What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Robert and Jason look through the room Anna had been held in. Robert says it’s the last spot he tracked Finn to before the signal blacked out. They’re not finding any traces of Anna, and Robert says they don’t know if they were there together. They could have been shifted. He’d like Jason as back-up, and Jason says, anything he can do to help Anna.
Anna and Finn brought into a medical office. The dude who kidnapped Finn tells them to settle in, and leaves. Finn says, but they were just getting to know each other.
Cameron tells Elizabeth not to freak out. Franco tells them the shop owner isn’t pressing charges. Cameron says, see? No big deal. Elizabeth says. it’s a giant deal. She raised him better than this. What was going through his head when he decided it was okay to shoplift?
Oscar can’t believe Cameron got arrested; he looked surprised. Josslyn says he was probably scared. Oscar says he thought he got away with it. How entitled to thin you can just steal something if you can’t afford it. Josslyn says people make mistakes. Oscar says he could lose his job, but she wonders why his workplace has to know. Oscar asks what kind of message this will send the kids. She says Cameron isn’t the bad influence; she is.
Scotty says Griff told the court that he and Kiki are just friends. He asks, what kind of friends? Good friends? Best friends? Special friends? Griff looks like a fish gasping for air, and says he doesn’t know. Alexis says the question has already been asked answered. Scotty is making insinuations. Scotty says he’ll be more clear. Did Griff have sex with Kiki? He reminds Griff that he’s under oath. A simple yes or no. We all wait. Griff finally says, yes, he has. I say, oh ho ho.
Robert knows he and Jason have their differences. He didn’t know how Jason might react if he reached out. Jason says it’s not often law enforcement asks for his help. Robert knows Finn was definitely there. He picks up Finn’s tracker from the floor, and wonders how the hell they found it.
Anna cuts Finn’s restraints off, which are basically plastic ties. He says it’s nicer than the last prison they were in; it smelled like blue cheese. He says, if only they knew where they were. Anna says they’re about five miles outside of Toronto. She explains how she figured it out, which I couldn’t even follow. She says when they stopped for a while, she thinks that’s when they crossed the border. Finn says she’s kind of magic. She says, he is. He knows what all this is. It’s her job to get them out.
Oscar says Cameron stole something, not Josslyn. She says he probably didn’t think of it until he saw her. It might be shocking, but she’s not a nun. She’s shoplifted a couple of times. Oscar says she’s super wealthy, and can buy anything she wants. She says she stole anyway. Before he gets judgmental about Cameron, he’ll have to come at her first.
Franco tells Elizabeth that he paid for the earbuds, so that part is taken care of. The shop owner wants a personal apology; then they’re square. Cameron is like, see? and Elizabeth says he missed the point. He has earbuds all over the place. He says they’re old and the wires get tangled; it’s like living in the Stone Age. She didn’t think he cared, but maybe he should have saved up for a new pair. This isn’t how things work in their family. Cameron says, because they’re poor? Franco tells him not to talk to his mother like that. Cameron says he doesn’t have to listen to Franco. Franco isn’t his father.
Alexis objects to Scotty’s intrusive question. Scotty says it shows their behavior in the workplace, and the character of the witness. The judge overrules it, but warns Scotty. David tells Scotty that he turned the case around: don’t stop now. Scott asks if Griff and Kiki were on staff when this happened. Griff says, yes, they were.
Scotty says Griff is Kiki’s superior. Did she see it as harassment? Alexis says that’s hearsay, and objects. Scotty asks if Kiki ever formally accused him as sexually harassing her. He says, no, and Scotty asks if he’s had any other harassment claims at GH. Griff says no, and Scotty has no further questions. David tells Scotty to show that Kiki is that girl, but Scotty says slut shaming her will do them no good – even though David is enjoying it. Alexis redirects. She ask if Griff is Kiki’s supervisor, and he says, technically. She asks if he’s her direct supervisor, and Griff says, no. She asks if Kiki worked with him in the Shadow program, and he says, no. She asks if they ever had any encounters at the hospital, and he says, no. She says, and most important, was his relationship with her client a consensual encounter? He says, it was consensual, but they never had a relationship. It was a single encounter. A mistake they both regret.
