What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
On the phone, Nina says, Alexis isn’t in. It’s their other boss, and she needs help. Every time she tries to use this computer, she just gets an error message, 3331. What does that even mean? There’s a knock at the door, and she says, finally. She tells the person on the phone, never mind, and thanks them. She says, come in, and Drew walks in. She says, this was unexpected. Does she need to call security? He says, they both know there’s no such thing as security, don’t they?
At the photo shoot for Bellpo magazine, the photographer tells Sasha that he wants big energy from her. Not so accessible. They want a little bit of distance. She’s strong and nobody can touch her. Sasha says, got it, and he starts to take photos. The Bellpo rep says he has some notes for the model, and the photographer tells Sasha that they just have to make a little adjustment. Everybody take five. Lucy goes over to Sasha and Sasha asks if there’s something wrong. Lucy says, no. It’s going great. They just need the photographs to be a teeny, little bit different. Why doesn’t she pretend like she doesn’t really want to be here. Like she’s kind of doing them a favor. Get it? Try that.
Spinelli gives a handout to Tracy, Brook, and Maxie, saying, lovely ladies of Deception. Follow along as they go through… Cody comes in and says, sorry. He didn’t mean to interrupt. He thought he could swing by any time. Maxie says, it’s totally all right. They’re just about to go through their new security protocols. He should stay because he does work for Deception. He says he does, and Tracy tells him, pull up a chair. Why should they be the only ones to suffer? Maxie says she thought he’d be at Sasha’s photo shoot, and Cody asks, why? It’s a solo photo shoot. He doesn’t need to be Sasha’s keeper. Maxie says, that’s true. Sasha does have Lucy there to smooth out any problems. Tracy laughs and says, doesn’t she mean create problems? Does anyone know Lucy Coe?
TJ says he’ll be observing Dr. Enoch during Heather’s surgery. While prepping, he observed there were some gaps in her chart, and he needs more information from her before the surgery. Heather says, fire away, doc, and he asks if she has any allergies. She says, only to other people, and he says, great. No allergies. Has she had any adverse reactions to anesthesia? She says, is being forced to wake up from it count? and he says he’ll take that as a no. (Ha! Sounds like me. I had it once and it was the best sleep I ever had.) His phone dings, and he says he’ll be back. Heather says she’ll be here, showing him her handcuffs. He leaves, and Willow starts to follow, but Heather asks if Willow’s not going to shave her head. Willow says she’s sorry, what? and Heather says, shave her head for the surgery, but Willow says, that won’t be necessary. The surgery is on her hip. Heather says, but she thought heads were shaved for every surgery. If not, finally things are looking up. Willow says, if she needs anything, use her call button, and leaves. Heather tells Laura that she still looks such a fright with her hair all in knots. Oh well. She used to have such pretty hair, didn’t she? Laura says, yeah, and Heather says, it’s been so long. Remember? She used to set it all the time. Laura says, it was beautiful, and Heather says, a long time ago. Another life.
TJ says he’s sure Elizabeth knows Heather Webber’s surgery is this morning, and Elizabeth says, the metalosis diagnosis is kind of crazy, but she doesn’t know a lot about that condition. He says, cobalt poisoning from the breakdown of an artificial hip can be extremely painful and it can disrupt normal organ function in the body. He asks her to excuse him and steps away. Deanna tells Elizabeth that there’s a discrepancy in the med storage area, and Elizabeth says, which is? Deanna says, simply put, the inventory doesn’t match. It’s short. Willow overhears. (Geez, it’s not like it’s opiates.)
Looking at the computer, Elizabeth says, this is the first she’s hearing about a discrepancy. Oh yeah. She sees what Deanna is talking about. Deanna asks if this is something they need to worry about, but Elizabeth says, not yet. It could be a mistake. Sometimes the pharmacy is slow with an update. That could be the issue. Willow texts Michael, and Elizabeth says, when people are selling drugs, it’s the painkillers they’re taking, not the antibiotics. (Thank you.) Willow asks if it’s okay if she takes her break a little early, and Elizabeth says, she can go. It’s actually pretty quiet right now. Willow says she’ll be back, and heads for the elevator.
