What I Watched Today

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

General Hospital

At the MetroCourt bar, Carly looks at her engagement ring. She remembers taking off her wedding set, and telling Jason she’s not ready, but it has to be done. Then she flashes back to Jason giving her the new ring. Laura arrives, and apologizes for being late. She had some last minute business repairing potholes. Carly says, you can’t talk too much about potholes, but Laura begs to differ, and she didn’t come there to talk about business. She came there to celebrate Carly’s engagement to Jason. Carly says she just saw the bartender set aside a bottle of their best champagne for Laura. That is not necessary. Laura says, it absolutely is. Think about it. All the bad news they had this year. It’s important to celebrate the good times. Gladys joins them, and says she agrees with the mayor, and please let her offer her congratulations. When’s the wedding date so she can put it in her calendar?

Brando and Sasha come in and sit at a table. He says he’s already ordered them drinks – non-alcoholic. She says just because she’s pregnant doesn’t mean he has to abstain, but he says he wants to. He wants to go through everything she’s going through. (Good luck with that.) Sasha says, he’ll share her labor pains too? and he says he would if he could. He asks if that’s too weird and stalkerish, and she says, from anyone else, kind of, but from him, not in the least. He says, good, and just so she knows, he told Carly that he’s not interested in working in her and Jason’s business. She asks how Carly reacted, and he thinks relieved, but mostly happy that they’ve gotten together. Carly likes her a lot. She says she likes Carly a lot. When she was using, Carly really tried to help her. She was kind and supportive… He says, but she still doesn’t want their baby anywhere near the Corinthos business. She says, nor the baby’s father, and he says two of her wishes have come true. What’s her third wish? She says to know where they go from here.

At the pool (🍷), Josslyn hands Trina a sparkling green tea infused with mango, specialty of the house. Trina says, this is good, and Josslyn says, it was her mom’s idea. She wanted the non-alcoholic drinks to be just as good as the ones with booze. Trina leans back in her lounge chair, and says, this is so nice and relaxing. Josslyn says, sometimes, without Spencer around. Trina says, he’s not so bad, and Josslyn says, he can be; proceed with caution. Trina says this sounds like her talking to her mom, and Josslyn says, she told her mother to proceed with caution? Trina says, she almost did. Her mom is seeing someone. Josslyn says, like dating them? and Trina says, it’s the first time her mom has ever been serious enough about a guy, besides her dad, to tell her about it.

Curtis and Portia kiss, and she says she can’t believe this is real; they’re really together. He says, they are, and she says, which is why she hesitated to tell Trina. Does he know what a huge deal that is? She’s never spoken to Trina about any man she was seeing. He asks, why? and she says, no one was ever important enough.

Dante goes to Jordan’s office, and she says she got his report on David Hopkins, the helicopter pilot. He says they got some good info from Anna. He’s been going over the security footage from the hospital, the day the pilot was going to pick up Peter from the roof. She says, any luck? and he says Cyrus had the cameras disabled from the stairwells leading to the rooftop. She says, so no information on Peter’s accomplice? and he tells her, Anna said the pilot’s description was a bit vague. She says she read it in his report, and asks if Anna told him what she’s doing to follow up.

Finn says, ready? and he and Anna open the freezer, but it’s empty, reminding me of Al Capone’s vault. She says, it’s empty, and he says, that’s impossible. He put Peter’s body in there himself. She says he needs to be really honest with her. Who else knows about this?

Elizabeth tells Jason, she and Finn put Peter’s body in the freezer themselves. If Finn moved the body, he would have told her. Maybe it was Anna; maybe she found out. He says, somebody would have seen her. The cameras weren’t disabled until a few minutes before he went to the basement. She says, unless Anna figured out a way around the cameras. She saw them in Finn’s office. The way they looked, she thinks Finn was telling Anna that he killed Peter.

Trina says she honestly doesn’t know why she’s so weirded out by her mom dating. Maybe because it feels like life is changing so fast, and she wants her mom to stay the same. Josslyn says she knows what Trina means. They’ll be going to college soon, and it seems like their moms are taking advantage of their new lives to start new lives of their own. Trina says, Josslyn’s mom is marrying Jason, and Josslyn says, and Trina’s mom is getting serious about dating. Trina says, it’s hard seeing her mom as anything other than a mom and a doctor. Maybe that’s partly why she’s so confused. Josslyn asks, what’s the other part? and Trina says she thinks it’s the man her mom is seeing.

Portia asks Curtis, what’s that look about? and he says he’s just touched that she told Trina about him. He’s also surprised. She says, why? and he says he knows Trina’s happiness is her priority. She pours them some wine, and he says he has to know, what was her reaction? She says, Trina admitted she felt a little weird – her word – talking about it, but in the end, she just wants to see Portia happy. He says, if her reaction had been different, would he be sitting there right now? and she says, probably not. He laughs and says, that’s fair, and she says, she would have done her best to convince Trina to see the man that she sees. He says, they both know how convincing she can be when she wants to be, and she tells him, don’t you ever forget it. He says, when she’s ready, can he convince her and Trina to let him treat them to dinner?

On the phone, Jordan says she’ll let them know. She’ll handle it personally. She tells Dante that it was Monica. Some of the security cameras at GH were down again. He says, the same ones that were just fixed? and she says she’s afraid so. He says, Cyrus is in jail. That means his network is still intact. She says, maybe they want to continue to operate out of the hospital. Let’s go.

Jason says there’s no way Anna made it to the basement before him, and Elizabeth says she was sure Finn was telling Anna everything when she barged into his office. She even gave him an excuse to leave, and he didn’t take it. Jason says he heard her, but he was already on his way to the freezer; they would have crossed paths. She says if somebody else found the body and stole it, why haven’t they contacted Finn?  Or her? He says maybe somebody’s trying to protect her. Peter had a lot of enemies. There are a lot of people who would be glad he’s dead. She says, grateful enough to be their guardian angel? Enough to cover up Finn pushing Peter down the stairs? He says, there’s hundreds of people coming in and out of this hospital every day. It’s possible somebody stepped in. She asks if there’s a way to find out, and he says, there is.

Finn says he told Anna, no one else knows that he put Peter’s body in the freezer, but she says someone could have seen him without him knowing. He says, maybe, but if he was watched, why would someone move Peter’s body? She says, to protect him? and he says, why wouldn’t they tell him? She says, it depends on who this person is. There is, of course (🍷), another explanation. He says, which is? and she asks if he’s absolutely certain Peter is dead.

