What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Peter goes to his room, and dumps cash out of a bag.
Maxie asks Spinelli when Georgie has her first break from school. Spinelli asks if she’s thinking about visiting, but she says she thought Georgie could come there, and spend time with her, James, her mom, and Mac – and Peter.
Peter puts the cash in a bag. He flashes back to Shiloh saying he wants all the cash Peter can get his greedy little hands on, and bring it to the Haunted Star. If he sees the cops or any backup, he’ll sing like a bird about Peter’s involvement with Helena. He can kiss his sweet life and cute little Maxie goodbye.
Josslyn finds Kristina in the kitchen, and asks what she’s doing there. She says she’s a twenty-something raiding her dad’s fridge. Josslyn says, it’s hard not to. Sonny always has the best stuff. She asks if Josslyn is sleeping out tonight, and Josslyn says, maybe for a lot of nights. Her mom and Sonny are sending her to boarding school.
Carly tells Jax, they were looking at schools for Dev. Sonny says, she was looking. Carly says she’d never send Josslyn to boarding school. Jax thinks maybe they should tell her that. It wasn’t communicated very well. But say she did want to move in with him; for the record, he’s okay with it.
Willow sees Chase at the hospital. He says he was about to call her, and she says she was distracting herself from the trial by setting up her classroom. He says he’s sorry, but he has bad news. Shiloh escaped. She drops the box she’s holding, and says, what?! How? He doesn’t have the details, but Shiloh is definitely on the loose. Brad overhears.
Bobbie tells Jason and Lucas, Wiley was in the car when Shiloh drove off. Lucas says he’s got to call the cops. Outside the room, he calls the PCPD to report a kidnapping – his son. Bobbie can’t believe this is happening, and starts to freak a little. Jason tells her to look at him. When the cops come, she has to be able to help. They need to get the timeline right. He knows she can do this. She says, okay.
Shiloh says, all that time he was telling people about fate, it was all BS. He never believed it, but it turns out he was right. Fate brought him what he needed. He has his son and two hostages. Sam says he’s not that delusional. He’s running out of time, and they both know it.
Kristina asks Josslyn if they actually said they were sending her to boarding school, but Josslyn says, no. She found a pamphlet. Unless Sonny is going back for his diploma. Kristina thinks that ship sailed, and asks how Josslyn feels. Josslyn says she’s not surprised, and Kristina says, she’s kind of shocked. Josslyn says, she made a big deal out of starting school without Oscar, and she cut the first day. Kristina says, it is a big deal. She can imagine how hard it is. Josslyn says, so can they. She was vocal in not wanting to be at PCHS. Maybe they think boarding school is the answer. A place that won’t remind her of Oscar. Kristina says, think about it. If Josslyn was away, she wouldn’t have to put up with the constant drama and insta-cousins. She’d have some distance, and that might be a good thing.
Jax thinks sending Dev to boarding school is a great idea. Sonny says, of course (🍷) he would. Jax asks if Sonny doesn’t think it’s strange that he’s putting a random boy’s needs ahead of Josslyn’s. Sonny says, if it was a choice between sending Josslyn or Dev, of course (🍷) he’d send Dev, but if Josslyn wants to live with her dad, he has no problem. Carly says he wouldn’t care that Carly would be devastated? He says he would hate it, but they have a lot going on, and a baby coming. If Josslyn decides she wants to live with her dad, he’s not opposed to it. Carly says, Josslyn is making a decision based on false information. She thinks they want to ship her off to boarding school. She can’t believe Josslyn thinks that. Jax says, she was confused, and Sonny says, let’s clear up the misunderstanding. Jax says, let’s.
Chase asks Brad where Wiley is. Brad says he should be on his way home from his swimming lesson with his grandmother. Lucas comes out of the elevator, and says Chase beat him to it. Willow says at least they know Wiley is safe. Lucas says Brad didn’t get his page. Shiloh has Wiley.
Jason goes over the timeline with Bobbie, step by step. She knows it was 4:45 when they go on the road. It was the last time she looked at her watch, and she knew Wiley was hungry. Shiloh pulled her over soon after that. She asks Jason to tell her that Shiloh’s not getting away with this. Jason tells her, not if he has anything to say about it.
Dev wakes up. Sam says he’s with her. He hit his head. She asks how many fingers she’s holding up, and he says, two. There was a guy there – Shiloh. Shiloh says he still is. Dev asks how he stole the baby, but Shiloh says he didn’t. Fate dropped the baby in his lap, and Dev’s call brought Sam into the mix. Thanks for that. Sam asks him to give Wiley to her. He asks, why? and she says she’s Wiley’s godmother. He’s scared, and he knows her. He says, if she tries anything… and she says she would never. Let him put his arms around someone he knows. Shiloh hands Wiley to her, and she tells Wiley, it will be okay. Shiloh says, soon he’ll get what he’s waiting for, and they can be on their way. She asks if he really thinks it will be that easy. He took the kid and the baby. Shiloh says, his baby; his son. Sam says his only hope of getting out is to let Dev and Wiley go.
