What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Josslyn knocks on Jason’s door, and he invites her in. She says, it’s late, and she hopes it’s okay that she’s here. He says, of course (🍷), and she says she just really needs to talk to someone. He asks if everything is okay, and she says she did something she really regrets and thinks he’s the only person who will understand.
Sam shows up at the hatchet range, where the festivities have wound down, and she tells Dante that she’s sorry she’s late. Something came up. Jason won’t listen to her, and Danny won’t listen to her either.
Anna asks if Dex is having second thoughts, and he says, about coming tonight? Maybe. It was really nice of Chase to invite him, but it might have been a mistake taking him up on it. She says, the cops got to him, didn’t they? and he says he tried to shrug it off, but yeah. He thinks they both might have underestimated how tough it’s going to be for him at the academy and the department, if he even gets in. She asks if he’s thinking of giving up.
Kristina shows up at TJ and Molly’s apartment, and Molly asks, what’s wrong?
In the nook, Tracy asks Lois what she thinks would happen if a piece of loot accidentally made it into the decorations bag, and Lois says, all hell would break loose. Liv and her labeling gene. She gets it from her grandmother. Old Mrs. Falconari used to label everything. She’s surprised this kitchen isn’t labeled. Refrigerator, fruit bowl, Tracy. They laugh, and Brook says, it can be a bit much sometimes, but how cute is it that she labeled Brook’s gifts loot. She thanks Lois again and says she was half-dreading her bridal shower-slash-bachelorette party and it turned out to be such a great night. Lois says, anything for her girl, and Tracy says, it was a great party. But some of her friends can’t hold their liquor. Brook says, not like you, huh granny? and Tracy says, on that note, she’s going to bed. They say goodnight and Tracy leaves. Brook says, tonight really was a blast. She just wants to call Chase and tell him all about it, but she doesn’t want to interrupt his party or wake him if he’s already home.
Finn and Chase approach Finn’s apartment, and Finn says, the sitter had to leave 20 minutes ago. He hopes dad and Violet are already asleep. Finn opens the door, and Violet runs to him, saying, he’s got to help grandpa. Gregory lies on the couch wearing an oxygen mask.
Jordan nearly gets a bullseye, and at a table, Sam tells Dante that she told Danny not to visit his father, and what does he do? Straight from school, he goes to see his father. She told Jason, please stay away from Danny, and he spends time with Danny anyway. Dante says, it’s frustrating, but maybe just take a breath. She does, and says, Jason seems like this stand-up, solid guy, but he broke her heart twice by falling off the face of the earth. The first time, she knows it wasn’t his choice, but the second time… She keeps asking him what happened, and he refuses to explain it to her. That’s hard enough for her as an adult to process that, but Danny is a kid, and he would be devastated if Jason disappeared again. Dante says, it’s a difficult situation. He’s not saying she’s doing anything wrong, but she doesn’t want Danny thinking he’s doing something wrong by wanting to have a relationship with his dad, right? She says, that’s not what she’s doing… is she?
Kristina tells Molly that she was at Brook’s bridal shower, and she was having a great time. Then Josslyn comes along and starts blatantly lying about her dad. Molly says, lying, and Kristina says, Josslyn was upset because she and Dex broke up and she blames Kristina’s dad. Of course (🍷), because she blames him for everything. Molly asks, what exactly did Josslyn say? and Kristina tells her, Josslyn said that her dad ordered Dex to kill Cyrus Renault when he was beaten up and in the hospital. Molly says, that is totally inappropriate for Josslyn to do, especially at Brook’s bridal shower, and Kristina says she knows. Molly says, but Sonny doesn’t have a reputation for no reason, and Kristina says she’s not naïve. She knows who her dad is. But to order Dex to kill Cyrus, a broken-down old man, when he’s in the hospital? He wouldn’t do that. There’s no way.
