What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Robin answers the door at Anna’s. It’s Jason.
Josslyn texts Oscar, asking if they’re still on to work on the English project.
Oscar tells Drew it was a cool party. Drew thinks it’s great to have family together. Oscar talks about putting his display together for English class, and Kim asks if he thinks he’s leaving without discussing the fight.
Cameron stops by the hospital, and Elizabeth sees his face. She asks, what happened?
Ryan as Doc makes restaurant reservations. He looks at a picture of Doc and Laura, and says he’ll have a special guest joining him. Franco walks in, and says he’s on to him. He’s figured out what he’s up to, and calls him doctor.
Jordan tells Sonny that she and Margaux have questions related to the incident at Charlie’s Pub. Sonny has said everything he has to say, but Margaux says they came to talk to his father. Mike doesn’t know how he can help, and Jordan says he was in the pub when the gas line exploded. Margaux says maybe he can shed some light on how a body came to be buried in the basement.
Robin tells Jason that she’s been meaning to reach out and thank him for helping save her mom. Jason says Anna saved herself; he didn’t do much. Robin says it’s like him not to take credit. He’s just glad her mom is safe, and she says a large part is due to him. He asks how they’re doing, and she says they’re a work in progress; she’s going with that. She says, finding out she has a long lost brother… and Jason says, it’s a lot. She says he must hate it. Peter stole five years from Jason, and he’s out there free.
Oscar tells Kim it’s not a big deal. Kim says he could have been hurt, suspended, or worse. They’ll discuss the consequences when they get home. He bets Cameron’s mom isn’t freaking out. Kim tells Drew that Oscar got in a fight with Cameron, and she’s calling Elizabeth. Oscar asks Drew to stop her, but he doesn’t think that’s the best idea.
Elizabeth tells Cameron it looks like it hurts. She asks how it happened. He says he was messing around, and not looking where he was going. He tripped on a rock. Elizabeth’s phone rings. It’s Kim. She tells Cameron that he and Oscar got in a fight, but he insists they didn’t.
Franco tells Ryan that he can’t fool him. He knows Doc’s generous wedding gift was a way to keep him coming to sessions to get more information for his study. And now he’s out a crockpot. Ryan asks if he has an appointment, and Franco tells him that he said to come anytime. Ryan asks what’s on his mind, but Franco says, tell him. Doc knows Franco’s history better than anyone. Does he think a guy like Franco has a place with a family like Elizabeth’s?
Mike says he knows nothing about a body. Margaux asks if he’s sure, and Sonny asks if she’s aware of Mike’s illness. It’s no state to question him in. Carly says he gets upset, and it exacerbates his condition. Margaux says he was old friends with Charlie, and Mike says he knew him. Margaux says there’s been a body stashed under the bar for decades. Does he know anything about that?
Robin tells Jason that what happened wasn’t right. He’s allowed to be mad. She’s still mad. Jason says, and she can’t show it. She says she slipped into strong, brave Robin. After she first found out she was HIV positive, everybody was having a hard time, and she thought she had to be strong for them. He’s the only person she can talk to; say anything to. She thinks she has a handle on it, and Emma shows her a picture of something she missed. She’s reminded of all the moments she was deprived of. At least she has the satisfaction of Faison being dead. Peter could be having dinner at the MetroCourt because of her parents.
Margaux says Mike and Charlie seem to go way back. Carly asks if she’s implying Mike had something to do with it, and Margaux says, not at all. Jordan says they’re just hoping he can help. Carly asks if Margaux isn’t concerned, since she sent Carly to Ferncliff because her last name is Corinthos. Does she want to dig a hole with Mike when she just crawled out of one with her? Sonny says they’re dead wrong if they think Mike had anything to do with the murder. Margaux says, interesting choice of words. Wow. That was a big slip on Sonny’s part.
