Maybe they wanted to give CD a few Emmy reel scenes before he leaves. I think that it would have been better drama with a discussion among the four about how they wish they could wake up Michael to ask him but that would be irresponsible so here is what they have to consider. But it's TFGH. That's interesting about how many people in the US use cheques. And I guess Cody giving a cheque to Brad in front of Lukas wouldn't have been so obvious without it.

You know, if they were counsellors at the camp I could buy it more easily (because that happened to someone when I was a counsellor). Campers, not so much. But it sounds like they were campers (under 16? which is the age for counsellors-in-training) and I have a hard time seeing young Brook Lynn as a counsellor. I have the feeling that the ball dropped for Willow when she was talking to Chase and she's going to be angry now that Drew stepped in. Which i think is unfortunate because I could take some more story of Willow under Drew's spell. It's better than NuLu's endless "my daughter, my daughter" and and the boring Brook Lynn/pregnancy/Gio and Trina/Kai stories. CD leaving seems to kill the only storyline that has any pep.

The point of a Power of Attorney is for someone to make the decisions when the person can't. Michael is in pain and has no knowledge of the medical procedures or the Facility That Brennan Found. How can he make an informed decision? Portia, if you don't know of the burn technique, head to your computer and look it up. Sidwell hands Ava a cheque for the painting. Who uses cheques these days, much less carries a cheque book around? This show plays fast and loose with the law. How does Drew get a court order on behalf of Willow to take her children when she knows nothing about it? Also fast and loose is Sonny demanding that Willow can have Wylie and Amanda while keeping Ava from Avery. That makes sense. Alexis has never been a fashionista, she's been more dedicated to being a lawyer than fashion. Comfort over style. I still have a real problem of Lois, with her emphasis on family, being wiling to give away her grandchild. DZ was born in 1979. But even if Dante is 40, he would have been 19 or 20 when Gio was conceived. Old enough to be told about a pregnancy.

Uh... isn't that technically rape if Brooke Lynn is under 18 (Which most camp kids are)? That would be awesome. Cody, who has the emotional maturity of a 15 year old, tries to parent a college student. Also #SaveDante It might work since Drew is now a public figure and will be looking for reeclection. Granted it hasn't worked on some real life Congressmen but I live in hope.

Love child in the sense that it's a colloquial expression for illegitimate. But I cannot believe that Dante was ever really in love with Brooke Lynn. Total retcon.

Carly: "We finally have the chance to give Michael the care he needs." Carly seems to have forgotten that Brennan said that he couldn't get Michael into the facility. But Tracy telling Carly off was a thing of beauty. JE was having sooo much fun. As much as I dislike Carly and Sonny, I do think that Michael would be better off having them by his bedside and talking to him. There a body of research on the effects of having people talk to you even when unconscious. My guess is that Willow called Carly to tell her that she can see Michael. It won't mean a thing in the long run because Carly holds grudges like she hoards children, but it would be the right thing to do. Irony: Chase being the cop who took Willow's kids, and then telling Tracy that she needs to give them back. Someone, just get a court order FFS. Stella: "That's boy's got a good head on his shoulders." Me: And will have as long as he can avoid chronic traumatic encephalopathy playing football. If he's benched, it may be the best thing that happens to him. I'd say that nurses are the receivers rather than the quarter backs. Could they telegraphy any more clearly that Gio is the spawn of Brook Lynn and Dante. I agree. Joss is a Carly so the show will anoint her as the very special WSB recruit but temperamentally Emma is much more suited to a grey organization like the WSB. That's Carly, who then had the kids taken to the gatehouse where they live. Tracy is the one not letting them back. Why is everyone begging Tracy to let the kid back? She has no legal standing at all in this.

That's impressive of Steve Guttenberg for helpinng. But how about moving those dogs and cats instead of just feeding them? Morgan is so ADHD. My family loves it, to see themselves on screen in an accurate and not judgemental way. Morgan has "high potential' (on every ADHDers' report card) but has trouble meeting it because she doesn't know how to tone it down or how to talk to people so she's a cleaning lady instead of a university researcher. it's also interesting to see Ava having trouble fitting in between her bright and different mother and brothers. (Between Morgan and Will Trent and a local station playing Doc Martin, Tuesday is neurodiversity day at my house.)

Girl-child. Oh Drew is totally using Scout to hold on to Willow. It was fun watching him try to snow Nina about his and Willow's twue luv and how they shouldn't be kept apart. Drew is such a sleaze -- well done, writers. But what bugs me is that the situation with Wylie&Amelia and with Scout is essentially the same -- they are Quartermaine children and both with a parent who are persona non grata in the Quartermaine house. But while Wylie and Amelia are essentially kidnapped and being held, no one cares about Scout, the girl whose mother just died and who was ripped from her brothers. It's not like Monica to care more about AJ's prodigy than Alan's other sons'.