Josslyn tells Jason that she couldn’t help herself. She just came right out to Kristina and told her that her beloved father sent Dex to kill Cyrus. That shut her up quick. She drinks some water, and Jason tells her, drink the whole thing. She says she realizes he probably doesn’t know Dex, but she figured Jason had heard his name. Anyway, they’re very complicated. Jason says he and Dex haven’t met, but her mom told him a little bit about Dex. She asks if her mom told him that Dex risked his life protecting Sonny and then Sonny decided he was a traitor and turned on him. Dex is not the kind of guy who would kill someone for money, but Sonny had him so screwed up, he actually considered finishing killing a man that Sonny had already beaten half to death. He says, that’s Dex’s decision. Nobody else can make that for him. She says, it’s not Dex’s decision. It’s Sonny’s orders. And that’s been her problem with Kristina, because every time she sees Kristina, she’s out defending him or saying he can’t do anything wrong. She’s just sick of it. She can’t understand why Kristina can’t see him for what he really is. How could she be that blind? He says he thinks because most people want to see their parents in a good light, and maybe Josslyn isn’t seeing Sonny clearly right now.
Chase calls the paramedics and says his father has ALS. He’s having trouble breathing. They have a home ventilator and he’s awake, but he’s not moving. Finn asks Violet if she can tell him what happened, and Violet says, they were playing a game and that’s when he started breathing funny. He told her to go get his machine from his bedroom because he couldn’t get up. Finn says, she did great. He’s so proud of her. He tells Gregory that it’s going to be okay. He’s going to ask Gregory a few questions. If Gregory can hear him, blink once for yes, twice for no. Is he in any pain? Gregory blinks twice, and Finn says, good. He knew something was wrong and that’s why he had Violet go get his oxygen, right? Gregory blinks once, and Finn asks Violet if grandpa has been like this for a while, or did this just happen? Music is playing, and she says she thinks it’s been three songs. Is grandpa going to be okay? Finn says he knows she’s scared, but there’s nothing to be scared about. Grandpa’s going to be fine. This happens sometimes with people who have ALS. Chase says, she was so brave. Why didn’t she call her dad when she saw this happen? She says she was going to, but she got so busy helping grandpa with his machine, and Chase says, it’s okay. Finn asks if Gregory can move his arms or legs.
Brook tells Lois to put the seating chart away and go to sleep. She’s gone over it a million times. It’s perfect. Lois says, it was perfect until she found out Brook’s Cousin Angela and her Aunt Patty are fighting again. She has to separate the two of them. Otherwise, there will be a nasty, cake flinging incident, possibly anyway. That’s her story. Why is Brook still up? Brook says she’s just too excited. She’s going to have full-blown insomnia by the time the wedding comes. What was it like for Lois and her dad? Lois says, as Brook knows, she lives in a permanent state of excitement of course (🍷), but she was exactly like Brook. Although their situations were a little different. She loved her wedding, and she will always love Brook’s father, but – she sighs – their situation was different from Brook and Chase. Brook asks what she means, and Lois says, being truthful and keeping promises aren’t necessarily the Quartermaines strongest suits. Present company excluded of course (🍷). Brook says, of course (🍷), and Lois says, but Harrison Chase is a different story altogether. If she could have chosen the perfect husband for Brook – and she wanted to do that many times over the years – she would have picked a man exactly like Chase. He’s sweet and he’s gorgeous. He’s smart and he protects and serves. She doesn’t know if Brook has noticed yet or not, but he has this beautiful, nice beard going on that not every man can pull off. Brook says she’s noticed and agrees. The beard is so good. Brook hugs Lois, and Lois asks, what was that for? Brook says she loves Lois and she’s really glad Lois is here, and Lois says, her too.