Brando says, if Sasha was granting him the where do we go from here wish, he’d say he’d like more time with her. She asks if he thinks they should get to know each other better before the baby arrives. He says, it would help with co-parenting, doesn’t she think? Her phone beeps, and he asks if he’s keeping her from something. She says she set a reminder on her phone to go check for apartments. Her studio is so tiny, even she can barely fit into it, let alone a new baby. He says, which reminds him, he needs to baby-proof his apartment, for when she and the baby come over. And maybe someday, the three of them will move in together – no pressure. She says, the three of them as in her, him, and the baby, or her, him, and Gladys?

Carly tells Gladys, they haven’t set a date yet, so invitations aren’t an issue. Gladys says she hopes they won’t be an issue where she’s concerned. Remember Sonny – may he rest – was her dear cousin. Laura says, and her dear friend, and Gladys says, then Laura realizes he’d want people at the wedding who remember him fondly, instead of dancing on his grave. Carly tells Gladys, she will not be on the guest list, and Gladys says, after she risked her life to exonerate the groom? Carly says, after Gladys perjured herself to make sure he was arrested in the first place. Brando runs over, and says he just saw Gladys was there. Would she like to grab a drink? She asks if he can afford it; the prices are so high there, and he chose not to join the lucrative Corinthos Coffee business. Laura says she’s sure he had good reasons, and Carly says, like a successful garage, but Gladys says, not as successful as the family business. Brando says, that’s enough, Sasha’s waiting, and leads her away. Laura says, oh my God, and starts laughing. She says she’s sorry, and Carly says she’s sorry Laura had to hear that. Brando is sweet, and it’s the only reason she doesn’t have Gladys thrown out of her restaurant. Laura asks how she feels about what Gladys said, and Carly says, that she’s dancing on Sonny’s grave? It’s just Gladys. Petty, nasty, and dead wrong.

Josslyn says Trina’s mom is seeing Curtis? and Trina says, on the one hand, she spent months hating Curtis for not doing more to save her dad. Then she realized her dad wasn’t really dead, so she had to take a step back, apologize and reassess. And that was before Curtis saved her and her mom from Cyrus, so it was already completely complicated. Then, on top of everything, Curtis is dating her mom. Josslyn asks if Trina thinks that’s why her mom and Curtis got together, because of what happened with Cyrus? Trina thinks that’s part of it, but she suspects it started before then. For a while, she thought her mom was the reason that Commissioner Ashford and Curtis split up.

Jordan tells security guy Bob, Bill, or whatever his name is, that Monica thought there was an issue with the new security measures she put in place, specifically the cameras installed in the stairwells leading to the roof, and the hallways leading to the basement. He says he thought it was best to let Monica know, so she could bring in the PCPD, in case Cyrus’s people are involved again. Dante asks how they access the hospitals basements, and he says, this way. They follow him.

Portia loves that Curtis wants to get to know her daughter better, and promises to take him up on the offer after the spend a little more time together, get a little more comfortable. After he… He says, after he tells Jordan. Of course (🍷). She says she knows speaking with Trina isn’t going to be easy, and he says that’s not what worries him. She says, then what is? and he asks, exactly how much did she tell Trina about them? Did she mention that they had an affair when Portia was still married to her father?

Gladys asks how her grandchild is, and if Sasha is taking good care of him or her. Sasha says, of course (🍷). This baby is her number one priority. Gladys says, like Brando is hers. If this baby is anything like his dad, be prepared for changing lots and lots of diapers. Sasha says she’s prepared, and she’s sure Brando will be prepared too, and Gladys says, of course (🍷), but Sasha and the baby can’t move in with them; there’s no room. Brando says he wanted to talk to her about that. He thinks it’s time she moved out.

Laura says Carly and Jason are planning a future together, and that is something to celebrate. She clinks her glass against Carly’s, and Carly thanks her. She asks if Laura thinks it’s too soon after Sonny, and Laura tells her not to let Gladys get to her. Carly says she’s not. She knows Gladys makes anyone a target. Laura says she has to admit, when she heard they were engaged, she was a little surprised, and Carly asks if she means so soon after Sonny’s death. Laura says she’s not passing judgement, and Carly says she’s sorry. It’s not Laura. It’s not Gladys. It’s her.

Jason tells Elizabeth that Spinelli confirmed he disengaged the cameras in the stairwells leading to the roof, and the stairwells below the parking garage. She says, so security couldn’t have seen him taking the elevator to the subbasement, and he says, or entering it either. When he didn’t find Peter’s body, he had Spinelli check the footage to see if anybody was heading down to the basement before the cameras were disabled. She says, and? Did he see someone? Jason’s phone dings, and he says, it’s Spinelli. He’s got an answer.

Anna imagines things were moving really fast. Could Finn have been mistaken about Peter’s death? He says he thinks he knows when somebody is dead, and she says, the conditions were less than ideal. Chase was in critical condition, and he needed to move Peter’s body before it was discovered. He wouldn’t be the first doctor to make a mistake. Jordan and Dante walk in, and Jordan asks what Anna and Finn are doing there. Anna says, sorry to catch them off-guard. She was just following up on what they talked about. Dante says they got a call from Monica. Some of the cameras in the hallways leading to the subbasement were also turned off. Jordan asks what Finn is doing down there.

Trina says Josslyn knows her dad is staying with Commissioner Ashford. She went by one night, and saw Curtis’s stuff in boxes, waiting for him to pick them up, but she had a good talk with Commissioner Ashford. She said the reason she and Curtis split up was because she kept too many secrets. So her mom had nothing to do with it. She sits on the edge of the pool (🍷), and puts her feet in the water. Josslyn says, so she has nothing to worry about, and joins her. Trina says, she still feels bad for Commissioner Ashford, especially since she went to Curtis’s nightclub right after. Josslyn asks, why? What happened? and Trina says, Curtis was taking off his wedding band… with her mom’s help. Josslyn says, that’s strange, and Trina says she told Ava, and Ava said not to worry, but now her mom and Curtis are dating, and she can’t shake the feeling they’ve been involved earlier. Josslyn asks, how much earlier? and Trina says, that’s what’s freaking her out. What if Curtis cheated on Commissioner Ashford with her mom?

