I didn't understand why Luna seemed so hell-bent on protecting Zende. It's not a good look for her and no wonder RJ is confused and angry. Frankly, I am glad that Carter spelled it out for Zende and that RJ finished the job by decking Zende. As far as all the other "misunderstandings," ITA that all perpetrators should have been held accountable for their actions.

This "magic mints" stuff is ridiculous and an insult to our intelligence. Why not just call them what they are, "edibles?" After all, marijuana is legal in California. /eyeroll

Carl never answered Deacon's question. He saw that Deacon was getting slightly cray-cray and backed off. Then Carl got a phone call and hurried out of the room leaving Deacon alone to rave, "10 Toes. 10 Toes." Red Rum. Red Rum. Yes. How magnanimous of Steffy to allow her husband to have his own feelings and thoughts. Now she has set his timeline for grieving.

Carl was back today! Anybody remember him? Wasn't he Bridget's lab assistant or something?

I kept waiting for Hope to use her martial arts skills to throw Steffy across the showroom/restaurant.

If I saw Steffy Forrester at a business meeting or conference or giving a speech somewhere, and she showed up in that black micro-mini dress, I would probably laugh out loud and she would lose all professional credibility with me. Yes, it's fashionable, but, I hate to say this, but I think it's a little generation inappropriate for her. No, she's not old by any means, but I could see that little dress looking snazzy on Luna. I think Steffy looks good in more executive attire, especially with blazers. Otherwise, she is either cosplaying Priscilla Presley, a Valley of the Dolls character, or dominatrix.

Hey, speaking of spoilers ... I have read in several spots that Ivy is coming back. I would love nothing more than to have Ivy get together with Liam and Hope gets with Finn, which leaves bitch Steffy and her delusional brother out in the cold.

Nice of Ridge to stick up for his wife while Satanie 2.0 was spewing her vile at Brooke.

Sheila had only one final job to do and she failed miserably!

Nothing like 30-something adults having mommy and daddy fight their romantic battles for them. Ridge has already gone in on Hope and you know that a major showdown between Brooke and Steffy is coming. I'm afraid that Hope crying to Ridge about how badly Steffy treats her is going to fall on deaf ears. Ridge will do anything to protect his precious spoiled princess. After today, I would love nothing more than to have Finn implode and Finn and Hope get together. Steffy can stew in the loser's corner with Liam and she is just pathetic enough to take him back. Those two belong together.

Funny how Steffy is always demanding unconditional compassion and support when she needs it, yet her brutal diatribe against Thomas was anything but. I understand that when dealing with somebody like Thomas you have to be firm and in-your-face, but that was too much. Of course, somebody who accepted an engagement still warm from another woman's finger wouldn't understand the need to take some time before jumping into another commitment. I wish that Hope had slapped her.

Which decade are these writers stuck in? Why is Thomas so hell-bent on getting married? He is delusional, obsessive, and controlling. Why can't he listen to Hope and respect her need to not immediately jump into another marriage? Do we even know if Lope is officially divorced yet? What makes it even worse is that so-called "modern, liberated, strong" woman Steffy is pushing for pretty much the same thing. 100% commitment from Hope or nothing. No wonder Thomas is so deranged and confused. I give Ridge a slight pass on his attitude just because he's such a stupid, arrogant a**. But really, he is too young to have that type of reaction, pushing for Thomas and Hope to seal the deal. (Meaning that he is younger than the generations that were on the "let's get married" bandwagon.)

Ugh. Thomas is just too much. I am feeling smothered and I'm just a viewer! Hope needs to step outside her wounded ego and take a good hard look at how controlling Thomas is doing to be once the sex haze wears off.

Hey, everybody! Did you know that Luna is special?

I can't wait for a prosecutor to grill Steffy on her history of "self-defense" killings. (The quote marks referring to Aly's demise.)