The photographer tells Sasha, more defiant. Can’t be bothered… A little more edge… more danger. The rep tells Lucy, this isn’t working. There’s no risk, no aloofness. She’s too accessible, too sweet. He tells the photographer, let’s do some motion, and the photographer tells Sasha, let’s do this. Turn her body to the left and look over her shoulder. She hears Lucy talking and asks if they can just stop for a minute. They’re clearly not happy with what they’re seeing, so just tell her exactly what they want, and she can do it. The rep says, it’s not that. She’s doing a great job. Lucy says, the best, and he says, unfortunately, he just doesn’t think the shoot is going to work, for reasons that are beyond their control. Sasha says, oh wow. Okay. That’s too bad. The rep steps away, and Sasha tells Lucy that she guesses they have a free morning. Lucy says, great.
Spinelli says, the improvements he’s made to Deception’s cybersecurity have made it virtually impenetrable. Maxie will not only be the queen of Deception, but also queen of the passcodes. So to access any company file, each of them will need a new code from Maxie every day, while Maxie herself will be getting a new code every morning. Brook says, sounds super secure, and Tracy says, sounds super annoying. Spinelli says, this much security does require extra steps, but it should provide security to the companies, and it should prevent intrusion to the companies indebted and proprietary holdings, such as the ones that threatened The Deceptor not long ago. Tracy asks if he means the one that was created to find intellectual property theft, and Brook says, grandmother… Tracy says, it’s what they’re all thinking, when Maxie’s phone rings. Maxie says, it’s the rep for Bellpo. She has to take this. Excuse her. She leaves, and Spinelli tells them, as he was saying…
On the phone, Maxie asks how the photo shoot is going… It’s canceled? What do they mean?… That’s ridiculous.
Nina says, as Drew can see, she’s extremely busy. He says he sees her staring at the computer screen, but she’s not actually doing anything. She says she can’t log on and the tech is taking forever to get here, and he says, allow him. She says, why? and he says, because he wants her to finish whatever it is she’s doing so she can focus. She asks how he thinks he’s going to log her on. Telepathically? He doesn’t work here. He knows nothing about The Invader’s system. He says, since she’s sitting at Alexis’s desk, he would consider using her password, but she says, they’re not contacting Alexis. They don’t exactly see eye to eye on this writer she hired. She’s trying to post his column before he gets here to derail it. He says, lucky for her, Alexis’s password is on a little sticky note right there. She might want to try that. Nina says she’ll eventually have to talk to Alexis about that potential security risk, after she uses it this one time. She puts in the password and says, yes! What she needs to do is drag the file underneath the header and then just hit post it and done. She laughs and Drew looks like he wants to. She says she’s leaving and she’s going to lock the office, so he’ll have to wait for Alexis outside. He says he’s not actually here to see Alexis. He’s here to see her. She asks, why is that? and he says he’s just wondering how she’s enjoying running The Invader. She says, he wants to know how she likes the job she took after he fired her, and he says, just humor him. She says, okay. It’s not exactly the job she was born to do, and Alexis hates her and all her ideas for making the paper more successful. Then again, she’s getting used to being Port Charles’s favorite punching bag. Why does he ask? He says he’s just wondering, does she miss Crimson?
