What I Watched Today

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

General Hospital

Curtis says, so the guest was really into live music, huh? and Nika says, yes. He wouldn’t shut up about it. Curtis guesses he’ll have to add more nights, and says, the guest didn’t get heated or make her feel uncomfortable, did he? She says, no; he was harmless. He says, good. He wants The Savoy to be a safe place for anyone who comes there. Nina approaches the bar, and says, including her?

The watching man comes into the hospital, and sees TJ at the reception desk.

On the phone, Michael asks someone to have Mr. Sheridan call him back as soon as possible. It’s about his family’s donation to his campaign. Willow walks in, and says, donation? and he says, it’s good business to donate to politicians around the country. It doesn’t necessarily influence them, but it does always get you a meeting. She asks how she ended up with someone so smart, and he says, just lucky, he guesses. He’s got brains, brawn, and looks. She says he’s a triple-threat, and Michael says, who’s he kidding? He’s the lucky one. He takes her hands.

Austin meets Maxie outside, near a shopping area (another set we’ve never seen before!), and she says, he made it. She was starting to get worried. He says he found the place eventually, and she says she means she didn’t know if dinner out was at the top of his list, given that his medical license is on the line. He says, right. All thanks to Brook Lynn Quartermaine.

At the unnamed Italian restaurant, Ned thanks Olivia for having dinner with him tonight. Can she believe it’s been almost a year since they’ve been separated? She says she guesses time flies when you’re not having any fun, and he says he thinks it’s important to make time for each other, so they can figure out what comes next. She says, yeah, and continues to peruse the menu, and he says, unless she’s already made up her mind.

At the hospital, Elizabeth sees a flyer for GH Trivia Night, and flashes back to telling Terry that she and Finn make a pretty good team, and they’d gotten closer. In the elevator, Finn flashes back to the camping trip when they almost kissed. He slaps himself in the face, and gets out of the elevator, nearly running into Elizabeth.

Carly says, Sonny really went above and beyond in Nixon Falls. The town was about to be stolen out from under everyone, and it wasn’t because of him. He says he was just repaying the kindness the community showed him, and she says, he really invested in his life there. He says, it’s the only life he knew, and she says, now he’s home. She would have loved to have known Mike, but he seems to look a lot like the man she already knows. They kiss, and Jason walks in.

The watching man coughs, clutching his side, and TJ asks if he’s all right. He says he was on his way to a volunteer committee meeting, when he got this pain in his side. He’s sure it’s nothing. TJ asks his name, and he says, Marshall. TJ introduces himself, and says he’d feel a lot more comfortable if they could rule out anything serious. He asks Marshall to come with him, and they’ll get him checked out.

Curtis says he didn’t expect another visit so soon, and Nina says, a lot has happened in the last few hours. He asks Nika to bring a bottle over, and leads Nina to a table. Nina wonders if he has stuff to do, but he says he’s the boss; it’s called delegating. Nika comes to the table, and Curtis tells her to leave the bottle. Nina says, delegating works well for him. Maybe she should try it. Curtis thanks Nika, and she tells them, enjoy. Nina says, working is a distraction from the complete and utter mess she’s made. He asks, what happened? and she says, it’s everywhere. She has no right to expect Carly to keep it to herself, and he says, but it’s hard. She says, it’s hard.

Jason says he’s sorry; he should have knocked. Sonny says, wait. They just have to get this out in the open. It’s a lot for him. Jason and Carly got married, and then… Jason says, whatever happened between him and Carly was based on something that wasn’t true, and now they know the truth. He can’t speak for Carly, but he wants things to go back to what they had. Sonny walks over to the couch, and Carly says she wants the three of them to be the way they were, the way they’ve always been for twenty years. Sonny flashes back to telling Nina that he gets she doesn’t want his past life crashing down on her, and knows she came to Nixon Falls to get away from her past. He’s going to do everything in his power to prove to her that he understands, because he’s in love with her. He tells Jason and Carly, the past is the past. They just have to find a way to move on. Carly says, they will, because the three of them have survived too much together to lose each other over Nina’s lie. Jason says, and if it helps, he’s about to leave town.