Because everyone there hates her and would be berating her about Drew all the time? Tracy won't let Wylie and Amelia go with their mother because she wants the Quartmaine children with Monica but no one cares about Scout living alone with her father in a hotel room? And Tracy is also okay with Michael not having his family around him? I thought that she liked Michael. The stupid burns. Willow needs to charge Tracy for kidnapping.

I like the show but this season has been very weird. It feels more like I'm watching an art film than Vienna Blood. i did love all the pretty clothes at Rieger's. I appreciate how well the show shows the class differences in early 1900s Vienna. Fraulein Reiger calls out that Maxi's demeanor is not that of an English lord; also while Oskar and Max are near equals while working on a case, at Reiger's the class difference shows. Oskar's story with Theresa seems shady. Poor Oskar. I wonder if Clara's new editor is a shady character and involved with Mephisto.

I'd love AJ back to lead the Quartermaines, especially with Monica gone and Ned barely on. Carly telling Jason that he should have been Michael's father set the stage for it. So Tracy and Jason are willing to hurt Michael for Monica's sake? Tracy refusing to let go of the kids is ridiculous. Monica would never want the kids to be kept from their mother, she's not the vindictive kind that Carly, Joss and Diane are. If the clinic is Russia has closed, did they not publish their research? Because that's what doctors do. Soap opera rule: when a bet is a sure thing, you're going to lose. Emma and Gio have no chemistry. Please don't force that on us. They're doing a nice job with Lucky and Liz. I loved Anna telling Girl Detective she's warned Cyrus which tracks to cover. And Cyrus' Pax vobiscum.

NuLulu, have you met Dante? He may not like the idea but he will follow the law. The number of cheating, murderous people on the show is annoying but I REALLY hate how many people are willing to ignore the law on big things (not just little things like parking illegally) if it suits them. It is the only bargaining chip that Willow has right now. The agreement is that Willow gets to have her kids, and Carly and Sonny get to see theirs. That's stupid of Tracy. Monica is sick, either too sick to see the children or she's going to be kept awake by their noise. Monica knows that Willow isn't a bad mother and anyone with any decency should realize that if the kids can't see their father, the best thing for them is to be with their mother. It surely does. But we know that Sonny and Carly have a history of that already.

I was really hoping that the writers would let Willow stand up to Carly but when Carly screeched "How could you keep us from Michael?" instead of saying "How can you keep me from my children?" she fell back on Drew again. It was nice that Nina solved the custody status and Sonny got a win in that without resorting to violence. I figure the reason was Nina's face as she was expecting Willow to thank her and Willow ran into Drew's arms instead. An interesting situation for Nina that she at last has a good relationship with Willow but Willow is running for support to Drew instead. Overkill: Beefing up Quartermaine security in case Willow tries to take her own children. Tracy advising Cody against the crypto deal reminded me of a certain person who said that going crypto would solve the country's financial problems. Could Kai be any more perfect/ Is he a chess grand master too? That would be awesome. The show needs a shady dark grey character as opposed to Sidwell and Victor who were/are both mustache-twirling villains. I figured that it was written deliberately in view of LC's failing health. She's a Carly! (tm @YaddaYadda) I'd like that, especially as Tracy would get the say on who gets to move in but it would require pivoting from Tracy being the complained-about outsider to being the matriarch and this show doesn't pivot well. Nina would be foolish to ally herself with Carly for any reason because Carly will turn on her on a dime and attack and use her if if benefits Carly. Who know what Diane told the judge to get Carly custody before Willow was even informed that it was taken to a judge. It's Diane, she's Carly-adjacent. It will look bad in a Carly vs Willow custody hearing though. @Daisy I hope that you feel better soon.

I don't understand why Brennan, who is presented as a smart man, would want to recruit Joss for the WSB. She's not trained, she's impulsive, headstrong, and she hasn't finished her B.A. (a requirement for the FBI). I can understand if he was trying to recruit Lucky who has experience and a cool head, or Jason but Joss is going to be a liability. Yes, I know that it's in the same category as Michael Corinthos, Super CEO, but it just doesn't make sense.

I have no love for Portia but it's not unusual to talk to the family about the patient's condition. I have a medical PoA but it's filed somewhere in my filing cabinet at home. If my family showed up at the hospital, the doctor would assume that they would be the ones to make the decisions if I couldn't.
