That was so hard to watch and I was so frustrated but the whole show so far has been 3hrs. So really… That one was fine for me but the Nepalese woman’s crushed foot…. No. Hard no. names I think I know Robby=not Carter Dr Collins=pregnant Whittaker=dead patient newbie doc. McKay=Dr LoJack Javadi=NepoDoc/Crash Santos=sociallyassydoc.

My sisters and I had to make this choice in Aug of 2021. The people who talked with us were clearly traumatized by Covid and families venting/squabbling over the vent. We were in agreement. It was a quick discussion and I cannot tell you how many people in the hospital thanked us both for being civil and for not extending our mom’s suffering.

I’m gonna need to know that Robby gets to pee at some point.

I don’t think Hallmark is going there with Susannah and Kat but to me by far they have the most chem. I think an older and wiser version of Alice pushed Alice into the pond. I think Jacob is the baby and Colton and Del just found him and not being Jacob’s bio mom is what the blackmail is. But seriously I don’t think the blackmail has anything to do with Jacob’s return story. I think it is something from the past that we will learn this season. He died in the 1790s?

The bank of Tracy. As much as I wanted Dante to catch the plane, And I did, it is just another parent leaving him on Christmas. If the plane goes down he’ll have lost 3. Does the bank of Tracy extend to Dante if he’s trying to help Lulu? Do the Qs have a jet? This is the first time I’ve connected with Lucas since the recast. Too early for me to pass judgement on Emma. Yes she’s hiding something but she’s a young adult. She’s not who she was as a kid but who is at that age?

Love Laura getting her kids back but her being so happy to be with her “two” kids pinged hard. Poor Nik. I would mind less about Lulu abandoning Rocco on Christmas for Charlotte if she told him she was afraid Valentine might move them at any minute. But the way it played it just felt like “see ya less important kid”. Also if Lucky, Liz, Lulu, Dante and Rocco had felt it was important to support Laura at the tree lighting shouldn’t Kevin too?

I think this will happen. But Jason pretending to be the father of the child of the boy he pretended to be the father of really highlights the age issue with Sasha and Jason.

As far as I can tell Isaiah has mad chemistry with everybody in PC except Jordan. Inviting Drew over for Christmas is extra stupid. Well done Willow. I found Felicia telling Willow that she didn’t need to go out of her way for a holiday play date after she saw Willow vibing with Drew unintentionally really funny. I find Drew insufferable. I guess they are trying to make Jason and Sasha happen but the part where he could be her father is just too ick for me. See also or at least almost also Willow and Drew.

I remember at the time thinking NLG should put the kibosh on it because the show just loved giving Mac bonus girls. If Mac got too chummy with the Coven Alexis might take a long fall off a short parapet. I love Cam. And I love happy mom Liz. But not having Cam find out about Joss or have feelings abt Lucky feels wasted.

Oooh. I hope not. Private investigator I’m all there. Cooling his heels at the cop shop? No thank you. I really loved Michael telling Carly the reason he let Willow leave was because of how scared he was during her and Sonny’s custody games. Jason being the next logical person after Carly to comfort Joss was a giant eyeroll to me. Loved the way Tracy did a complete 180 from going after Drew to being delighted and relieved to see Lulu. Those scenes really worked for me. As did Dante’s reality check with Lulu.

I want to like them but she’s so boring. I actually thought that trio had a moment of spark when Portia seemed momentarily jealous. That was so bizarre. I get her not liking Sonny but being a cop is less dangerous than being a low level Corinthos employee? Also while I am usually wildly pro Sonny hate Joss’s opinion about Sonny I feel should be fairly complicated because mixed in with justified hatred is the bit where all of her siblings love him it should be complicated. I mean I still want her to hate him but also more? Are they wanting me to hate Anna because?!?! Couldn’t they have at least tried to ask Martin for help before Anna went to letting Jason have his way with Martin. I shouldn’t trust Jason more in a scene than I do Anna. I really like Martin.

In actually okay with this. She’s just had so many blows. There is only so much grief you can take. my grandma died shortly after my father died more unexpectedly. It wasn’t that I didn’t love my grandma it was just I didn’t have any more room for it. My mom apparently started grief counseling for the same reason, and her therapist told her it was normal with two big losses like that and she wasn’t the worlds worst daughter. Lulu’s learned she’s lost 4 years with her kids, one of them is missing, and her dad is dead. Of course finding out about Bobbie was a big, “of course Bobbie is dead too” moment. My sister was so disappointed one Christmas when she acknowledged how much I’d sacrificed as caretaker for our mom and one Christmas offered to not only pay for me to go on vacation but also to come look after our mom. It was such a generous offer and my literal reaction was, “oh great what is going to ruin this”? Instead of being grateful, I literally braced for impact because every bit of good for 7 years had been superseded by something horrific. It was my Christmas 2019 gift.

Dax and Joss are boring. I actually kind of vibe Trina and Gio more than the football player but I’m not against them I am just never, ever going to care about this art project or collegiate sports. I like Martin almost as much as I dislike Cyrus. But I’d be lying if I said I was here for any reason L&L2. I want it to be bumpy and I need Luckt to spend some time with Aiden and I’d like Lizes other boys too but yeah I’m here for them, literally. but these flashbacks did remind me JJ had stupid hair then too.

I found KA’s inability to move her face distracting. The words and tone were correct but it just took me out. Matt used to be able to act, right? Because now? Not so much. Did Paulina have a special relationship with Doug? She felt out of place to me but I’m here for Doug and John’s deaths I’ve been away.

Agreed that Rocco was really good in his scenes. Scout was good. Danny had moments of good and moments of less good. I thought Laura’s initial reaction was fine but at the couch I wanted Alexis to slap her in the face. But those scenes with Laura and Rocco were so good. Drew can miss me with the not immediately going to wherever his daughter was in the world. Yes that was a writing decision but it was one that made me angry at Drew. Jason was fine telling the kids but he should have called Drew first. Carly need not be involved. I thought Holly and Robert’s scenes were fine but they shouldn’t have been in this episode. Weirdly I didn’t feel that way about Max and Spin. And I thought they hit the Zenón joke a little too hard but I liked it when I saw the costume. im usually team Molly between the sisters but thought she was obnoxious until Alexis arrived. Both gestures were nice. Both were appropriate. But I thought Kristina was too broad. I get the character is more emotional but…. DZ hit it out of the park and I probably like MB in scenes with NLG and DZ best so he worked as well here for me as he’s going to be able to. I didn’t love him but he fit in the episode more seemlessly than Carly. I liked when Georgie perked up to hear about Aunt Georgie. It was a small moment but it worked for me and I’m not a huge fan of kid Georgie because I blame her name for us not being able to ever get back adult Georgie.
