What I Watched Today

(rambling, random thoughts, recaps, and the whole GH enchilada on Fridays)

General Hospital

Kristina says she created this situation, but Alexis says, Kristina’s father created this situation by letting things spiral with Cates. Her father got them into this and he’s the one who has to get them out.

Dante says, there’s something Sonny should know, but Anna says, this is not the time. Dante says he doesn’t think it can wait, when Martin comes in and says he’d like to know why he’s just getting this now. Does Anna want to explain why he didn’t get the new evidence in Alexis’s case?  

Molly drops some folders in the courthouse hallway, and Dex helps her pick them up. She says, he was great in there. It was his first time being a police witness, but he seemed like a pro. He says he’s glad over, and she says, one less thing to worry about. He says, she can add the new evidence in Alexis’s case, and she says, what new evidence?

In a room at the station, Elizabeth says she should have known he was the reason she’s here. What did he get her into this time? We see she’s talking to Ric.

Brad looks on his laptop and says, it’s no mistake. The test results were accessed by Dr. Robinson the day before Ric got them. Terry comes in and says she was wondering if found anything new in Heather’s test results.

Portia goes to Curtis’s office, and he says, this is a nice surprise… What’s wrong? She says she didn’t listen when he told her to leave Heather’s case alone.

Brad tells Terry that he found something interesting, but he wants to doublecheck before he hands it over. She says she’s glad he’s being so thorough. All eyes are on him. A lot of people have questioned her decision to hire him back and Portia is especially unhappy. He needs to be the perfect employee and get on everyone’s good side. He says he promises she won’t regret hiring him. He’ll work extra hard and has no doubt he can get Portia to come around. Terry leaves, and Brad laughs as he prints out the document.

Portia says she changed Heather’s test results, and Curtis asks, how? She says she snuck into the lab and looked at the numbers. The cobalt had decreased significantly, so she altered the results. She doesn’t know what she was thinking. She could only think that she had to do this for Trina. Curtis says, he wants to protect Trina too, but to do it like this? She says she wants to make sure Heather isn’t released. She’s a murderer who has caused them pain along with all the other people she terrorized and murdered. He says he doesn’t disagree, and she says, they’d never have a moment’s peace with Heather wandering around Port Charles plotting revenge for Esme’s death. He says, what’s done is done. What’s important is that nobody else knows. She says, the court ordered the hospital to turn over the tests. It’s just a matter of time before they find out what she’s done and her medical career might as well be over. (I am seriously disappointed in Curtis.)

Molly says she hasn’t heard anything about new evidence, and Dex says he assumed she’d been notified. She says she hasn’t. Spill. He says he probably shouldn’t say. He doesn’t want to jeopardize the case or his job. She says she understands. She’s sure she’ll find out soon enough. It’s nice to know there’s some good news coming their way for once. Short of Sonny confessing, she can’t imagine what it might be.

Ric says he’s as in the dark as Elizabeth is, and she says she was told it was urgent. He says he thinks it’s about Alexis, and Elizabeth wonders why the police want to talk to them again. He says, it will be fine. Just tell the truth. Chase comes in and sets the gun on the table. He asks them to take a look at the gun. Does it look like the one Alexis had in Blackstone Canyon? Elizabeth says, it looks like the gun Alexis was holding, but Ric says he doesn’t know. It was dark in the canyon. He can’t be sure. Chase asks him to take another look, and Ric says, of course (🍷).

Anna asks Sonny to go into the interrogation room and she’ll talk to Martin in private, but Martin says he’s not going anywhere when she’s sitting on evidence. Anna says, they’re still investigating, but she’s sure Reynolds wants to speak to Sonny, but Sonny says, his lawyer isn’t here yet and he’d like to hear the evidence. Martin asks if Anna wants to tell them or should he, and Anna says, the evidence in question is a gun deposited here by an unidentified subject. The time is suspect, and they can’t consider it a serious lead. Martin asks what caliber it is and who it’s registered to, and she says, it’s registered to Sonny Corinthos and is similar in appearance to the one Alexis was seen disposing of. Chase is questioning the witnesses to see if they think it’s similar to what they saw. Martin says, what about a ballistics test? and Anna says, they’re confident it’s not the gun that killed Agent Cates.