Laura finishes brushing Heather’s hair and Heather asks if it looks any better. Laura takes out a mirror and says, why doesn’t Heather have a look for herself? What does she think? Heather looks and says, seeing herself in a mirror isn’t something she does much these days. She usually looks better or worse than this? Laura says she thinks Heather looks really good for somebody who’s about to go into surgery, besides, hospital lighting doesn’t do anybody any favors. Heather says, it’s just so strange having this older lady staring back at her. She’s not used to it. She used to be pretty, didn’t she? Laura says she thought so. They all age, and it’s not such a bad thing considering the alternative. Heather says, that’s true, even if they’re not girls anymore. Now they’re co-grandparents. She bets Laura didn’t see that coming. She laughs, and Laura tells her that she can’t say she did. Heather asks how Ace is. Did the antibiotics work on that ear infection of his? Laura says, yes. Worked like a charm. He’s back to his normal, happy self. Heather says, good. One of the disclaimers on the form she filled out said she could die during this operation. Laura tells her not to worry about that. It’s standard procedure for anybody who’s having surgery in the hospital. Besides, her doctor is a very skilled surgeon, one of the best in New York. She’s going to be fine. Heather says, maybe she will, maybe she won’t. It was so nice of Laura to come this morning. She’s the mayor. She has a city to run. She doesn’t have to stay. Laura says, nobody should be alone before surgery. Besides, there aren’t many of us Webbers left, right? Maybe they should stick together. Heather says, it’s nice that Laura remembers her the way she was. She’s glad somebody can.
Willow meets Michael in the stable and says she’s on her break. The meds she took to treat Jason have been flagged in the system as missing. Thank God she didn’t take painkillers, or the police would have already been called, but Elizabeth will have to look into it. He asks if there’s anything that will lead back to her, and she says, no, but Elizabeth is in charge. She’s going to have to answer for the discrepancy. Michael asks if there’s any chance it’s a computer glitch or paperwork error, but she says, no. Everything that goes out of that pharmacy is scanned electronically. This was not. They know it’s missing. He says, they’ll figure this out. Don’t panic. He promises they’ll figure it out. She asks, how? and he says he doesn’t know… yet. She asks if he’s seen Jason this morning, and Michael says, he’s doing okay. He’s moving around better. She says she’s glad Jason is getting better, but she can’t see a way out of this situation for them or him. He says, it’s hard to come up with a plan when they’re still in the dark about so much, and she asks if Jason told him what happened at the warehouse that night, or where he’s been, or why he came back now. He says, what Jason told him, he already told her. Just that he was working as a mercenary for someone who has leverage over him. That’s all he’d say.
Maxie comes back and says, sorry for the interruption. Everything’s fine. Brook says, everything is not fine, and Maxie asks what she means. Brook says, Cody just texted Sasha to let her know how Dante’s doing, and she let him know the photo shoot got canceled. What’s going on? Cody says, sorry, and Brook says, Bellpo is one of the biggest fashion magazines in the world. Sasha being on the cover would have meant huge exposure for Deception. Tracy asks what she wants to bet Lucy messed this up somehow, but Maxie says, it’s not a big deal. She knows how fashion people can be. They run hot, they run cold, they probably just wanted to regroup and find a new direction for the photo shoot. She asks Spinelli what other systems they’re upgrading, and he says he’s glad she asked. He installed the strongest antivirus software available… Lucy comes in with Sasha and says, oh. The gang is all here. Tracy asks what she did to get the photo shoot canceled. Lucy says, I beg your pardon? Tracy says, they know it was called off and they also know she was there, so it must be her fault. Sasha says, it wasn’t Lucy’s fault. She doesn’t know what happened. The shoot just felt off from the start. The Bellpo creative director clearly wasn’t happy, but couldn’t articulate to her why, and the photographer just seemed annoyed that he wasn’t getting the shot. She feels like she did everything she was asked to do and still, it wasn’t working. Brook says she doesn’t get it, and asks Lucy, what happened? Lucy says, a simple problem that can easily be fixed. Sasha is just too wholesome.