Josslyn tells Kristina, somewhere everyone and their mother doesn’t know Oscar died. Kristina says, it’s a lot of weight to carry. Josslyn asks if Kristina thinks she should go, and Kristina says she thinks it’s a good option. Either way, she’s giving something up and getting something cool. She just has to choose which way works for her. Kristina says she’s out of there, and Josslyn thanks her for the talk. Kristina wishes Josslyn good luck, and Josslyn says she’s going to need it. Kristina leaves, and Josslyn gets out her laptop. She googles the boarding school, and says, let’s see what they’re all about.
Maxie tells Spinelli, for someone who says they know nothing about kids, Peter is great with them. He’s so sweet with Rocco, and James is nuts for him. James is fortunate to have a relationship with his uncle. It would be nice if Georgie did too. Spinelli says Georgie FaceTImes with Rocco once a week. Maxie says she’s talking about Peter, but he knew that. He says he did, and she says she knows he’s never going to like Peter, since he was involved in what happened to Jason. He says, what happened to Jason? he was kept in prison for five years, away from his family and everyone he loved. Maxie says she knows better than to ask Sam and Jason to spend time with someone who – in part – was responsible for their separation, but Peter has really turned his life around. He’s amazing to her and James. He won Mac over. Spinelli says, a monumental feat, and Maxie says, Anna loves him, and he talks to Robin on a regular basis. He wants to visit her and the kids. She knows Spinelli has a grudge, and doesn’t blame him, but Peter makes them happy. He makes her happy. He asks, how happy is happy? and she says she sees Peter in her life forever. That’s why she really wanted all of them to get along. Spinelli says, all right. He’ll look into Georgie’s October break. Maxie thanks him, and hopes one day he gives Peter a chance to prove him wrong. She leaves, and Spinelli says, highly doubtful, Maxinista.
Lucas tells Brad that Shiloh was wearing a guard uniform, and flagged his mom down. She didn’t recognize him until she was out of the car, He took the car, and Wiley was in it. Willow says, no, and Brad asks if there’s any idea where they are. Lucas says, there will be. Willow says, what if they disappear? Brad wonders, what if Wiley is in the way of a shootout? Chase says, Robert has the FBI and every precinct within 100 miles looking for them. Lucas says, and his mother’s car? Chase says, they’re looking for that too, but if Shiloh is smart, he ditched it. Brad says, this is really happening. Wiley could be anywhere.
Jason tells Bobbie that he found her at 5:10. That leaves twenty minutes unaccounted for, and he didn’t pass Shiloh on the road. A cop comes in, and says someone reported a kidnapping. He was told to get Bobbie’s statement .Jason asks if she wants him to stay, but she says she wants him to find her grandson. He leaves, and tries to contact Sam when he’s in the hallway. He hears his own outgoing message, and asks where she is.
Shiloh says he let Sam play him once before. How dumb does she think he is? He has two hostages, his son, and he’s five hours away from Canada. He’s all set. Sam says a SWAT team will be there soon. They’ll take him out before they hit international waters. Wiley is missing, and everyone will know Shiloh took him. That’s kidnapping, and traveling with a minor. He’s a sitting duck. Go ahead. If he thinks it’s smart, go on with his plan. He says if she’s got a better plan, he’ll take it.
Sonny, Carly, and Jax find Josslyn. She says she saw the pamphlet, but Carly says, it’s not for her. They were looking for schools for Dev. They’d never send her away. Carly wouldn’t survive. She’d have to move to the campus. Jax says this is why they have conversations; so they’re all on the same page. Josslyn says they must think she’s a drama queen. Carly says they’re not sure Port Charles is the right fit for Dev. They thought they’d look into different situations. Josslyn says, because of her? but Sonny says, no. Dev was dropped on them, and maybe it’s the best thing. Josslyn says, no. Dev loves it there. Now it makes sense. She doesn’t know if he saw the pamphlet, but she thinks he’s worried they’re sending him away. She doesn’t think boarding school is the solution for Dev, but she was taking to Kristina, and maybe it’s not a bad idea for her.
Willow says, the one saving grace is that she doesn’t think Shiloh would hurt Wiley. Chase doesn’t either, but Willow says he could disappear with him. They could never see her… Lucas and Brad’s son again. Chase says, that’s not going to happen, because Shiloh can’t win. Chase isn’t going to let him.