Portia says she definitely did not tell Trina that she and Curtis were a thing when she was married to Trina’s father. That would break her heart. He says, but Trina forgave Taggert for faking his own death. If she can handle that, maybe she can handle this. Portia says she understands how he feels about secrets, and she’s usually right there with him, but how is this something Trina needs to know? He says, what if their history blows up in their faces? Secrets come out. Just ask Jordan.

Gladys says Brando is kicking her out? Sasha put her son up to this, didn’t she? Brando says, no, it was his idea. He needs the second bedroom for the baby. She asks if Sasha is moving in too, and he says, they’re not ready for that yet. Sasha says, but there will be times the baby stays overnight with Brando. Gladys says, and will sleep in his room. Brando is going to need her help changing diapers, and getting up for late-night feedings. He says he thinks he can handle it. The baby needs a nursery though, so she’ll have to find a place to live. She says he can’t afford her rent, especially since he’s not working for Jason and Carly; that’s where the money is. He says he’s not paying; she will. She asks how he expects her to pay for it, and he says, the same way everyone else does. Get a job.    

Laura asks if Carly is having second thoughts, but Carly says, not at all. She and Jason made this decision together, and their committed. There’s no one else she’d rather spend her life with. Laura says she can think of one other person, and Carly says she loved Sonny. She still does. She misses him so much; she thinks about him a thousand times a day. Sometimes, she starts to text him a picture of Donna, or she wakes up thinking he’s going to climb into bed next to her. Laura says, of course (🍷) she does. Love doesn’t go away overnight. Carly says, Jason gets that. He’s grieving for Sonny too. Laura says, a part of Carly will always be with Sonny, and him with her. And that’s okay. It’s only natural that the friendship she has with Jason would develop into more now that Sonny is gone

Jason tells Elizabeth, Spinelli saw nothing on the security footage to indicate anyone got to the elevator down to the lab before he did. She says, Cyrus had the cameras turned off when he was the head of GH. There was no surveillance when Finn confronted Peter on the roof, and pushed him down the stairs. He says, or when she and Finn put Peter’s body in the freezer. The cameras stayed off for several more weeks. There’s no way to know who took Peter’s body.

Anna says she told Dante that the pilot was supposed to pick Peter up from the roof. Dante says he let Jordan know, and Jordan says, and someone else was on the roof with Peter. Anna says she thought she’d retrace Peter’s steps since he wasn’t picked up by the helicopter. Finn took her to the roof, then she found the abandoned elevator shaft, and came to the subbasement. She was vaguely familiar with this place. Jordan asks how Finn got involved, and he says when he saw Anna on her way to the roof, she told him what she was doing, and he offered to help. He thought he could find some hidden exit that Peter used. Dante tells Jordan he found some blood.

Gladys says, what kind of job? and Brando says she has tons of work experience. She says, he means slinging hash, selling perfume at department stores, and cleaning houses? He says, it’s honest work, and she says, it was hard work. Sometimes, Mike would hit the right pony, and threw a few bucks her way, just so she could put food on the table, and not send Brando to school in torn shirts. He says he appreciates it. Didn’t he send her money when he was in the military? Sasha says, when she told everyone Brando was dead? and he says, the point is, his kid deserves the best life he and Sasha can give them. And that means turning the spare bedroom into a nursery, and filling it with a crib, and toys, and a changing table. Gladys asks where she’s supposed to live, and who would hire her? She’s not as young as she used to be. Sasha says she’ll hire Gladys. Work at Deception.

Carly says she guesses she’s not used to the idea of marrying her best friend, and Laura says she and Doc were friends long before they fell in love. Those are the best marriages. Carly asks if their friendship changed, and Laura says, if anything, they got closer, because they started out as friends. Doc gave her this amazing sense of stability. That no matter how crazy life got – and it did – he’d be there to catch her if she fell. They can disagree, and they still like each other, and respect each other. They work well together; they complement each other. In time, their feelings for each other deepened. Carly says she’s lucky, and Laura agrees. She gives thanks every day for Doc. She doesn’t know how she would have gotten through this tragedy with Lulu without him.     

Josslyn tells Trina, when she was a kid, she thought her parents were perfect. When she grew up, she found out they make mistakes like everyone else. Trina asks if Josslyn thinks her mom lied about when she started seeing Curtis? but Josslyn says she doesn’t know Trina’s mom like Trina does. Does it seem like something she’d do? Trina says, blow up someone else’s marriage? Her mom’s not like that. Josslyn says, then she probably didn’t. Trina says Josslyn is right, but it’s unsettling. If something sketchy was happening, and Curtis could do that to Commissioner Ashford, he could turn around and do it to her mom. Josslyn says, at the end of the day, they’re adults, and what they do is their business, not Trina’s. Trina says, wrong, and gets in the pool (🍷).

Portia says the secrets Jordan kept from Curtis have nothing to do what she does or doesn’t tell her daughter. Curtis respectfully disagrees. Secrets are alike in one pivotal way. They’re ticking timebombs, waiting to explode, hurting everyone who’s close to them. There’s already too many people who know about the affair they had when she was still married to Taggert. She says, Taggert would never ever tell Trina, and neither would Jordan. His Aunt Stella likes to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong, but she doesn’t think even Stella would want to hurt Trina in that way. He says he knows Laura would never say anything, but when this many people know about a secret, it’s bound to get out, intentional or not. He’s surprised she’s not more worried about this, and she says she’s surprised how hard he’s pushing her to go against her better judgement, and tell her daughter something that serves no purpose and she doesn’t think Trina should know. Curtis says, hold on. Are they having a fight?

Jordan and Dante look at the blood, and Dante says, if Peter made his way down there from to roof, he could be hurt. Jordan says, or maybe he hurt the person he was on the roof with. Dante says he’ll check the corridor, and see if there’s any more evidence. Jordan tells Anna and Finn, it’s officially a crime scene, so don’t touch anything, but Anna says they already did. They were in such a rush, neither one of them thought to glove-up. Jordan will have to tell forensics to account for their fingerprints and DNA. Jordan says she’ll let them know, and leaves. Finn thanks Anna for covering for him, but what happens to her if Jordan finds out she was withholding information?