Sasha asks, what is too wholesome? and Lucy says, don’t take this the wrong way. It’s just her photographs are too approachable, too radiant. They’re just too darn nice. Maxie asks what Lucy is doing, and Brook tells Sasha not to listen to her. She’s beautiful. Any woman would kill to look like her. Sasha says, let Lucy talk, and Lucy says, it’s intangible. It’s aloofness. It’s edgy. It’s like the model is just out of reach. Kind of like Kate Moss. There was a reason she was on all those covers. Because she had that look. Tracy says, so she wants Sasha to model heroin chic. They think she didn’t do her research before she took over a cosmetics company? Cody says, this is insane. Sasha’s gorgeous and if a photographer can’t capture that, they’re clearly incompetent. Lucy says, obviously she’s gorgeous. No one is saying otherwise. She doesn’t mean to be rude. This isn’t nice or polite to say, but they need exposure. They need Sasha on the covers of those magazines, and they need that kind of exposure now more than ever. So think about it. She is the Face of Deception. Beautiful, yes, but they need mystery, unavailability. They need edginess. Does Sasha think she can do that for them?
On the phone, Elizabeth says, it’s only a small amount, no street value, only known to medical professionals. She’s going to pull the records of everybody who logged in and out of the pharmacy storage in the past few days, and she’ll get back to them. Deanna asks if she was able to clear up the discrepancy, and Elizabeth says she’s still looking into it. It’s not really enough to affect their standing supply, so it could still be just a reporting error. Deanna asks, what if the meds are really gone? and Elizabeth says, that would mean their system isn’t secure, and that would be a much bigger issue. Deanna asks if someone could lose their job over this, and Elizabeth says, the person in charge. That would be her.
Willow says, what happens if that FBI agent who tried to question Danny questions them? Do they lie? Is that perjury or obstruction of justice? And even if that doesn’t happen, what do they do about the drugs? She can’t let Elizabeth take the fall for the meds she stole. Michael says he doesn’t know. He’s trying to figure this out just like her. What he does know is, he was sent to prison when he was 17 years old. He was just a kid. He was beaten so badly. She knows what happened to him. He couldn’t protect himself. He couldn’t stop the hell he was in, so Jason got himself sent to prison too, to protect him. Jason saved his life. He wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Jason, so whatever he needs right now, however he can help Jason, he’s going to do it. He’s asking her to stand with him and help Jason too.
Nina brings in some coffee and says she thought Drew could use some caffeine and sugar, and he asks if he should have her taste them first. She says, ten people saw her buy these. If she was going to poison him, she’d be more discreet. He says, she’s had time to think about his question, and she says she has. She could lie to save her pride, but what’s the point? She misses Crimson. Crimson is her baby, so she misses her. She has to say, being Editor in Chief of Crimson did not prepare her for the newspaper business. The Invader is like a jigsaw puzzle with the pieces constantly moving. He says, it’s the Peter Principle playing out in action. She’s advanced to her level of incompetence. She asks if he can spare her his psychoanalysis of her abilities, and he says, it’s very simple. She was successful enough at Crimson, and she’s failing at this job because subverting the truth about beauty and fashion is practically why magazines like Crimson exist, but when you lie in a newspaper, that’s not good. You’re going to get cot caught. She says she sees what’s happening here. He’s framing this as if it’s her who’s not able to do her job. She thinks it’s the opposite. Is Carly failing at running Crimson? He says he pushed Carly into taking that job. She was never the right fit. She says, and he’s expecting her to believe at some point in their pillow talk, Carly suggested giving Crimson back to her? She knows she has a youthful glow, but she wasn’t born yesterday. He says, Carly and Crimson have parted ways. He fired her. She says, that can’t have gone over well. Carly was so happy to watch her get fired. She was almost giddy when she was able to tell Nina that she was her replacement. He says, after what she did to Carly, can she blame her? Carly never wanted that job at Crimson anyway. She says, so here they are. He and Carly were so united in humiliating her, but he’s alone, asking her if she misses Crimson. Oh my God. Carly dumped him.