Elizabeth tells Cameron not to speak to Franco that way. Franco says emotions are high, and Elizabeth says, if Cameron had an arrest record, he’d have to tell every college he’s applying to. When he wants something, he needs to work for it, and he’s going to work the rest of the summer pay Franco back. Franco says, it’s not necessary. He sees Elizabeth’s face, and adds, apparently it is. They were $165. Cameron says he’s not the only kid who shoplifts. Elizabeth asks if he has a partner in crime.
Oscar tells Josslyn that he sounds like a judgmental jerk. She agrees, and he says he doesn’t like the idea of her doing something that could get her into serious trouble. He understands. Her mom has been away, and there’s melodrama in her life. Josslyn asks if this is another round of psychoanalysis. He says under normal circumstances, she’s not the type of person who ends up in situations like that. She tells him to stop blaming what he doesn’t like about her on her family drama. He’s making excuses for her, and doesn’t even see her anymore. He asks if Cameron does.
Jason offers Spinelli’s services to Robert, and Robert says, if he needs him. Jason suggests maybe the security cameras picked something up, but Robert says they don’t know if Anna was even there. They only know for certain that Finn was. Jason asks how he’s sure Anna is the target? What if she was bait to lure Finn? Ha-ha! Bait. Lure. Finn.
Anna asks if Finn has any idea who the patient is. He tells her that he was trying to think of who he’s treated over the years, but it’s no one who would resort to this. Anna says, so it’s not a former patient, but someone who would benefit from his expertise. She wonders if it’s someone with Blackwood, but he says the cure is in most hospitals now. Anna says it’s no one from the DVX. He asks how she can be sure, and she says they kept her alive.
Alexis asks Griff to clarify what he’s said. He’s categorized it as one encounter which was a mutual mistake. She asks if Griff has pursued Kiki since then, or reprimanded her professionally. He says they rarely cross paths. She says, so there was a definite delineation between their professional and personal lives. He says yes, and Alexis says, so unlike David, he didn’t pressure, manipulate, or harass her client, and kept their status professional. Scotty objects, and she has no further questions. Griff steps down, and jets into a sh*t storm.
Lulu asks Julian if he knew, but he says he had no idea, but looking back, maybe there were signs. Kiki looks sick. In the hallway, Griff tells Ava that he can explain. She cracks him one across the face.
Robert asks if Jason thinks Anna was bait. She went missing when she left to visit Robin. She’d sent Finn a text message, and he figured she needed space to be with Robin, until she asked him to join her. Robert hadn’t heard from her in over a month, but it wasn’t unusual, and they’d been at odds about Peter. He figured she was icing him out. He called Robin, who told him Anna wasn’t there. Finn showed him the text. Does Jason think they want Finn as leverage? Anna has access to sensitive intel, and wouldn’t talk to save herself; but if they put a gun to Finn’s head, it would be a different story. He wonders why they waited so long. Jason suggests they waited to make sure no one suspected, then used her to bring in Finn when they were ready. Robert says, ready for him to do what?
Anna says if it was anyone after her, she wouldn’t be alive. She was bait, and now that they have him, they don’t need her. He says maybe they do. As long as she’s alive, the can dangle her safety in front of him. She doesn’t think they would risk leaving them together, and he asks if he learned this in abduction class. She says they would have isolated the, and the intelligence agency would break them down. She thinks their captors are mercenaries hired to obtain the objective. Finn says, the mystery patient, and they wonder who it is.
Kiki apologizes to Alexis for not telling her. Alexis says they’ll talk later. In the meantime, this has no bearing on the case. It doesn’t change anything. Kiki says it shouldn’t have, but that doesn’t mean it won’t. She asks if Alexis still thinks they’ll win.
David tells Scotty the ball is back in their court. Scotty says, yippee. David says he’s obligated to provide the best possible defense – get on it. Scotty calls David to the stand.
