I hope the show throws me a bone and has Adam Chandler as the original complainant. He's smart enough to connect the dots and screwing over Carly on behalf of Skye is a sweet, sweet bonus.

We'll probably end up with Wes Ramsey or someone from OLTL.

Hopefully, Jack follows up with, "I've got it! There's this televangelist on TV . . . Well, the problem is you actually committed insider trading."

Have they even had a public date? Has Dex done anything for her that required as much effort as his date with Sonny?

Is Kelly still in business? It's one and only employee went to Stanford.

We know this series had a lot of rewriting and reshoots so I wonder if Nadia and Mason being married was in an early version and that detail just didn't get fixed in the rewrites/reshoots. Especially if the only reference to it is in the last episode, the producers may have decided it wasn't worth the extra time and money to reshoot that scene between Mason and his mother or to re-edit that Declassified episode. I caught Mason referring to Nadia as his wife but I assume that was just how he felt about her.

They should also write her as having PTSD from Heather and Ryan - she was genuinely horrified by Ryan's murdering and terrified throughout. Kevin, the only sane biological relative she knows, has been missing from this story. Esme is Ryan's daughter and his niece and there should be story in Kevin trying to help Esme since his attempts with Ryan were spectacular failures.

As much as I hate turning Nina's womb into a clown car, I would be okay with making Cody her son. Maybe he'll stop whining about how life done him wrong and his inheritance being given away to save the whales.

The Deceptor sounds like fake boobs - something to stuff into your bra to give your cleavage some oomph.

The more Dex talks the more I'm convinced he was forced out of the military for being an idiot.

I think the rumors are that LC is having health issues which is why she's mentioned but never seen.

For those who aren't familiar with the show, Cruel Summer is an anthology show so you can jump in this season and without having seen season one. I watched the show earlier this year and I really enjoyed it. The premise of the show is that it's about the same characters on the same day over a span of three years. The first show covered 1993-1994. The show was pretty good with helping the viewer distinguish each year - mostly through clothing, haircuts, and filters/lighting - so I never found myself confused over which year we were in. The first season also alternated POV between the two main character every other episode.

Bobbie/Stefan needed and should have played out for a few more years. I also always liked Bobbie's interaction with Nikolas and wish that friendship had been able to develop into a deeper level - she could have helped fill that mother shaped hole in his life and Laura and Luke could have been respectively envious and enraged by it.

Dex only has to fear Michael if he's slept with him. Death is still coming for Sasha - it already got her baby and husband and Willow has been on knocking on its door for months.

They're acting like this is a he said/she said situation when there is a literal paper trail of Carly's transactions, the timing, and the fact Carly had never bought individual stocks before or since. Also, there is a paper trail of Carly selling her half of the Metrocourt and using that money to buy stock. I bet there is also an email where Carly tells the buyer she intends to buy back her half of the hotel. The conclusion is practically jumping into the SEC's face, waving its hands, and screaming.

Jason Q wakes up from his decades long coma. Jason's recovery is spent separating fact from his coma dreams - he was never a mob hitman (one of his private nurses really loved The Sopranos and would watch it while she was on duty) nor did he ever have a twin brother (another nurse was a big fan of One Life to Live). His brother AJ has been sober for decades and writes mystery thrillers while little sister Emily has been married and divorced five times (three of those times to the same man). Carly is a former nurse who was let go for being incompetent and tried to kidnap him for ransom. Moss has been by Jason's side for nearly 10 years being decorative and calming.

It'd be hilarious if the initial tip off was a random shareholder (maybe an Adam Chandler shout out) who got mad about losing money and sicced the SEC on Carly. It's not like Carly was smart enough to try and hide her activities through shell companies or proxies.

The Savoy can have open mike night and Cam and Chase can each sing a song. That'll burn about six minutes.

Michael has his Q trust fund and Carly has money from Sonny - there's no way he's not paying a generous amount of child support. Carly was never going to end up on the streets - her kids or ex-husbands would made sure of that.

Isn't the SEC lawyers and accountants? They're not the type of agency to have agents that carry weapons or chase criminals. I assume if they do need to get handcuffs on someone they contact the FBI. Why do I keep trying to apply logic to any of this?

He's like that villian from Tomorrow Never Dies who wanted to start a nuclear war to generate rating for his cable news network. No one in that movie ever asked the obvious, "Do you really think people are going to watch your cable channel in the midst of a nuclear winter?"

Will Lipton's song "Darling Darling" was nominated for Original Song. It's the song Cam sang at Trina's party.

A merger between ELQ and Aurora doesn't even make sense. I always got the sense ELQ was a holding company with subsidiaries in manufacturing and shipping and was a much bigger company in terms of profit and product/services. How would a merger with a media company even work?

I would like for AJ to have another kid but I do not want it to be Dex. AJ deserves to have a son who doesn't constantly look like he's wondering if 2+2=4 then how can 3+1 also be 4?

Maybe Dex's dim bulb will flash for a brief second and he'll realize he's guilty of at least covering up a murder and whatever other crimes he's committed since joining the organization and "I was working undercover to expose him" is not the get out of jail free card he and Michael seem to think it is. Also, Luke despised Carly and if there was a fire and Carly and Elizabeth were unconscious I have no doubt Luke would throw Liz onto his arthritic back and haul her out of there without a moment of "I can only save one! Who should it be?" So Carly and her children are NOT Spencers and no amount of lip service is going to convince me otherwise.