Elizabeth says obviously they don’t want their boys fighting, and Kim says they’ll talk later. Oscar can’t believe she did that. Kim says she’s looking out for him, and he says she’s ruining his life. His mommy saved him, the kids at school will probably have a field day. He asks if he can stay another night to finish his project. Kim says he’s just postponing his punishment, but says he can stay. He leaves the room, and Drew says, he’s a teen. Kim says, happy birthday.
Elizabeth says, so Cameron tripped on a rock. Would the rock’s name be Oscar? He’s sorry he lied; he knew she’d be upset. She says, of course she is. He can’t be getting into fights, especially not with Oscar. He asks what she means.
Ryan tells Franco that he needs him to unpack that statement. Why does he feel he can’t be part of Elizabeth’s family? Franco says his reach is limited with the boys. They’ve been together for years, but Cameron still treats him like an outsider, and Aiden will follow his big brother’s lead. Elizabeth’s children are her life. Yesterday, he saw Elizabeth and Drew hugging. He knows they have a relationship because of Jake, and he gets that Drew is still connected with the boys. He feels like his relationship with Jake solid. They have a relationship beyond their shared childhood trauma. Ryan says they had similar experiences, and Franco says, Jake didn’t have a special friend, but emotional abuse and physical abuse can have the same impact. He wants to know how long it takes. When will his history stop hanging over him like a dense fog? Ryan says, never.
Robin tells Jason that her mom didn’t want to prosecute Peter, and her dad’s rank made it happen. She didn’t want her brother sent away for twenty years in Steinmaur, but he deserves to be punished for what he did to Jason. She wouldn’t blame him if… He says he has no intention of retaliating, out of respect for Robin and her mom.
Josslyn meets Oscar at the Quartermaine’s. She says good thing he texted; she was halfway to his mom’s. Oscar says, sorry, and she asks, why the location change? He says things got tense at the party. She sees his hand, and asks what happened. He says he got in a fight with Cameron after he told Oscar that they kissed.
Kim goes through the mail, and pulls out a manila envelope. She gets weepy, and puts her head in her hands. There’s a knock at the door. She pulls herself together, and answers. It’s Drew. He says they have some unfinished business.
Franco tells Ryan it’s not the reaction he was expecting. Who is he, and what has he done with Kevin? Ryan says he’s wary of using terms like getting over it when comes to mental health. The past is past. It’s written in blood, and you can’t get over it; it’s always with you. Having said that, he tells Franco what they can do is find way to channel his history to be productive. What is he prepared to do to keep the people he loves from running?
Margaux says Mike and Charlie had a history, and Sonny asks what that has to do with his father. She says, maybe nothing, but there seems to be a lot of crossover with this family and Charlie’s Pub, including Sonny trying to buy the bar. He says he sells coffee there; it’s called vertical integration. It’s a business move. Margaux says the body has been found. There’s only matter of time before they ID it, and determine what happened and who’s involved. If Mike has anything to tell her about the night of the explosion, now would be a good time. Jordan says they can help him, and Carly says he’s not answering any questions without a lawyer. Margaux asks if he can tell them why he was there that night.
Jason tells Robin, when he was going through the search with her mom, he learned a lot. Robin says, she’s a good liar. He says she never told him, but he saw how torn up she was looking back, and he respected her. Maybe is wasn’t the right choice, but Anna had to carry the consequences for the rest of her life. It’s not easy. Robin says, no, it’s not. Too bad he wasn’t there when Anna told her. It didn’t go well. All she could see was the bad, and not what Anna did to overcome it. Jason says he thought about revenge, but it won’t get back the time he lost, and it would hurt her mom. So for her sake, he’s glad it got dropped.
Sonny says he’ll call Diane, but Mike says, it’s okay; he has nothing to hide. He walks by Charlie’s almost every night, and that night, he thought he should go in and talk to the owner about getting his daughter a job. Jordan says he must mean his granddaughter. That’s why Kristina was at Charlie’s. She asks if Mike set it up, and Mike says, Kristina is barely out of diapers. He’s talking about Courtney, his daughter. She’s had some shady gigs, and he felt she’d be safe there. He asks why everyone is looking at him.