Finn asks, how’s Violet? and Chase says, she’s scared, but she was also exhausted, and she went to sleep. How’s dad? Finn says, the ventilator is doing its job. Dad’s breathing is good. The paramedics will be here any minute. He tells Gregory to close his eyes and rest if he wants to. They’ve got him. Chase gestures for Finn to step aside with him and asks if dad is going to be admitted to the hospital. Finn says he doesn’t know, but he thinks so, and Chase wonders what they’re supposed to do. They can’t get married next week if dad is paralyzed in the hospital. Finn says, that’s really between him and Brook. Right now, all he can think about is getting dad the help he needs and trying to comfort Violet. Chase wonders, where the hell are these paramedics?
Josslyn asks if Jason thinks she’s a terrible person for saying what she said, but he says, no. She’s not a terrible person. She says she’s not so sure (me neither). Maybe her mom was right about her. He says, her mom is right about a lot of things, but not everything. What did she say? Josslyn says she went off about Sonny, and she went on about how she didn’t understand how her mom could possibly support him after everything. And her mom told her that all of this hatred she had for Sonny is just poisoning her, and all of this anger she has is just hurting her. He asks if Josslyn thinks she’s right, and she says she didn’t at the time, but after tonight, she thinks her mom has a point. She should have never said that to Kristina. And the look on her face. It just proved to Josslyn that she can also be very cruel sometimes. (No kidding. She can be like a mean girl.)
Dex says he knows the academy will be difficult, if he even gets in, and Anna says, come on. He knows he aced the test. He says he didn’t want to presume, and she tells him to go ahead and presume. How does he think he’ll do? He says he plans to work and train and study as hard as possible. He’ll do whatever it takes to graduate. He just hadn’t taken into account how much the other officers might have toward him because he worked for Sonny. There were officers tonight who would clearly turn their backs on him. They don’t want him to join their ranks. Anna says she’s sorry that happened, but he says he doesn’t blame them. Sonny is a mob boss and he protected him. The other cops are wondering what his angle is here. He was just in this position with Sonny, and he’s in no rush to put himself back in a position where he’s constantly suspected and being undermined by the people around him. She says, got it. Trust is very important on the force. Your life, quite literally, is in your partner’s hands. He says, so she agrees this is going to be a problem, and she says, yeah. He asks if she’s changed her mind about him joining the PCPD. Should he just give up and forget about it? She says, absolutely not. She never said becoming a cop was going to be easy, but it is certainly worth it.
Lois says, all fixed. There will be no cake flinging on her watch. Tracy comes in, ready for bed and looking at her phone. She says she was just looking at the photographs from the shower. Who knew that Willow could dance like that? She was always the shy one. Brook asks if no one is asleep in this house, and Tracy says she’s parched and needs to hydrate first. And Olivia said Ned was already in bed when they got home. Lois says, that doesn’t surprise her. Men don’t know how to have fun at a party without shooting something or setting it on fire. Brook says she’s so glad she’s a woman, and Tracy says she thinks she might need a glass of warm milk to help her sleep… or maybe a glass of schnaps. She picks up the bottle, and Brook says she doesn’t think schnaps is considered hydrating. Tracy says, yeah, but it’s considered really fun, when Lois’s phone chimes. Tracy wonders who that could be at this hour, and Lois says, it’s Chase. He says he’s been trying to reach Brook, but she hasn’t been answering her phone and he wants her to wake Brook up because he’s on his way over right now. Brook says, what? She left her phone upstairs. If he’s coming over this late, it must mean something’s really wrong.
One of the paramedics says, they’ll take it from here, and Chase says he’s going to wait and see what they say. Then he’s going to go talk to Brook. As the paramedics tend to him, Gregory says he’s getting his feeling back, and Finn tells him, be careful. Don’t push it. Gregory takes the mask off and says he’s okay. He doesn’t know what just happened, but it feels like it’s passing now. Chase says, that’s great, and Finn says he’s glad Gregory is feeling better, but the paramedics are going to take him to GH. He needs to be checked out. Gregory says, absolutely not. What is the ER doctor going to tell him that he doesn’t already know?
