Shows are more cautious now. Many of them only present with half seasons rather than going for the full 22 episodes especially if the network isn't sure it's going to be a hit.

Scott Foley is very easy on the eyes. I approve. The friend got angry and stormed out of the intervention. (Having seen her mother, I don't blame her.) Then she went to a country & Western bar where she was kidnapped by some guys she owed money to. I was impressed with Ariana's Cantonese accent, as well as her dancing and parkour skills (although the latter was probably a stuntwoman) I wouldn't mind having more of the character on.

But also with Lulu as a stepmother since the writing on the wall is clear. Realistically i think that it would be very hard for Scout -- Rocco has both his parents, Danny has his father Jason, Charlotte (when she comes back) will presumably have both her parents but Scout will be the child left out, the double orphan. To some extent, recruiting Jason is better than recruiting Joss: he has killer skills completely ruthless and a face of granite. But how useful is tricking or forcing someone to join who doesn't want to work for you? Plus, as Diane said today, his priorities have shifted so that he's putting Danny ahead of everything. He won't want to leave him to go be a spy that he doesn't even want to be. It's so stupid. I noticed that too. The books behind Finn on his bookshelf were also predominantly nursing books, and some on Portia's shelf too earlier. I figure there was a book sale at the local nursing college and the props intern picked them up by the box full.

When Brennan was listing the reasons that Joss would be a good spy, her natural charm, her strategic mind, I was 🤮 Yes, when Kristina fell out of the window, Joss sprang into action. Because SHE'S THE LIFEGUARD. She may want justice but she's also impulsive, judgemental and always thinks that she knows better than everyone else. Joss is really stupid if she thinks that Brennan is on the side of justice when he's just set up Jason to take the fall for her. (Again, even if there is no body found, people have been convicted of murder.) The only way I could get behind this story is if it takes Joss off the show to go do spy stuff. Send her to Barcelona like Jake Drew lived up to my expectation of him and lied about being with Jason. Are they going to kill him now? Because given everything that he's done on the show, when Willow finds out that he's lied. Ouch than anvil of Tracy saying to Gio: "You're not a Quartermaine. But if you were, you'd be a better addition than Drew." Carly to Willow: "Wake up! You're having an affair with a man that doesn't exist." ADA: "You expect me to take the word of a career criminal over a US congressman?" Carly: "Have you seen the people in Congress?" Don't make me like Carly, show. Chase finally took my advice to ask Finn for a sperm donation. Brook Lynn's refusal is weak sauce. Why would a child be Trina and Kai have artistically placed paint on their blindingly white coveralls but there are no drops of paint on the floor. At least Kai is getting art therapy now. We need another expression for "begs the question" because doesn't mean what the characters on this show want it to mean. Have a good trip @GHScorpiosRule!

When I saw Will leaving her outside, I shouted "Take her with you! Someone will kidnap a dog that cute!"

John Wells, Scott Gemmill and Joe Sachs were all creators/writers on ER. Suing The Pitt for being similar to ER is like suing Ian Fleming for the James Bond books having an evil supervillain.

I expected Drew to deny Jason's alibi but maybe having Willow there is force him to pretend to be noble and get Jason off the hook. Nice of Alexis being willing to take on the tour of telling everyone about Sam's death. Thinking of them more than they thought of her Nope. She's protecting herself. As soon as Brennan said Jason would never be convicted, she folded. Like no one has ever been convicted of murder if a body wasn't found. KSt has lost a lot of weight in the past few months so now she is allowed to look attractive. Genie is now the only one being punished for not being a size 2. It's a sexist show. So very much looking forward to that. This Brennan is almost as bad as Cyrus for sleaze. I still have no idea why the WSB would want to recruit Joss. Surely they can do much better. Even Dex was better.

That is so sad. I hope that Diesel is happy now, waiting for the rest of his pack to join him. That was such a good episode. The tilt. I will miss that.

And we could have had Mac's reaction to being related to Tracy. 😮

McKay said that her ankle monitor gets removed in a week so I would like season 2 to have a time jump so that I can see how the characters may have progressed. And if Langdon's wife retaliated for the extra work the puppy he got his son brings.

I disagree. I think that she's nailed the socially awkward, out-of-place character very well. I see her and I cringe inside, remembering myself not just at that age but even now. (Ironically similar to the type of character Brad Dourif often played.) When I see the term 'nepo baby', I think of the kids whose father bought them admission to Harvard law school with a very large donation.