Lucas tells Brad, Shiloh is crazy, and a million other things, but he’s not going to hurt his son. They’re going to find him, and when they do, they’ll return Wiley to the parents who love him. That’s them. Brad says, Wiley doesn’t deserve this. He’s an innocent little baby, and Brad is the one who put this in motion. None of this would be happening if it wasn’t for him.
Jason calls Spinelli, who tells him that his family is at DEFCON one, with Maxie in love with the man who held Jason captive. Jason says he needs to know the last time Sam used her phone. Spinelli asks if she’s in trouble, and Jason says, Shiloh escaped custody. Spinelli says he’s on it.
Maxie goes up to Peter’s room, as he’s leaving. He says their timing is off. He’s on his way to a meeting. She says, tell them he’s running late, and pushes him back into the room.
Carly asks if Josslyn wants to go to boarding school, and Josslyn says, Kristina made some good points. She’d have space while she was reinventing herself. Carly says remind her to have a conversation with Kristina. Josslyn says, she was just trying to be helpful. If Josslyn went away, she’d want it to be a decision she was involved with. Jax says they can talk; put all the options on the table. Josslyn says she doesn’t know what she wants’; she’s so messed up. Jax says she’s not, and Carly says she’s just finding her way. Josslyn says it’s not the best time to be making decisions. She’s not jumping into something she knows nothing about .Carly says, so she’s staying home? and Josslyn says she is. She hates how she made it something it wasn’t. Dev had nothing to do with anything. Her issues are all hers. Carly needs a minute alone with her daughter.
Sam says she does have a good idea. She’s piloted her own ship. They can get to Canada on the Haunted Star. It will at least buy him some time, but nothing works unless he lets Wiley and Dev go. He won’t be charged with kidnapping a minor and a baby. Shiloh says, he’ll still have her? She says, it’s not the best option, but yeah. He says she’s delusional if she thinks he’d give up his son.
Out on the terrace, Jax says he’ll just say it, and Sonny says he always does. Jax says, something is going on with Dev that Sonny isn’t disclosing. He knows Carly would never go along with anything that would hurt Josslyn, but she could be pressured into not such a great situation, especially when there’s so much invested in it. Sonny thanks him for the insight on his wife. Jax says he’s not pressing the Dev issue – for now. If things get worse, he’s going to come to Sonny for answers, and Sonny is going to give them to him.
Carly wants to make it clear that her daughter comes first. She respects it if Josslyn wants more time with her dad; she’s okay with it, but wants Josslyn to be happy. Josslyn says she’s okay, but Carly says clearly, she’s not. She thought they were sending her to boarding school. Josslyn says she was an idiot to think that. Carly is an awesome mom and does a great job. She feels stupid, putting them through so much. She wants to leave things the way they are. Carly asks if she’s sure. They can reassess if anything changes. Josslyn says she never jumps to conclusions, and can’t believe she did. One of the trillion awful things about losing Oscar, is that she feels like she lost herself, or the person she used to be. Carly says she’s right there, and Carly will keep telling her until she believes it
Willow wants Chase to call for an update, and he says he’s do anything for her, but the squad is looking. They’ll tell him as soon as they find anything. Calling them is a waste time they can’t afford. Willow feels like she’s losing her mind; waiting, and not knowing what happened. Chase asks what he can do, and she says he’s already doing it. She puts her head on his shoulder.
Lucas asks what Brad is talking about. When he signed up for classes, did Brad know who Shiloh was? Brad says, no, and Lucas says, exactly. He thought he was being the best father. Things happen. it’s life. That doesn’t mean it’s Brad’s fault.
Peter says Maxie is in a good mood. She says she is. Georgie is coming for an extended visit. She can’t wait for him to spend time with them. She’s thinking it might be time for a new place; a permanent place. A home somewhere she and James can come, and leave a toy or two, and an extra toothbrush. Peter loves that, and she says, good. She’s ready to go all in with him. She’ll have both kids, and knows they can start looking to the future. He says there’s nothing he wants more, and they kiss.
Jason says, anything? and Spinelli says, a pox on spyware and firewalls. Jason says Spinelli installed them, and Spinelli says, they’ve proven inconvenient at the moment. He says he’s in, and tracking Jason’s phone. Sam’s last known location is Pier 55 an hour ago. Spinelli asks if he should meet Jason there, but Jason says, sit tight. He might need him and the computer. Sit tight. Spinelli says he shall.
Sam asks who Shiloh is waiting for. It’s too late; he should probably just go. He’s sick, demented, and twisted, but she doesn’t think he’d want anything to happen to the baby. He doesn’t want the baby with a SWAT team there. His best bet is to let the others go. If anyone follows them, he’ll have her Dev swears he’ll tell them he didn’t know who Shiloh was or where he went. He’ll say he was too scared to talk to him, and that’s not a lie. Just let him and the baby go. Sam says, Wiley will be in the line of fire. It’s his choice. Shiloh says, one thing she said made sense. He has too many hostages.