Griff knocks on Ava’s door, saying he knows she’s in there. She opens the door, martini in hand, and tells him to get out. He says it’s not what she thinks. He’s not going anywhere until they talk. When he explains, it will make sense. It was after the Nurses’ Ball; he’d thought they’d broken up. Ava says she understands perfectly well. He took the first chance he got to sleep with Kiki.
David is sworn in. Kiki tells Alexis that she’d said Scotty wasn’t calling him. Alexis says Scotty is full of surprises today. Scotty asks if David believed his attention was unwanted, and David says, no. Alexis asks what difference this makes; what if he read the signals wrong. David says he didn’t, and the judge tells him not to speak unless he’s addressed directly. Scotty asks him to elaborate. David says early in their professional relationship, he and Kiki bonded. Scotty asks for an example, and David says he found her crying at the coffee kiosk. It was the anniversary of the death of her old boyfriend, Morgan. She’d just come from the memorial service. She shared her feelings; the feelings she couldn’t share with her then boyfriend, Dillon. She told him that when she began seeing Dillon, she was cheating on Morgan. Alexis says that’s irrelevant, and the judge says to disregard it. Scotty asks why he would think that was an invitation? David says Kiki laid her head on his shoulder, and it was obvious to any passerby that she had feelings for him. When Dillon saw them, he threw a fit. It was reasonable to think she was attracted to him. That’s what she wanted him to think.
Josslyn tells Oscar that Cameron understands family drama; he has his own. It’s nice venting, but they’re just friends. Oscar thinks he must sound like a jealous jerk. She says he has nothing to be jealous about. He should consider himself lucky that he can’t relate to her family’s dysfunction. He says he cares about her, and she says she cares about him too. He asks what they were fighting about, and she says, literally nothing. She thanks him for being patient, and he says he wants to be there for her. She brings up the riddle he texted to her, and says it was cool. It’s just what she needed to distract her.
Elizabeth asks if someone pressured Cameron into doing this. He says it’s not like someone he hangs out with, and she says he won’t have to worry about that; he’s grounded. Franco says he didn’t see that coming. Cameron is to go to work and home only until Elizabeth feels she can trust him. She has to fill out release forms on his behalf, and tell him to sit and wait. He says she’s ruining his life.
Anna wonders what Robert was thinking. Finn says he did install a nifty tracking device. She says taking it out bought them some time. Robert should never have sent him into the field. Finn says, at least it was his choice; Anna blackmailed him. She says there’s no comparison. She gave him time to prepare. Robert threw him to the wolves. Finn says he’s doing fine, but Anna doesn’t like him risking his life. He asks if she would expect him say no to finding her. If the roles were reversed, she’d be the first to come after him.
Jason wonders about Anna’s enemies. Robert says she had an issue with Obrecht, but Obrecht has been too busy holding Peter captive. Jason says, anyone still in Port Charles? Robert asks what they’d want from Finn? That’s where his theory breaks down. If Finn is the target, why go to so much trouble to capture Anna? It’s a dead. He doesn’t think there’s anything to find. Jason picks a pill up off the floor,and Robert asks, what do we have here?
Alexis thanks David for his testimony, but counsel left out an important question. Did Kiki ever express interest verbally. He says not in so many words. Alexis says, yes or no, and he says, no. She asks if he reprimanded Kiki because she rebuffed his advances, but he says any negative criticism was warranted. Alexis says Kiki got an amazing, glowing review, but he’d revised it from the original, which could have tanked her career. He’d offered to alter it if she showed up in his hotel room. David says that’s not true. She asks if he had any reason to think his behavior might lead to a lawsuit, and he says, why would it? She’d like to revisit the photograph. He took the picture after he’d berated her when she was shadowing him. Had he thought he went too far, and took the photo as insurance to cover his ass? Scotty objects, saying it’s a tad bit argumentative. Alexis has no further questions, and the judge calls for a recess before the closing arguments.