Cody says, Lucy owes Sasha an apology, but Sasha says, it’s fine. Lucy’s right. The beauty industry is very different from the real world. Tracy looks at her phone and says she’s sorry. As much as she would like to stay, she’s just gotten an alert that there’s something at the hospital the board members need to be aware of, so she has to go. She congratulates Lucy on another fabulous meeting, and leaves. Maxie says, might she remind Lucy that Sasha is her hand-picked Face of Deception? She can’t hire Sasha for her look, then ask her to change into something she’s not. Cody thanks her and says, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Sasha. She radiates warmth. Her smile could light up a city block. Lucy says, that’s true, but they desperately need that exposure and magazines do not want wholesome. They want mystery. They want edge. So they need another face, a second face. Spinelli’s phone rings and he says he’s sorry. He has to take this. He dashes out.
In the hallway, Spinelli says, Michael? Michael thanks him for picking up and asks if he’s ever hacked into the GH pharmacy control system. Spinelli says he’s not sure. Perhaps in his wild, misspent youth. Why?
Drew asks if Nina is almost done, but she says, not quite. Not even close. He had his moment of victory, so she’s going to enjoy hers. He says, there’s really nothing uglier than expressing joy at somebody else’s misfortune (maybe Drew needs to be tested for cobalt poisoning), and she says she completely agrees. She’s had extensive experience with that, usually as the target, so this is a nice change. Let her guess. Carly ditched him 30 seconds after Jason reappeared. He says, it wasn’t like that, and she says, after he went to prison for her and everything. He says, Carly wasn’t the one who sent him to Pentenville, it was his own fault she was, and she asks what he wants. Obviously, he’s still angry with her. Is he really going to give her Crimson back? He says, maybe. He hasn’t decided whether he’s going to let it die or whether he’ll give it another chance at success. The magazine is costing him a lot of money right now, which they both know he can afford, but he really doesn’t like his name being associated with failure. She says, if he wants to attach Carly’s name to that failure instead, she’s good with that. (My motto: never go back to a job or a man. There’s a reason you left.)
Heather tells Laura, it doesn’t matter how good a doctor is, with surgery, there are always risks. She’s just been wondering what would happen if she didn’t wake up. Does Laura ever think about death? Laura says, of course (🍷) she does, and Heather says, and? Laura says, after the last few years she’s had, where she lost Luke and she lost Bobbie and then Spencer, those were people she never thought she’d have to live without. Heather says she knows how that feels. Laura probably hated Esme, but she misses her baby girl too. Laura says she knows, and she didn’t hate Esme. She was Ace’s mother and she treated Esme like part of the family. Heather thanks her, and Laura says she hated some of the things Esme did. She really hates the last thing she did. Heather says she gets it. She never used to care about dying. She just thought, hey, the world was fine before she was born; why wouldn’t a world without her just be fine too? But she can’t stop wondering now. If she’d just made better choices, maybe she could have had a better life. Laura knew her back in the day. Was she always this… wild? Laura says, she always took a lot of risks. She was never happy with the status quo, and she always went after whatever she wanted, whether it was men or money. She doesn’t think she would have gone about things the same way Heather did. Heather says, but was she this crazy? and Laura says, no. Heather starts to cry, and Laura says, no, she wasn’t. This is a more recent development. TJ comes in and tells Heather that they’re ready for her in the OR. They’ll give her anesthesia and then the surgery. Heather says, then what happens? and Laura asks what she means. Heather tells them, say she goes to the surgery and it’s all successful. Now she has no more pain. All that poison is gone from her body, so she’s less crazy and some people hate her less because now there’s an explanation for why she did all those horrible crimes. Then what? Her life gets better just in time for the DA to send her to that prison all the way across the country for the rest of her life? Laura says she doesn’t know how to respond to that. She doesn’t know if Heather has any options. Heather says, all right then. At least she’ll have her shows. She hears in California, everybody’s got cable TV in their cells. So she can watch Jeopardy. Come on. Let’s go. Laura tells her, good luck, and Heather thanks her, Laura taking her hand for a moment as she’s wheeled out. Heather yells, let’s get this show on the road! and Doc walks in. He says he thought it might be time for Heather’s surgery and asks Laura if she’s okay, but Laura says, no.