Carly tells Josslyn, it’s a hard thing. Oscar’s death was a huge disruption. No one expects her to have figured it out right away. Eventually, but she gets to decide. No one has a stop watch. She had to grow up emotionally so fast. Carly is so proud of how she met the challenge with grace. She’ll have stumbling blocks and make mistakes. The only advice Carly has is something Jason has been telling her for a long time. It took years for her to figure out, and she still needs to be reminded. Take a breath, and count to ten. Just hold on a little bit, and figure out if it’s a fact or feeling. If it’s a feeling, take a breath and figure the thing out. Josslyn says, it’s easy for Jason to say; he thinks everything out. Carly says, he’s so annoying that way. It’s not easy, but she’ll have a lot of people surrounding her who love her and have her back. They’re not trying to control her. It just means they support her. She and Josslyn hug.
Jax tells Sonny that he can’t send Dev away now. Josslyn doesn’t want that, and if he does, she’ll blame herself. Sonny says, then Dev stays. Jax says Sonny dug a hole, and Carly and Josslyn are at the bottom. He doesn’t like it. They get along for Josslyn and Carly’s sake, but if he’s put on the spot, the incentive for playing nice is greatly reduced. Sonny says, fine. It was fine before Jax got there, and it’s still fine. Jax asks if he thinks Josslyn is fine, but Sonny says, she’s grieving. It has nothing to do with Dev; it has to do with losing her boyfriend. What will make it worse is if they start fighting. Jax says, agreed, and Sonny says, then let’s not do that. They go inside, and Carly asks, what did they miss?
Chase gets off the phone, and Willow asks if it was good news. He says, it’s not bad. They found Bobbie’s car. There’s no sign of Shiloh or Wiley, and the car seat was gone. Willow asks how that’s not bad news, and he says, it means Shiloh is on foot, or attempting to get out of town another way. The airport, bus, and train stations are flooded with officers waiting to pounce. They’re going to catch him. Willow prays he’s right.
On the phone, Spinelli says his concern is alarmingly high. Maxie made it clear that Peter, aka Faison Junior, may become Georgie’s stepfather. He listens for a moment, and says, she absolutely does, but one doesn’t keep Jason in Russia for five years by accident. He’s going to pour over Peter’s records. He needs to prove to Maxie that Peter is no good before Peter hurts her and or her children.
Maxie and Peter start to get busy, but he says, no. He’d love nothing more, but he has to make this meeting. She says, so he’ll talk to Lucy tomorrow about finding a place. She picks up his bag, and tells him not to forget it. It’s heavy, and she asks, what’s in this? A dead body? He asks if she’s leaving, but she wants to freshen up. They’ll talk later. He kisses her one more time, and says he loves her. She says she loves him too, and he leaves.
Shiloh looks at Sam holding Wiley, and says, what a pretty picture. It could have been them. She couldn’t see it; too much fear. He tells Wiley that he’ll find him, whatever it takes. Sam gives Wiley to Dev, and tells him, go. Run. He leaves with the baby, and Shiloh puts his arm around Sam. He says she told him she could get this thing to Canada. Take them there. She says, that’s what she’s going to do.
Chase tells Willow, if the PD notifies him in a concrete way, he’ll be on it. Nothing will stop him from putting Wiley back in her arms. She says he won’t be put there, but she knows what he means. He holds her.
Brad asks what he’d do without Lucas, and Lucas says he’d be without coffee. He’s just as worried as Brad is, but Brad says he’s not losing it. How does he stay calm? Lucas asks if they’ve met. It’s a complete façade. He’s not super human. He’s wondering if Wiley is okay, or if he’s hungry, cold or scared. What’s keeping him from being completely terrified is, he’s furious that Shiloh, or anyone, could take Wiley away from his rightful parents. What monster does that?
On the phone, Maxie tells Georgie, sweet dreams. She sees some kind of receipt under Peter’s bed, and picks it up.
Carly says if Josslyn wants to spend more time with her dad, she’s okay with that. Jax just needs to make a home for her. He says he was ready put in an offer for one, and the funniest thing happened; Kate’s old place is back on the market. Sonny says he heard that, and was going to buy the place. They could be protected from difficult neighbors. Jax should move closer to the city. He’s sure Josslyn would love that. Jax says, Kate’s place would be convenient. He could put in a gate between their properties. Carly laughs. Josslyn runs in, and says she just knocked on Dev’s door. When he didn’t answer, she went in. A lot of his stuff is gone. She thinks he ran away.