As Kristina eats ice cream, Molly asks if she’s feeling a bit better at least, but Kristina says, no. Honestly, she just keeps thinking about what Josslyn said, and it’s making her more and more upset. It’s common knowledge that her dad beat up Cyrus Renault on New Year’s Eve, but that was an extenuating circumstance and Cyrus is no angel. Molly says, Cyrus is definitely not a great guy, but Sonny shouldn’t have attacked him. Kristina says, of course (🍷) not. No one deserves that, not even Cyrus. She knows that. Molly says she’s glad, and Kristina says, but it was a really bad night for her dad. He’d just found out Nina had lied to him, and he was completely reeling from that, so Cyrus must have done or said something terrible to provoke her dad to attack him. And Cyrus clearly knows that because he’s not pressing charges. Molly says, that’s definitely a possibility, and Kristina says she knows her dad has a temper, but Josslyn’s not right about this. Her dad would never order Dex to kill Cyrus while he was in the hospital. He just wouldn’t do that. Molly knows that, right?
Drew tells Jordan that hatchet throws were invented in Canada by two friends who got really drunk and bet which of them would be better at it. She says, that sounds completely made up, but he says, it’s true, and gets out his phone. She sees a photo of Scout and says, that’s a cute picture. She’s adorable. Drew says he agrees. He’s biased, but she’s amazing. He loves her more than anything else in the world. Jordan asks if she can confess something, and he says, please do. Hatchet throwing is a safe space. She says she’s secretly hoping TJ and Molly’s baby is a girl because she wants to buy a ridiculous amount of dresses for her. He says he doesn’t want her to take this the wrong way, but he doesn’t see it, and she says, see what? He says, her as a grandmother. She’s way too young and vibrant for that word. She laughs and says, bless you.
Sam tells Dante that she knows that Danny was having problems before Jason came back, and she understands that happens with kids his age, but she was hoping things would get better. And now it’s like Danny can refuse to play by her rules because he has somewhere to go and someone to complain to about them. Dante asks if she thinks Jason would encourage that kind of thing, and she says, all she knows is, it’s too dangerous for Danny to be around his father right now. It’s why she and Jason broke up in the first place. She wanted to keep her kids physically and emotionally safe. She won’t allow the danger that follows Jason back into their life and their home.
Josslyn tells Jason that she wanted to say what she said to Kristina tonight for so long. It’s been on the tip of her tongue for months. But the second she said it and saw the look on Kristina’s face, she realized she’s not mad at Kristina. She’s mad at Sonny and he’s not going to listen to her, and he doesn’t care what she thinks. Jason says, Dex isn’t working for Sonny anymore, right? and she says, no. He’s going in the opposite direction and he’s becoming a cop. Jason says, Dex is becoming a cop, and Josslyn says, he applied to the PCPD academy. She knows she should just be happy for him and be happy he’s going legit and going to be on the right side of the law this time, but all she can think about is Sonny’s reaction. And she went to Anna and told her how angry Sonny’s going to be and to not let Dex into the academy, but Anna wouldn’t listen to her. He says, yeah. Sonny can definitely see Dex becoming a cop as a threat to him. She says, he absolutely will and she’s terrified. She still loves Dex and she’s going to grieve him for the rest of her life if Sonny has him killed.
Anna tells Dex that a similar thing happened to her recently when she was reinstated as Commissioner. Some of the officers weren’t all that happy with her past and they let her know it. They made comments and some work was slow washed. She has to say, it wasn’t pleasant. Dex says he had no idea. He’s sorry. She says, it’s not like she didn’t expect it. In all fairness, they had every reason to doubt her. He says, they all seem to respect her now. How did she get them to change their minds? She says she had to prove herself. She had to show them that she wanted the exact same thing they do, to protect and serve. And she shows them every single day. She has every confidence he’ll be able to do the same and he’ll succeed in winning over his fellow officers. He says he appreciates her faith, and she says she originally wanted him in her department because of what he knows about Sonny and his organization. But she has to say, she’s very impressed with his commitment, and now she just sees a good man who will make a great officer. He says, it really means a lot having her in his corner, and she says, unfortunately, it’s not going to do him any good when Detective Bennet gets ahold of him over at the police academy.