Ava says during their twelve-hour breakup, Griff had to jump into bed with her daughter. He says it just happened, and she says she knew there was something between them. Month after month, she saw them with their heads together, and he tried to convince her that she was paranoid. He says they’re just friends; it was an accident. She says, you don’t just fall into bed with your girlfriend’s daughter. That’s why he told her he loved her. He knew the secret was going to come out. Griff says he does love her. He made a mistake he’d give anything to take back. She should know the feeling. She tells him not to compare the two of them. She’s done plenty that she regrets to get what she wanted. He has a fetish for women in trouble. Nothing turns him on like a helpless woman clinging to him in need. Kiki was too weak for him to resist.
Robert tells Jason it’s a medication that Anna takes. He assumes her captors want to keep her healthy. Now Jason’s theory makes sense. Anna is the bait; Finn is the target. Why all this trouble to get a doctor? Jason says Finn is a specialist; someone is sick. Robert wonders why wait so long, but Jason doesn’t know. Maybe there’s a medical angle they can’t see.
Anna says she can do fine on her own. Finn says, note to self: don’t rescue. She says she’s had training. She knows the risks. He says she thinks he can’t handle it, but she says he shouldn’t have to. Finn says from what he’s been exposed to in the past year, he knew what he was signing up for when he said he wanted to be with her. It doesn’t scare him. They kiss, because now is totally the time. Kidnap dude and dude who isn’t Klein come in. Anna asks who they’re working for, and what do they want from them?
Scotty tells Alexis that he’s sorry. He never meant for it to go that far. She says, but it did. Kiki asks Julian how bad her mother looked. Julian asks if she knows that expression, hell hath no fury. That doesn’t begin to cover it. Lulu asks how Kiki is holding up; this was a lot just now. Kiki leaves to get some air. David appears, and says she looks upset. She says just because she slept with Griff doesn’t change the fact that he harassed her. He’s not sure the judge will agree.
Griff tells Ava that he and Kiki were both in a bad place, and they wound up together. She can ask Kiki herself. Ava says she’ll add it to the ever-growing list of things she has to discuss with Kiki. She’s talking to him right now. He’d said she deserved love that wasn’t toxic, but decent and pure. He made her believe she could find joy, hope, and stability in her life, but she was just his escape; his vacation from morality. He says he’s not losing her like this. He loves her. She says for months he couldn’t say it; now, he can’t shut up. He’s a hypocrite. He can’t admit it was just sex, after he dressed it up, and she was desperate enough to buy into his words. His words mean nothing. He means nothing. She tells him to get out. He makes the most worried face ever made, and says he’s sorry. She says he doesn’t know what it means to be sorry, but he will. She promises. She closes the door.
Elizabeth says she’s mortified that Cameron spoke that way to Franco. When he cools off, she’ll tell him to apologize. Franco says he has a point; he’s not Cameron’s father. Is it really his place? Elizabeth says they’re about to be married. He’s going to be part of the family. She’s sorry this is happening; it came out of nowhere. When she was growing up, Elizabeth got many you’re-ruining-your-life speeches from her parents. She caused hell wherever she was. But she didn’t see Cameron going down that path. Franco says, in his experience, kids shoplift when they don’t get enough attention at home. She asks if he’s saying it’s her fault, but he says it’s just a phase. It will pass, and he’ll be fine. He has a great mom. She hopes he’s right. He knows he is. Cameron text Josslyn that the good news is, he’s not arrested; the bad news is, he’s grounded. He probably won’t see people IRL for a while, except for work.
Josslyn texts back that IRL is lame anyway. She’s glad he’s in no real trouble though. Oscar says he hates fighting, but Josslyn says she’s heard it’s healthy now and then. He still hates it. He promises to try to listen and not rush to judgement. Josslyn thanks him, and they agree they’re good.
Not Klein tells Finn and Anna that the patient will be transferred once she’s brought out of her coma. Finn asks who she is. Come on. They don’t know?
Robert says reinforcements have arrived. He needs to sync with the Bureau. He tells Jason to look for anything from Finn’s past that might apply. Jason says he knows he’s the last person Robert wanted to call, but he’d like to know when Anna is safe. Robert promises he’ll know. Robert gets a call, and finds out a transport was intercepted. He asks, who was taken?
