What I Watched Today

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

General Hospital

Chase and Brook visit Dante, who says he’s resting up for all the dancing he’s going to do at their wedding. Chase says he’s going to need a little more than dancing from Dante.

Tracy sees Gregory at the hospital, and says, this is a nice surprise. He says he’s here so often, he should pay rent. He could put in a little café table and have his own Bobbie’s. She says she thinks the seating would be too limited to be profitable. What’s on his docket today? He says, Dr. Cramer. He’s having a follow-up. Her? She says she just had a blood draw for her annual wellness visit with Dr. Randall. It’s a perk of being a board member, although she thinks they’re playing a little fast and loose with the term perk in this context. He says he remembers when his doctor visits were annual. Looking back, it was a perk. Elizabeth comes by and says, if he’s ready, they can go to the exam room. He says he’s as ready as he’ll ever be. Maybe he’ll see Tracy later. He leaves with Elizabeth.

Kristina goes to Nina’s office at Crimson, and Nina says she’s so glad Kristina decided to stop by. Kristina says she wants to clear the air. She’s really not okay with what Nina did to Carly and Drew – she closes the door – but she is willing to accept Nina made an impulsive decision that spiraled out way beyond what she ever intended. Nina says, yes, that’s it exactly, and Kristina says, one bad decision doesn’t negate all the good Nina’s done, and she has done a lot of good, especially for Kristina’s dad. She knows how happy he was when he was with Nina, and even if he never admits it, she knows he misses Nina.

Cody pushes around hay in a stall, when Sasha comes in wearing super cute overalls that would look incredibly stupid on me, and says, put me in, coach. He asks if she’s sure, and she says, yes. She got her check from Deception and now she can finally do something besides worry about how she looks. He says, she still looks too good for this place, but she says, nothing and no one is too good for this place, and that’s a fact. He says, Comet isn’t here. She can save her flattery. He asks if her overalls are new, and she says, they may or may not be. As he knows, she’s looking for her new purpose in life. He asks if she thinks she’s going to find it here in one of these stalls. Believe it or not, this isn’t exactly the resumé builder she might think it is. She says, honestly, she doesn’t know what she’s looking for or where she’s going to find it. But she figured if she’s someplace comfortable that makes her happy, inspiration might find her sooner. So if it’s okay with him… He asks if she’s sure, and she says, come on. Put her to work. What’s the worst that can happen?

Elizabeth takes Gregory’s temperature and says, everything looks good. How is he feeling? He says he’s like to be honest with her, if he may, and she says she hopes he’s always honest with her. He says, unless he’s mistaken, this was a standard follow-up, and yet somehow, it merits the attention of the head nurse of a very busy hospital. She says she assists doctors and nurses all the time, but he says, she has more important things to do and they both know it. She says, he is important, and he thanks her. He says, while he’s honored to have her look in on him, he was hoping to keep some aspects of his life private, and she says she’s sorry if she made him feel his privacy hasn’t been respected. He says, she’s always very respectful, but as his disease progresses, he would like to keep his patient life completely separate from the other parts of his life. She says she understands, and he says, she’s very important to her son and to him, so he realizes that may be easier said than done. She says, not at all. It’s not a problem. He says he means no offense. He hopes she knows that. She says, none taken, and she hopes he knows that she never meant to presume. He says he does, and she says, if he’s ready, she’ll let Dr. Cramer know that he’s here. She thanks him for telling her, he thanks her, and she leaves.