Dev finds Jason on the pier, and gives Wiley to Jason. Peter is about to walk through, but sees them, and stays hidden. Dev says he tried to call. They needed help. Jason asks where Shiloh is, and Dev says, on the boat with Sam.
Shiloh tells Sam, the autopilot sure is something. He drinks a shot, and says she doesn’t have much to say when he’s right. Funny. After all the conversations they had, they never talked about his dad’s yacht. He’s sure she was on it quite a few times. He spent a lot of time there too. He knows all about the autopilot, and knows how to set it. He can get himself to Canada.
Tomorrow, Franco says he’s days are numbered, Carly says they’ll find Dev, and Willow tells Chase how to lure Shiloh out.
The Real Housewives of Orange County
In the ER, the nurse asks if Shannon wants to press charges. Shannon hopes Kelly understands the severity of what she did. Tamra asks what happens, and the nurse says they’ll call her in and make a police report. Shannon says she’s not going to do that. The nurse says she’s required to ask, and to let her know if Shannon decides otherwise.
The women left at Villa 7 decide to join Gina for dinner, but find there are candles, but no flashlights. They each take a couple of candles and hike over to the other villa. While the chefs prepare dinner, crystal healer Lindsey shows up. She puts a crystal in Gina’s hand, and tells her to breathe in the energy from her hand. She asks how Gina feels, and Gina says she feels happy. In Gina’s interview, she says she’s been through some gnarly sh*t this year. If you say, hold this rock and your problems will go away, she’ll do it.
Braunwyn, Tamra, Kelly, and Emily come in. Gina tells Kelly that Shannon is upset about Kelly hitting her on the head. She thinks Shannon is overdramatic, but Kelly shouldn’t have done it. Kelly says she knocked some sense into that bitch. She says, it wasn’t even that hard, and taps Gina on the head. Gina says, don’t effing touch her. Gina calls Kelly an effing bitch, and says, it’s too much. She leaves the room, and Emily says Gina’s not at fault. Kelly says she barely did it, but Emily tells her, go apologize.
Gina says she’s going home; don’t touch her. Kelly crossed lines, and she’s out of control. Kelly says, no, you, and they go back and forth for a while . Kelly says she’s been nothing but a good friend, and Gina says she could embarrass Kelly, but Kelly does a good enough job herself. Kelly says she doesn’t get warrants out for her arrest. Braunwyn tries to intervene, and Kelly tells Gina, it was a joke. Gina says she’s not in a place to take a joke. Kelly says, it was a joke, and hugs Gina. In her interview, Braunwyn says lashing out is a survival technique for Kelly. I’ll hurt you before you hurt me. She’s the same way, so she recognizes it. The waitstaff does not know what to do. They waiver between staring straight ahead and giving each other the side-eye. In Kelly’s interview, she thinks Shannon and Gina should get the stick out of their assess, and clear energy will flow through.
The lights come back on, and everyone is suddenly happy. Kelly says, let’s just party. Gina thinks Kelly has deeper issues with Shannon. Kelly says she doesn’t play for no reason, and Gina gives unsolicited advice. Gina says she doesn’t tell her friends what they want to hear. Kelly says she could take Gina’s advice if she was accomplished. In her interview, Kelly says Gina’s life is a hot mess, while hers is in a good place. She tells Gina that she hasn’t been to jail, but Gina says she has. We flash back to Kelly talking about being in the clink. Kelly says she’s not in debt. In Braunwyn’s interview, she says her kids don’t even do this. They’re in a beautiful place, and attacking on the lowest level. Gina tells Kelly, eff off. Braunwyn says they’re all friends. Gina is like their little sister. Gina says she’s more like the older sister. In her interview, Gina says she acts more mature than most of them. When did she become Skipper? Braunwyn says she didn’t mean it in a bad way. Gina says she’s going home.
Emily wants to talk to Gina, but Gina wants to go home. Her kids are crying for her, and this is the sh*t she’s putting up with. We see a clip of one of her kids wailing over the phone about her being gone. Emily says she’s effing pissed, and Gina says she is too. Emily asks what she did, and Gina says Emily was pressuring her about Vegas. She couldn’t go, and it’s been the worst time of her life. Gina starts crying, and Emily tells her, all she said was that Gina was her best friend. Gina says of course she wasn’t going. Emily should understand that, being a lawyer. In the living room, Kelly says she can’t take it. They’re at a wellness center, for Pete’s sake. Braunwyn laughs like a dolphin. Emily says Gina wouldn’t even talk to her. How does she think that made Emily feel? She was texting and calling, and getting no response. Who’s been there for Gina? In Emily’s interview, she wonders how she’s supposed to take the opportunity to be a good friend if she’s shut out. Gina says she’s so effed up, and she’s not even trying. Emily asks, what’s going on? and Gina says her feelings were hurt by what Matt did. In Gina’s interview, she can’t grasp why Emily doesn’t understand. She’d like sympathy for more than a day and a half. She tells Emily that Shannon and Tamra understand what she’s going through. Emily wasn’t around. Emily says she’s always around; she’s never not responded. Gina shoved her out, and got mad about something stupid. Gina says, it’s not stupid to her, but then, she’s not accomplished. Emily tells Gina that she didn’t say those things. Gina says she’s going to her casita, and leaves. Emily cries.