In the interrogation room, Anna says, this is by no means conclusive. They’re still investigating. Diane walks in and says, the gang’s all here. She didn’t know she was walking into a party here. Sonny says, they got some good news. Anna thinks they found the missing gun that will exonerate Alexis. Anna suggests they not get ahead of themselves, and Reynolds says, let’s get started. Sonny says he wants to make sure Alexis is not getting unfair treatment because him, and Martin says, the FBI’s treatment is beside the point. He assumes they’ll be dropping the charges. Reynolds says, they have plenty more evidence, but Martin says, they have nothing, and he knows it. He’s filing a motion for a hearing today and he’s sure the judge will grant it. He leaves.

Portia says, if they find out the tests were tampered with on the same day she was in the lab, where she rarely goes, they’ll have reason to investigate her. Curtis says, they have no reason to suspect the tests were tampered with. It could be a faulty test or a lab mistake. They’re the only two who know about it, and if they play it cool and they’re lucky, it will stay that way. She says, one other person knows, and he asks, who? She says, Ava, and he says, Ava is a loose cannon. Portia insists Ava won’t tell anyone because she loves Trina. She would not hurt Trina in that way. He says, it’s their only saving grace, and she says she’s happy he knows. The burden has been killing her. He says, they’re in this together. He’s always got her back. She says she loves him for that, and he says, she’s not going to lose her job or her license. She says, if she does, she does. Shell do anything to protect Trina. He says, that’s because she’s a great mom. Don’t worry. It will never come out. They hug, she thanks him, and she leaves.

Elizabeth says, it looks like the gun Alexis was holding, and it’s their civic duty to tell the truth, and Rick says, Elizabeth is right. It looks exactly like the gun. Chase says, good, and thanks them for their time. Their identification is going to help Alexis. He leaves, and Elizabeth asks Ric, what’s wrong with you? Ric says, he told the truth, but she says, not because he wanted to. His phone rings, and Elizabeth leaves. Curtis asks if Ric can come over to Aurora. He needs to see Ric as soon as possible. There’s an urgent family matter he needs to discuss.

Dex asks if Molly is doing better than the other night at the Brown Dog, when Molly’s phone dings. She says, oh my God. She can’t believe it. It’s about the good news he was talking about.

Alexis says, Kristina’s dad is not a victim. His recklessness was bound to catch up with him at some point, and today is that day. Kristina says, because of her, and Alexis says, stop blaming herself. The guard says they’ve got to go. Alexis has a hearing, and they need to get to Port Charles. Kristina says, he confessed, and Alexis says, remember what she said. Kristina is not responsible. She leaves with the guard.

At the courthouse, Michael asks how Kristina is doing, and she says she’s worried. The guard told Alexis that she has a hearing. She thinks their dad confessed to Cates’s murder to get her mom off the hook. They have to make sure they’re both in the clear. Michael suggests she sit quiet and let Sonny handle it. He knows what he’s doing. Kristina says she’s scared, when Sam joins them. She says, Molly texted her, but she didn’t say what was going on. Kristina says, they don’t know, and Sam says, they should go in. They go into the courtroom, and Kristina looks at Molly.  

Dante says, now that he and Sonny are alone, did he drop the gun off? Sonny says, it wasn’t him. He doesn’t know who it was, but he’s glad he found out before he confessed. Dante laughs and Sonny leaves.  

Michael sees Sonny and tells Kristina, he must not have confessed. Kristina wonders what this is about, when Alexis is brought in.

Elizabeth slams her locker shut, when Terry walks in and asks if everything is okay. It’s not like her to slam things around. Elizabeth says she’s so mad at something Ric did, and Terry asks if she wants to talk. Elizabeth says, no… Every time Ric has the opportunity to do the right thing, he does the opposite. She tells herself that he’s not going to disappoint her this time, and he always does. Terry says she has the feeling that’s not why Elizabeth is upset. If she had to venture a guess, she’d say this is more about Lucky.

Brad asks if he can speak with Portia, but she says, it’s not a good time. What does he want to talk about? He says he’s been gathering Heather’s test results and found something he thinks he should run by her. Is she sure she doesn’t have a minute?