Laura tells Doc that she’s been so busy hating Heather and being afraid of Heather, she lost sight of how sick she really is. Or maybe was. What if she wakes up after the surgery and she’s different? Doc says, change is possible, but in the case of mental illness, even with cobalt poisoning, it’s unrealistic to think it might reverse itself overnight. Laura says, but in time she could heal, right? Get back to… Get close to the person she used to be. He tells her, look at it like this. The cobalt has been poisoning her mentally and physically for a long time, so Heather’s skewed way of thinking is now imprinted on her brain. It’s like a bad habit and they both know any habit is hard to break, even under the best circumstances. She says, which these are not, and he says, no. Then again, he’s not a neurologist and he’s never studied the effect of toxic metals on the brain, so anything’s possible. She says she just can’t help but have some empathy for Heather. She’s had her own issues with mental health. She had people around her who loved her and made sure she got the help she needed and that she was okay. What if Heather had had the same thing? Would they have noticed the cobalt poisoning earlier, and how much did that influence the crazy things that she did? What if Heather is not really responsible – she means in the most humane definition of that word – for these crimes she committed?
Drew says, there she is. There’s the Nina they all know and love. When presented with the option of getting something she loves or punishing someone she hates, she chooses revenge every time. She says, he’s the one who brought it up, and he says, there’s no scenario here where Carly is the fall guy if Crimson goes under. So she can just stop fantasizing about that. Nina says, fine. He has his pride. What would it look like if people knew he not only lost his heart, but lost his magazine because he was so blinded by love that he couldn’t see the truth about Carly Spencer? He says, there are two things he feels for her that he could never feel for Carly, and those are rage and contempt. (Way to get someone to do what you want.) She says she’s become familiar with him directing both of those things in her direction lately, and he says, but… She says, ooh, there’s a but here, and he says he’s got to admit, there’s a couple of things she’s pretty good at too. One of them is crimes of the heart, and the other is running Crimson. It seems to him that her being reinstated as the Editor in Chief of Crimson could be her ticket to people admiring her, giving her respect. Doesn’t she want that back?
Spinelli works on his laptop in the hallway and says, almost there.
Sasha says, Lucy wants to replace her as the Face of Deception, but Lucy says, no. Not replace, not ever. Just include another face. Think of it as addition, not subtraction. Cody says, this is ridiculous. If she’s suggesting changing Sasha’s position at Deception because she’s somehow too approachable and wholesome, this isn’t the kind of company he wants to be involved with. So they might as well change his face too. Sasha says, no, and Maxie fans herself and says, let’s just take some deep breaths here. Cody doesn’t mean that. He says he doesn’t? and Brook says, Lucy should have run this past her and Maxie first before she just blurted it out. Lucy says, okay, so maybe she blurted it out, but she knows a smart business decision when she makes one. She sorry, but she doesn’t really want to listen to a stable boy who posed for a few pictures. He’s not going to tell her that she’s wrong. If he wants to quit, go ahead. He’s really not a very good model, and they just kind of agreed to keep him around to keep Sasha happy. Maxie says, that is not true… but Cody thanks Lucy for finally being honest with him. Because you know what? He’s never hated a job more than he’s hated this one. Standing around with a fake smile on his face, petting an alpaca, pretending to stare adoringly at any woman, even one that he actually does adore, isn’t for him. He’d rather spend the rest of his life picking up after horses than working for her. She doesn’t have to fire him; he quits. Lucy says, that was so beautiful. That was really a great speech, but he can’t quit. Unfortunately, he does have a contract. He says, so sue him, and walks out, slamming the door.
Maxie says, let’s just give him some time to cool off, and then they’ll have a rational conversation and smooth this over. Sasha says she knows Cody pretty well at this point and can tell he’s made up his mind. He won’t come back. Lucy says, okay. If he wants to quit a great, easy job, then that’s his problem. She’s just being honest. This whole beauty business is tough, it’s brutal, and they all know that. She hopes Sasha isn’t as upset, because her perfect gorgeousness has never been in question. Sasha says she’s not offended. This is not her first rodeo. She’s heard a lot worse. Maxie says she’s glad Sasha’s not mad, and Sasha says she’s not. She promises. But hearing Cody talk about modeling and how he perceives it has made her think. He obviously finds it tiresome and pointless, and hearing his words makes her realize she feels the same way. Maybe it’s time she quits too. Maxie hyperventilates, and Brook tells Sasha not to make any rash decisions, then tells Lucy, look at what you’ve done.