Britt knocks at Terry’s office door, and Terry says, there she is. She had a bunch of questions she wanted to ask Britt, but she’s heading out. She guesses it will have to wait for tomorrow. Britt says Terry should run them by her now. She’s leaving the country tomorrow. Terry says, she’s joking, right? and Britt says, and she doesn’t know when she’ll be back. Terry asks if she’s supposed to hold down the fort while Britt goes on vacation indefinitely. No way. They’re Co-Chiefs of Staff last time she checked. Britt says, this is not a vacation. This is about her mother.

Elizabeth misses the elevator, and Finn says, sorry about that. She says she’ll take the next one, and they both say, I was just wondering… Elizabeth tells him to go first, but he says, she should go first, since he made her miss the elevator. She says she just saw another flyer for Trivia Night, and teams are filling up fast. He says, those are two-person teams, right? and she says she thinks so. Does he want to sign up together? He says, that sounds like fun, and yes, those words just came out of his mouth. She says she’s going to make sure he finds joy in something frivolous if it’s the last thing she does, and he says, she’s brave. She says, so it’s a date… She didn’t mean it like that. It’s not a date date. He says, what if it was?

Willow says, look at Michael; making moves, banking favors. Getting ready to take back control of ELQ? He says, hopefully. Not that he’ll be the one steering the ship. She says, right, and he says he thought they were on the same page. Ned runs ELQ for the family, and he runs Aurora to preserve Drew’s legacy and build something worthwhile for Scout. She says she knows, but that decision was made before his father came home, before they found out what Nina did to him. Now that they know, does he really think he can be Nina’s boss?

Curtis asks, what’s happened in the last few hours? and Nina says, she saw Sonny, and it was awful. He asks if Sonny freaked out, and she says, no. He was matter-of-fact actually. Curtis says, that’s almost worse, and she says, kind of. He asks if the subject of Wiley came up, and she says, Sonny’s position is that her relationship with Wiley is between her and Michael, and he won’t influence Michael’s decision as long as she stays away from the family. He says, that shouldn’t be too hard. She and Sonny hardly know each other.  

Sonny asks how long Jason is going to be gone, but Jason says he’s not sure. He’s going to help Britt search for her mother. Carly says, that’s generous of him, and Sonny asks, what happened to Obrecht? Jason says, Obrecht and Scotty were on their way to the Caribbean… Sonny says, wait a minute. Obrecht and Scotty are an item? Carly says he missed a lot in nine months, and Sonny says, apparently. Jason says, Scotty was ejected from the plane; he had a parachute, he’s fine. Obrecht was taken captive, and no one’s heard from her. Sonny asks, who’s holding Obrecht? and Jason says, there’s multiple players involved, but it all circles back to Peter August.

Britt tells Terry that she has a strong lead on what happened to her mother, and she needs to explore it. Terry says she’s not telling the authorities? but Britt says she doesn’t trust them. Terry says, and Britt trusts her? and Britt says, yeah. Terry says, look at them, and Britt says, they’ve come a long way. Terry says, don’t worry about things there. She’s got it covered. Britt says, if the Board starts asking questions… and Terry says she’s a masterful question dodger. Britt says, good to know, and thanks Terry. She’s going to go before Terry changes her mind, and Terry says, that would be wise. Good luck. Britt says, thank you. She’s going to need it. She leaves, and Terry’s phone rings. She answers and says, oh my God.

Finn says, he and Elizabeth haven’t had a chance to talk about what happened between them; his lips almost touching her lips. She says, they haven’t. In fact, she thinks they’ve done everything they can to avoid the subject. He guesses that makes sense. A lot of things can get complicated. He misses Hayden. She says, she misses Franco, and he says, there are many reasons, and more, for them not to avoid the subject. They need to stop acting like a couple of high school kids, and take a chance, and see where they could go. He’s talking crazy, right? This is crazy. He starts to walk away, and she says, no.