Finn says, look who woke up and wanted to see how much better Gregory was doing, and Violet runs to Gregory. She sits next to him, hugs him, and says she’s so glad he’s better. He says, thanks to her. She was so brave getting his machine for him and helping him put it on. She says she was really scared, and he says he’s sorry. He didn’t mean to frighten her. But she didn’t panic. She did everything exactly right. She should be so proud of herself for being such a smart girl. She says she loves him, and he says he loves her too, kissing the top of her head. Finn says he thinks it’s time for a certain young lady to get to bed, and Violet says, okay. She tells Gregory goodnight, and he says he’ll see her in the morning. She says goodnight to Finn and goes back to her room. Finn sits next to Gregory and asks if he’s feeling normal in his limbs. Gregory says he can’t let anything like this happen again. He won’t put Violet through that, and Finn says, she’s okay. She feels better now that she’s seen he’s better. Gregory says, maybe so, but he saw the panic in her eyes when they were alone. He’s just not going to be responsible for doing that to her again. Finn says, they’ll talk about it some more in the morning, and Gregory says, good. Where did Chase go?
Kristina tells Molly that her dad has done a lot of good, and she’s sick and tired of people constantly attacking him. Molly says, it’s just Josslyn. Kristina knows she hates Sonny. She and Josslyn have fought about her dad before. So the terrible things she said couldn’t have been that much of a surprise. Kristina says she guesses not, and Molly says, and Josslyn is not in a position of authority. All she can do is talk. She knows it’s hard, but try not to let Josslyn get to her so much. Kristina says she can’t. Josslyn went too far this time. Her dad protects his territory. He defends himself. He defends Port Charles. He doesn’t go after innocent people without provocation. That is not who her dad is.
Chase tells Tracy that his dad’s ALS symptoms have been getting worse, but this was by far the scariest health crisis. He tells Brook that he doesn’t see how he’s going to be able to officiate their wedding, and Brook says, that’s okay. They’ll figure out who else can do it and go from there. Lois says, the way she sees it, they have two options. They can find another officiant. She can call Father Tom at St. Anthony’s, see if he can fly up, or they can talk to the pastor here. Or they cancel the wedding… Tracy says, don’t be ridiculous. First of all, another officiant should be a last resort, and there will be no canceling of this wedding. They didn’t take Gregory to the hospital because they didn’t think it was necessary. He’s going to be fine the day of the wedding. And you can’t cut the man out of officiating at his own son’s wedding without talking to him first and getting his prognosis.
Jordan tells Drew that she didn’t know what to expect when she heard where this party was taking place, but she had fun tonight. He says, him too. He’s got to be honest; he was kind of dreading coming to a bachelor party because it’s not where his head is right now. But it is kind of fun to remember the nice perks of love and celebrate that. Jordan says, Chase is so happy. He practically glows when he talks about Brook. Drew says, she’s the same way when she talks about him. He can genuinely appreciate the reminder of the excitement that happens in a relationship before somebody gets their heart broken. She says, he was so close to saying something positive. She knows it’s hard right now, but he’ll get there eventually.
Dante tells Sam that he thinks he can understand a little bit about where Danny’s coming from, growing up without a dad. He had uncles and they all tried to do dad stuff with him, but it wasn’t the same. Then all he wanted was to know his dad and have his dad know him and be proud of him. Sam says she’s glad he and Sonny were able to make up for lost time, but the situations just aren’t the same. (Oh, really? Don’t we keep hearing how dangerous Sonny is?) He says, that may be the case, but Danny’s not a kid anymore. He’s going to form his own opinion about Jason. Unless she thinks Jason would manipulate Danny. She says, Jason is a lot of things, but manipulative isn’t one of them.