Jason tells Elizabeth, the cameras were off for weeks before anyone made it to the subbasement. Anybody could have gone down there and not been seen. She says, that’s the point. Nobody goes down there. Most people don’t know the subbasement even exists. It’s not even on the hospital floorplans. He tells her to take him through what happened again; what she saw, not what Finn told her. Everything she remembers. She says she was worried about Finn, and we flash back to the scene as she talks. When she got to the 10th floor stairwell, she found Peter’s body. He was lying on the landing, bleeding from the back of the head. It was obvious he had fallen. She checked for a pulse, and couldn’t find one. She looked up and saw Finn standing in the doorway to the roof. Then he came down the stairs. Peter was dead. Finn couldn’t risk an investigation when Chase was critical, and that’s when she remembered the elevator on the roof that goes straight down to Helena’s lab. So they dragged Peter’s body up to the roof, and into the elevator, and down to the lab, and put him in the freezer. Then she went back to the stairwell to clean up the blood, and make it look like nothing ever happened. Jason asks if she’s sure she checked Peter’s pulse, and she says, yes. There was no pulse; he wasn’t breathing. He asks if Finn checked Peter’s pulse, and she says she thinks so. Honestly, she doesn’t know; she doesn’t remember. Why? Jason says, maybe he wasn’t dead, but she says, of course (🍷) he was dead. She and Finn know what dead looks like. He says, they were in a panic and rushed. Maybe they made a mistake. She asks if Jason thinks Peter climbed out of the freezer and just walked away, and he says, either that, or someone saw them, and took his body. She says she thinks Anna and Finn may have some answers. She’s calling Finn.

Anna tells Finn not to worry about her. The police believe Peter’s still alive, and with no body, there’s no evidence of a crime. Finn says, there’s blood, but she says, they can’t connect it to him. He says, so they’re just going to let them assume Peter is alive? and she says, they can’t be sure he’s not.

Gladys says, work at Deception? As a model, like Elizabeth Hurley? Sasha says she was thinking of something more administrative. They have an assistant position open. She’d be answering phones, helping with scheduling, answering emails… Gladys says, sounds tedious, and Sasha asks what Gladys thinks of when she thinks of Deception? Gladys says, glamour, the beauty, perfect women… Sasha says, and that’s what people will think of her when they find out she’s working for the company. They’ll know she has a glamorous job, dealing with beautiful people. They will be in awe of her, knowing she’s part of Deception’s world. Brando looks like he’s in awe of Sasha’s smooth talking, and Gladys asks if she can have free makeup; all the products. Sasha says, of course (🍷), and Gladys says, then she’ll take it, but the first person who asks her to make coffee… Sasha says, will be told to make their own coffee. Gladys laughs, and Brando smiles.

Carly tells Laura, when Michael was a baby, all she wanted was to marry Jason. Now she’s actually marrying him. She knows it’s the right thing for her family, and Laura asks why she sounds so unconvinced. Carly says, she’d like to think Sonny would approve, but wonders if it’s wishful thinking. Something she’s telling herself to feel better about moving on so soon after Sonny’s passing. Laura say she knows Sonny just adored Carly, and she knows Sonny would understand. In fact, she thinks he’d be grateful Jason is there to look after her.

Anna tells Finn, with no body, and a potential blood trail, they have to consider the possibility that Peter is still alive. He says, maybe she believes that because it might exonerate him, or at least reduce the charges, and she says, Finn put him in the freezer, and he’s not there. They have to figure out what happened to him. Finn wonders where they begin, and she says, that is the question of the hour. They divide and conquer. She’ll take the police, and he can find Elizabeth. She clearly wanted to say something to him when she interrupted their conversation. He starts leave, but stops and thanks her.

Elizabeth tells Jason, she and Finn have tortured themselves since this happened. Afraid to leave Peter’s body in the freezer, in case somebody finds it, but unable to move it. What if they’ve been worrying all this time for nothing? What if someone moved the body the minute they left the lab? He says, that’s the best thing that could happen. Peter’s gone. No body; nothing to cover up. It’s like nothing happened. There’s a knock at the door, and Finn says it’s him. Elizabeth opens the door, and Finn says, whoa, when he sees Jason. Elizabeth tells him that Jason knows everything, and Finn says, so does Anna. Elizabeth asks if they found the body. Did they move it? He says, there was no body. Nothing. It was empty. And the PCPD are investigating. She asks if they know, and he says, Anna covered for him. Jason asks, what about Elizabeth? and Finn says he left her out of it. No one knows she’s involved.    

Jordan tells Anna that she’s called in her top crime scene investigators and forensic specialists to investigate what happened down there. Anna asks, what about the K-9 unit? and Jordan says it was her first call. Dante joins them, and says, found something.

Gladys says she must prepare for her new life. Sasha won’t regret hiring her. She kisses Brando on the cheek, and says she’ll see Brando at home. She leaves, and Brando does a slow applaud, saying, bravo. Good work. Sasha deserves the gold medal for handling Gladys. It takes years of hard practice. Does she know what she got herself into? Sasha nods, and says, keeping his mother busy, and out of their lives. Now they can finally have some privacy before the baby comes. He says, before their lives explode in a million pieces of joy and dirty diapers. Sasha thinks the joy will outweigh the dirty diapers, and he says he’s counting on it.

As they get out of the pool (🍷), Josslyn asks what Trina is going to do about her mom and Curtis. Trina says, the first thing is keeping an eye on Curtis. If he’s not treating her mom right, he will know pain. Josslyn says she almost feels sorry for that man. Remind her not to get on Trina’s bad side. Trina says she can’t think of any situation where that might happen, and Josslyn says, same here.

Portia tells Curtis, no. They’re not having a fight. They’re having a disagreement, and it’s over. He says, fight or disagreement, he doesn’t want her mad at him. Trina’s anger was scary enough. She asks where he thinks Trina got it from. Does he want more wine? He says, that depends on her, and she suggests they save the wine until after he speaks with Jordan, and after their first official date. He asks what that date looks like, and she says, definitely dinner, some candlelight, a bit of soft music, and seeing where the night takes them from there.

Dante says he found more blood, and Jordan asks, how much? He says, if it’s Peter’s, he’s hurt really bad. She says, they’ll find out. She just told Anna that she’s throwing everything at this. Anna asks, what’s her first step? and Jordan says, finding the man on the roof with Peter.

Carly says she does think Sonny would approve of her marrying Jason, and Laura says, but it doesn’t make her miss him any less. Carly says, no, and Laura says, the thing about marriage is, it’s not a sprint. It’s definitely a long distance race, made up of a million different moments shared between two people, big and small. Personally, she thinks it’s a huge advantage to going into that with someone you already know and trust. She thinks over time, Jason will take more of Carly’s heart. That’s how it was for her and Doc. Carly puts her hand on Laura’s hand.   