Chase tells Dante that he and Brook were planning on downsizing the wedding to a civil ceremony at city hall and a family only reception at the Quartermaines. Brook says, they didn’t see the point in throwing a big bash without him there, and Chase says, they want him to be a part of it. Finn is going to be his best man, but he’d be honored if Dante would be his groomsman. Dante says, the honor would be his, and Brook says, that would be so wonderful, except she doesn’t want to put any pressure on him. Being a groomsman involves a lot of standing and walking and dancing and drinking. Does he think he’ll be ready for all that? Dante says, they’re getting married in like, a month. He’d better be ready. Brook says she hopes she is too. She has so much to do. Chase says, whoa, and she says, no. He’s been wonderful, but let’s face it, it’s crunch time. They still have a million details to lock down, and decisions to be made, and a seating chart that has to be finalized. Dante says he doesn’t care where he sits, but when the dancing starts, he wants to be dance with Brook after Chase, not some rando cousin. First Chase, then him. Chase says he booked that spot for his dad on Brook’s dance card, and Dante says, of course (🍷). He’s a gentleman. How’s his dad doing? Chase says, he’s not looking too great at the moment. He’s also not too good at telling them what his doctors have to say. Brook says, maybe he just wants a tiny bit of privacy, and Chase says, if he had it his way, he wouldn’t have told them he was sick at all. Brook says, that is because he’s a self-sufficient adult who’s losing control of his body and who he chooses to share or keep things private from is one of the few ways he still has agency. Chase says, but they’re his family. They love him and just want to help. Brook says, he just wants to be Chase’s dad. Not his dad who needs his help. Everybody deserves a little privacy sometimes, even from their family who loves them the most. Sam comes in and says, this is a nice surprise. She kisses Dante and gets next to him in the bed. He says, she just kissed a groomsman. So now they have to get him in rehab so he’s ready to go. She says, between her and the kids, they’ll have him fixed, and Brook says, good luck. He’s not known for his patience. Sam says she’s way ahead of them there, and Chase says, they’re heading out, so if Dante needs anything… Dante tells him to go protect and serve and stuff, and Chase says he’s on it. They leave, and Sam says she was going to take Dante on his morning walk, but he says he already walked with Chase. For a 90-year-old man, he didn’t do too bad. She looks at her phone, and he asks, what’s going on? A new case? She says, sort of. She asked Danny’s best friend at school to text her if he ditched any classes. So far, so good. Dante says, maybe she’s giving him a bit of a hard time, but she says, Danny’s made some bad decisions lately. She doesn’t know if she can trust him. She certainly can’t trust his father.

Nina says, Kristina thinks Sonny misses her? and Kristina says she does. That’s why Ava and Avery are still at his place. It fills up the quiet and helps him forget what he lost. She doesn’t know if Nina and her dad will ever work things out, but she hopes that they do. That’s all she came here to say. Nina thanks her and says, it means so much to her. Kristina says she’s always liked Nina and wants the best for her, whatever that might be. Nina says she wants the best for Kristina too, whatever is going on in her life. She looks at Kristina’s bump, and Kristina says she’s pregnant with Molly and TJ’s baby. She’s their surrogate. Nina says, that’s wonderful. What an amazing, generous thing she’s doing. Kristina says, it’s amazing, but it’s also difficult. The morning sickness has been hard, but the hardest part has been not being able to tell everyone. For the longest time she’s wanted to shout it from the rooftops and tell strangers on the street, I’m having a baby! She means she’s having a niece or nephew baby. Nina says, it’s probably the hormones talking, when there’s a knock at the door. Nina says, it’s her 10 o’clock, and Kristina says she’ll leave Nina to it. It was great to see her. Nina says, it was very, very nice (WOTD) to see her too, and thanks her for reaching out. Kristina says, of course (🍷), and opens the door. Blaze is there with Maxie, who says hi to Kristina. Maxie says she’s sure Nina recognizes her, but she wanted to introduce her to the new Face of Deception. She introduces them, and Nina says, of course (🍷) she recognizes Blaze. She’s a big fan, and congratulations. Blaze, who has barely looked at Kristina, thanks Nina and says, it’s nice to meet her too. Nina says she remembers Blaze from Sonny’s compound in Puerto Rico when they got married, and Blaze says, belated congratulations to her. Nina thanks her and says, so Blaze remembers Kristina, and Blaze says she absolutely remembers Kristina. Nina says, a big change for Deception, and Maxie says, it’s very new and Nina is among the very first to find out. Nina says she would hope so, since this is Crimson after all. Kristina says she’s going to head over to GH to visit her brother, so she’ll let them get down to business. She tells Blaze, wow. The Face of Deception. She can really see it. (Ouch!) Congrats. She leaves and Blaze looks unhappy.

While helping Cody, Sasha says she grew up around horses. She used to love brushing them and feeding them. She would just sit on the fence and watch them do horse things. Cody says, horse things. She really is sounding like a ranch hand. She says, one day her neighbor put a saddle on a horse and let her mount. She did and she fell off like, a dozen times, but she never cried, and she kept getting back up. So eventually, they a saddle just for her. The rest is history. He says, and maybe her future if her love of horses and stables continues. She says she loves being here… at the stables. What about him? What does he look forward to in his post-Deception future? He says he’s doing it right now.