Jason tells Josslyn that he’s not close to Sonny anymore and can’t predict what he’s going to do. She thanks him for not telling her that she’s being too hard on Sonny, that she should be grateful for Sonny, and he thinks of her like his own daughter. Because if she hears that anymore, she’s going to scream. He says, she gets to feel what she feels, and she asks how he feels. Doesn’t it hurt him at how quickly Sonny was to believe he was the one who shot Dante? Does Jason hate Sonny for turning on him so quickly? Jason says, no, he doesn’t hate Sonny, and she says, that’s what she doesn’t understand. Because he treated Jason so badly and he should have known Jason wouldn’t hurt Dante. And Sonny’s always preaching about loyalty, yet he showed no loyalty to Jason. Doesn’t that make him angry? Jason says, Sonny’s never been a perfect person, but he’s changed. How he’s acting right now isn’t how he would have acted before. (Yeah, good point. Since this has happened at least twice before that I recall, how come nobody is immediately thinking about Sonny’s mental health?)
Brook says, they all want the wedding to go on as planned, but they have to be ready to adjust. So she’ll call the florist and the caterers in the morning and see what their options are in case Chase’s dad is too sick and they have to cancel the wedding. Lois says she can help, and Chase thanks her. He knows this is the last thing they were expecting tonight. Brook says, him either, when Tracy’s phone rings. She says, it’s Gregory, and asks if he’s all right. He says he is. He had a little episode earlier tonight, but he’s okay now. She says she’s so glad to hear that, and he thanks her. He says he knows his son is there, and she says, he’s right here. Does Gregory want to talk to him? Gregory says, actually, no. He wants her to tell Chase something for him. She says, okay, and he says he’s sure Chase and Brook are thinking about canceling the wedding – Finn listens in – but he wants her to tell them that he won’t stand for it.
Kristina tells Molly that she realizes her dad has been off lately, but that’s only because he’s so heartbroken about Nina. And he’s still trying to wrap his head around Jason coming back and the way Jason came back. It was so strange. And on top of that, he has Ava living in his penthouse saying God knows what to him. Molly says she’s sure it helps to have Kristina. He knows how much she loves and supports him. Kristina says, thanks. She hopes so. She gets up and says she needs to get home, take off this makeup, and take these shoes off. She’s going to put her feet up and maybe listen to those Tibetan temple bells Molly sent her. They’re surprisingly relaxing. Molly says, Mozart and Bach are good too, played at a very low volume, but Kristina says she’s going to stick to the bells. She thanks Molly and they hug. Kristina says she loves Molly so much and thanks Molly for being there for her.
Gregory tells Tracy that he refuses to let his illness derail their plans. There will be no cancelation of the wedding and there will be no replacing him either. He’s going to be fine that day if it kills him. And that’s not a joke. Standing in the doorway, Finn smiles, and Tracy tells the others, Gregory says, the wedding will go on as planned with him officiating. He is a grown man, and he knows his body and he knows what he can handle. You’re to stop treating him like a child. It’s disrespectful. Let him make his own decisions. She steps away and lowers her voice, telling Gregory that she embellished a little to make it sound better. He says he appreciates that. He plans to be on that altar marrying Chase and Brook. And if, God forbid, he has another episode, someone – Tracy perhaps – can go up there and read the pages he’s written. But everything is going to be fine that day and no one is going to be happier than him to watch his son and her granddaughter get married. Tracy says, okay, and tells Chase that he and Finn are their father’s greatest achievements. He’s been looking forward to this wedding since the day Chase proposed to Brook. He would be devastated if he were not there to officiate. So he’s ready and he can handle anything that happens with our help. So you’re to honor his wishes because that’s the way it should be. If you love him, you’ll listen to him. She tells Gregory, done, and he thanks her. Finn puts his hand on Gregory’s shoulder.
