Everybody cares more about poor young Scout that her own father does. Drew is the worst.

The actor who plays Leo, Easton Rocket Swede, has autism like Leo does. It's possible the funeral scenes would have been difficult for him for a variety of reasons. I finally realized that Tajh Bellow has resting irritated face, which is unfortunate for where TJ is at the moment, as he always looks unsympathetic/annoyed wherever he is. Ditto. She's in a very awkward position through no fault of her own.

I'd really like to see Dante and the kids all have a good cry together. The kids would see it's okay to have these feelings and that adults have them as well. To cry with your family would comforting, IMO, especially as the kids are so adamant that they are a family.

Whichever kid was walking about Sam giving him and his dad a family (so, Rocco?) had the best remembrance. And the other kid's remembrance—so, Danny—was good. Jason's was so hollow-sounding, considering he dumped his family to save Carly and hers. Alexis's was pretty good. Molly and Kristina's felt a bit pro forma, telling us stuff we didn't see. Carly's and Elizabeth's were okay; at least they acknowledged things were rocky between them and Sam for quite a while. Is Giovanni Mazza on contract? If so, this feels like a minimums appearance. Lucas wasn't at the funeral because one of the boys yelled at him for killing Sam and Lucas decided his presence would only upset everyone. The flashbacks with Sam and Sonny were really gross. Again, I'm really bummed nuLulu didn't stagger into the church: "I'm alive!"

Because Drew knows how much he hates Jason. You could see Ric practically licking his chops at the thought of going after Jason.

His hatred of Sonny and Jason is well-known and accurately portrayed. They're ramping up the animosity between him and Alexis, and on the PC scale of deadbeat dads, he's not high on the list. There were mentions of Molly talking to him regularly and going out to LA to visit him.

Danny has blue eyes and a shaggy haircut. Rocco has brown hair and brown eyes and a deeper voice. Thank you, @YaddaYadda, but I'll never know who's who. I am okay with this.

Seeing Danny and Rocco together still doesn't help me tell them apart. I have face blindness with those boys, LOL. Since when is Bobbie's known for its pie? I'm curious how Drew will be there for Scout when she lives in Port Charles and he was elected to Congress, which operates out of D.C. Will he be the first permanent WFH representative? NGL, I'm really bummed she didn't stagger into the church: "I'm alive!"

Sonny rarely does the dirty work himself. It was remarkable that he actually murdered Jagger.

If someone decides to freeze the world again, she'll be the go-to expert.

For some reason Tollhouse semisweet chips don't work for me anymore, and until I found Guittard chocolate, I was using their milk chocolate chips in my cookies. It's a different flavor, but I liked the change of pace. I always feel that the M&M recipe writes a check the cookies can't cash. They always disappoint me. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe that I prefer peanut M&Ms and that's kind of a problem in the cookie.

The interwebs tell me Giovanni Mazza is 5'9", so he's probably an inch or two shorter. Eden McCoy is 5'7" (short for a volleyball player [which she no longer is, it seems], but not absurdly so).

Tanisha Harper didn't have chemistry with Réal Andrews or Donnell Turner either. I think this might happen. It keeps Lucky in PC but allows him to gallivant around the world being "useful." LOL that Sonny would like Lucky to stick around because he needs a sparring partner. Trina would be more effective. No cliffhanger of any sort. Huh.

Not to mention she gave birth through a pair of pants. Endometriosis is nothing!

No, Baxter was elected by the people of New York City. The mayor and the DA always have some interaction, since there's often a political element in criminal cases.

I doubt Michael (or the writers) remember that. Besides, Michael is his parents' son: He demands loyalty but reciprocation is optional.

You can be in control and still hurt someone. If Jason really didn't want to cause pain, he wouldn't have kept punching Drew. Who else is there? Pickings are extremely slim.

I was kind of on Price's side here. The student visa was tied to her being a current student, and the university said it would expel demonstrators. He was right that she made a choice to participate. She knew the risks. I'm sorry it ended up with her likely deportation, but don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Heh. I was relieved there was no chase this episode. And for once the detectives split up instead of both running the same way.

In the bar-fight video, Cody spilled that Drew had kissed Willow while banging her mom, so it's more than just a kiss. They're still overreacting—let Drew hang!

ooh what happened there? Ned asked Michael what he expected to happen when he told Jason about Willow cheating with Drew, since Jason is one to react physically. Michael spluttered that he didn't mean for that to happen. It wasn't much, but it's always gratifying to watch someone dress down Michael. It doesn't happen nearly as often as it should.

So lame that Jason beats up Drew. Michael is an adult. (Allegedly.™Silas Clay forever.) Let him deal with his cheating wife by himself. Good for Ned for giving Michael what-for. How adult is he being when he tap-dances around the real issue: Willow sleeping with Drew? Will his demands for her honesty be reciprocated? Somehow I doubt it. They are such dolts. "Molly and I, we waited so long to be parents." You waited a year, max, TJ. That's hardly eons. Ugh, this story. LOL at Kristina's "the truth is on my side. Of course Ava will go down!" I liked how Alexis side-eyed her as she got increasingly unrealistic about her expectations. And what about Sonny murdering John Cates? He should skate because he was mean to Sonny?

Michael is SUCH a wienie. He's as interesting as Lois when he is on. I can't believe how they're squandering him and stories for Lucky.

It cracks me up that Jason has become the town agony aunt. First Diane, now Michael. Who's next, Carly whining about how Brennan is using her? Sonny wondering if Noted Bigot Natalia is contrite enough about her noted bigotry? I think we have to forget Billy Miller's Drew. He was a completely different person from the scumbag we see on the screen today.

There was an election in Port Charles? I didn't need to see it, but there was no mention it happened. LOL that Nina says Drew has to do it all over again in four years. Does no one on staff know the Constitution? Do I feel sorry for Michael? Not one iota. Of course Willow has no idea of the new nanny cam. (I can see her and Drew being careless enough to fuck in the nursery even if she did.) Yes, Willow knows Drew so well to know he was thinking about Sam after his victory. I dislike the Curtises enough that I'm glad to see the smug wiped off their faces, even if it's by scumbag Drew. I don't care that this makes me a petty bitch. I see the rehab of Noted Bigot Natalia continues. It will never be complete for me until everyone stops blaming Ava for the release of the tape. Kristina, go back to your foundation. Why is that not an option? I don't care how many times the show tries to tell me: Jason was not forced to stay away from Port Charles and his family.

She was also in Texas forever taking care of Mariah. I don't think that should be held against her.