Not Klein says they both know the patient fairly well. It’s Cassandra Pierce. Finn and Anna look at each other.
Tomorrow, Robert asks Valentin what he did with Anna, Franco tells Ava it’s just a fraction of what she deserves, Carly tells Michael they have to plan the baby’s funeral, and a verdict is reached.

Kelly and Shannon arrive at the restaurant and order drinks. Shannon asks Kelly, what if she goes on a date and kisses him, and another guy asks her out? Doesn’t she feel guilty? In her interview, Shannon says, there are enough skeletons in the closet when someone is in their twenties; a sixty-year-old has a whole graveyard. Kelly thinks she’s going through a funk. Shannon can’t imagine dating. She’s still not comfortable in her own body. She doesn’t want to see it, never mind showing it to someone else. Kelly says she needs confidence in herself. Shannon was told for many years she was selfish and worthless. Kelly says she’s none of those things, and Shannon says she knows, but when you hear it for so long… Kelly has heard them too. There are days she cries, and feels depressed and lonely. They agree in wanting partners. Kelly wants someone who’s there for her. In her interview, Kelly says it looks like she’s having a good time, but she just came out of a thirteen-year marriage; she’s not used to being alone. Shannon says the best and right thing is happening to both of them. In her interview, Shannon says she and Kelly have been through hell and back. Who knew? It shows how you can evolve. She’s glad she and Kelly have reached a point in their relationship where they understand each other. She says Kelly has a big heart, and Kelly says, who knew? They start doing the who? you! thing from a million seasons ago. By that I mean two or three. It just feels like that long ago.
Gina and friend Tatiana go to an antique store. Gina says she’s never been there, and it’s freaking her out. Gina wants to find a housewarming gift for her nanny Lupe. She picks out a hutch. She tells Tatiana that she’s been palling around with Tamra’s friends. In her interview, Gina says Tatiana knows Tamra. Tatiana is one of her closest friends in the OC. She’s from New York, and Gina thinks that gives them a stronger connection. Gina understands that being super-opinionated wasn’t the best way to start a friendship. We flash back to last week’s dinner. Where she comes from it’s okay to lay your opinion on the table and not be judged. They try on fur coats and hats, and Gina feels what’s been missing in the OC is being silly. In her interview, Gina says she and Tatiana had an instant bond. Back home, everyone made fun of each other all the time. She can imagine how it would go over here. She tells Tatiana she needs to focus on Lupe.
Shannon goes to a fitness equipment store. She tells the clerk that she just started exercising. When he asks what she likes to do, she says she hates all of it. She’s looking for a machine. In her interview, she says there are lots of people at the gym, and she wants to just walk into the room next door to her bedroom. Tamra joins her. In her interview, Tamra says she asked what Shannon’s fitness goals are, and Shannon just looked at her. Tamra says at least she showed up. In her interview, Shannon says David had gotten a bike for her, and took it when he left. We see clips of her trying to deal with it. She didn’t like it because it hurt to ride. She’s right about that, but you can change the seat. Tamra does a demonstration on one of the machines. She says she’s there to support Shannon in her fitness goals. She’s buying equipment she’s not going to use, that she can use for free at the gum. Tamra mentions Shannon going out with Kelly, and Shannon thinks they connected. They talked about what they’re going through, and bonded. In her interview, Tamra says maybe she’s feeling jealous. She feels left out. She has a broken foot, and Eddie is not getting better. She was there through it all with Shannon, and now she’s partying with Kelly. Tamra says she never hears from Shannon, and Shannon says, sorry; she felt they bonded. She has so many amazing things going on, she wants to pinch herself. In her interview, Tamra says Shannon has a habit of focusing on herself. She’s picked up the phone at midnight when Shannon is crying, and she can’t even call to see how Eddie is doing because he and David are friends. She thinks Shannon going out with Kelly and getting drunk, then posting about it on social media is a bad choice. In her interview, Shannon says Tamra jumped into a hot tub naked and broke her foot. Don’t talk to her about a cray night with Kelly. She’s not doing it every night.