I did not know that about Freedom House and the first EMTs. Fascinating. This is why we need affirmative action, Willie would have made a really good doctor. Good call on Javadi's part. It struck me that instead of praising her or even just looking proud, her mother looked annoyed that she herself had been wrong. Add to that going down to the ER in the first episode to check up and her/claim her and addressing Victoria as 'Honey" (so inappropriate), I can't imagine that growing up with her was a ball of fun. I think that it speaks to the quality of the show that there are so many things that hit us in the feels. Rita was mine, her relief when she heard that she would get help showed just how exhausted and alone she felt. It does take a village and if the church/synagogue/mosque isn't there, there needs to be social services to help with the burden. I also liked that her mother was aware and sympathetic to how hard it is for her. I was thinking that the younger sister will feel like that too as soon as she gets older enough to realize what happened. I do not get what is up with Santos. She's now been told by 3 people (male nurse, Garcia, charge nurse) to let the thing against Langdon go but she just keeps pushing on. Intelligent people know when to change lanes and she doesn't seem to be able to. The textbook amount had been administered and the patient wasn't responding yet so Santos started to set up for an intubation, and then the patient responded. Afterwards Langdon spoke to her about putting him down in front of the attending. Earlier Santos had order a bipap on Langdon's (?) patient and it caused some sort of problems, and then she was scolded for ordering something without running it by a senior resident first. She seems to be the sort of person who can't stand being found to be wrong and wants to take revenge for it (unfortunately too common in real life). I think Collins spoke more about money problems than Langdon did but McKay has talked about them the most when she was trying to connect with patients.

Oh look, Gio's grandparents helping him out. Why does Sonny need to give Lois money for the Chicago trip? She's got money of her own and she's living rent free in Monica's house. Anna knows that the WSB has an office in town, and yet she assumes thathe only person who could have cleaned up the cabin is Jason? Shouldn't Ric be mourning Sam for himself? He did have an affair with her. Kai's friend doesn't like Trina (apparently that is his whole function on the show) -- the writers are desperately trying to make this story interesting. It's not working for me. Chase talking to Dante about Jason maybe killing Cyrus -- so weird that all 3 of them live in the same house. Does Joss still attend PCU? She seems to spend all her time working in Bobby's. Someone should tell her and Carly about the research that working more than 10 hours a week affects your grades. And Carly should either hire more staff or get her own butt down there. Brennan really is a massive fail as a super spy, worse even then Valentin. Maybe it started when he fell for Carly and suddenly everything became about her. Now Anna is going to charge Jason for Cyrus' murder. So of course Joss will tell what happened if Jason is going to be at risk. Brennan is really screwing this "recruit Joss" thing up. After telling all the important people in her life how wonderful she was doing it.

I was thinking of Charlotte as a half-sibling even though she isn't related by blood. This show plays fast and loose with who is a blood offspring and who is an offspring because raised (e.g. Sonny and Michael). Kristina definitely thinks of Michael as her sibling even while it wouldn't bother Joss to disown her.

Something we agree on

Yes, Jake and TJ said in conversation that that is the problem, that as soon as the patient or his son started looking up information on cystic fibrosis, they would read that it causes infertility and the whole secret would be out. I don't mind that they are rushing through Amy's recovery. In reality there would be deficits and maybe problems with physical things as well as her memory loss but like watching someone do therapy (physical or psychological) the actual process is not that interesting.

Among the people who should be angry at Lois is Gio himself. Here he's been thinking that he is an orphan with his mother dead and not knowing who his father is, a sad and lonely place to be. But in reality he's got a living mother and father, two grandmothers, two grandfathers and a great grandmother, two half siblings and various aunts and uncles, all of whom he knows and who are fond of him (except for step sister Charlotte). If Chase is so obsessed with being biologically related to Brook Lynne's new baby, he should ask Finn to be the sperm donor. I hear he produces acceptable children.

They not only recast Drew, they rewrote him entirely. Billy's Drew never resented how he was brought up and wasn't a Quartermain, CM's Drew is burning up with resentment and entitlement. The actor is trying but the new Aiden is a bad miscast. He looks much too old to have the kind of reactions a 16 (?) year old teen should be having to Lucky in the hospital, and the actor is not managing to make me believe that he is a mid-teen. My bedroom temperature is in the mid-50s when the wind is from the east and I'm still not wearing as many clothes in bed as Brook Lynn is. You can be modest and still not look like you're heading into the north woods. If I were Joss, I would not only be furious that Brennan had proof that Cyrus had killed Dex and didn't tell the police especially because he wanted to manipulate her. No way would I join an organization that manipulative. So Brennan cleaned up everything in the cabin and is going to let everyone think that Cyrus is on the run and worry that he is going to target them next? I'm glad that they are moving Jason into the Quartermaine sphere because for too long he has been locked in the same Sonny/Carly/Jason hamster wheel. But not as much as I loved Tracy's outfit today, yet again.