In the breakroom, Elizabeth tells Finn that his dad had an appointment with Dr. Cramer and she told his assistant that she’d do Gregory’s pre-appointment check-in. He asks if everything’s okay, and she says, everything is fine, but he did tell her – in the kindest, sweetest way possible – that she’s overstepping. Which means… He says, that they’re all overstepping, and she says, mm-hmm. Finn says, that’s his dad and he loves him. They’re all just trying to support him. She says, it’s possible their support makes him feel like they’ve already decided, without consulting him, that the time has come for them to take over, but it hasn’t. Because he can still make his own decisions and do things for himself and really, they have to let him. Finn says he always feels like he doesn’t do enough for him, and she says, because he always feels like he should be doing more for everyone else all the time. It’s who he is. He says he doesn’t know. He reached out to this buddy of his who’s a neurologist to see if he had any advice for them. She says, and? and he says, they didn’t get much of a chance to talk. They worked Doctors Without Borders together in the Ukraine, literally putting people back together in a war zone. It made him kind of miss those days. It made him feel useless with what he’s doing here. She says, it must be contagious, and he asks what she’s talking about. She says, that’s how she feels at home right now, useless with Jake. Everything she does or says is wrong and she feels like she’s making everything worse. He says, she’s being hard on herself. She’s an amazing mom. She says she didn’t feel that way when Jason came by yesterday. It was a complete trainwreck.

Gregory tells Dr. Carter, fair to say things aren’t improving, and the doctor says he’s worried about Gregory’s shortness of breath. It’s gotten a little worse. Gregory says, but it’s manageable if he doesn’t push it, which he can accommodate, with one exception. Dr. Carter says, which is? and Gregory says he needs to know if he can still preside over his son’s wedding. The doctor says he’s not a psychic, and Gregory says he’ll settle for an educated guess. Can he make it through the month speaking and walking under his own steam? Dr. Carter says, this is no more than his educated guess, okay? But he thinks a month is a safe bet. Gregory says, and when his son comes by asking for an update… The doctor says he won’t discuss a patient with anyone, not even another doctor, without he patient’s express permission. Gregory says, that’s what he was hoping to hear, and thanks him.

Nina says, it was a pleasure meeting Blaze, they shake hands, and Blaze leaves. Maxie says, that person? That’s not an act. That’s who she actually is. Nina says she does need to know. What happened to Sasha?

Sam tells Dante that she doesn’t think she’s ever felt so betrayed in his life. She thought – they all thought – Jason was dead, and he shows up out of nowhere, and tells their son to keep a secret from him. With no explanation, no idea where he’s been the past two years. She doesn’t know if Jason is different or if she’s actually seeing him clearly for the first time. Kristina says, knock-knock. Is it a good time for visitors? Sam says, yeah, and Kristina hugs Dante. She says, it’s about time he woke up. Not that he did that on purpose or anything, but maybe try to be a little more careful next time? Dante says he’s all about the caution, but she’s done some growing. Kristina says, isn’t it crazy? She’s been waiting and waiting and waiting to show, and it finally happened. Stella walks in and apologizes for the interruption, but how would Dante feel about going home today?

Tracy asks how Gregory’s appointment went, and he says, the doctor thinks with some rest and some medications and continued use of his CPAP machine for breath support, he should be in good shape for Chase’s wedding. She says, he must be so relieved, and he says he is. She says she’s guessing Alexis will be relieved as well, and he asks, why is that? She says, Alexis is a very accomplished, bright woman… He says, spare him the preamble, and she says, but she’s not particularly close to Chase or Brook, and were it not for him, she wouldn’t make the guest list.

Nina tells Maxie, that’s more or less what Sasha said to her. As long as it’s Sasha’s decision, she’s behind her 100%. Maxie says, so they circled back to Blaze and the timing is perfect. Blaze expands their youth market and she’s got a flawless complexion which they’d really like to pair with their new face cream. If they do it right, it could be huge. Nina says, definitely. She’s on board 100% for all of it. Isn’t it really nice what Kristina is doing, acting as a surrogate for her sister and TJ? Does she think it would be too much if Nina sent Sonny just a casual note, congratulating him? Because that baby is going to be his great niece or nephew. (I get confused for a moment, thinking it’s his grandchild, because biologically, it kinda is.) Maxie says, that depends. Does she care if Sonny casually throws that note in the trash? Nina says, Maxie… and Maxie tells Nina that she said it herself. Her marriage is over. Nina says, not legally, and Maxie says, not yet. Nina says, Kristina was just in here, so she thinks it’s only natural if she offers good wishes, and Maxie says, to Molly and TJ, and then to Kristina. Nina says, and Maxie thinks it looks desperate if she also includes Sonny.