Elizabeth thanks Finn for keeping her off Jordan’s radar, and he says, of course (🍷). He thinks Anna suspects someone helped him move the body, but she’s keeping quiet about it. The police believe Peter’s alive, so they have that working for them. Elizabeth asks what Jason thinks, and Jason says, as long as the cops don’t know they put the body in the freezer, he thinks they’re off the hook – for now.

Tomorrow, Nikolas tells Sam to stop looking for Hayden, unless she wants trouble; Trina asks if Josslyn is warning her away from Spencer; Spencer asks Ava if they can put the past behind them; and Valentin asks Anna why Finn needs protecting.

🏊‍♂️ All Hail the Pool…

Personally, I think the moss bowl deserves just as much love.

🚫 Not Her…

Regardless, I’m guessing Heather isn’t sad to see Kelly go.

💍 Finally, It Happened To Her…

I wish her well. Face it, she’ll never be a rocket scientist. As a matter-of-fact, I’m not so sure she could handle a job at Johnny Rocket’s.

It still bugs me out that his last name is Ravenell.

🧸 Tucking Myself In…

It’s been a stressful day, chasing a FedEx package and getting vaccinated. And so to bed. Okay, email, then bed. Until we cross paths again, stay safe, stay rolling with whatever your state mandates are, and stay not being petty, nasty, and dead wrong, like Gladys.

March 4, 2021 – Anna Tells Maxie and Finn the Truth, Summer House Is Still Awful, an Engagement, Covered In Clay, Jen Tells All, Wanda’s Grief, New Horror Story & Key’s Day

What I Watched Today

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

General Hospital

Chase asks Jackie if Violet is okay, and Jackie says, she fell asleep watching a movie. He thanks her for getting Violet out of there, and she says she could tell things were about to go south. What ended up happening? He says, apparently, Anna knew Peter wasn’t her son, and didn’t tell Finn. He’s sure it was hard for her, so he’s trying not to judge, but how can you plan on marrying somebody, and keep something so major from them?

Finn is looking out the window, when there’s a knock at the door. It’s Anna, who asks if she can come in. He steps aside, and she says she’s sure he has a lot of questions. He says, just one. What else is she lying about?

Maxie tells Peter, she’s getting nervous. Why hasn’t he answered her? He says because he can’t believe she still wants to marry him, and she says, of course (🍷) she does. Her love for him hasn’t changed just because his mother has. He asks if she’s sure; he doesn’t want her pity. She says, the one she pities is Obrecht. She was so determined to wreck their lives, she made enemies out of everyone. What Peter does have is her love, her respect, and her heart. She hopes she still has his. He says she does, and he will marry her. Obrecht tells Valentin, Peter isn’t who Maxie thinks he is. The pretense of morality and kindness is all a lie. He’s a manipulator who can’t be trusted. He mustn’t be allowed to go home to her grandson. She owes it to Nathan to keep James safe. She walks over to Dante, and takes out her pen. Britt asks what she’s doing, and Obrecht says, what must be done; Maxie and James must be protected. Valentin practically shouts, sorry, Maxie. He can’t allow this wedding to continue. Not until she knows who Peter truly is. Maxie makes an exasperated noise, and asks Peter what Valentin is talking about. Peter says he doesn’t know, and asks Valentin, what the hell is he talking about? Valentin says, this has gone on long enough. It’s time the truth was brought to light.

At the MetroCourt bar, Carly asks Jax if everything is all right. He says, yes… Nina’s not returning his calls. He thought he’d run into her downstairs, but she skipped out on Maxie’s wedding. Carly says, that’s one sacred ceremony she can’t desecrate, and he makes a face. She says she thinks she might know where Nina is, or rather who she’s with. He asks, who? and she says, Wiley.

Michael opens the door to Nina, and asks her to come in. She thanks him for inviting her over, and he says he’s glad she could make it on such short notice. She says, is he kidding? She would have jumped off an airplane mid-flight to be there. She’s grateful, and thanks him for giving her a chance to get to know her grandson and be in his life. It means the world to her.

On the phone, Franco leaves a message for Obrecht, saying, he checked himself into the MetroCourt, just for the night, until he can check himself into Shadybrook tomorrow. If she feels like breaking into a hotel, give him a call back. There’s a knock at the door, and Franco opens it to Elizabeth and Cameron. He asks what they’re doing there, and Elizabeth says he didn’t bring much stuff with him, so they brought a few things to make it feel like home. Franco says he would have managed, but Cameron says, it was his idea. He got upset, and stormed off. He didn’t have a chance to say goodbye.

Valentin says Maxie needs to listen to him, and Peter says she doesn’t. She says, everyone needs to just stop. It doesn’t matter to her who Peter’s mother is. It doesn’t change her love for him. Valentin says it doesn’t change the way he feels either. He’s not condemning Peter because Alex is his mother. Peter condemned Peter through the actions he’s taken, and the choices he’s made. Peter is a liar. His redemption is a lie. You can’t have redemption if you lack the capacity to acknowledge who you really are. Peter clearly doesn’t have the courage to do that, so he’ll do it for him. Everyone waits…

Jax says, it was generous of Michael to allow Nina to have a relationship with Wiley, and Carly asks if he’s surprised. He says, of course (🍷) not. He’s sure Nina appreciates it. Carly says, she’s sure too, and he asks if she thinks Michael is wrong. She says she thinks Wiley should get to know his grandmother, but she’s still furious at Nina. Her behavior was out of line at Sonny’s grave, and she’d tell Nina to her face, but that’s between her and Nina, not Wiley. But she’s worried about Nina spending too much time with Wiley right now, not once things have settled down, and Nina has faced her new reality. It’s been one shock piled on another. Even before Nina found out Nelle was her daughter, she made excuses for Nelle, painting her as not as guilty as she was. Jax says, trying to redeem Nelle’s memory, and she says, if Nina allows that to bleed onto Wiley, what is that going to do to that little boy?

Willow sees Nina, and says, that was fast. Nina tells her, the name Wiley put some pep in her step. Can she see him? Willow says he’s playing with blocks, and brings Nina into the living room. She says, look who’s here to visit him, and Michael asks if he remembers Nina, his grandmother. Wiley nods, and I’m telling you, that kid is going places.

Franco tells Cameron, enough with the goodbye stuff, and Elizabeth says, it’s a temporary arrangement until the issue with the tumor is resolved. Cameron says, and if they aren’t? and Franco says, those are the only two options, but Terry says while the tumor isn’t shrinking, it’s not growing either. That’s good news. Elizabeth says, very good. It gives them time to figure things out. Franco takes a phone out of the suitcase, and says, what’s this?