Emily gets ready for her party. She’s also a party planner, but isn’t the one who cooks. Her oven is broken, and she didn’t even know. That’s how often she makes dinner. It’s an opportunity to showcase her home, party skills, and family. She thinks putting women with poker, alcohol, and food should be fun. Husband Shane escapes with the kids.
Kelly picks up Shannon, who is wearing a green suit with playing card graphics all over it. She calls it her poker suit, and says she got it online. I can’t decide how I feel about it. In her interview, Shannon says poker is about going big or going home, and she’s going big. I don’t think I ever played poker with my friends, but there was a long stretch of Friday night Yahtzee when I was in my twenties. Pary arrives, and Emily tells us that at seventy-three she can still rock leather pants and stilettos like nobody’s business. She certainly can, and she is so tiny! Tamra comes on her scooter. Everyone sits down for dinner, sans Vicki. Tamra looks at the empty chair, and says they’re on Vicki time. Emily talks blackjack with Shannon. Vicki rolls in. Kelly talks about a date with rocket guy from Houston. They met through one of her friends who lives there. Pary asks if she has a boyfriend, and Kelly says, a bunch. Pary says, a bunch means nobody. Kelly says Pary got it right. Kelly talks about what’s out there, and how she bought a dude a seven-hundred-dollar dinner, and he couldn’t pick up the tab for her sunglasses when he bought himself a pair afterwards. In her interview, she says she doesn’t do cheap. Emily thinks everyone wants a dirty story. Tamra asks Kelly if there’s zero chance of her getting back together with Michael. Maybe he isn’t so bad. In her interview, Kelly says she’ll always love and care about him, but she’s not in love with him. Pary asks why they got divorced, and even though it doesn’t answer the question, Kelly says Vicki hooked him up with one of her friends. Vicki asks if they’re going there again. Kelly needs to drop it. Kelly asks if Vicki is threatening her.
Vicki says to keep her out of it. Emily wants popcorn. In her interview, Gina wonders if this is how friendships and relationships play out in the OC. Vicki wonders why Kelly is acting crazy, and says it’s ridiculous. Shannon says it makes her blood boil. If she found out a friend had set her husband up, she’d be livid. In her interview, Shannon says Vicki doesn’t get it. Kelly feels betrayed. She hasn’t had enough time to process it. Kelly asks why Vicki would want to hurt her. Gina thinks she has a hard time getting out of her own way. She made a choice that hurt her friend’s feelings. Kelly starts to cry, and Gina says sometimes friends eff up. Vicki says she’s always had Kelly’s back, but Kelly says she’s been a constant let own for her. Vicki insists she’s been there for Kelly. We flash back to Vicki befriending Kelly when she first joined the cast. Kelly says she’s been there for Vicki, but Vicki has never been there for her. In her interview, Kelly says she poured her trust, love, and feelings into the relationship, and Vicki betrayed her. It hurts. Vicki asks how to fix it, and Kelly says just don’t talk about it. I have to say, I’m on Team Kelly with this one. I can’t imagine fixing up a friend’s ex-husband, unless I knew they were fine with it. And a double date is a hard no.
Dinner is served. Shannon tells everyone that she got a call from QVC, and they’re going to start promoting her product. Gina thinks it’s good business, and Kelly is proud of her. In her interview, Tamra says she’s never seen Career Shannon. It couldn’t have come at a better time. Gina thinks it’s time for poker. Emily’s motto is, if you’re not cheating, you’re not trying. She has visors for all of the girls, with their names bedazzled on them. The dealer explains the game. In her interview, Emily says Gina is loud and opinionated in. Add alcohol and she’s really loud and opinionated. Everyone has a shot. Gina asks who wants another, and calls them pusses [sic].
