no sexual desire, and doesn’t know if it’s her libido or she got turned off by Shalom. MJ thinks GG still has an attachment to him, and she’s having emotional changes; she has to be tough. In her interview, GG says she’s never been in love, but Shalom was the closest to it, and it backfired. She starts to cry, and hides in the pantry, but MJ follows her. GG says she’s embarrassed, then wonders why there’s Jim Beam in the pantry. MJ suggests someone knew she’d be going in there to cry. She tells GG that she’s cutting herself off from her emotions.
Mona and her brother Nema arrive. Mike tells the others to make them feel welcome and be nice. Good luck with that. In their interview, Nema say he’s getting a front row seat to the love saga, and it’s super awkward. He doesn’t like seeing the flirtation. Mona says she almost got married a few years ago, and Mike says he had to suffer through many brunches with that idiot. Nema asks if GG is married. In his interview, Reza says he’s not the type to play Cupid, but if it can alter GG’s mood and get a guy some nookie (he says something in Farsi that sounds like humani), it’s a win-win. They decide to get geared up and head out.
Mona flirts with Mike. GG says she doesn’t respect snowboarders, and Nema says skiers are elitist. Reza tells Mike that Nema is feeling GG. When she’s out of earshot, Reza tells Nema that GG will skewer him, cook him up, and serve him to the peasants. Rema says he was picking up on that. Mona asks if he’s forgetting about his girlfriend, and he says he has a girl he’s dating. We see a picture of him and said girl, Erica. In his interview, Nema says it’s not perfect, but she was there as a friend when he went through a divorce. When he was ready to date, she was there and it seemed natural, but he never had the important time of being single. The bus comes to take them skiing.
Reza explains that the most important test to know your level of Persianality is the beshkan, or the Persian snap. Nema can’t do it, and Reza calls him a broke-ass Persian. Everyone tries, but most of them are broke-ass too. GG accidentally pokes herself in the eye. It’s done with the index fingers, but I can’t do it either. Destiney freaks a little about the chairlift, since she hasn’t skied since she was thirteen. She doesn’t want to be a p*ssy. Nema says, no way this ends well.
The skiing starts. Destiney falls. She talks to herself as she goes down the hill a second time. She knows she’ll fall, so why does she want to do this? She makes it, but then falls at the bottom of the hill. MJ is surprisingly good. Reza says everyone has their own style. MJ has a seductive method, and GG is angry, rigid, and straight up; plowing anything on her way down. He says it’s exactly like their personalities.
Mike flirts with Mona on the chairlift. In his interview, Mike thinks they’re attracted to one another. She did agree to come, and once she sees him snowboarding, it’s a done deal. It’s so funny how this dude thinks he’s all that.
They break for lunch. Alcohol and mass quantities of food are ordered. I think they order everything on the menu. Reza says GG was the best, and after her, MJ. Destiney says it was wonderful; she fell four times. They toast to friends. In his interview, Nema says the amount of food ordered was insane. It’s like he’s on National Geographic with Persians. Mona says Persians in LA tend to be cliquey because they grew up together, and if you don’t speak Farsi, it’s worse. In their interview, Mona and Nema talks about their weird upbringing. Their parents got divorced when they were still small, and they went to Iran to live with their grandparents while the divorce was going on. When they came back, they were told they could decide which parent to live with. Mona instinctively went to live with their mother in New York because she hadn’t seen her in so long. Their parents took that as her choosing her mother, and Nema saw a part of his father’s soul die, and went to live with him in LA. After college Mona moved to LA. MJ says, with all due respect, that’s effed up, having to choose. Thank God they’re reunited now. Reza has a fun night planned. GG, Mike, Mona, and Nema are going out, and the rest will stay home and enjoy each other’s company. In his interview, Mike wonders why Reza is sending Mona’s brother to c*ck block him.
Shervin arrives. Mona and GG get ready. Everyone has a shotski. Reza checks out Mike, and tries to stop him from wearing a hat, but it’s too late. Shervin thinks the date will be awkward, since Mike is close to Shalom, but tells GG, have fun; who cares? Nema says if Mona and Mike date, he’s going to ride Mike’s ass. Destiney says they’re like Angelina Jolie and her brother. If Mona gets an award, he’ll be there trying to stick his tongue in her mouth. Then she says she didn’t say that. Reza says their chariot awaits. Shervin tells them use a condom.