Olivia says it has nothing to do with Ned or the two of them, and he asks, what’s wrong? She says, Leo had his follow-up appointment with Dr. Diamond today, and Ned asks if it went well. She says she doesn’t like the guy, and he says, since when? She says, since he thinks there’s something wrong with her kid. He was suggesting she make an appointment with a pediatric neurologist. Can he believe that? He says, yes, he can.  

Maxie says she should probably stay out of the drama between Austin and Brook, and he says, that’s probably a pretty good idea. She says, an objective observation. Does he wonder if it’s all worth it? He says, so much for staying out of it, and she says, she gets fighting for his father’s birthright is important to him, but if it means losing his ability to practice medicine, is that what Jimmy Lee would really want for him? He says, if he didn’t know better, he might think she’s way more invested in this little Quartermaine squabble than she’s letting on. She says, invested? No… Well, the tiniest bit, but the same way she’s invested in who gets the final rose on The Bachelorette. These corporate shenanigans make for great gossip in Port Charles. He says he gets it, and she says she doesn’t know about him, but she could definitely use a drink. What does he say to dirty martinis? Is he interested?

Olivia tells Ned, Leo marches to his own drummer. So what? She doesn’t think that’s a problem. It’s like her Uncle Mario. He didn’t talk until he was five years old, not a word. And you know what? He became an artist. Creative people see the world differently; they experience it differently. She thinks it’s wonderful. He agrees, and she says, not all kids come flying out of the womb like Dante, all athletic and personable, and ready to take whatever the world throws at them. Not every kid is meant to be a social superstar. She thinks when you start turning it into a problem, and they see you wringing your hands over it, it does the child a disservice. Austin and Maxie walk into the restaurant.

Jason says, Peter showed up in Nixon Falls? and Sonny says he didn’t know who Peter was; he didn’t know who he was. Peter said he was an author, a friend and colleague of Nina. Once Sonny got his memory back, he was able to place him. Jason says, he threatened to kidnap Nina’s nephew James, and that’s why Nina called Obrecht, and Obrecht’s plan was to bump Peter off in St. Lucia. Sonny says, that’s when she disappeared, right? and Carly says, what she doesn’t understand is, Peter sees Sonny and doesn’t say anything? He clearly knows who Sonny is. Why not use that to his advantage?

Michael tells Willow, Drew’s initial deal was to give Jax the print media half of the company, and Crimson belongs to Jax. The companies share the same name, and have adjoining offices, but his half rarely interacts with Crimson. Willow says, but it’s still part of Aurora. All she’s saying is, no one would blame him for wanting to remove himself. He says, Nina can remove herself; he didn’t do anything wrong. She says, of course (🍷) he didn’t. She’s sorry. He says, she’s right; it’s a complicated situation. They sit, and he says, he talked to Avery today, and she’s so confused. He’s sure Donna is too. Willow asks what Avery said, and he tells her, Avery asked if Grandpa Mike is coming home the same way daddy did. When he told her, no, she burst into tears. She says, that sounds awful, and he says, it was. She asks if that’s something he’s thought about; having Nina removed? He says, it’s crossed his mind to make a case to force Jax to push Nina out, but that won’t solve the main issue. Willow says, Nina’s presence in Wiley’s life.

Nina tells Curtis, it’s no big loss. She and Sonny mean nothing to each other. She wants to move on with her life, but how? She wants to make it right with Phyllis, but how? It seems like there’s no real answers to anything, and she hates it. Is it going to go on forever? He says, no, it won’t. Take it from someone who’s made their fair share of mistakes and gone on to tell about it.