Tracy tells Gregory that she has time before her appointment with Dr. Randolph. She was going to get a cup of coffee while they run her bloodwork. Would he care to join her? He says, more than he could express. But his mission, which he had to accept, is just getting started. He has to have his blood drawn and an EKG, and then a nerve conduction study. She says, that’s a full day, and he says, there was a time ALS was just his diagnosis. Now it’s his fulltime job. She says, he’s much more than his diagnosis. He’s much more than a patient. He says, it’s hard to remember that on a day like today, and she says, let her remind him. He is terrifically charming… and a wonderful conversationalist, and he’s intellectually challenging, and… he’s not bad to look at. He laughs and says, you, vixen, you (then I laugh), and walks down the hall.

Finn says, Jake has more reason than most to be shaken up by Jason’s appearance, and Elizabeth says, shaken? That’s a mild way to describe it. His anger with Jason is all over the place right now. Finn supposes that’s understandable. How is it otherwise seeing Jason again? She says, it’s strange. He’s just so vague about everything. Where he’s been, what he’s been doing, why he never reached out to anyone. He’s never been a big talker, but even for him, it was maddening. He says he knows a little bit about that. Some of his past relationships, the things he just accepted… He wonders how that was ever enough for him. He thinks about her and what they have and it’s deeper. She says she feels the same way. She can’t believe she settled for someone so limited in what they could or would share of themselves with her. She’s glad she got it right this time. He says, him too, when Chase pops in with Brook and asks if they’re allowed in here. Finn says, they’ll bend the rules, and Elizabeth asks if everything is okay. Brook says, perfectly fine. Except… Chase says, they need Finn’s help to save their wedding.

Kristina asks Dante to try and spend some time with their dad if he can. Their dad’s been worried about him. They’ve all been really worried about him, but dad has been blaming himself. Dante says he will. Sonny can come visit him and he can get his exercise walking down the hall to see Sonny. She asks what he thinks, and he says, about what? She says, Ava’s still living there. With Avery of course (🍷), but the whole thing just seems a little weird. He agrees it’s weird, but he doesn’t think Sonny’s going to care one way or the other what he thinks about Ava living there. But he’ll keep an eye on it. She says, maybe just in his spare time. The most important thing is, she wants him to focus on a full recovery. He says he’s way ahead of her there, when Sam comes in. Kristina tells Dante that she loves him, and he says he loves her too. She tells Sam to let her know if they need anything, and Sam says, will do. Kristina leaves, and Sam says, there’s general rejoicing about Dante going home from the hospital today. He says, as there should be, and she says, but she did tell Olivia, no visitors until tomorrow. She knows he’s going to be exhausted tonight. He says he’s just going to be happy he’s home, and she asks if everything is all right with Kristina. He says yeah. Why does she ask? She says, it’s just something she picked up on when Kristina was in here. If it’s private, he doesn’t have to say anything to her. She shouldn’t even be asking. He says, no. She’s just worried about their dad, and more importantly, the fact that Ava’s living with him. She thinks it’s weird. So does he.

Nina says, Maxie thinks sending Sonny a casual note, and nothing more, comes across as her looking desperate? Really? Maxie says, yes, really. Because she is desperate. Nina says she’s not desperate. She just misses Sonny, that’s all. She doesn’t want her marriage to be over. Maxie tells her that she’s saying all the right words, but it’s her tone that gives her away. She wants Sonny back and she’s willing to do anything. Nina says she has two things that give her hope that she can get him back. The first thing is, she hasn’t signed the divorce papers yet. Maxie sighs, and Nina says, the second thing is, she has a secret weapon.

Sasha and Cody take a break, and Sasha says she must admit, Cody’s post-Deception life has very good coffee. He says he has a connection that can get him Corinthos Coffee whenever he wants, and she says, what more can he ask? He says, not much. He’s not one of those guys that’s sweaty with want. He likes his job. He gets paid enough to cover basic expenses, he’s got his own room and board, and Monica enrolled him in GH’s HMO, in case one of these buckos kicks him or puts a nail in his hand instead of a horseshoe. She asks if that’s ever happened, and he says, not here. But he hasn’t – believe it or not – always been the consummate horse whisperer she sees before her. Don’t tell James though. James will never let him live it down. She says, he is Maxie’s son, and Cody agrees and says, he’s a fun little dude. Leo too. Sometimes they have more kids here than horses. He loves it. It’s kind of like being part of a family. She says, he does actually have a family he could be part of if he’d just come clean with Mac, and he says, that might be a little bit more than he can handle. Horses are enough… What? She says, nothing, but he says, come on. Tell him the truth. Did he make himself sound like too much of a loner?