At the restaurant, GG says let’s get fat. Or did she mean phat? Nema asks about GG going through a divorce. She says from now on, she wants a contract with every relationship. She say she wants a kid with no emotions attached. Nema thinks that sounds great. In her interview, GG wants to be pregnant by this time next year. Nema asks what she wants, and GG says she wants sperm. He says he would do that. In her interview, GG says she’s looking for healthy and wealthy. He’s healthy, even if a little skinny, and drives a Lexus. Nema asks why Mike is winking at him, and Mike tells him not to worry; Nema isn’t his type
Destiney and MJ sit outside. MJ says she and Destiney suffer from same thing; feelings scare sh*t out of them. Destiney says she’s not lonely, but MJ says she has to breakdown the wall for a meaningful connection. Destiney says she was raised to buck up. She says she just has a mother, and she’s lost a lot of lovers because she kept her feelings and emotions hidden. She has lots of regrets. Some of them begged for her to hold their hand in public, or say I love you, and she couldn’t. MJ says Destiney is a bad ass bitch. She wants to get together a good profile for her on Tinder. Destiney is down with that.
Mona asks GG, after she has kids, what’s her ideal living situation; staying in LA or traveling? GG says, yes. Mona says she wants her kids to summer in Europe. She wants them to be cultured, and also homeschooled. Mike says she needs to find a gazillionaire if she wants her kids spending the summer in Europe. In his interview, Mike says he used to overlook it if a girl didn’t have the same philosophies as he does, thinking eventually they’d see eye to eye. Now, he’s not willing to go down the aisle with someone who doesn’t share his thoughts and values. He tells Mona that she’ll find a guy to give her everything she wants, because she’s stunning. Mona doesn’t know what to say, and GG goes, pfft!
MJ tells Reza that she loves her relationship with Adam now, and thinks he and Tommy should get together more often. She wants Reza to be her man of honor, and he gets very excited about giving a toast at the rehearsal dinner. He wants to do a photo montage as well.
The food comes. Mike says that GG and Nema share the same philosophy, but GG says she thinks Nema’s girlfriend doesn’t. Mike says, technically, Nema doesn’t have a girlfriend, but Nema admits he does. Mike asks why Nema is flirting with his friend, and Nema says, because she’s beautiful. GG says Nema is gangster, and gives him some of her steak, saying she doesn’t share food. Nema says it’s like second base. They toast to Reza.
They return to the cabin. Nema says he and GG have similar minds. GG thinks Mona is a potential match with Mike, but she wants someone genuine, yet extremely wealthy. Mike says they’re in sync on some philosophies, but not others. Mona says he hates her now, but he says he’s disappointed, and pouts. Mona can’t understand why he thinks someone with money is a bad guy, and someone with no money is a good guy. She asks how that’s worked out for him so far, and he asks how it’s worked out for her? Reza says Mike can’t put her in a box because she doesn’t make sense to him. In his interview, Reza says Mike judges value based on his desirability. When a woman isn’t willing to drop to her knees within twelve minutes, it hurts his ego. Mike thinks he and Mona will be great friends, since the viewpoints they do share are important.
Nema says GG is hot as hell, and his type. He wants to make out with her. In his interview, he says it’s rare when a girl causes him to throw rational thought out the door. His ex-wife was the first, and GG is the second. He asks GG to walk with him outside. He wants to be away from the eyes of the peanut gallery. He tells GG that he wants to ask her out. She wonders if his girlfriend is good with that, and she’s married. He says a friendly dinner never killed anyone. She says, no, but it could get her in some sh*t, and what if turns into more? He wants to kiss her, but that’s a no. She agrees to dinner. He just wants a little kiss, but she’s not ready. She says dinner first. In her interview, she says she doesn’t typically go for a guy like Nema, but he’s been sweet so far, so she’s giving him the benefit of the doubt, and going to let him know her little by little.
Next time, Destiney gets a Tinder profile, GG brings up Reza’s hook-up with MJ, and Vida says liking Tommy and thinking he’s suitable for marriage are two different issues.

What I Watched - TV With Theresa