Shannon is sprung from the emergency room. She and Tamra get in a car, and Shannon says she has a splitting headache, and he vision is still blurry. Tamra says it was nice of her not to have Kelly arrested. In Shannon’s interview, she says they did a CAT scan. She needed that check that said she’s good. Tamra calls the villa, and Kelly asks what wrong with her? Braunwyn asks if Shannon is okay, and Kelly says, of course she’s okay. Tamra says she wasn’t going to let Shannon go to the hospital by herself, but Kelly says Tamra knows Shannon is full of sh*t. Tamra says Shannon has a mild concussion. Shannon says they did a CAT scan, and Kelly ask if they found a screw loose in Shannon’s head. In her interview, Shannon says, Kelly has a cruel way of speaking to people. She laughed when Shannon said the doctor told her she had a concussion. With the exception of altercations with her ex, no one has ever spoken to her like that. Shannon says, Kelly is a crazy bitch, and Tamra says she’s been telling Shannon for years that Vicki says Kelly is aggressive. Shannon says she’s in the freaking twilight zone right now. BTW, this is only five and a half hours after their arrival.
Kelly tells Emily that Gina is a dumbass. Emily doesn’t know why Gina is mad. She tried talking to her. She never thought anything could come between them. Kelly says, this is ridiculous. It’s Negative Nancy sh*t. In her interview, she says everyone is uptight, and finding a reason to be upset. She’s with old people. She takes some food to go. The staff is totally baffled, looking at the empty, beautifully set table. Emily drives the cart back, and things fall out as they go.
Gina sits by herself. Tamra comes in, and asks if Kelly is there. Gina says, no. She just went off. Shannon follows Tamra in, and Gina asks if she’s okay. Shannon says she has a concussion. We see a clip of Shannon and Tamra discussing the level of said concussion. Gina says Kelly hit the top of her head, and told her she’s not an accomplished woman because she doesn’t have homes and millions of dollars. While I think Kelly needs to keep her hands, and most of her words, to herself, Gina is taking that accomplished thing out of context. Tamra says they know Kelly is an a-hole. Don’t take it to heart; it’s just Kelly being stupid. Shannon says Gina is raising three young children by herself; she’s accomplished. Shannon says when the nurse asked if she wanted to bring in the police, Tamra’s mouth dropped open. If someone hit Kelly on the head, and she had a headache and blurry vision, she would have said, absolutely. Gina asks why she didn’t press charges, but Shannon says she can’t go back to being angry. Gina says she told Emily that she’s mad at her too, and Emily said she’s sorry she wanted Gina to go to Vegas. She gives up.
Braunwyn tells Emily that she’s sorry. She didn’t know Emily and Gina were such good friends. Emily says they did everything together, and talk every day. Braunwyn says, now Gina is hanging out with Shannon and Tamra, and they don’t like her; they never did. Kelly says they don’t like her either. They take a little thing and make it into a big thing. They don’t need them.
Shannon says she’s turned off by Kelly. She should have better things to say, than saying she wants to draw in Costco and Walmart. We flash back to that, I still don’t see what was wrong with her wanting a successful business venture. Tamra says, it looked superficial. Shannon asks if they should add up d*ck moves, and they agree it’s been a d*ck day. Tamra calls Vicki, who asks how Shannon is. Shannon says she has a headache, but feels better. She tells them Steve said what Kelly did is a felony. Shannon should report what happened. Shannon tells Vicki that she said no, and Vicki says she has up to a year. Tamra says it sounds like Vicki is pushing for it. Vicki says she doesn’t like anybody hurting anybody. Tamra tells her, hurry up.
Kelly calls Brian, and babbles incoherently about ding-dongs, and hitting on a bowl.
Shannon says Kelly has issues, but the one who guarantees sure fire fun when they travel is Vicki.
Vicki arrives, double-fisting take-out from In & Out Burger. She asks if Shannon is okay, and Shannon says she’s okay, but still has blurry vision. She had a drink, but the doctor said it was okay. In Vicki’s interview, she says, they need to up Kelly’s medication. They clink glasses, but there’s no specific toast.