Marshall tells TJ, he hates hospitals; the lights, the sounds, the smells. TJ says it’s an interesting choice for him to volunteer there, and Marshall says he’s a glutton for punishment. TJ says his blood pressure is good. It’s a little low and something to watch for, but that’s not what’s causing his abdominal pain. Does he mind if TJ takes a listen? Marshall tells him, knock himself out, and TJ says, take a deep breath… exhale. Marshall says TJ looks awful young to be a doctor, if TJ doesn’t mind him saying so. TJ says he doesn’t mind. He just graduated from med school a few months ago. The man says, his parents must be awfully proud, and TJ says, his mom is; his dad passed away… It’s a long story. The man says, sorry. He gets chatty when he’s nervous in a hospital. TJ says, consider him an open book, and Marshall asks if TJ has a better half. TJ says he does, his partner Molly. Marshall says he bets she tells all her girlfriends about her man, the doctor, and TJ says, she’s pretty impressive in her own right, but Molly’s not like that. His uncle, on the other hand, will pull aside complete strangers on the street, and let them know his nephew is an MD. Marshall says his uncle sounds like hoot. Tell him more.

Olivia asks if Austin is relaxing from a long day of sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong, and he says he’s sorry. It wasn’t his place to say anything about Leo. She says he’s damn right it wasn’t, but that didn’t stop him, did it? Anything to distract Ned. Austin will use her son’s unique personality or Chase’s broken heart. Why in the world would she trust anything he has to say? She tells him, stay the hell away from her kid, and storms out.  

Marshall says, it sounds like TJ comes from a very tight knit family. He hopes TJ knows how lucky he is, and TJ says he does. Marshall grabs his arm, and tells him to hold onto that. Hold onto that for as long as he can. He lets go, and says, sorry. TJ says he doesn’t hear anything abnormal, and Marshal laughs, saying, that’s a relief. TJ says he’d like to ask an attending physician to take a look in case he missed something, and asks if Marshall is okay by himself. It might take a minute for him to flag someone down. Marshall says he’ll be right here.   

Nina says she appreciates Curtis attempting to relate, but he’s never pulled a stunt like this. He says, maybe not, but there was a time he went down a path that caused a lot of pain for people he cares for, and for the people he served. Think about all those cases that will never be tied up because he had his badge taken away. She says, he had an addiction. She made the conscious choice to do something wrong. He says, it’s not the same, and she says, not even close. He says, how about this? He thought he’d spend the rest of his days paying for his sins from the worst chapter of his life, but his misdeeds and transgressions are in the past and behind him. And one day, probably sooner than she expects, hers will be too.

Michael tells Willow that he wishes he could snap his fingers and make this whole situation go away; just declare Nina is forbidden to see Wiley. She says, to do that, they’d have to take Nina to court. Is that what he wants? He says, honestly, yes. If it means keeping that woman away from their son, then yes. She says, okay, but she’s asking him to reconsider

Jason tells Sonny and Carly, Britt and Scott kept hitting dead ends, so they asked him for help. Spinelli took a look at Scotty’s computer, and found out it was being monitored from Greece. They went to see Nikolas, and Britt got him to admit there’s a Cassadine compound in Crete; or at least there used to be. Sonny says, that explains the Cassadine connection, but Jason said Peter was behind all this. Jason says, yeah, Peter and Victor Cassadine, and Carly says, dead Victor Cassadine? Jason says, not so dead. It makes sense, because Peter was always close to the Cassadines, especially Helena. The doorbell rings, and Sonny asks if the guards don’t call anymore. Carly says, they absolutely do, and Jason says, it’s Britt. He told Frank to let her up. Britt comes in, and Carly says she hears Britt’s taking Jason away from them.

Elizabeth says she thinks Finn might be right. She thinks maybe they should figure out what’s happening between them. Terry walks up, and asks if Elizabeth has a second, and Elizabeth asks, what’s up? Terry says, maybe they should have the conversation in private, and Elizabeth says, it’s just Finn. Unless it’s something terrible. Is it terrible? Terry says, nothing like that. Maybe she’s making a bigger deal out of it she should. Finn tells her, just take the bandaid off, and she says, someone called asking about Elizabeth. (Fooled again by the preview.) Elizabeth asks, who? and Terry says, her father.