Curtis says he wants to talk to Ric, father to father, and Ric says, it’s about Heather’s case. Curtis says, Heather’s case being reopened has hung over his family’s head and he knows Trina is terrified. He doesn’t like seeing his daughter terrified. Ric says he can understand where Curtis is coming from. He loves Molly more than anything and thinks she’s the best thing he’s ever done, but he’s also a lawyer. The great thing about law is that it protects people. Unfortunately, sometimes it protects people who do bad things. He thinks Heather is a completely different person now. Curtis says he went to Pentenville and met with her. He has to admit she’s changed, but that doesn’t mean she should be let out. Ric says he doesn’t think Curtis has anything to worry about with Heather, but Curtis says he thinks Ric is wrong. They’re at an impasse, and Ric needs to be real with the truth. What comes next? He deserves to know.

Anna says, Dante got interrupted before he could say what he wanted to. What was he going to say? Dante says, it was nothing, but Anna says, she got the feeling Dante was going to tell Sonny about the gun.

Alexis says she takes it Sonny didn’t confess, and Martin says, no one confessed. There’s new evidence. She asks, what kind of evidence? when the bailiff says, all rise, and Judge Otis comes in and says, court is now in session.

Martin says, the defense has new evidence that can impact their case. They thought the alleged murder weapon was gone forever until now. It’s been located and he has sworn affidavits obtained from the PCPD from the witnesses who saw Alexis dispose of the same gun. A sample of river water in the gun shows it to be the same as in the Blackstone River, and the serial number says it’s registered to Sonny Corinthos. A ballistics test has concluded the gun is not the weapon used to kill Agent John Cates. He’s submitted into evidence the photos of the affidavits. In light of these developments, he’s asking that all charges be dismissed immediately. Reynolds says, the prosecution has more than enough evidence to move to a trial and conviction.

Dante says he’s not saying that it didn’t cross his mind to lie, but he respects Anna too much. She knows how it is. Sonny’s son and a cop. Anna says, it’s hard to love someone with a moral compass not as defined as your own, but Dante has always remained neutral. What’s the difference now? He says, life is different. Lulu’s not doing well. He and Rocco sit by her bedside and pray for a miracle. He used to think how amazing it would be to tell Rocco the good news that Lulu is better and coming back. Now he thinks of how he’ll give Rocco the bad news that she didn’t make it, and in the same breath, tell him that he’ll never see his grandfather again, since he’ll be away for a long time. She says she’s sorry Lucky wasn’t a match. She thought he was going to be Lulu’s miracle. Dante says, they all did.  

Elizabeth says, everything about Lucky has been weighing on her, and Terry says, he’s been gone a long time. She’s got big feelings back. Elizabeth says, it has more to do with Lulu than anything. Lucky thought being Lulu’s donor would wash away his sins, but she’s worried now that he can’t be a hero, he thinks he’s lost his last shot at redemption. What scares her the most is that he’ll leave again.

Ric says, Curtis seems like a stand-up guy who loves his family, so he’s going to tell him the truth, as much as lawyer/client confidentiality allows. He had several individual labs test Heather’s cobalt levels. The results are consistent that there was a significant decrease, except those from GH. It’s concrete evidence that proves her behavior was due or heavily influenced by metallosis. He knows it’s not something Curtis wants to hear, but Heather is going to get her day in court.  

Portia brings Brad to her office and asks what she can do for him. Brad says he was pulling Heather’s test results like he was told to do and noticed something strange. Portia says she heard they discovered a faulty result, and Brad says he thought it was just a mistake at first, but the disparity in the numbers didn’t make sense. So he opened the accessibility and saw the weirdest thing. The original recording showed Heather’s cobalt levels at 1.8 before they were radically altered to 300. She says, it sounds like something for Heather’s legal team to deal with and nothing for them to worry about, and he says, then he noticed the same day, the tests were accessed by her. Should he worry about that?

Anna says she sees the toll this is taking on Dante. He’s doing the right thing by taking a leave of absence to be with his son and focus on Rocco. Dante says, Rocco’s a good kid. He wants to be able to tell him something good. Anna says, there were too many years she wasn’t here in Port Charles for Robin. Robin went through all this stuff, hard stuff, without her support. No matter what happens with Lulu, he and Rocco will be together and see each other through it. That’s what Rocco will remember and that’s what matters.