On the phone, Elizabeth says, they can see all the meds have been accounted for, so can they please call off the bloodhounds?… Thank you. She turns around to see Tracy, who says she understands there was some discrepancy that the hospital board was to be made aware of, but Elizabeth says, everything is fine. That message should have never gotten to Tracy until they knew there was an actual problem. But she has to tell Tracy, their reliance on IT security has its drawbacks. The computers are so slow to update, it created an alert that suggested there was a theft in the pharmacy storage. If Tracy wants, she can see everything that’s been accounted for now. She apologizes that Tracy was brought down here for nothing. Tracy says, the timing was perfect. She was actually rescued from something that was even more tedious and more pointless. She thanks Elizabeth and leaves. Willow breathes a sigh of relief.
Doc tells Laura, given the number and gravity of Heather’s crimes, he can’t see her convictions being overturned. She says, he’s probably right, but still, to have a prosthetic implant that’s poisoning you has to carry some weight in court. He says, it seems reasonable to him, but they have to remember that reason and the law don’t always see eye to eye. Why is this weighing on her so much? He thought she’d be happy that Heather’s finally paying for what she did. She says she thought so too, but she’s known Heather most of her life and she just wasn’t this crazy before. She wasn’t. She thinks she also realizes she hasn’t been very sympathetic towards her and all the things she’s been through in her life. Life really hasn’t treated her well. He says, it hasn’t exactly been easy for Laura either, but she didn’t turn to a life of crime, and she says, there but for the grace of God, go I. Maybe it’s that the pain of losing Spencer is so fresh and watching her go through the pain of losing Esme. When she thinks about little Ace and how wonderful it would be for him to grow up without his other grandmother being in prison for a string of murders she committed… He says, she really has a heart of gold. It’s a lot more gold than his. Even with everything Heather has done, she still manages to find compassion for her. He loves her for that. She says she loves him too, and he says, first thing in the morning, he’ll do a search for any psyche diagnoses that have resulted in a conviction being overturned. He’ll let her know what he finds. She thanks him and hugs him. He says, anything for you, Mrs. Collins.
Nina asks why she’d sign up for a daily helping of Drew’s rage and contempt. That’s not exactly appealing. He says his supervision of her work at Crimson in the past was very minimal. He’ll agree to continue with that because he doesn’t have time to dedicate to a monthly scratch and sniff anyway. (Really? I was just thinking he needs a job.) She asks if Carly has even started to put together the new scratch and sniff issue. Or did she just look at a couple pictures, raid the beauty closet, and call it a job well done? He says, that’s very cute. He knows Carly was talking to advertisers and making assignments, so she and Carly can work together on this next issue. She says, that is not happening. Crimson is her baby, her vision. It’s a success because of her. She’s not going to put her name on something full of Carly’s trashy biker chick style. Not even for one month. He says, fine. The decision is made. Hell, Crimson’s sell by date has probably expired by now anyway. Easier to just let it die. He starts to walk out and she says, wait.
Tomorrow, Chase asks Brook if she’s sure it was the right thing to go back to Deception; Cody wonders if he made the right decision; Diane says she’s been expecting this call; and Michael says he’s found a way for Jason to disappear.
🔬 Art Imitates Life…
Unlike many of Heather’s delusions, metal poisoning is a real thing.
🪩 She’s the Host…
This sounds amazing. I wish it was happening closer to me.
🍹 Grief Made Her Do It…
I see she’s taking the LisaR route and blaming the passing of her mother for her poor decisions. I believe there was another car if you do. And haven’t any of these people heard of Uber?