I was thinking Lady Gaga. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Although interesting that there is not an age limit, just have to be on their first contract. This makes it difficult for kids who may have grown up on one soap and then moved to another in their teens or early twenties. I did not recognize Eden McCoy in that picture. She looks in her late twenties.

, Yes. While I would never wish that on a real person, and I know that I shouldn't wish it on Willow who grew up in a cult and was sexually abused by its head but she has reached the level of where there needs to be some consequences. I know that Emma can be annoying but I don't see her as entitled beyond the usual teenager level. And she's barely on, unlike Lulu who complains to Laura and Dante and Maxie, and then messes up her job and expects people to apologize to her. I honestly thought that she called Jason. Really surprised when Brennan showed up.

I started to feel sick when Drew was telling Willow about how happy all the kids would be playing together and living there in his house. I doubt that Scout would prefer 6 year old Wylie and 2 year old Amanda to her brother Danny and Rocco. At least Willow maintained some semblance of common sense. Anna: "We waited too long to arrest Cyrus Renault." And whose fault is that, Anna? Of course Joss is the one to take Cyrus down. <eyeroll> She's a Carly spawn. Why does Brennan think that recruiting Joss is a good idea? She goes rogue (something he just knocked down fake-accent Chloe for) and put herself in dangerous situations that she can't handle. And she doesn't know enough to wear plastic gloves doing it. Curtis invites his aunt over for a special Valentine's Day drink in order to get her to manipulate her friend into rejecting Drew. I am past bored with the ending Chase/Brook Lynn "Woes, we can't have a baby" story. Thank you to every who answered my question about Lulu. Good to know that it's consistent with how she was two Lulus ago but she's annoying and whiny and entitled and generally unpleasant. I'm rooting against her and Dante (Save Dante!) especially given what a supportive relationship Dante and Sam had. "Tracy is incredibly close to Brook Lynn" TRACY IS HER GRANDMOTHER, LULU. Someone please shoot me before II am reduced to a Gal-entines Day.

And so we begin the redemption of both Sonya and Richard. Of the two, I find Richard's more believable. He's not really a bad guy, but he's dealing with a lot and trying not to lose what he has. I was honestly shocked at how far Sonya was willing to go But her story was too neatly wrapped up. I like happy endings but illegally going into his phone, finding the other woman and then having her willing to come forward is too good to believe. I did like that Amy figured it, confirming that she's smart not only about medical matters. English guy and ethics: Jake was right to go with what the wife wanted. Short of a DNA test, they can't prove that Oliver isn't his son. Jake should have asked for a mental health session on how to go forward though in terms of how he will deal with the shock and his future relationships with his wife and son.. Jake and Amy continue to be cute. But she shouldn't have lied to him about when she found out about Sonya's rape. There should be an attending physician in charge (Jake is still a resident) and that is who Sonya should have gone to. She could just have said that she had a personal relationship with the patient and should not be treating him. At least Amy pulled her off of treating him on her own after the attempted retaliation. But then we wouldn't get the drahmah.

Really, the wrong time to have JJ off. If it's because of block taping, they should have written around it. Having Chase sing on Valentine's Day should lose Curtis the 'coolest club in town" designation. As Chase tearfully told Dante that he couldn't give Brook Lynn a child, i thought Hey, maybe Dante will help out and give Gio a full sibling. Willow is still angry at Brad for hurting Michael six years ago? She who is having an affair with his uncle now? Just when I think she can't be any more messed up. Is Drew living on Valentin's old house? Was Lulu this obnoxious and yes, stupid, under JMB's time? Yes, it is your job to be yelled at by the customers. Hey Dante, how about keeping other people's personal information to yourself? Brennan "I study psychology" was very wrong with his explanation of why we have dreams.

Re Robby and Collins: the charge nurse implied that they had been in a relationship once but it seemed like it was quite a while ago. Longer than 12 weeks of her pregnancy (she said that she wasn't going to tell anyone this time until she's 12 weeks along). Shortening a doctor's name is pretty common where I am, especially a more complex name like Rabinovitch. Our family doctor was always Dr.Marty. I know that ER is his specialty and not psych but I was cringing at how badly Robby handled the incel kid.