Franco says Doc is very good. Instead of telling him be honest with Elizabeth, he’s leading him to make the determination on his own. He needs to share his concerns, and not let the smaller thoughts and insecurities come between them. Ryan jokes, he’s supposed to be the therapist. He says it was a good session. He knows Franco was taken aback, but it does no good to paint a rosy unrealistic picture. Franco needs to find closure. Franco says his abuser is dead, but Ryan says they have so much more to explore. Don’t wait too long before seeing him again. After Franco leaves, Ryan takes out his file.
Cameron tells Elizabeth that he tried to walk away, but Oscar pushed him. Elizabeth wants them to be friends, and Cameron asks why she cares if they hang out? Elizabeth says she’s friends with Oscar’s mom, and she’d like it if their boys would at least not beat each other up. She asks what the fight was about. School? Sports? Girls? She sees his face, and says, oh. Josslyn.
Drew tells Kim he thought they could discuss Oscar, and she says she thought they were on the same page. He says she wants him to live a normal life. Boys fighting are part of a normal life. She has the right to pass out consequences, but keeping him in a bubble is denying him his chance of having choices. She asks what the solution is, and Drew says, give him control of his life. Tell him he’s sick.
Mike tells Margaux and Jordan that he doesn’t know about the gas leak or a body. He was just getting a job for his daughter. In an amazingly insensitive move, Jordan says she’s been dead for years. Mike freaks. Sonny tells Mike that Jordan mistook Courtney for someone else. Carly tells them if they want to talk to Mike, she’ll bring him to the station with his lawyer. Jordan regrets any discomfort, and she and Margaux leave. When they’re gone, Mike laughs, and asks if he was good. Yeah. I thought Mike was faking.
Robin thanks Jason for his generosity in not pursuing the case. Maybe one day she can suck it up, but she feels like she’d be betraying Jason. Jason says whatever Peter did is in the past. It’s over, unless he’s actively hurting someone. Robin says, then all bets are off. It never occurred to her that she’s not the only one putting on a brave face. Her mom too. Robin wonders where she and Jason would be now if they hadn’t found each other.
Kim says she’ll tell Oscar, and Drew asks, when? She doesn’t know, and says Oscar has a birthday coming up. Can Drew give him that? Drew says, too many people know; they have to face the facts that Oscar is sick. She tells not to tell her how to coach in the last inning. She’s been making every important decision; alone. He says she’s not alone anymore; let him help. It will only get worse, and Oscar could find out from someone else. Is that what she wants? She says, of course not, and Drew says she needs to tell him. Kim says she’s a doctor. She’s consulted, and gone over the results, backward and forward. The chance of Oscar seeing his next birthday are excellent. Let him celebrate another year without fallout. Drew says, after.
Josslyn can’t believe Oscar and Cameron were fighting over her. Oscar asks if she’s mad, and she says, no, but it’s a waste of time. They could fight all day every day, and it would make no difference. She has a mind of her own. Oscar says he got jealous when Cameron said he kissed Josslyn. Josslyn says Cameron kissed her. She was pissed. Oscar says, join the club. He didn’t want to upset her, but wishes he hadn’t found out from Cameron. That made it way worse. He asks if she likes Cameron.
Elizabeth says, Cameron kissed Josslyn when he knows she’s dating Oscar? Cameron says, it was just a kiss. He’s been into her forever. Elizabeth says that doesn’t mean he can kiss her without her consent. Cameron says he got the message; from both of them. She says they’re not finished with the conversation. Cameron leaves, walking past Franco and ignoring him. Elizabeth says she’ll tell Franco about it later over wine. She asks why he’s there; she thought he was headed home. He says he decided to visit Doc, and talk about his relationship with Cameron. Doc encouraged him to be honest with her. Something else happened. He thought their relationship was smooth sailing, then saw her with Drew. They were hugging. He knows they have a relationship because of Jake, but he felt insecure as a father figure for a minute. He wondered if she thought someone else was better at the job. She thanks him for sharing, and says the hug had nothing to do with her relationship with Drew or Jake. Franco asks, what’s going on? It looked intense.