 Elizabeth says she’s an adult and can take it, and Terry says, she’s worried about other people. Elizabeth says, especially Aiden. One afternoon meant so much to him. He was open and vulnerable, and it was so good for him. Terry says she bets it was good for Lucky too, and Elizabeth says, Lucky is a smart man. He’s traveled the world and seen things they can only dream of. But sometimes she wonders if he never learned that time is the one thing he can never get back.

Brad says, it’s hard to believe a mistake just happened randomly, but Portia says, mistakes happen all the time. Why is he bringing it to her attention? He says he just wanted her to see how hard he’s working that he caught such a jarring discrepancy. He’d like Portia to have his back during his trial period. He wants to make sure if people ask about him, she has good things to say. He’s sure his due diligence will catch the attention of the higher ups, but if she thinks he should just forget about it, he’s willing to consider that too. So tell him. What will get him a more favorable review, diligence or discretion?

Martin says, it’s obvious the prosecution has no case and they’d be wasting the court’s time to go to trial. It’s also a complete miscarriage of justice. Reynolds says, the defendant had motive, opportunity, and her vehicle was seen at the scene of the crime which she wasn’t forthcoming about. Martin says, the defendant’s vehicle, not the defendant, and Reynolds says they believe the murder weapon is out there and they’ll find it. He asks the court to consider the scope of the evidence, not just the weapon that conveniently happened to show up. And he reminds the court that this woman has killed twice before. Martin says, irrelevant and prejudicial, and Judge Otis says he needs to evaluate the evidence. The court is in recess. Alexis tells Martin that she’s been to a lot of hearings and can’t tell how this one is going. That’s not a good sign.

Molly finds Kristina in the hallway and says, Kristina needs to go back in. She can end this. She can help mom. If she knows something, she needs to tell the judge.

Sonny tells Diane, it’s not going well. If they don’t drop the charges, he’s going step in and do the right thing.

Portia says she was skeptical when Brad came back after what he did last time, and Brad says, he screwed up. She says, but seeing the hard work he’d putting in, his determination is amazing. She’s impressed. He says he thought she might be, and she says she’s going to recommend he be put on full time when his trial per ends, if not sooner. He thanks her, and hands her the papers for her records. Don’t worry. He has a digital copy. He leaves, Portia closes the door, and tears up the papers, fuming.  

Curtis asks what will happen at Heather’s hearing, and Ric says, he’ll submit the new evidence and argue that the jury reached a verdict without all the facts. Based on how that goes, it could go one of three ways. Heather gets a new trial, which isn’t good for anyone. Curtis says, the victims will have to relive the trauma, and Ric says, or she gets a reduced sentence, which is what he planned. Nobody can argue she didn’t commit what she’s charged with, but the charges could be lowered, and she’ll get reduced time. Curtis says, and the third? and Ric says, it’s a long shot, but Heather could be offered a plea of manslaughter, and with time served, she could be granted immediate release.

Judge Otis comes back and says he’s reviewed the evidence and considered the argument on both sides. In light of the new development and insufficient evidence, the case is dismissed. Alexis is free to go. Court is dismissed. Alexis says she guesses she was wrong, and Martin says he never doubted it for a minute. Michael says he knew dad would come through, and he and Kristina hug. She says she’s so happy, and looks at Molly, but Molly looks away. Diane says she’s guessing Sonny is glad he didn’t confess, and he smiles. Kristina hugs Alexis, then Sam, then Molly, Kristina says, it’s amazing, and Sonny says, Alexis will be sleeping in her own bed tonight. Alexis says she knows what Sonny was going to do for her, and he says he does what he can for the people he loves. Kristina says, it’s finally over, and hugs Alexis again.

In the hallway, Michael tells Molly, hold up. Where is she going? Molly says she had to get out. She’s happy for mom and will celebrate with her later, but it never should have gone this far. It’s Kristina’s fault. Everybody thinks she’s forgiven and forgotten, but she can’t, and she won’t.

