Yes, even though every single doctor at the hospital never met a HIPAA violation they didn't embrace, when it comes to randomly blabbing information, the cops are always "Hold my beer."

So, I have this oriole that for some reason seems desperate to get in our house. It's going from window to window tapping on the glass. It's currently at the window of my sewing area amusing the cat. I wonder what causes this.

Maybe because I'm used to her, but I find Paulina's screeching FAR more irritating than Julie's. I think it's because, right or wrong, Julie is usually calling out someone for their behavior, while Paulina is simply bellowing orders - and usually not reasonable ones at that. Yes, that always amazes me. The cops on this show ask someone a question that they have absolutely no right to ask and people just idiotically go along with it. I don't think you can just show up at someone's door and demand identification - glad Colin was smart enough to demand a warrant - which they have absolutely no basis to get. Kudos to Sloan for figuring it out so quickly - she actually uses the Salem Brain on a pretty regular basis. I just hope this doesn't mean we'll be subjected to endless scenes of Paulina screeching about the Peterson siblings being in cahoots and having some big conspiracy. I know it will NEVER happen, but I would love a scene where both Paulina and Abe are forced to eat their words about Sloan.

I get being somewhat miffed that Xander expected breakfast, but the arrangement WAS that Chloe would do more of the household chores in exchange for Xander paying rent. Yet every time he even suggested anything (like simply ordering food - not a particularly challenging task) she glared at him like he was expecting her to do every single chore in a skimpy French maid outfit. Does she think her mere presence is enough? Thought she was being a bit over-the-top bitchy about not agreeing to do ANYTHING. This times about a million. He's really turning in to an ass.

For round 846 with Eric. Which, even if it works, will still be the most boring relationship on the show.

Apparently Holly must live in the DiMeara tunnels or possibly has already been shipped off to boarding school. They don't even mention her in passing anymore - as in Nicole goes to the hospital and can't even be bothered to ask Gabi to make sure Holly is OK.

Wow. That's really scary. Hope everything is OK.

Did Brady seriously just use the term "kept woman"? Is this 1957? Is Brady auditioning to be the new misogynistic Victor? I wonder if they're going to keep Talia around after this all comes out. I think she has potential to be a really good actor. She really communicated by her facial expressions that she had doubts about what Colin was doing, even though she was going along with him. And she played the reluctant seducer of Chanel really well.

Yes, I really like the fact that whoever hated Xander still does. They MAY at some point forgive him, but he isn't automatically and insta-hero. I think Colin is just staying at the same crappy motel that Xander lives in now. The decor is similar. I'm guessing somehow Xander or Chloe will accidentally tell someone they saw Talia there, Jada will find out and it will set off her suspicions. I also liked the Sloan/Leo interactions. Both of them are at their best when playing somewhat shady.

Yeah, the last one made sitting REALLY awkward.

Granted, I never wanted to be pregnant - ever - but the thought of doing it at that age and under those circumstances is beyond strange.

You're right. Haven't they gotten footage from Horton Square in the past?

Really show? You had to go with the coma AGAIN? If they wanted some drama, couldn't they have just said that because of the bullet, they weren't sure if Bo would ever be 100% himself again or some such garbage? On this show, comas are even less dramatic than death. We ALL know that Bo will come out of it. Guess this is just so KA can have another dramatic scene begging Bo to come back to her again or something. Yea, if all they're ever going to do with Tripp is make him be the "nice" loser in love triangles, they really shouldn't have bothered to bring him back.

Peacock only shows about 5 minutes of commercials so I don't find it too annoying. I watched The Blacklist on the NBC app because they show it a week before Peacock. The number of commercial breaks was terrible. It was so annoying I decided to wait the extra week to watch it on Peqcock.

Nicole has really lost control of the Salem brain. She was seen in bed with Eric by SLOAN. Does she really think that Sloan won't use it to her advantage at some point? Since it is the "family" house, I guess he has as much right to have anyone live there as anyone else - no need to ask permission. After all, EJ didn't ask anyone if he could move in Nicole (and theoretically Holly - who apparently is living in an even more secret room than the DiMeara wine cellar.) While I get Eric wanted to tell Paulina that he believes Sloan, why didn't he ask her if she truly believed that Sloan would actually let him eat spiked biscuits? I know Paulina is usually so busy braying at full volume that nothing actually penetrates her tiny mind so it won't make a difference, but shouldn't that be a question the police (who apparently all work for Paulina) actually consider?

I think the way they both sort of smirked when she said that let us know it was obvious between the two of them that she was making a joke. They both apologized to each other for what they had done to hurt the other (a VERY rare occurrence on this show - two people actually having the maturity to acknowledge their bad behavior) and were parting, while not as friends at least not as enemies. And, of course, rather than go behind a closed door, into the bedroom she was LITERALLY standing in front of, she has her private conversation in. the. hall. A public space where anyone can overhear her talk. Definitely NOT using the Salem brain today. I wouldn't mind a friendship between Stefan and Melinda - they work really well with each other. I think this show needs more friendships, especially between members of the opposite sex.

And people return from the dead ALL THE TIME but Don Craig still hasn't found his way back from the mailbox. And isn't there some kid who went upstairs in the Horton house and never came back down?

So they just walk into an empty warehouse? No one on duty? No locks? Sure, sounds reasonable. Off topic, but why on earth did Chad and Stephanie decide to dress in matching brown. That particular color is rarely flattering on anyone and it certainly wasn't on either one of them.

I know nothing about this particular aspect of the law, but wouldn't it seem like you have to show the warrant to the person who's property you're searching. And making that huge mess was totally petty, spiteful behavior on Jada's part. Don't know if Sloan could file a complaint with the department for harassment, but, if she can, she REALLY should. They've been treating her like a criminal with ABSOLUTELY no evidence - unless you count Paulina's constant braying evidence. The fight in the square was not only stupid but completely out of character for Sloan. Normally, the Sloan we've all seen would have been busily collecting witness statements from all the random day players in the square regarding Chanel's assault on her rather than taking the bait and fighting back. And yes, it WAS assault. Chloe's slap of Xander was warranted - this was assault.

Well she was raving about the Baklava. Maybe she bought enough to put all those dancers on permanent retainer.

Don't you know EVERY Greek person dances at the drop of a hat and throws plates in every restaurant - every. single. time. Nope, no wild stereotyping here, nothing at all.

I don't use it on an iPad but usually, if it's playing the old episode you can up arrow and go right on the options until you find "Play next episode"

I'm disappointed that he actually thought Sloan would be stupid enough to just leave evidence laying around in the open. She's not.

I'm really liking this new Melinda. This show needs more fun and I like the way they're changing up some of the characters.

Just another example of how stupid Brady is - getting outsmarted by a child that age.