Jason asks why Robin didn’t tell him about Patrick and Sam almost getting married. She asks who told him, and he says, Sam. Robin knows it was all kinds of wrong on a million levels, but can they get dinner, and never talk about it again?
Outside Sonny’s, Margaux says she kept pressing, and Jordan says any statement they would have gotten from Mike would have been tossed out. Margaux thinks it’s a dead end for results. If they’re lucky, the bullet will lead them straight to the killer.
Mike says the DA thought she’d make him useful in getting to Sonny. He did what he had to do. Carly says Mike talking about Courtney was an act, and Mike says he didn’t like using it, but he’s having more bad days than good days lately. When he has a good one, he wants to make it count. Sonny says he didn’t have to, but Mike says, he did. Sonny is going through hell because of something Mike did when Sonny was a kid. In trying to protect him, he made it worse. He’s going to fix it; Sonny will see. He’s not going to be a burden anymore. Carly says, he’s not; they love him. He tells her to make an appointment to visit the facility. He wants to keep his options open.
Josslyn says of course she likes Cameron. She’s known him her whole life. He’s a great guy, but that doesn’t mean she wants to be with him. She thought Oscar knew her by now. He says he does, but he needs to be reminded once in a while. She says they were supposed to meet, but he didn’t show up. Oscar says he was in the hospital, and Josslyn says they didn’t know it yet. Cameron thought Oscar was blowing her off, and saw it as an opening, which it wasn’t, and kissed her. She shut him down faster than immediately. Oscar is sorry he and Cameron fought, and Josslyn is sorry he thought he had to. Josslyn asks him to never fight again, but he says he can’t promise that. She thought he was a lover, not a fighter, but he says maybe he’s somewhere in between. They kiss.
Kim tells Drew that Oscar is a young man, enjoying life; hiking, music, a girlfriend, blissfully unaware. As his mom, she can give this to him. Once he knows, he can still be happy, but there will always be a dark cloud lingering. It’s frustrating; she has no control. She can’t help him. She can’t save him. The only thing she can give to him is his happiness without a dark cloud hanging over him. She knows it’s not much, but it’s something. She wants it for him. She needs it. Drew says, okay. They’ll tell him after his birthday. She thanks him, and he holds her.
Elizabeth says she told Kim that she and Franco weren’t keeping secrets, but if he asked her directly, she’d have to be honest. She and Drew were hugging because she was comforting him. He’d received horrible news. That’s not even the right word – it’s unthinkable. Oscar has a malignant brain tumor.
Ryan looks at Franco’s file. There’s a knock at the door. He opens it and smiles. He says their reservations are all set. He’s so glad she could make it on short notice. Lucy says she would do anything for him.
Tomorrow, Nina asks Anna if she’s in danger, Julian wants to see Oscar, and Lulu tells Maxie that she’s writing the Ryan Chamberlain piece.
The Real Housewives of Orange County
Just for the record, I think Shane is a little bitch.
Emily starts to get in Kelly’s face and point her finger, yelling, that’s my husband. She tells the others to get Kelly the eff away from her. Gina tells her to walk away. Shannon tries to calm Kelly down, who isn’t nearly as crazy. In her interview, Tamra says she goes upstairs for literally five minutes, and all hell breaks loose. She asks Emily what happened, and Emily says don’t call her husband a bitch, confusing Tamra. Emily says Kelly called her husband a bitch, and it’s not okay. In her interview, Vicki says Kelly fights dirty, and uses words she never would. We flash back to a few times Kelly has said what we’re all thinking.
Shane says he doesn’t care. Emily says she does, and he asks if she’s valuing Kelly’s opinion. He tries to get her to chill for a moment. She says she can’t deal, and he says don’t hang out with her ten. Her MO is to drink and get mad at people. In her interview, Emily says her only response to Kelly being offensive is to protect her husband and marriage, and take Kelly down. She asks Shane what he’d do if someone talked like that about her, and he says he’d take her out of the situation and leave.