Jackie tells Chase, she knows he’s protective of his brother, and he should be, but try not to be too hard on him. Relationships are more complicated than anyone outside of them knows. Chase says he’s figuring that out. He’s sorry for not realizing how strained things were between her and Gregory. He had such an amazing childhood, and so many fun memories. That’s all he knew. She says, it’s all he should know. As a kid, of course, you want your parents to be perfect, and want your world to be secure, and that’s what your parents want for you too. But the truth is, we’re all making it up as we go along, and none of us is perfect. We’re doing the best we can, and sometimes it’s enough, but sometimes it’s not.  

Finn says, Anna knew since she got the lab results that Peter wasn’t her son? and she says, yeah. He says, and the plan was to never tell him? She says, there was no plan. When we found out the truth, we realized everything had to be contained. Finn says, we? and she says, her and Valentin. He says, so she trusted that little weasel more than she trusted him.

Peter says he doesn’t know why Valentin is doing this, but Valentin says, yeah, he does. Maxie asks if someone can get Valentin out of there, and Mac starts to move, but Robert stops him, and says he thinks Maxie should listen to Valentin. Peter says he thought Valentin cared about him all these years, and Valentin says he does. Peter is the man he is today because of the actions Valentin took. Don’t think that’s ever been lost on him. That’s why he promised to protect Peter from Jason, but he’s not going to allow Peter to hurt anyone else, definitely not Maxie.

Franco looks at the phone, and asks what phone it is; it’s three models ago. Cameron says Franco might want what’s on it. Franco said he was suffering some side effects of what Shiloh did. When he thought he was Drew, and they were about to do the procedure to bring him back, he asked for a phone to record something on. Elizabeth says, Drew left a video, the one Franco has put off watching for over a year. Cameron says he thought it might help Franco understand the voices he’s hearing, and Franco says, cool, thanks. Cameron says, he’s not going to listen? and Franco says he’d do anything to get Drew out of his head, and looks in the suitcase, wondering what else is in there.

Carly tells Jax, she’s worried Nina is going to tell Wiley her version of who Nelle was, and they know that version is a lie. He says, yes, but it’s not like they can have an open conversation about Nelle. She says, no kid that age should know their mother was insane and a killer, but he shouldn’t believe in a fantasy that’s only going to be shattered. What if when he gets old enough, he does research, and finds out on his own who Nelle was? Jax says, he’ll be devastated, and she says, that’s why she thinks, while he’s still young, they shouldn’t tell him much at all. When he asks, they’ll say Nelle was troubled and had problems; keep it vague. When he’s mature enough to understand, they can tell him that Nelle had a terrible and abusive childhood, and grew up to do terrible, abusive things. Jax says, and Carly doesn’t think Nina is in a place to understand and abide by that? and she says she knows Nina isn’t. But it’s Willow and Michael’s decision, and she has to honor that. She’s scared that their best intentions will turn out awful for Wiley.

Anna tells Finn, she knows how it looks. When everything happened with Jordan and Curtis, she was afraid they were headed down the same road. He says, it’s not the same. He knew what he was getting into when he fell in love with her. He knew certain parts of her life existed in the shadows, but he didn’t think she’d keep secrets from him, and confide in someone else. She says she’s sorry, but he says he doesn’t want an apology; he wants an explanation.

Maxie tells Valentin, this isn’t news to her. She’s aware Peter was coerced by Helena and Faison into kidnapping Drew. Valentin says, but Peter wasn’t an unwitting pawn. He was trying to double-cross his father with Helena’s help. Peter asks why Valentin is lying, and Valentin says, Helena wanted it done, and Peter orchestrated the whole thing, but it was a long time ago. The point is, Peter knew what he did was wrong, and in working to cover it up, he did something much worse in the process. Maxie says, like what? and Peter says, she knows Valentin is a liar. She says she needs to know what Valentin is accusing Peter of. What is this horrible act that was so much worse than anything else? Valentin says, Peter brought down Drew’s plane, and she asks if he’s saying Peter is responsible for murdering Drew. Valentin says, yes.

Sam heads toward Peter, but Robert holds her back. She says, you son of a bitch. She knew it. He killed Scout’s father. Maxie says, it can’t be true, and Obrecht says it’s why she was released. Peter framed her for his crimes. Robert says he suspected as much, and Maxie says, because Robert hates Peter. Peter says, this is absurd, and suggests he and Maxie get out of there, but Mac says he’s not taking Maxie anywhere. Valentin says, first, Drew’s plane went down, and looks at Sam and asks, then what happened? Sam says she was kidnapped by Shiloh, and Valentin says, Shiloh knew Peter was responsible for Drew’s kidnapping. That’s why Peter arranged Shiloh’s escape, and was on the pier with a bag of money. He wasn’t buying an apartment; he was paying Shiloh off. Covering up one crime by committing a worse one in the process.

Franco asks Cameron if he’s going to be buying sunscreen and visors to visit him in California, and Cameron says, no one wears visors. Franco says he loves a visor. Lots of people like them. Cameron isn’t answering his question. Cameron tells Franco, remember when he said he wanted less Drew inside his head? and Franco says, oh, he gets it. Cameron doesn’t want to be pestered about college. Cameron says he catches on fast; good for him. Franco says he’s super smart; everyone says so. Elizabeth’s phone dings, and she says, it’s the hospital. She has to go in. Cameron says he’ll hang out for a few minutes, and meet her back at home, but Franco says, it’s not safe for Cameron to stay there.

Jax says he knows Carly is in a different headspace where Nina is concerned, but he feels terrible. They made a huge mistake in not telling Nina that Nelle was her daughter, and a bigger mistake forgetting Wiley was her grandson. She says, not on purpose, and he says, that doesn’t make right. They don’t get to decide if Nina gets to have a relationship with Wiley. She says she agrees 100%, and he says, it’s actually a blessing… Hear him out. Nina gets to have  a relationship with her grandson without Nelle around. Even though she might not realize it, it’s the best thing for Wiley. Carly says, amen to that, and he says he knows he doesn’t get a say, but Carly is right. He doesn’t think Nina is capable of seeing Nelle for who she was. Nina sees her as a victim. Carly says, that’s the picture Nina will paint, Nelle the way she wanted her to be, and Jax says, that’s okay now, but it would be sad if it was a pattern that got laid down. Without realizing it, Nina could inflict pain and grief on her grandson. I guess these two still haven’t learned not to make decisions for other people.    

