He wasn't even sitting with Scout. She was with her real family. I don't mind that Leo wasn't there at the funeral. He was Sam's half brother but also young and tangential enough in her life that it wouldn't help him to be at the funeral and hear everyone sad about Sam dying. It wouldn't help him to attend and Sam is beyond caring. It's all his choice though. Monica is always desperate to have more contact with him, Danny idolizes him and wants more, Jake has given up on having a real relationship with his father. He chose to protect Carly over going back to Port Charles and a possible relationship with Britt. If he wanted relationships with the people on Port Charles, he would be welcomed with open arms. But he doesn't.

What struck me mot through all this episode is how insulting it is to Kelly Monaco that they are spending weeks of screentime eulogizing Sam after she was fired. This is what a longtime character like Bobbie should have got when JZ died. Not a character who died because Frank was petty about the actress. That said, the actors really rose to the occasion, especially NLG and DZ, and I enjoyed the flashbacks. She's angry at Jason for hitting Drew cuz she doesn't know that Drew slept with Willow a few days ago. Honestly, I was surprised that Drew was there because CM's Drew has zero in common with BM's Drew other than the name. I think it's a result of the terrible story running and writing. Only Carly's children get real storylines (look at poor Chase compared to Michael, or Dante given how much superior an actor DZ is compared to CD) and everyone else gets leftover sitcom or romcom stories.

I thought that I saw some jealousy on the part of Anna but concluded that it was just wishful thinking. I'll settle for her reaching out to Sasha; she technically could have been Sasha's stepmother (and not attached to Cody).

I have to give JJ credit for acting, he was puffing and breathing as if he was really working out while hitting that bag lighter than I would. But if I were JJ, I'd be really pissed off at whoever was giving me this insipid, whiny dialogue and regret my decision to return. Of course Carly went to Drew "to fix [Jason's] mess" because she can't ever not be involved in what 'her' people do. Line of the day goes to Jason: Ric: "I bet you want to punch me right now." Jason: Doesn't everyone?" Also both Ric and Drew are stupid if they think that just kissing Willow is going to make jason turn up and beat Drew like that. They need to have more of Terri as CoS and less of Portia in the role. More chem testing Isaiah and Jordon but I like him better with Molly. As Alexis said, she is her father's daughter. He is studying music at PCU, for which he left Julliard (if I remember correctly),. Because apparently the PCU music program is better than Julliard's. <eyeroll>

She decided to go traveling at the time Korte needed Scott to be in Lucy's orbit to make Martin jealous before ushering his southern gentleman persona off. Everything is for plot.

I thought that Price built up a great defense for the girl, that the school was giving away extra time to those whose parents bought it and penalizing the kids who genuinely needed the time because of learning or emotional issues. And then suddenly he's using to prove motive. WTH is wrong with this show? Last episode a traumatized 13 year old was tried as an adult after being lied to, and this episode the corrupt system wins. I never thought that the lawyers were supposed to be the bad guys. At the least, I wanted the episode to end in a public scandal for the school because of how they were basically selling high grades to rich students. Not everyone got it, and many of those who did were the children of rich parents who basically bought their neuro-normal kids extra perks rather than the kids who genuinely needed it. For parents of kids who are neurodivergent or with learning disabilities, it really becomes a "we" thing, researching the best way to scaffold and support them. Especially now when information is easy to find over the internet, many parents know more about how to treat these conditions than teachers or counsellors do. A friend of mine could not find knowledgable tutors for her daughters so she did her own research and founded her own specialized agency.

Are they chem testing Molly with Isaiah now? I thought that he was for Jordan i.e. Molly's quasi mother-in-law. The writers really love cross-generational shenanigans. I was bored with the Ava/baby/Kristina - losing- it two months ago and it's not getting any better. Please put me out of my misery and move on. At least Molly and Kristina didn't fight today. TJ seems to have completely forgotten the birthday of his domestic partner and is still on about how she doesn't pay him enough attention. I guess the nod to Little Women is sweet about Molly but why a new edition of a book more than 150 years old? (The last time I tried to read it, I gave up from the 19th century prejudices) Consider me shocked that Michael is acting like an adult about his marriage, just as i want it to completely blow up.