Vicki thinks they should talk in library voices. At a poker game? A happy medium maybe. Tamra asks Vicki to step outside with her. Kelly isn’t winning, and says this is not her jam. Shannon goes outside too. Tamra has to explain that Vicki is saying the wrong things to Kelly. Can’t she just say she’s sorry? In her interview, Shannon says an apology Vicki’s way is not an apology. Say something to stop the talking about it, then move on. They call Kelly outside. Pretty soon, the whole party will be out there. Vicki says she’s sorry. She loves Kelly, and wants her friend back. She doesn’t know how to fix it. Kelly says she’s a simple girl. She’s hurt, and she wants to have her friend back too. Vicki promises to call more. Kelly says Vicki invited Michael to her house on Thanksgiving, but not her. Vicki says Michael had called Steve, saying he was alone. If she’d known, she would have wanted Kelly there. In her interview, Tamra says it was the hardest when the kids went to her ex’s. It felt lonely. Pary – who has magically appeared because she’s really a tiny fairy – offers Kelly her phone number.
Ryan is driving Tamra and Eddie to the hospital. Tamra talks about a black cat looking at her and Eddie as it crossed in front of them. In her interview, Tamra says when she first found out Eddie had AFib, she thought they’d just get it fixed, but he’s one of the cases that isn’t reacting to treatment the way he’s supposed to. Tamra talks about how Eddie has gone from one thing to the next, and Eddie says that’s why they call it practicing. Tamra feels helpless that she can’t make it better. It’s very serious, and so frustrating. She says Eddie is quiet, and he says he can’t take his mind off it if she keeps talking. In her interview, Tamra says she never had to pray much for Eddie. Now, every night, it’s, please, God, make Eddie better. She tells Eddie that she thinks it will work this time. In her interview, she says her faith is being tested. She doesn’t understand why all this is happening.
Shane spaces out, while the kids get rowdy. In her interview, Emily says her parenting style is, whatever she needs to do to survive. She has three toddlers, who are rambunctious with a lot of energy. She makes sure they’re happy and safe, and no one is bleeding. She says Gina was loud last night, and Shane says annoyingly loud. In her interview, Emily says Gina was the last person left after the party. We see a clip of her saying she’s never leaving. Emily says Annabelle was still awake, and Shane yelled down to get her out. She tells Shane that Gina is from New York. Shane says he doesn’t care. He wonders if he goes to New York, he’ll see a lot of loud, annoying women. Probably. Emily suggests he stay on the West Coast. Emily says Gina did apologize. She got a text. Gina says she has small kids too. Shane asks what that has to do with it, and Emily says one of his complaints was that the kids were there. Shane says Gina used foul language and was loud. Emily says Gina agreed with what he said, and wants to apologize to him. He’s down with her apologizing, and says groups of loud women aren’t his cup of tea, especially loud, cackling, older women. Emily tells him to be careful. Geez. Shane needs to lighten up. He’s cranky from staying at home with the kids. And not that it matters, but how old does he think is old?
Eddie and Tamra come back to the car. Ryan asks what happened, and Eddie says, it didn’t work. He’s back in AFib. Ryan asks if the doctor shocked him again, and Eddie says, no; it’s not going back in rhythm. Tamra says the doctor wants to put him on a drug. He’ll feel normal, but he has to be in the hospital for four days. A percentage of the cases go into cardiac arrest, then need a shock to the heart. The doctor thinks it’s the best choice, and Tamra asks if Eddie wants a second opinion. He guesses so. He has a doctor in San Francisco he wants to call. In her interview, Tamra think Eddie is breaking a little. It’s easier when you have faith, and give it to God. He’s dealing with it at his own pace, with no one but her to lean on.
Back at home, Eddie tells Tamra that he’s setting up an appointment with the doctor in San Francisco. Tamra says the one they have is a top cardiologist. He says a divorce lawyer can’t help with a criminal case, and this doctor is a specialist. Unless he’s a specialist with the specialty, I’m not sure what Eddie’s point is. Does he know what a cardiologist is? Tamra knows he’s frustrated. She tells him that she would be too, but don’t take it out on her.
Next time, Vicki does a radio show, Gina thinks Shane owes her an apology, and Shannon says David went off on her.