Gina says she’s dealing with her own sh*t right now. Kelly tells her that Emily said she’s going to kill her, and she’s a lawyer. In her interview, Kelly says if she’d known Shane was Emily’s husband, she would have called him a p*ssy. She doesn’t like people getting in her business; she goes nuts. Vicki tells Emily that her husband took the fall for Steve. He’s friends with Kelly’s ex. Vicki says the marriage didn’t work, and they both moved on. She doesn’t need Kelly to destroy her situation. She’s all about love. Steve asks if he can get her anything, and Vicki says her pajamas and hot tea. In her interview, Vicki thinks they should all be quiet, go home, and let the alcohol wear off. Nothing is going to be solved tonight. Vicki calls it a night, and tells them, no fighting.
Kelly wonders if Steve is hitting it and quitting it. She heard he’s using Vicki for her money. Money talks; bullsh*t walks. In her interview, Kelly thinks Steve is hiding something, and everyone should know what kind of person he is. She leave the party. Tamra asks if Eddie had good birthday. She forgot to get a present, and he says she’s his present. Aww.
Vicki visits Tamra, telling her the house cleaned up nice. She says the red thing came off well; other things didn’t. Tamra says she invited Emily over, since she got two different stories. She was upstairs showing someone her new furniture. In her interview, Tamra thinks there’s more to the conversation than she’s hearing. She needs to get to the bottom of things. Vicki says she thought Kelly was over harboring feelings against Steve. She says Page Six reached out. Steve said he was still friends with Michael and he was the one who set him up with the date. Kelly is overreacting. It’s not about her; it’s about two guys being friends. He talked about Vicki saying not to tell Kelly on social media, and Kelly called him a d-bag.
Emily arrives. Vicki tells her that Kelly is mad at Steve, but he wants noting to do with her. Emily says Shane doesn’t either; he doesn’t have time for that. Tamra says Shane pushed a button, and Emily says she would have handled it differently if she’d known what was going on. Tamra says Kelly has to be sat down for a one-on-one, and have things explained to her. Then she’ll admit she was an a-hole. Vicki says Kelly doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Steve; she doesn’t want anyone to be happy. Tamra tells Vicki that Kelly said Steve was with her for her money. In her interview, Tamra says it’s the worst thing when the women start playing telephone with a rumor, so she wanted it out there right away. Emily says Vicki makes her own money, so she doesn’t need to be with a man who has money. I’m not sure if that exonerated Steve very well. Vicki just wants everyone to leave them alone. And by the way, she doesn’t have that much money.
Shannon calls Kelly on way to her date. She’s nervous; no bueno. She tells Kelly that she’s wearing eff-me shoes. In her interview, Shannon says she’s fifty-four and going on her first blind date. We see a clip of Shannon telling Tamra the matchmaker called, and showing Tamra his picture. Tamra says he has a lot of cats, and Shannon is like, what? She says it’s her first date in twenty years. Clinton was President the last time she had a first date. She hobbles out of the limo.
The hostess tells Shannon that Tom is waiting for her at the bar. She apologizes for being late, and explains she sprained her ankle. He’s impressed that she can wear high heels with an injury. In her interview, she’s pleasantly surprised that he’s handsome. She also hasn’t had this many compliments in a long time. She tells him about her daughters, and how one is a great athlete, but didn’t get it from her. He tells her that he was married thirty years, and spent the first year after the divorce crying. He was like the Sarah McLaughlin song that plays during the save-the-dogs commercial. In her interview, Shannon says she’s never been with someone who cries; he’s clearly sensitive. She likes him, and he’s nice, but he has too many cats. She’s not a cat person.
Wow. It’s over already, so I guess it was just drinks. Tom helps Shannon up, and she says this is where she uses her core. She doesn’t have one, but she’s going to get one someday. I literally lol. Yeah, me too.
