Strong episode to end the week. Very good: Laura laying it all out there for Sonny and NOT backing down to his usual go-to martydom excuses. "Your good deeds don't absolve your bad ones" and saying Cyrus's crimes don't negate his? *Chef's kiss* no notes! And I know--because this isn't my first rodeo--that all will be forgiven when it's revealed Sonny's meds were tampered with, but I'm liking the rose-colored glasses being removed by the townfolk right now. Tracy/Gregory and Finn/Alexis: Great support systems for both men and they both made excellent points. Nina telling Carly "so much for you earning the MC back on your own." Hahahahaha, boom. Also, both of them agreeing Ava and Sonny are a toxic combo. Lastly, Ava's blous. I want it. The not as good: Carly again acting like Nina ruined the MC and taunting her about it. God, she's insufferable. Olivia has too much to do? Sure, Jan. Also, very plot-point-y to get Sasha into the action more, but I don't hate it? (question mark intended)

It feels like they’re setting up something happening to Kristina involving Sonny/Ava, her losing the baby, and TJ totally losing his shit and blaming her.

And I guess we're supposed to forget Olivia is half owner? Any and all "problems" the MC had when Carly wasn't an owner are ALL Nina's fault. Got it, show. Also, Carly accepting congratulations for "getting your hotel back" needed a laugh track. yeah, she worked hard for that. I think so, too. The anvils have really been dropping. Great color, but the dress was hideous.

Was Lois going to entertain a kid's party later? Because otherwise I don't understand the stegosaurus hairdo. And don't get me started on her and Olivia's ~dancing. Yikes. Joss: now and forever a brat. And, oh look, running to Jason tomorrow. Like mother, like daughter.

Miss Resilient and Strong had to have Jason come and intimidate the gas guy and then bragged how she would've "sued him and won but this was faster." So she's both totally dependent on Jason AND a Karen. Great combo!

Over a year of hearing her howl about how she wouldn't take it or the money for it from anyone and Jason blinks three times and she gets giggly and acts like he gave her his class ring. Pathetic. Joss crying to Anna, Anna being a snit to Molly, Lois dictating plus-ones: not a good day for the woman folk of PC.

Oh, it seems like they're definitely going there, dammit. I'll say this: Adam Harrington was selling it today. Like, I was swooning. But why does it always have to be Carly? She's an utterly unpleasant, nasty character and I don't get why all the men flock to her. The PCPD obstacle course had me cracking up. It wasn't even Survivor challenge-worthy.

Yeah, I bet Carly does "miss the way it was between the three of us," as both Sonny and Jason thought the sun shone out her ass, which is the way she likes things. She can miss me with all her tears about the end of marriage number I've-lost-count with Sonny.

In Reno. Just to watch him die!

So much for "doing it on my own." I cannot tell you how refreshing the Jason/Carly scenes were today when they fell back into exactly the obnoxious, toxic dynamic they've had for decades. Bravo, writers, for making me feel secure in my "these two suck" position I've held since 1999. Loved the Tracy/BL scenes. I loved that Tracy's edges have been softened just enough (but not too much!) and she's letting people in. Great to see.

I cannot with the massive amount of bullshit in the last few days about how AWFUL the MC has become and how it's all Nina's fault (somehow Olivia is now helpless and has no say despite owning 1/2 of it) and how much BETTER it was when the entitled cow owned it. Miss me with this, new writers. Honestly, if they were so hellbent on giving the place back to Carly, there were ways to do it without again making Nina the scapegoat and Carly stomping around shrieking about cold scrambled eggs. I don't really care about Chase and Brooklyn that much, but it so happens on this day last year I was returning from my amazing Italy vacation (where, why yes, I did eat gelato every single day), so all the Florence talk made me smile.

The worst part about those Carly/John scenes is that that set-up? Would actually be a fun way to start a new couple...if it was anyone but Carly. Having to listen to her brag about nursing school, her abilities, how much better the hotel was when she owned it, was like nails on a chalkboard. With all the Kristina comments about not trusting her, it feels like Ava is going to figure out about the pills but rather than tell Sonny, use it to her advantage. Guess that'll give her something to do other than get him a drink...

Willow was a real asshole to Nina today. She can forgive everyone, including murderers, but not her own mother. I can't feel sorry for her for being manipulated by her idiot husband because she's practically begging to be treated as a trophy wife/doormat. Speaking of assholes, Jason left CARLY more of his estate than his own kids? That is what they call a dick move in any language. And about those assholes in abundance today, nice rewrite of history, Diane. Nina didn't "swoop in" and essentially steal the MC from Carly. She actually tried to fucking give it back to her, but Miss Independent (insert laugh track) wouldn't accept.

Because then we'd be subjected to more Brick and nobody wants that.

Carly really enables Joss's bad behavior, which, quelle shock. Pardon me while I roll my eyes at her telling Shrew Jr. that she was 'right about Sonny,' when she's backed him and his illegal dealings for 20 years. They can both take several thousand seats.