Anna says she’ll pray for Lulu and be thinking of Dante and Rocco. If there’s anything she can do, don’t hesitate to ask. Dante thanks her and says, his mom was great at getting the word out about a donor match. People are getting tested and they’re waiting for the results. She says she hopes it’s soon, and he says him too. She says she knows how much he still cares for Lulu, and he says he’d do anything for Lulu. He’d trade his life for hers.

Brad delivers the paperwork to Elizabeth, and she thanks him. She looks at the computer and says she doesn’t believe it. Terry asks if something is wrong, but she says, no. It’s very right. They found Lulu a match.

Tomorrow, Brook tells Tracy that they just put out a fire and now she wants to start another one; Drew says he needs Michael to make it work; and Elizabeth tells Laura that she has good news.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Cala Tarida, Ibiza. In Daisy’s interview, she says, dinner on night one and they’re in the sh*t. She did put Cloyce in a sticky situation, but he’s a chef on a superyacht and needs to adapt to last minute stuff. Daisy brings primary Scott a fresh steak, and Cloyce comes up to say, sorry about the mix up. In Cloyce’s interview, he says, when he cooks, a different element in his brain turns on. He’s used to things going well. He may look like an idiot, but he’s not stupid. I have the feeling that Cloyce’s confidence isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. This is like the third time he’s used the word idiot in reference to himself. Gary Leaves to pick up the dancing instructor, and Captain Glenn asks how Cloyce is doing. Cloyce says he’s disappointed with himself, and in Captain Glenn’s interview, he says, Cloyce is a young guy with serious talent. At that age, he was still partying. We see some pictures of him with… an afro? How old is he? He says, Cloyce may have a lot of growing to do, but you don’t want fall into the good enough trap. You want your chef to be great.

Gary picks up dance instructor Ellie, and in Danni’s interview, she says she wants male attention. She was a nobody, then she went to the gym and became a cheerleader. That’s probably where her confidence came from. She suggests we all go to the gym, which isn’t a bad idea for anyone, but not for those reasons. Ellie arrives, and Daisy says, the guests want the crew to be involved. They dress up in leather and lace, and Gary says, girls’ clothes are weird. It’s going to take him an hour to put his outfit on. The guests go upstairs for their lesson and Ellie starts with a sexy walk. In Davide’s interview, he says he never did sexy walking, but once at a crazy festival he married a guy. Then they got divorced. He’s straight, but they’re married on Facebook as well. Gary struggles to get out of his outfit, and I feel his pain. The guests go to bed, and Captain Glenn instructs Emma and Keith on anchor watch, while Gary takes Ellie back. Suddenly, the tender crashes into something.

Gary says he couldn’t see, and realizes he hit a rock. He asks if everyone is okay, and in his interview, he says he just crashed the tender. He’s driven hundreds of thousands of times and never crashed. He drops Ellie off and checks the boat. When they get back to the yacht, he tells Captain Glenn that he hit a rock, and the captain asks if anyone was injured. Gary says, no. He scraped it, but they were able to carry on. Captain Glenn asks if it’s leaking or sinking, and Gary says, there was bubbling by the fiberglass, but he put his hand inside and it seemed fine. The captain says, you don’t want to flood the engine, and in his interview, he says, the boat won’t sink, but the engine could get submerged. If that happens, this tender is through, and it cost around 180,000 euros. It’s always f***ing something. Gary heads for bed and says, if anyone sees the tender sitting lower, wake him up. He calls himself an idiot. I can’t disagree. The tender is still good in the morning, and Cloyce says he woke up thinking he slept through breakfast. That reminds me of the time I woke up thinking I was late for school, rushed around getting dressed, and it turned out to be Saturday.

Captain Glenn says he needs to video the damage, and in Gary’s interview, he says, if there’s a hole, that will be the end of the season for this tender. He doesn’t want to think about it. Danni tells Daisy about Gary crashing the boat, and Gary tells the captain that there’s hardly any damage. Captain Glenn looks at the video, and Gary says, it’s not through the hull piece; it’s just a massive scratch. In the captain’s interview, he says, luckily, it’s cosmetic and didn’t impact the engine. Gary knows better. The guests are going on an excursion, and in Daisy’s interview, she says, O Beach is the quintessential beach club and good for day drinking. In Keith’s interview, he says his last relationship was three and a half years and he’s finally ready to mingle. The guests trickle out and anchor is dropped at Calo des Moror. Breakfast food porn is served, and Daisy tells the guests that they’re headed for the beach club at 2 pm. She tells both stews to go along. Danni flirts with Keith and he wonders why she’s so aggressive.  