Tamra packs for Florida. She and Eddie are going to Disney. She talks on the phone to Gina, saying she’s a little concerned about having to wear a boot. I doubt they let you on many rides if you’re wearing one.
Emily calls Kelly. They haven’t spoken since the party, and she thinks they should sit down and talk.
In her interview, Gina says she and Matt are struggling. They’ve been fighting; it sucks and it’s embarrassing. She visits Emily at her office. She says she didn’t want to tell her friends the relationship isn’t perfect. She’s trying to process. The party was a lot, and she was upset already dealing with life. Emily feels like from the time they met until now, they skipped a million steps. Gina says she and Matt couldn’t figure it out. They both felt the same way, but didn’t want to say anything. They’ve been fighting a lot. In her interview, Gina says when they started fighting over stupid things, they were forced to look at and evaluate their relationship. They don’t have an emotional connection. She asks Emily, what’s the alternative? They think about the kids, want to make it work, and fight again. She doesn’t want to look back and end up with what Shannon is going though. She doesn’t think of it as a failure; it’s just empty. In her interview, Gina says it’s not about what she wants in a partner, but realizing what she doesn’t have. She tells Emily there’s a social perception of what their relationship should be. Emily says she needs to come up with what she feels is best, and go with it. Really? She gets paid for that kind of advice?
Steve takes Vicki to lunch, and it’s a surprise party with both of their families. In her interview, Vicki says it makes her feel important that people are taking time out for her, especially son Michael. She says she feels popular. Vicki’s brother Billy comes out with some tequila shots, dressed like a waiter. She’s totally shocked to see him; he flew in from Chicago. In her interview, she says it’s her family, and it feels good to be here. Michael helped organize it, and she says she respects and loves her family. She tells Steve that he’d better not let her down or she’ll go to his mother. She drinks part of a shot, and dumps the rest, saying she can’t do like she used to. In her interview, she says she feels great at fifty-six, and feels at peace with Steve in her life. She says she doesn’t need a man for money or vice versa, and tells everyone she’s with Steve for love, unlike some people. In her interview, Vicki says Kelly just wants to find a way to hurt her. She’d said she was jealous of Vicki’s relationship. She tells everyone it’s the best birthday ever.
Vicki goes with Shannon to see Dr. Moon. Shannon tells him that she sprained her ankle, and Vicki’s ankle is swelling. In her interview, Shannon explains that Dr. Moon is an energy healer she’s been seeing since the children were born. Dr. Moon says she either talks or eats too much. She says he helped her with emotional resentment. She built up anger in her liver, and there was sadness in her lungs. It’s all about emotional energy in the body. Dr. Moon puts some needles in Shannon’s hand, and babbles about pain balance and symmetry. He checks out Vicki, saying she’s had anger in the past, and it gave her liver stress. Shannon asks who she’s angry at, and Vicki says Brooks Dr. Moon tells her to think about the anger, and pokes at her. She yells, ow! and says it’s like an exorcism.
Gina calls mom Susan while the kids are napping. She says she knew something was off, and has been having feelings of self-awareness. On Long Island, they grew up in a bubble, got married, and had babies. When they moved there, everything was different. When Matt moved, there was so much space, but when he comes home, there’s a disconnect. They tried to have a conversation, and be reasonable, and they think the best thing is a divorce. She cries. In her interview, Gina says it’s like a death by 1000 paper cuts when you’ve been with someone so long. They’ve been best friends for eleven years; she doesn’t know what to do with it. Susan tells her to be sure of what she wants. Gina asks if her dad will be upset, but Susan says he loves and wants what’s best for her and the kids. She can’t do it for anyone else. In her interview, Gina doesn’t know what’s the best decision. She might regret it, and find out it was the worst; but they both feel the decision needs to be made, and they’re making it. Susan says to keep her in loop, and call if she needs anything.