Tracy finds Stella reading a magazine in the Bistro. Looking over Stella’s shoulder, Tracy says she doesn’t think women should color their hair. Stella says, there’s a shock. She doesn’t think she could carry the green off anyway. Tracy says she doesn’t think the model does either. She happens to have some time to kill before the appointment Stella relentlessly insisted she make with Dr. Randolph. May she join Stella? Stella says, yes, she may, and she’s not apologizing for insisting. She needs to get back soon too. She just needed a cup that wasn’t from the hospital cafeteria. Tracy says she’d rather be audited, and Stella says she heard Deception’s new Face person was a woman of color. Tracy says, yes, Blaze, and Stella says, you sure wouldn’t know from anything in here. Tracy says, it’s too soon. She just signed on. By the way, in those magazines, women of any color make her feel like she’s from another planet. Oh, to be young. Stella laughs and says, amen, sister. Amen.

Tracy says, while she’s sitting here waiting for her blood to be centrifuged, may she ask Stella a question? Stella says, yes, she may, and Tracy asks why she’s still working. Doesn’t she want to retire? Stella says, and do what? Knit? If she was in Baltimore, she’d have a whole group of friends, mostly widows that she could hang out with, but if she didn’t have anything better to do with her life than play matchstick poker on Thursday nights with the family, she’d lose her mind. Tracy asks why she doesn’t play for money, and Stella says, fear… theirs. They laugh, and Stella says, but Tracy is from here. She knows everybody. Tracy says she does. She knows hundreds of people. But social acquaintances are just that. They’re cordial, superficial… Not that it bothered her mother. Her mother was gracious to everybody. She had more friends than she knew what to do with. Stella says she gathers Tracy takes after her father, and Tracy says she does. And she was proud of it. She’s still proud of it, but truthfully, it has its disadvantages. She doesn’t have a lot of deep, meaningful relationships with people, and one of the very few, she… he… He’s otherwise occupied.

On the phone, Finn says, Simon is absolutely right… He will… Thank you. He tells Chase and Brook that dad’s doctor won’t tell him anything about how he’s doing. Patient confidentiality and all that. He didn’t have to ask before because he used to go to all of Gregory’s appointments with him. Then Gregory asked him to stop. Chase says, so if they want to find something out… Finn says, dad’s going to have to tell them himself, if and when he chooses to, and Brook says, until his father decides to talk, can Finn please help them pull their wedding back from the brink? Elizabeth asks, what happened? She thought they had everything under control. Chase says, it seemed like dad was getting worse, then Dante was in the ICU. So instead of just canceling it altogether, they just thought they’d downsize. Brook says, significantly, and Elizabeth asks, how significant? Brook says, a courthouse wedding, two witnesses, Chase in a suit and tie, and her in something understated. No gown, no veil… Elizabeth says, they can relax because Dante’s being discharged, and Chase says, and now dad’s holding his own. Brook says, and now they want everything to go back to the way they originally planned it. Finn says, absolutely. They’re here for them, whatever they need. Elizabeth says, let’s get you guys married in the style you deserve, and Chase tells Brook, see? Everything’s going to work out.

Nina tells Maxie that Ava and Avery are still at Sonny’s because of security reasons, and Ava can act as her advocate. Maxie looks like she has a headache and says, if Nina was depending on Ava for anything, she’s going to be disappointed. Nina says she disagrees, and Maxie says, let’s name one selfless or generous thing that Ava has ever done. Not a nice gesture. She’s talking about something real where Ava put someone else ahead of herself. Nina says, Ava has nothing at stake here. She trusts Ava to act in her best interests. Maxie says she doesn’t think Nina knows what her best interests really are. Any man she has to plot to get back isn’t a man she’s going to keep. And to be honest, she never liked Nina as Sonny’s wife anyway. Nina asks, since when? and Maxie says, since she started being Sonny’s wife. It took over Nina’s life, and frankly, Maxie never thought she’d become one of those women. The Nina she knows was erased by Mrs. Corinthos, and she misses her Nina.