Tamra tells Gina, these two a-holes were up until 4 am, laughing and screaming. We see a video from Vicki’s phone of her and Shannon roughhousing at nearly 4:30. Tamra doesn’t know how she’s getting them up. Tamra says Kelly wants her to call, so she will. Tamra asks why Kelly is so angry with her, but Kelly says she didn’t yell at Tamra; she yelled at Shannon. Shannon asks why Kelly was yelling at her. She tells Kelly to come to the villa, but Kelly says, Vicki is there. Tamra says they’ll keep Vicki in the bedroom. Vicki tries stepping out, and Tamra orders her to go back.
Kelly comes in with Emily, and Shannon says she’d been looking forward to this trip, but there’s been constant disrespect from Kelly. Kelly thought it was funny to hit her with a mallet. In her interview, Braunwyn says, it’s beautiful out. She just wants to go outside and find the wellness. Shannon tells Kelly that she’s never had someone speak her so cruelly. Kelly said she called it. Kelly says she knew it was going to happen, and it happened. Gina tries to interject, but Kelly says she’s not talking to Gina. In Gina’s interview, she says she’s not permitted to speak. This is so far from zen. Kelly says she wants to have a good time, and move on. Shannon says she didn’t want Kelly laughing when the doctor said she had a mild concussion. Kelly says Shannon doesn’t have a concussion, or she wouldn’t have been drinking. We see a clip of Kelly telling Brian that Shannon and Vicki stayed up until 4 am, partying. Brian says you wouldn’t do that with a concussion. In Kelly’s interview, she says, people need to see Shannon is a schemer. Kelly asks, what’s wrong with them? Shannon tells Kelly not to talk to her like that. She’s been nothing but a friend . Kelly asks if Shannon thinks for one second that bringing Vicki along makes her a friend. Vicki ruined her life, and they know that. Kelly gets up, and Tamra says she wants to discuss what’s really the issue. Shannon says it’s the way Kelly talks to people. Kelly says, not about the way Shannon schemes, and Shannon says she doesn’t scheme, and there’s nothing healing about this. Tamra says they’re all different, and react differently. Shannon went to the doctor, and it’s not a scheme. Kelly should have just said she hopes Shannon is okay. Kelly acknowledges she should have said she was sorry. Tamra says she goes into defense mode, and Kelly says she admits to that; she has issues with Shannon. We flash back to some of those, and she says she doesn’t know if Shannon likes her, but she doesn’t trust her. Tamra says maybe they can all work on their issue there. Kelly says she came to be better, and to better herself. She and Shannon hug. Shannon says Kelly has issues.
Gina tells Emily that she’s not doing it anymore; she’s not engaging. She doesn’t deserve this. Emily says she didn’t sleep last night. She started thinking about what Gina said. Gina says she thinks something is going on, and she thinks it has to do with Shane. She’s been spilling her guts, and Emily is asking what’s bothering her. When she said it was the Matt thing, Emily acted like it should be something new, as if that wasn’t enough. She told Emily when she was at Emily’s house, and Emily said she was there for her. It’s a process, and she opened up to Shannon and Tamra, and they’ve been taking her out and keeping her busy. In Emily’s interview, she says, Shannon didn’t know Gina’s name last year. She tells Gina, it’s one-sided. They treated her like sh*t for a year. What does Gina want from her? Gina says she needs Emily to be more sensitive to how it looks for her. Emily says, if Gina is worried about her image, why is she drinking a bottle of tequila in the back of a bus with Shannon? In Gina’s interview, she says Shannon is helping her through a hard time. Apparently, Emily has been judging her. Gina says Emily was dancing for her father-in-law on her anniversary, instead of her husband. There’s something weird about that. Emily says she never did a thing to Gina, and tells her, eff off.
Vicky asks Tamra what they’re doing today; staying in their pajamas? Tamra says she’s going out and doing something. One of the options is aerial yoga, so she’s going for that. In Shannon’s interview, she says, it wasn’t a very good start. Kelly tells Gina that she’s to talk. Gina says she doesn’t listen, and Kelly insists she does, but Gina comes at her. Gina says, the bottom line is, she’s going through a lot of sh*t that she can’t tell Kelly about or doesn’t want to. Kelly will throw it back in her face. She’s always going to bat for Kelly. Vicki came to Annabelle’s birthday party, and tried to talk about a rumor. We see a clip where Gina tells Vicki, she doesn’t want to hear it. Gina says she told Vicki to her face to stop talking about it. Then, her kids are crying for her not to go on this trip. Kelly pats Gina, who says, and Emily is mad at her. Kelly says Gina is shaking; that’s not good. She holds Gina, and Gina says she’s having a hard time, and Matt had an affair a long time ago, before she knew them. Kelly thinks Gina needs to stay home with the kids. In Kelly’s interview, she says she’s sorry she snapped at Gina. She needs to let go of her anger, and let the zen in. Gina says she held it in for so long, and all keeps coming out now.