Club host Anthony greets the guests, and Scott declares, what happens in Ibiza stays in Ibiza. What an original thought! Diana says, there are so many hot people. She loves this job. Danni finds out that she and Anthony are both from South Africa, and they get to talking. On the boat, Emma asks what Keith thinks about the girls, and he says he likes all of them. Danni is fun. She’s a massive flirt, definitely attractive and adventurous, with an outgoing sense of humor. At the beach club, Anthony asks for Danni’s number.  

In Daisy’s interview, she says, Cloyce is confident and so not her type. It’s cracking her up. Cloyce says, what he has in average characteristics, he strives to make up for in other areas. Danni calls and asks if Gary can bring trunks for one of the guests, and Daisy wonders, who goes to the beach club without trunks? Captain Glenn says, she’s going to have to wake Gary up, and Gary says he was just about being deep. In Gary’s interview, he says, all Daisy does is boss him around like an errand boy. How long is this f***ing day?

The guests toast to Ibiza and do shots. Diana wonders how they’re going to get the guests back to the boat in one piece, but the guests say they don’t want to leave. Danni calls Daisy and tells her that the guests are keen on staying, and Daisy says she’ll swap them out with a deck member. She asks Gary to pick up the girls, but he says, they can wait until he picks up the guests. He was just there. The text says he was there an hour ago, and Daisy says she’ll remember that one, and she walks away. In her interview, she says she didn’t know the guests would want to be there all day. She has turn downs and no one has taken a break. She thinks it’s fair to swap them out. In Gary’s interview, he says, when Daisy tells him to jump, he asks, how high? but when he asks her to do something, it’s like World War III.  Daisy tells Gary, f*** you. She’ll do it herself. He’s just showing what a what a d*ck he is.

Gary tells Emma that Daisy needs to make her plans better, and Emma says, he and Daisy need to figure it out. They’re at each other’s throats again and they’re going to have another row. Daisy tells Cloyce that dinner is on the fly tonight, and in Cloyce’s interview, he says, tonight is a 90s theme. He wasn’t even alive in the 90s. The guests have requested Thai food, and he imagines there’s curry. He needs to make sure tonight goes well after last night. He’s not going to be the first person fired. Gary relents and tells Daisy that he’ll pick up the girls, and she texts Danni. Keith is the swap, and Danni introduces Anthony as her boyfriend. She tells Anthony that she’ll be back and he says he’ll see her later. She leaves, and at 7 pm, the guests are ready to go. Dinner gets changed to 8, and Daisy curses her life while she’s in the shower.

In Diana’s interview, she says she’s been on housekeeping for the past five years. She’s trying to get into service. If you could choose cleaning poop or serving people, which you choose? Does she really have to ask? The guests get back to the boat, and dinner is switched to 8:30. Daisy tells Cloyce, don’t kill her, and in his interview, he says, dinner continues to be pushed back. It’s risking overcooking the proteins and the rice is going to get gummy. It needs to be perfectly cooked, and as a perfectionist, it sketches him out a bit. Is everything fine? Keith tells Danni that she’s punching, meaning, Anthony is above her playing field, and she says, that’s just mean. You’re a f***ing nasty budgie smuggling boofhead. Wow. I’m filing that one away for future reference.