Anna asks if Dex is going to give up on becoming a cop because of an uncomfortable night, and he says, not a chance. She says, good. What he’s setting out to do is important. Society needs police officers for a reason, to have safe and livable neighborhoods and cities. It’s an important job. There are always going to be a few bullies no matter how hard they try to get rid of them, but he can’t let them get to him. He says he’ll do his best, and she says, that’s all she can ask. She thinks he’s going to prove to himself what kind of a person he is, and he’s going to do the same to the other officers. She tells him goodnight and leaves.
Drew says, the night really flew by, and asks if he can walk Jordan out. She says her Ride Share is almost here, and he knows she was a cop. She can take care of herself. He says he knows. That’s why he wants her protection. It can be dangerous out there at night. She says, come on, and they leave.
Sam tells Dante, it’s Jason’s openness and honesty that make him so approachable, but such a big threat at the same time. He’s cool. Jason gets it. Dante says, and that stings a little bit? and she says, yes. Of course (🍷) it does. She doesn’t want to not be the cool parent. She wants to be the fun parent, but no. She’s got to tell Danny that he’s got to do his homework and clean up his room. Dante says, that’s like a normal parent/child relationship. The parent sets the boundaries, and the teenager tests them. She says she knows, but Jason has no real experience at being Danny’s father. He doesn’t know what Danny needs yet. And the more time they spend together, she can feel Danny pulling back from her and she doesn’t want to lose her son. He says, she’s not going to lose her son. She and Danny are having a rough patch right now, that’s it. Danny loves her and he’s always going to love her. That’s not going to change. She takes his hand and says, promise? and he says, yeah. He promises. She says, okay. She’s going to choose to believe him… at least for tonight. He says, that’s good, and suggests they get out of here.
Jason says he’s going to get Josslyn back to the dorm, and she thanks him. She says she’s not going to get any sleep though. Every time she closes her eyes, she has this nightmare that she finds Dex, dead, and Sonny standing over him holding a gun, smiling. He says, nightmares are the worst, and she says, it’s all her fault. She should have never followed Dex when he left Port Charles. She should have just let him go, because then he’d be safe, and he’d be out of Sonny’s reach. Jason says he might not know Dex, but he knows her. And the fact that she cares about Dex this much, tells him that Dex is a good guy. So he’s going to make her a promise. He’s not going to let Sonny kill Dex. He’s going to watch. He’s going to listen. He’s going to keep a close eye on Sonny. He knows what to look for and he’s not going to let it happen. He will keep Dex safe. So she can get some sleep. She thanks him, and says, that’s not why she came here. Or maybe it was. Just, thank you. She hugs him.
Tomorrow, Ava tells Laura that spending time with Ace is someone’s way of clinging to the past (probably Heather); Molly tells TJ that this one isn’t their problem, it’s all Kristina; and Nina says she and Drew really were made for each other.
🧼 All the Soap News Fit To Print…
Congrats to these two. Robert Gossett has it tough, being up against Dick Van Dyke, who is nearly 100 years old. Awards committees do have a tendency to give the You-made-it-this-long Award over who should actually get it. I love Marshall’s scenes. He often makes me feel like I’m watching a play.
Even if she doesn’t get it, I hope her song does. Such an accomplished lady at such a young age. I was still playing with Barbies and putting on shows with my sister in the living room.
But will she bring Ziti?
Unfortunately, he’s not going to be in the NYC area… sniff… Maybe next time.

I’m not a game show person, but he’s so excited, it makes me want to watch it.

A major loss to the soap world.
🔪 Tonight In Chefs…
I loved the whole chaos theme. That’s sort of the ongoing theme of my cooking.

🎂 Sugar and Birthday Spice…
I’ve pledged my allegiance to the Spice Girls. While Geri is my personal favorite, Posh is a close second. It’s a shame her reality show, Victoria Beckham: Coming To America, wasn’t the smash it should have been. She’s very funny and down-to-earth, and it was so much better than watching people who have money and don’t deserve it throw things at each other.