Sasha says she doesn’t think Cody is a loner. She’s spent enough time with him to know better. He says, that’s a relief, and she tells him that she would say there’s something a little aloof. He asks if that’s because he doesn’t give her long, lustful looks and try to manhandle her, and she says, then he’d be trading aloof for creepy. He says, she knows what he means. She made it very clear she’s not ready for anything. She says she knows, and she likes how comfortable and easy it is between them. He says, him too. That’s why he’s kept his very significant interest at bay. But he has to be honest. Sometimes he thinks two or three days of manhandling could be fun too.

Tracy asks Stella if it isn’t hard to work with people who are suffering. How does she keep from feeling sorry for them? Stella says, sometimes she can’t. But she doesn’t let those feelings keep her from treating that person as a person. They’re much more than the terrible thing that’s happening to them. Tracy thanks her and says she appreciates that. She has a friend that’s going to appreciate it as well. Nothing annoys him more than being handled. As a matter of fact, it annoys her as well. Stella says she never would have guessed. If Tracy is up for some matchstick poker, she’d be happy to leave Tracy humbled. Tracy asks how she feels about backgammon, and Stella says, love it. Be happy to beat you at that too. Tracy says, she’s on, and Stella says, all right, sister, and they clink coffee cups.

Sam’s phone chimes and Dante asks if it’s his mother asking what she should bring for dinner. Sorry. Or is that Danny? Sam says, it’s actually her mother seeing if they need anything when he gets home. And yes, she does admit she was checking to see if there’s an update on Danny and there isn’t one. He says, that’s good news, right? and she says, for today. But what about tomorrow or next week? They know Danny, and when he decides to do something, he does it. She knows he’s going to try and see Jason again. Dante says, maybe there’s a compromise in there somewhere, but she says she doesn’t think so. Danny being anywhere near Jason is dangerous. Dante is actual, living proof of that. He tells her not to blame Jason, but she says she does blame Jason for putting Danny in danger. And she will make sure it never happens again.

Gregory walks into the breakroom, and says, excuse him, but the desk nurse said he could find Finn in here. Finn asks what he can do for him, and Gregory asks if he called Dr. Cramer about his condition. Finn says, yeah. He just wanted to check in with him, and Gregory says, from now on, he’d appreciate it if Finn would check in with him. Finn says, understood. How did his appointment go? Gregory says, Dr. Cramer told him that he might have had a little slump, but he’s much better now. Finn says, that’s good news, and Elizabeth says, Chase and Brook just left. Does Gregory want her to call them? Maybe they can give him a ride home. Gregory says he can get his own ride, and tells Finn, don’t end run him again. He leaves, and Finn says, Elizabeth is right. He needs to step back. This is going to be hard. She hugs him.

Brook says she knows she and Chase have a thousand details to finalize, but the venues are booked, the flowers have been picked, the menus are approved. Her dress is still a work in progress. Chase says, what about the honeymoon? and she says, excuse me? He says, you, me, alone together somewhere romantic? She says, ha-ha, funny. They’re going to Palm Beach. Unless… Did he cancel the reservation? That would be totally fine, and they can probably just rebook it… He says, they still have their reservation, and she says, don’t scare her like that. He says he’s just checking in. Is she sure she wants to go to Palm Beach? She says, absolutely. They already went over the places that are in their price range. He says, his price range. Her family is paying for this big wedding; he wants to cover the honeymoon. She says, and he is, and it’s going to be amazing. She’s never been to Palm Beach, but everybody tells her it’s gorgeous. And the hotel they picked looks exquisite. He asks if she has any other superlatives that she wants to throw in there, and she says, just one. They are going to Palm Beach as Mrs. and Mr. Harrison Chase, and that will be perfect. She kisses him and leaves, and he says he can do better than perfect.

Tomorrow, Josslyn says, Dex can’t possibly think this is a good idea; Laura tells Terry that they need only one Chief of Staff to sign off; Heather asks Doc, what need is there to torture herself with things that are impossible; and Blaze asks Kristina if that’s going to be a problem for them.

🧼 All the Soap That’s Fit To Print…

So glad they said something. I thought maybe I’d had it wrong all this time. Although Jack and John are sometimes interchangeable. I have no clue why and always thought it was weird.

I thought it was probably regarding the time Carly subbed for Sonny too.

There are worse jobs.

I wasn’t worried.

These two are super cute.

Reeling in the years.

In their Easter bonnets, or not.

⚰️ About Those Ones…

The consensus is, maybe or maybe not on Season 2.

I love Andrew Lincoln saying [it] would’ve been a bit rude to kill off Michonne and Rick at the end. So very British.

🍸 VanderTease…