Keith says he’s sorry. He didn’t mean to upset Danni, and Danni says she thinks that about herself every day, and so do a lot of girls. In Diana’s interview, she says she thinks Keith is jealous. Cloyce says, they’re getting into overcooked rice territory, and guest Hakim asks for six shots of Japanese whiskey. Can I have one too? Contessa’s phone rings, and she tells them that she’s on location until the end of July. One of the guests says, the world is our playground, and some of the most glorious food porn I’ve ever seen is served. Hakim asks Cloyce to take a shot with them, but Cloyce says he has to get the captain’s approval. He tells Captain Glenn that he’ll do less than a shot, and the captain says, that’s fine. Cloyce performs a rap song he wrote as he serves the shots, and he’s not bad. In Daisy’s interview, she says she loves it. She didn’t think Cloyce was a hidden Eminem. One of the guests says, the chef is dope as f***, and in Cloyce’s interview, he says, cooking is not the whole Cloyce package. He considers himself a Renaissance man – poetry, archery, dancing, magic. He shuffles some cards in the air, and they fall. He says, and even when the magic doesn’t work out, he’s still got an ace up his sleeve. Big surprise, he pulls an ace out of his sleeve, and says, delicioso. That’s Spanish for, it doesn’t suck. The guests go to bed before midnight, but considering how much they’ve had to drink, it’s a marvel that they didn’t fall asleep at the dinner table.

Keith admits he dealt a low blow to Danni, and in Danni’s interview, she says, if that’s an attempt at flirting, he needs to take a page out of her book. Emma asks if Daisy spoke to Gary, and Daisy says, the way he spoke to her earlier is the way he’s spoken to her since the first charter they worked together. That’s because he’s five and when he likes a girl, he pulls her pigtails. In Daisy’s interview, she says she’s not putting up with Gary’s bullsh*t anymore. She’s not being a weak person people take advantage of. It’s time for her to protect herself.

In the morning, Cloyce does jumping jacks in the galley. Anchor is home, and they sail to Igy Marina where they drop port anchor. The guests declare breakfast, yummy, and Captain Glenn tells the crew to line up on the dock for guest departure. There are hugs and so awesomes, and Contessa says, it’s definitely the top anniversary trip they’ve taken. Scott says, Tamron Hall for sure. As they leave, Captain Glenn blows the horn per usual. Emma says she can’t wait for their first night out, and Gary asks Daisy if they’re going to have a good night. She says she’s tired, and the captain calls for the tip meeting.

Captain Glenn says, charter one is done. The guests had a great time. The first dinner was one hiccup, but dinner two was much better. The guests were definitely a handful, but the interior did an amazing job. He understands what happened with the tender was an accident, but remember that safety is their number one priority. The tip is a measly $15K, or 1435 euros each. In Diana’s interview, she says she’s not happy. She’s not going to lie. She wants more. They clink champagne glasses, and Daisy says, this is the last time they’ll be friends. Enjoy it. They’ll be f***ing or fighting. Captain Glenn says, or both, and Anthony texts Danni. Danni tells Diana that there are plenty of fish in the sea around here, and they get dressed to go out. In Cloyce’s interview, he says he likes to feel elegant, upscale, and put together, in a position to make big money moves. He wants to look sexy, but with some mystery. It makes the women intrigued. Captain Glenn tells them to have fun, and they head for old town.

On the boat, Captain Glenn learns how say, where is the nearest ice cream shop? and, how do I get to the club? Daisy toasts to a good season and the guys gather together. Gary asks who Cloyce has eyes for and Cloyce says he doesn’t have eyes. He thinks Daisy would be a good wife. She’s organized and runs a tight ship. He likes when a lady tells him how it’s going to be. In Gary’s interview, he thinks Daisy would eat Cloyce alive. I wouldn’t though. Too bad he’s tad young for me. Danni brings up what Keith said, and Daisy asks Gary to go for a smoke. She tells him to get his head in the game. She’s warning him, don’t f*** up. She’s not babysitting him. She’s always had his back and he’s thrown her under the bus. She’ll throw him so far under if he’s not in her corner. In Gary’s interview, he says he’s surprised at her hatred toward him. All he has is love for her and she’s making it harder. He still has feelings for her. She says she’s letting him know. He’s either in her corner or not, but she’s not sitting back this time. She’s f***ing done.

Next time, there’s water on the boat; the tender slips away; and the chef disappears to go have a good time.

🎃 Frost On the Punkin…

Join me tomorrow for soap, NYC talk, and the weekend’s watch. Until then, stay safe; stay testing for skin allergies before using face paint with a costume (or even if you’re thinking of wearing it on the daily – no judgement); and stay learning early that time is the one thing you can never get back.