Wiley smashes whatever he was building with his monster truck, and Michael tells Nina, Wiley is in a phase where all the building part is just a means is total destruction. Nina says Nathan was like that. He’d have her spend hours constructing a huge tower, just to have him take it out like Godzilla. Michael looks at his phone, and says, stuff is going down at Aurora. He’ll be back. Willow asks Wiley if mommy can help him build.   

Jackie tells Chase that she and Gregory were happy for a long time. She doesn’t want him thinking he grew up in a lie. For three decades she had the most wonderful family, including an amazing son. He says, go on, and she says she could, for hours. He still brings her that joy. She wouldn’t give up the years with him or his father for anything. There were times when she and his dad were on their own tracks; when tracking a story was too tempting not to go after. Maybe she shouldn’t have. Looking back, there are a thousand things she wishes she’d done differently, but it’s just… Chase says, life, and she says, yeah. Life.

Anan tells Finn that Valentin came to her, and told her that Peter was way more culpable in Jason and Drew’s kidnapping than he’d admitted, and he’d gone to great lengths to cover it up. Meaning, that he’d had Drew’s plane sabotaged, and arranged for the assassin to kill Andre and Franco. Finn asks when she found this out, and she says, a couple of days ago. She realized she could no longer be in denial about Peter’s guilt, and pretend his redemption was anything other than a show. They decided Peter couldn’t marry Maxie… Finn says, so they had Peter abducted on his wedding day. She says, yeah, but she did this with Valentin not because she trusts him more than Finn, but because he understands the complexities of her relationship with Peter. Finn says, and he doesn’t? and she says, Valentin had the same relationship with him. She didn’t want Finn anywhere near this. He’s such a good man, she just didn’t want him to be part of the whole tragic, sordid mess. He thanks her for making the decision for him, and she says she knows he’s angry. She doesn’t blame him, but she can assure him that she didn’t know any of this. She didn’t want to accept how bad Peter really was. She starts to cry, and says, it’s not an excuse. It’s the truth. He says, because of her, he allowed his daughter to be around a murderer, and she says she would never let Violet be in any danger. He says, because of her, the wedding Violet thought she was going to be a part of, was never actually going to happen, because she was too busy playing spy games with Valentin. She says, it happened so fast, there was no time to tell him. He asks if he was really that much of an afterthought.

Willow asks if Wiley thinks he can build the tallest skyscraper ever. Show mommy. Nina says, maybe he’ll grow up to be an architect, and Willow says, may be. It’s kind of wild for her and Nina to be part of the same family, playing games together. Nina says, they’ve come a long way, and Willow says, they’re both in a better place. She certainly is. Nothing can make up for losing a child, but it meant so much for Michael to say he wanted her to stay in Wiley’s life. Nina says, not just stay, but legally adopt. After all that heartache, she’s still Wiley’s mom. The doorbell rings, and Willow opens the door to Carly, who trots in. She says she was texting with Michael, and he said Nina was coming by. How’s it going? Willow says, great. She thinks it will be good for both Nina and Wiley. In the living room, Nina tells Wiley that she’s his grandma, like Grandma Carly, but she’s not his mommy’s mommy. That’s not how they’re related. Wiley laughs, probably because he has no clue what anyone is saying, but it’s fun to build and smash stuff.

Cameron tries to argue, but Elizabeth says she can’t get into it now; she has to get to work. Cameron says, go. He’ll be fine for a few minutes. Franco says his mom is right. He woke from a nightmare, and attacked Cameron. Cameron says, that’s such an exaggeration, and Franco says his head’s not right. Cameron says he can’t believe this. Fine. Is Elizabeth coming with him, or is it okay for her to be there alone with Franco? Elizabeth says she’ll be there in a minute; she’ll meet him in the lobby. Franco tells Cameron, wait, and thanks him for bringing the stuff. He’ll see Cameron in a little bit. Cameron leaves, and Franco tells Elizabeth that she shouldn’t be there. If he’s a potential threat to Cameron, he’s a potential threat to her.  

Robert says he knows it’s painful, but it makes sense, and Maxie says, except for one thing. Anna knew all this? Valentin says, she did, and Maxie says, Anna would never do that to her. Anna loves her, and she knows Anna would never let that happen. If what Valentin is saying is true, Anna would have told her.

Anna tells Finn that she was wrong; she knows that. She just couldn’t see her way out, which makes her no different than Peter. She was selling him on a lie that she was sharing her life with him, and she wasn’t. She thought she was protecting him, but she was really just protecting herself, trying to avoid this moment. He phone rings, and Finn says, don’t answer. She says, it’s Robert. It’s going to be about Peter and Maxie. She asks Robert, what is it? and he tells her, get down here right now. All the information she and Valentin have been hiding is going to hit the fan. He doesn’t know how Peter is going to react if he’s pushed in a corner. She says she understands, and Finn asks if she needs to go. Anna says she wants to work this out, and he says, she has other properties. She says she’s so sorry; she really is. Finn says, so is he, and she leaves.

Jackie tells Chase, everything will be okay. He’s seen her and Gregory. It’s not like they can’t be in the same room; just the opposite. He says, it’s weirdly cordial, and she says they have too much mutual respect for it not to be. He says, it’s getting late. Does she think he should take Violet? She says, probably. She’d love for Violet to stay there, but she’s still practically a stranger. Violet will be more comfortable with him. He says he’ll get her, and she says she loves him. He says he loves her too.

Maxie tells Peter, she’s right, isn’t she? Everything Valentin is saying is a lie. Peter says, of course (🍷) it is. Valentin is the man who lied to Nina for years, and literally trades in secrets. He doesn’t know what game Valentin is playing – Valentin says, no game – but all that matters is he loves her. She has no reason to believe Valentin. Anna appears, and says Maxie has every reason to believe her though.

Willow brings Carly into the living room, and says, how lucky is Wiley? Two grandmothers in one night. Carly asks Wiley for a hug, and says, it’s so good to see him. Is he having fun with Nina? He says, yeah, and Willow suggests Wiley get in his PJs. Then he can come down and play afterward. She takes Wiley upstairs, and Nina asks if Carly is checking up on her. Carly says, no… Actually… Well… she wants to acknowledge that she may have been too blunt. Nina says, that doesn’t sound like an apology, and Carly says, it wasn’t. They both have good reason not to trust each other, but she assumes they both want what’s best for Wiley. Nina says, yes, and Carly suggests they just leave at that.