Emily tells Braunwyn that Gina said she should cancel Vegas, since her husband didn’t want go. She didn’t want to cancel. She wanted to be proud of herself and feel confident. It feels like she was stabbed in the heart. Kelly says she talked to Gina, and she’s upset. She had a breakdown. Emily says Gina attacked her and made fun of her, saying she danced for he father-in-law. She did it for herself. Kelly says, everyone wants to fight. They decide to go to the aerial yoga. In Emily’s interview, she says she feels emotionally drained. She’s at a wellness retreat trying to get well, and she needs snacks and a nap. Where’s that yurt?
Braunwyn and Gina walk. Braunwyn tells Gina that she’s sorry she called her a little sister. She meant it as a term of endearment. Gina doesn’t think she said it with malice. She was already pissed off. Braunwyn says she didn’t know Emily was working on her relationship with Emily. She thought it was ending. Gina asks where Braunwyn got that impression, and Braunwyn says that’s the impression Emily gave them when she came back. Gina says she loves Emily, but Tamra and Shannon have been helping her through stuff. It has nothing to do with Emily. Braunwyn says Emily isn’t close with the rest of them, and Gina says she’s been trying to get Emily to open up more. In her interview, Gina says Emily is concerned about her other friendships instead of theirs, and that’ what affecting their friendship.
Yoga instructor Mary Grace welcomes the other women to aerial yoga. Gina tells Braunwyn that she loves Emily; they’re best friends, but Shannon and Tamra have been helping her through stuff. It has nothing do with her. Braunwyn thinks Emily should get close with everyone, and Gina says she’s been trying to encourage that. In her interview, Gina says Emily’s concern with her other friendships instead of theirs, is what’s affecting their friendship. The silks are set up. In Emily’s interview, she says her back hurts. She’d rather use the aerial thing as a hammock, and have someone bring her snacks. Gina and Braunwyn come to a circular path lined with stones. A guide tells them to walk with awareness, and they get notepads. They’re to write what they want to let go, and leave it in the center if they want.
Kelly mumbles about Vicki coming in. Mary Grace explains some moves. In Kelly’s interview, she says it’s like a knife in her heart. She dreads seeing Vicki. She’s afraid Vicki is going to bully her and pick on her. Oh no, there’s another bowl involved. Someone makes ringing sounds with it.
Gina and Braunwyn walk back. Gina says, in her head, she thought there was still a chance that she and Matt would end up together. She was talking to her therapist about it. She tells Braunwyn, this sh*t is hard. In her interview, Gina says she understands she needs to let go of this idea. She cries, and tells Braunwyn, it might sound stupid, but there’s something about physically writing the words and leaving them, that lets her know she’s really going to move on. It’s scary, but it feels good.
Emily asks what they’re going to do. We hear crickets, and Vicki asks how about them Mets was her Vegas thing? Emily says, good, and Vicki asks if she danced. She says she did, and Tamra asks why she and Shannon weren’t invited. Emily says she didn’t think they’d want to go. It went back and forth. She didn’t know if Shane was going or if it was going to be a girls trip. Tamra says if she didn’t want them to go, whatever. Emily says she wanted to go with people who are supportive and kind. Shannon says it’s not like she told them why; it wasn’t even brought up. Kelly says Tamra called Emily Shrek, and Emily says they make fun of her. We see a clip where Tamra is being nasty, and telling Gina that Emily is an animal; she’s like Shrek. In Emily’s interview, she says, when you attack someone’s physical appearance, it’s as low as you can get. She tells Tamra that she feels there’s no interest in getting to know her, and Kelly says Tamra doesn’t put forth any effort. Tamra says Emily doesn’t either. Emily asks what Tamra wants her to do. She feels like she’s always shot down when she reaches out. Tamra says they can’t be close if Emily doesn’t open up. In her interview, Tamra thinks Emily puts on a persona. She can’t understand someone like that. Tamra says Emily doesn’t need to be defensive. Emily says she apologizes, and wants to move forward. Vicki says no one has the intention of hurting each other, but Kelly says Vicki is always asking for dirt on her, and that’s her intention. Vicki says, that’s not the truth. Kelly says Vicki is a wackjob, and Vicki says, that’s not what happened.
Next time, naked ladies in the pool; Gina and Emily talk, and Emily says she felt abandoned; Tamra tells Vicki, if she doesn’t see something herself, don’t repeat it; and Kelly calls Vicki an effing psycho.