I can't see Jason, Drew or even Alexis fighting for custody if the kids want to live with Dante and Rocco. Of course, when lulu wakes up all bets are off. (Will they show Lulu doing through the months of physical rehab that she should need? I doubt it, she'll be back home in a week.) I like that Sasha is a tie to Robert now that he is no longer on the show but creating this story that not only makes Holly a terrible mother but Robert the latest deadbeat dad, is just so wrong. The trope does work but the Trina/Kai meet-cute was so stale and unimaginative, Hallmark would be ashamed. It's another example of the bad writing on this show. They give us a feeling and we are supposed to buy it as the whole complex story. Felicia regretted, and then she changed. Holly says that she regrets but she doesn't change. Worse, she's contagious, she's got Robert to abandon his new-found daughter for her. Sri Rao, where are you when we need you? Given what I've been hearing on the news from elected officials, I can believe that no one on staff does. They should check with NLG.

Figuring out what marks to give the different members of the group on a group project i always hard but I can't believe that that TA didn't factor in the fact that Trina's partner didn't show up at all. Sadly, I don't think that the writers care. This writing crew is often far too superficial.

The writers really shouldn't have tried for Casablanca. This was so embarrassing. And by the way, Ingrid Bergman was really in love with Humphrey Bogart, not the husband that she was leaving with. Did the writers think that we haven't actually seen the movie? Robert promising that he and Holly would be back. Robert yes, Holly noooooo So much for Sasha. She lost Cody (and Brando and Liam) and now she doesn't even have Robert. And speaking of movie rip-offs, Trina/Kai is pure One On One (now there's a blast from the past). Is Jason actually considering having Danny live with him? This I gotta see. [not] Even so, he's being a better dad than Lucky is. The women on this show really have to do the heavy lifting, Mac and the now departed Finn being the exceptions. (Robert lost his cred leaving Sasha to go off with Holly.) I vote for a puppy because she at least could take him or her outside with her. I love cats but Sasha needs to get out and have a life. It's not SM's accent for me but the awkward timing of her lines. She pauses in the strangest places, and then rushes through the next words. But I have to give her credit, she's improved a lot during her time on the show.

But then how would they get us to believe that Holly is Robert's HEA? I hate being gaslit.

It may even have been only yesterday as Drew is just now returning Willow's earring unless no one ever cleans the playroom. A shoulder is far enough from her uterus and they'll put a lead apron over it anyway. Sssshhh. They're hoping that we don't notice. Or maybe they didn't notice. I'd like her to have a win too, especially that now she no longer has Cody and Robert is probably leaving the show. But no one, not even Willow, deserves baby-hoarding Carly as your child's grandmother, especially if you are not married to the child's father.

Damn, they are really pushing Holly as the love of Robert's life with everything they've got. Are they trying to make Robert deadtome? Felicia may have left Mac a few times but she never hid a secret child from him. That should totally be a dead breaker but no, on this show it's just proof that they belong together. And then there's Felicia pushing Sasha to forgive her mother. 🤢 I understand if TR wants to retire but Robert deserves so much better than this. Meanwhile Drew refuses to leave Willow alone, and Michael, instead of talking to her, makes an appointment with Diane. Typical Michael. And to no one's surprise, they are teasing Sasha being pregnant with Michael's baby. Zzzzzzz (Nice scene with Alexis and Diane though.)

Dante is the single parent of a teenage son and has a fulltime job that requires him to work long and variable hours.. While Danny and Scout may want to continue living in Sam's condo with him and Rocco, is Dante willing or even able to take on two grieving children who may resent Rocco for having a mom while theirs died trying to save her?

That's an ewwww for me. Not just the sister to Robin thing but mostly that SBu has aged badly and looks more than 20 years older than Sofia. I's rather Jason with Anna than Sasha. A delaying tactic so that he doesn't have to make any decisions right now (he's putting all of the funeral in Alexis' hands) but it also makes sense because it gives the greatest stability to the kids at the moment.Alexis is in no shape to deal with the upheaval of them moving in with her and dealing with their grief and loss as well as her own.