Franco says it’s not just that he’s being honest with Elizabeth, but he’s being honest with himself. There’s a realistic possibility that these violent outbursts – she says, just oneare going to get worse. She says he sounds like Jason, and he says, Jason’s not wrong. She says, yes he is when it comes to Franco. Jason doesn’t know him like she does; he doesn’t know them. She tells him that she’s scared, and he asks her to come over to him. She sits next to him on the bed, and he holds her. She says she wants to make things perfectly clear; she’ll never give up on him. It doesn’t matter how dark things get, or how dismal things are, she’ll always be his champion. Not just because of what he does for her, but because she loves him. Nothing will ever change that. Nothing. He says, okay. Good enough. He hands Elizabeth her phone, and she says she’ll call him later. She leaves, and he looks at the phone Cameron brought. 

Anna tells Maxie, everything Valentin said is true. Obrecht says, let her guess. Anna has known Peter was guilty the whole time, and allowed her to rot… Anna says, get this woman out of her face or she’ll lose her mind, and Obrecht says Anna’s mind isn’t the only thing she’s about to lose. Valentin drags Obrecht out, still talking, and Anna tells Maxie that she’s sorry. Maxie says, no, because if it was true Peter did those horrible things and Anna knew, Anna would have told her. Anna says she didn’t know until recently. She had her doubts, but she thought she was being paranoid. She thought Peter had changed, but he hadn’t. Maxie asks, when did she have doubts? For how long? Anna says, really too long. She’s sorry. Everyone looks like they’re either pissed off or going to cry. Or both.

Nina picks up her coat, and Michael asks if she’s heading out. Nina says, it’s getting crowd… late. She thanks him for inviting her. Willow comes back with Wiley, and Nina says, perfect timing. She picks Wiley up, and says it was wonderful spending time with him. Willow says, just ten more minutes, and then straight up to bed, and Nina thanks them for thinking of her. Carly asks if Willow is okay, and Willow tells her, Wiley just said she’s not his real mommy. Carly looks at Nina. Okay, my suspension of disbelief is lacking here. Wiley is cute and smart, but there’s no way he got that from what Nina said. I don’t even think he could form that kind of sentence yet.

There’s a knock at Jackie’s door, and she asks if Violet forget something, but it’s Finn.

Franco sits on the floor, and leans against the bed. He looks at the phone, and presses play. He appears on the screen, and says, hi, Franco; it’s Andy. He needs to tell Franco a few things.  

At the MetroCourt bar, Valentin thanks Obrecht for interrupting the wedding. If she hadn’t, he would have had to. She says she’s shocked that he abandoned Peter at the end, but he says he didn’t have a choice.  Anna was willing to go through with it, but if Maxie had married Peter, she would have never been able to live with herself. She says, his devotion to the scarecrow is annoying at best, but this time, it worked to her advantage. And Maxie’s. At least now, she’ll finally be free of Peter. He says, let’s hope so.   

Anna tells Maxie, she knew last year Peter was closely associated with the company who sent the assassin, the man who made the attempt on Andre and Franco’s lives. Peter says he stopped the attack, and she says, amazing that he happened to be there at just that moment. He says, it was luck, and she tells him, just stop. He knew the assassin was there, because he hired the assassin to be there. She tells Maxie that she chose to cover up the connection because she didn’t believe it, for the same reason Maxie doesn’t believe it. She can’t bear the fact that Peter is guilty, but he is. He confessed everything to Valentin. Valentin told her, and she confronted Peter. Peter says they’re both lying. They’re in this together. Anna says, no. She confronted Peter, and gave him every opportunity to tell the truth, but he didn’t; he lied. It made her realize that he will always lie. She doesn’t think it’s his fault, but the man Maxie loves just never existed. Peter says, enough of this. He tells Maxie, let’s get out of here; he’ll explain everything. Mac says, the hell he will, calls Peter a son of a bitch, and punches him in the face.

Maxie sits down, breathing heavily, and Britt and Sam rush over to her. Maxie says, the baby, and Britt says, just breathe. Maxie glares at Peter.  

Tomorrow, Carly asks Nina if she thinks it’s a good idea, Jackie asks Finn if he can get past it, Peter asks if he’s being arrested, and Dante asks Sam if she’s going to tell Jason what happened.

🏖 Since I had the time, I actually paid attention to Summer House. Carl found out his brother had died from an overdose. I have to admit, although I don’t like these people (with the exception of Hannah, who I think is just young), Carl is the most mature of the bunch, and actually seems to be working on himself as a person. Of course, no good deed goes unpunished, so all this has gotten him so far is being the designated watcher, since no one is driving anywhere. These are the last people I’d want to go through a tragedy with. Or a victory. Or anything for that matter. Amanda and Hannah compared notes on who attacked who first, and it was all, no, you. Hannah was the clear winner, since Amanda had thrown a glass at her. Sticks and stones may break your bones, but a wine glass could take an eye out. The guys scattered, while the girls all listened in. This was really nice too, considering Carl was trying to keep it together. Kyle tried to turn everyone against Hannah, saying she was out of control, but again, insulting someone vs throwing an object at them that’s not a pillow? The majority couldn’t give a flying, as long as they weren’t in the line of fire. No surprise, Carl couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

As I’m typing this, I realize nothing really ever happens on this show. And this season, they’re even working from home, but still nothing. Ciara still seems pretty sane, but give her time. She tried to explain to Luke that, relationship or not, he should have treated Hannah with more respect. Ergo, she wasn’t interested in more than friendship with him. For Lindsay’s birthday, Stephen got food from the restaurant where he’d asked her to be his girlfriend. He set up a fish and chips dinner outside, and I thought that was pretty romantic, but she told him that she had higher expectations than just going through the motions. I guess she wanted to be wined and dined in the middle of quarantine? They argued, and Stephen split in an Uber. I don’t know if I was missing something, but it seemed like Lindsay just wanted to start sh*t, and then was shocked when Stephen left. Hannah thought she should order some sage for the house, and Kyle said it was the worst day of all time.

Next time, Lindsay says there’s no coming back from it; Hannah says Kyle thinks he’s boss of the house, but he isn’t; and Kyle gets whacked in the balls with a croquet ball.

💍 Officially Moved On…

It no longer matters what zone she’s in with Luke.