Ned says, obviously, he doesn’t speak for Olivia, and Austin says, does anyone speak for Olivia? Ned and Maxie say, no, at the same time, and Ned says, in talking to another doctor, it appears there may be some merit to Austin’s concern about Leo. Austin says, okay, but he still should have kept his mouth shut. If he had, then maybe Ned’s daughter wouldn’t be trying to get his medical license revoked. Ned says, sorry. What? and Austin says, Brook threatened to file a formal HIPPA complaint unless he stops contesting Edward’s will. Ned asks Maxie, is this true? and Maxie says, unfortunately, yes. Ned says he had no idea. He wishes Brook hadn’t, because despite their legal battle, Ned believes in Austin as a doctor, and knows Austin is only looking out for Leo’s best interest. He tells them, excuse him, and jets.  

Elizabeth says, her father called Terry? and Terry says, Jeff left a message on Elizabeth’s voicemail when Franco died, but she never called him back. Elizabeth says, and he never called again, so what does that tell her? Terry guesses he heard about her new position at GH, and reached out to see how Elizabeth is holding up. Elizabeth asks what Terry told him, and Terry says, that she’s not his go-between. If Jeff wants to know how Elizabeth is doing, Elizabeth has to talk to him.

Britt says she asked Jason for help, but it’s Jason’s choice; he doesn’t have to. Jason says, it’s already settled; he’s going. Sonny says they’re happy to help. For what it’s worth (🍷), he hopes she finds her mother. Britt says, it’s worth a lot. She knows she and her mother aren’t their favorite people, with good reason, but Sonny says, it doesn’t matter what they think. If Britt is going to do everything she can to find her mother, he hopes she does. She thanks him, and tells Jason that she’ll wait outside for him. She leaves, and Jason says, so, are they okay?   

Willow tells Michael that, in no way, shape, or form is she defending Nina or her actions. What she did to Michael’s father is indefensible. He says, but? and she says, but she already retreated with her tail between her legs. Willow thinks it will be a long time before Nina comes knocking on their door again. He says, so they let the whole thing slide? and she says, no, they let it lie… for now. Because if they tell Nina that she’s not allowed to see Wiley, what does he think will happen? He says, she’ll contact a lawyer, and Willow says, and that lawyer will tell her that in the state of New York, grandparents do have rights. The fact is, Nina has plenty of time and money to spend on a long, ugly court battle. He says, a court battle not likely to go in their favor, and she says, don’t let his emotions drag them into something that might work against them; it’s not worth the risk. He thanks her for talking him down, and she says, anytime. He says, who’s the smart one now? and she says they can share the title. So no court battle for Wiley? He says, no court battle for Wiley. That’s definitely not the way to go.

Nina thanks Curtis for the talk, and breaking out the good stuff. He says, nothing but the best for her, and she says, all the more reason for them to make this a regular thing. Does he have time for one more, or does he have to schmooze with the clientele? He looks at his watch, and says he has to meet TJ. They’re going to a midnight movie. (Rocky Horror?) She says, that’s fun, and he says she’s more than welcome to come, but she says her big plan is to set right there. He asks Nika to please make sure his lovely friend Nina has everything she wants. Nika says he’s got it, and he tells Nina to remember what he said. He knows it doesn’t seem like it right now, but soon all this will be behind her. He leaves, and she says she can’t wait.

TJ goes into the examining room, saying, Dr. Russo can be here in ten minutes, but he finds the room empty.

Maxie says, Olivia is right about one thing; Austin did use Chase to further his own cause. That’s not her judging him. God knows, she’s no saint. He thanks her for not judging him, and she says, you know what stinks about manipulation? You feel like crap afterwards, and nobody trusts you anymore. He says, to be clear, what happened with Michael, Willow, and Chase, they’re consenting adults. It’s got nothing to do with him, but she’s right. He does feel like crap about Leo. She says she can tell it’s really bothering him, and he says, because Leo needs help. As long as they’re not judging people, he doesn’t blame Olivia, but she’s just not listening. Maxie says, maybe Ned will?