In her interview, Emily is willing to meet with Kelly, and apologize for her part. We see a clip of Emily visiting her therapist. She tells the therapist that she said she’d kill Kelly, and doesn’t know where those words came from. She’s never said that before. Kelly joins her. They both admit they were out of control, and said things that were out of line. Emily says Shane was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Kelly says Shane was butting in where it wasn’t his place. He was sticking up for Steve, and she didn’t like it. Shane said she was drunk and she saw red. Emily says whatever he said that set her off, she understands. Kelly has the right to be mad, but Emily doesn’t appreciate the name calling. That’s her husband, the father of her kids. She can say she doesn’t agree or she doesn’t like what he’s saying. Kelly says she didn’t know he was Emily’s husband, but Emily says she shouldn’t say that stuff to anyone. Kelly tells Emily that she shouldn’t say she’s going to kill someone. Emily says, touché. She’s said she was wrong, and owns that. She feels they’ve both said their piece, and apologized, and should move on. She’d like to be where they were before. Kelly says before someone decides to jump in. They’re at a place called Madison Square & Garden Café. I hate when California tries to be NYC cute.
Tamra, Gina, Emily and Shannon meet for dinner. Tamra says it was great to get away from the stress. Emily asks about Shannon’s date, and Shannon says he was a nice guy. He was married for thirty years, and they decided they weren’t meant for each other. Emily asks if she’s heard from him, and Shannon says he called the next day. Tamra thinks she should go out with someone new, and Shannon says the matchmaker has a few choices for her. Gina thinks it’s weird that Tom and his wife decided they weren’t meant for each other after being married thirty years.
Gina says that Matt isn’t in the conversation a lot because he’s not there, and tells the women that they’re splitting up. He’s been away off and on for eight months, and she already feels like they’ve been separated. Emily says that’s not good for anyone. Tamra says she thought it was weird, and asks why he doesn’t move back home. Gina says he’s away for work, but Tamra thinks you should get divorced over a job. There must be more to it than that. Gina says they’re still friends, and she’s still attracted to him. Emily tells her, the grass is not always greener, but Gina thinks they’re making a good decision before it turns into a bad situation. Shannon says she tried to be fair and amicable. Gina says she and Matt are best friends, and will be their whole lives. In her interview, Shannon says it would be nice to see her fight to keep her family together. Gina appreciates their wisdom. In her interview, Gina says it’s not easy to talk, but some of the others have gone through it, so she’s putting it out there; looking for validation, and seeing it’s okay.
Shannon says she saw Vicki over weekend. Gina says Vicki told her that she regretted not fighting for her marriage. She knows Vicki is coming from a good place, but her relationship is dead. Tamra says it was the last time Vicki was happy. Gina says Vicki is with her boyfriend now, and Tamra says Vicki doesn’t love him. She’d said maybe she should see the matchmaker too. We see a clip of Tamra talking to the matchmaker, and Vicki trying to horn in. Shannon says Dr. Moon did the muscle test. He said she had emotional anger, and Vicki said she’s still angry about Brooks. Tamra says she warned Vicki. Gina says Vicki has been sweet to her, and she hasn’t been burnt by the other side. Tamra says when someone isn’t in a good relationship, attacking another’s marriage is the worst.
Tamra says she missed the argument. Shannon was surprised, since she and Kelly had been rehearsing a mature conversation with Steve. We flash back to that. Knowing Kelly is easily triggered, Gina would have encouraged her not to have a conversation there at all. Shannon says she thinks she knows Kelly better than Gina. Gina says she had to break up a fight, and asks if that was a good outcome. Shannon says Kelly relayed her feelings, and thinks that was a positive step. Maybe Gina shouldn’t be so judgmental. Gina says if you’re going to stir the pot, own it, and Shannon says she wasn’t stirring anything. Gina says she sent Kelly in there. In her interview, Shannon says Emily threatened to kill someone. Why is everything her fault? Gina feels badly for Kelly, and says if she knew Emily was hot, she wouldn’t send her in there either. She’s not judging; she just would have done it differently. Can’t she have a difference of opinion?
Next time, Shane meets with Kelly, Vicki sets up some flirting, and Vicki wonders if Gina has a moral compass.

What I Watched - TV With Theresa