Outside, Oliva says she’s sorry for going off like that, but Ned says he understands. She says, does he? Because, no offense, he just comes from a different class. His family always reacts like this. If something even begins to present itself as a problem, they just start throwing money at it. Send the kid to a billion specialists. Maybe Leo doesn’t need that. Maybe it’s not a problem. Maybe Leo just needs to be his Leo self, and do his Leo stuff in his Leo world because he likes it there. Ned says he gets what she’s saying, but hearing what another doctor has to say doesn’t mean you’re committing to anything or anyone; it’s just more information to have. She says, that’s already calling it a problem, when she just sees him as her son. Getting a bunch of specialists, and making appointments, is going down a road she doesn’t want to go down, but she does want to go home.

Finn asks if Elizabeth is okay, and she says she’s fine. He says, if she wants to talk, he’s there, and she thanks him. The only thing she wants to think about right now is bringing home the gold on Trivia Night, and she’s signing them up. She gets in the elevator, and when the doors close, Finn says, that sounded intense. Terry says he doesn’t know the half of it, but anything more than that, he’ll have to hear it from Elizabeth.

Sonny says, they’ve all been through a lot. Carly and Jason know how much they mean to him, so can they not bring this up again? Jason says, okay. He’s going to take off. Sonny tells him to watch his back. Peter August is bad news. Jason says he’ll be careful, and Carly tells him, he always says that. He says he’ll do his best, and leaves.

Jason meets Britt outside, and says, a Porsche. She says, buckle up; she’s driving. He sighs and follows her.

Sonny asks how Carly feels, and she says, like they’re one step closer to getting their life back. She’s so glad everything is out in the open. She hugs him, but he doesn’t look very happy. Probably because everything isn’t out in the open.

Willow says, whatever she and Michael choose for Wiley, they have to be sure it’s the right decision, because once it’s made, their son is the one who has to live with the consequences. He says he hears her, and he promises when it comes to visitation, it’s a decision they’ll make together. They kiss, and Michael’s phone rings. He says he should take this, and she says, back to making moves she sees. She has something to do anyway. They exchange I love yous, and she leaves. He thanks Mr. Sheridan for getting back to him so quickly… Yes, his family is still interested in donating to his campaign for Pennsylvania Attorney General. There’s just one wrinkle they’d like to iron out first. There’s been a crime in his jurisdiction that hasn’t been prosecuted yet. It involves a woman named Nina Reeves. Whoa. Bad move without consulting Sonny first.

Nika asks if she can get Nina anything else, but Nina says, no thank you. She has to get back to her life… eventually.

Curtis finds TJ by the vending machine, and says he hopes TJ is properly excited for this movie. TJ says he’s looking forward to it, and Curtis asks if everything is okay. TJ says, he guesses it is. He was examining a patient, and told him to wait while he grabbed a second opinion, but when he came back, the patient was gone. Curtis says, maybe he felt better and took off. He’s sure the patient will be in touch if it’s anything serious. TJ hopes so, and we see Marshall watching them from the landing above.

Tomorrow, Brook says, gold star for her; Austin says, if they want to play dirty, bring it on; Ned says he hears Olivia, but doesn’t agree with her; and Nina tells Phyllis that she knows where she stands with Sonny.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – The Reunion Part 2

We jumped right in with Andy asking why Erika didn’t leave Tom sooner after she found out he cheated. She said she’d told Tom, if he was in love someone else, divorce her, but he said nothing. Andy said Tom had been unfaithful for years, and asked if she’d been faithful. She said she was up until she filed for divorce, and I can believe that. We saw clips of Erika saying how great her marriage was, clips of the women finding out she was getting divorced via the headlines, and clips of Erika telling the alleged truth. Little by little. Andy asked how she felt watching it again, and she said, it’s okay. She said she’d highlighted the best of Tom, and Andy asked why she hadn’t left sooner. She said, where was she going to go? Andy said he knew what she made, and it was decent, but she said she handed all her money over to Tom, and couldn’t access any of it. She had two credit cards, and they would have been cut off. Andy asked if she’d thought the ship was sinking, and that’s why she finally left, but she said she felt Tom was sinking. There were some questions even I found intrusive, but the topper was a viewer asking how Tom could go from being so sharp into such a huge decline. That one wasn’t so much intrusive as ignorant. Erika said he was a master persuader and master performer. He couldn’t tell you the names of anyone there, but could tell stories. She said she’d done everything humanly possible to do right by him. One physician said he didn’t want get involved because Tom might sue him. People still feared Tom. XXPEN$IVE was brought up by a viewer, which was just stupid, since it’s called entertainment. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not an Erika fan because of her attitude, and I think she knew something was up, but some of this stuff is ridiculous. Erika said she was just trying to figure out what TF happened. She was overwhelmed, sad, heartbroken, bewildered, and at times, wondering what was real. I do think she loved him. She loved the money too, but that’s a separate issue. Erika said divorce revealed a hidden side of the partner. When Sutton was divorced, she hadn’t known she owned a baseball team. She said she had to worry about herself now. Whatever Tom did, or didn’t do, was on him, and his life was over. She just turned 50, and had to survive it.

A viewer pointed out that Dorit’s The Pearl dress was $35K, and Dorit said, it was luxury collection, and that was the jewel of it, but most were between five and six thousand. Her obsessive talking was the next topic, and Andy yawned when she was talking, which was pretty amusing. She asked if she was boring him. Another viewer asked if maybe it wasn’t Kyle who couldn’t shut up, giving several examples, but Kyle said, circumstances were different. Yeah, it’s always different when it’s you. Garcelle’s talk with Dorit was examined, and Garcelle said it was difficult, but necessary, and added that everyone on social media took things too seriously. We saw a clip from Beyond Salem where LisaR and Eileen Davison used some Housewives lines, and Eileen did some table flipping. We revisited Harry’s garden, and his domestic skills, and LisaR gave Andy a jar of Harry’s sauce. We flashed back to Scott Disick being old and having three kids. Bill from Manhattan asked who pressed the eject button on his and Amelia’s relationship, and LisaR said it was Amelia. We found out Harry Styles is a big fan of the show, although why, I can’t imagine. Crystal, whose husband is 20 years her senior, said she had no age gap problem with her parents, since they’re 23 years apart. LisaR said she and Amelia celebrated Lois’s 93^rd birthday, and we saw (I presume) a TikTok video of the three of them dancing. I got bored with LisaR, and took note of everyone’s outfits. More understated than in Reunions past, I liked everyone’s look, but Kathy’s was especially charming; a sheer, red dotted Swiss dress over a red sheath. I love those sheer pieces.

We flashed back to Kyle and Kathy’s relationship, or lack thereof, over the years. Andy said it was nice that there was a happy ending, and asked how Kathy felt seeing the clips. She said it was sad, and then Andy rubbed it in by showing the clip from the first season when Kyle called Kim an alcoholic in the limo. Andy said it must have been painful, and Kathy said she wondered what her mom would have thought. She hoped it helped other people not to waste time, seeing the sisters’ estrangement. Kathy talked about their mother again, and started bawling. Kyle comforted Kathy, saying their mother was happy they were together, and it was okay to cry.

Next time – The Reunion Part 3 – Crystal worked for an escort service, Andy pumps Erika some more, Erika says they don’t know what she has done or will do, and they’d have to wait and see. I just wish she’d drop the defensive act. It’s officially getting old.

⛷ Winter House was as bad as I thought, but with the added bonus of way too many people. They weren’t all there yet, but I by my count, cast members were, Ciara, Paige, Luke, Kyle, Amanda, Craig, Austen, Gabby, Jason (not sure who those last two are), some guy from Italy named Andrea, and also from Italy, Julia. Everyone was staying at a house in Stowe, Vermont. Either Shep is still with his girlfriend, or finally realized he’s too old for this sh*t. Craig said he was there figuring things out about him and girlfriend Natalie. He thought they were at the point in the relationship where you either get married or break up. In his interview, Andrea said his dream was to marry an American girl and move back to Italy.
