That was so weird. Did she not push the plunger on the syringe? I was waiting for Brick to call Isaiah the digitalis whisperer. Like how do you know Sonny is fine, Brick? You didn’t even turn his monitors back on. I haven’t been very impressed with Gio’s actor, but he did surprisingly well today. Jane Elliott has done wonders to his performance.

lol, I also noticed he only thought about his beloved family members who were already appearing in today’s episode. Avery, Michael, Michael’s spawn, and Morgan aren’t getting any residuals for this one.

Cody is such a useless character but he has great natural chemistry with pretty much everyone he interacts with. I wish they’d figure out how to make him interesting. Speaking of pointless, why is Donna? She’s completely interchangeable with Avery, and I think even Carly forgets she’s her mother 99.9985% of the time.

Yay! Another project they’ll pretend never existed before next year! What happened to Rey’s new movie? Has that one already been shelved?

I’m not particularly a fan, but they just missed out on Billy Flynn, too, who just jumped ship from Days to Y&R.

IIRC Abbott was the exception to the “no cheering for non-Russians” rule because they felt so bad for his slap fest.

Time for important questions: which soundtrack will skaters hyper fixate on next year now that they’ve got Dune out of their systems. My money is on Wicked.

It’s devastating because I really wanted to see Torgy succeed, but Ilia and Jason have been keeping US men’s figure skating afloat this quad. Jason deserves the Olympic slot he’ll likely get, and I hope they give him the SP for the Team Event so he can bring home another Olympic medal. He’s earned it.

Grad school? Kid is old enough to be a tenured professor!

To set expectations, I believe most of the “older skaters” (including Nathan Chen) only introduce the currently competitive skaters.

Nationals is going to be intense next year. Alysa will have the shield of being the “reigning World Champion” but Amber and Isabeau are going to have to fend off Sarah Everhardt. And Bradie Tennell isn’t completely out yet if she has a strong Grand Prix.

Holy shit Alysa Liu!

Okay, but how did Rick back out of the parking spot, traverse the parking garage, and drive city streets without realizing his breaks were cut. Why did the breaks wait until he reached highway speeds before giving out? (Also why were they on the highway? Doesn’t Elizabeth live in a walk up brownstone? I’d think she’d live a few local roads from Ava’s apartment complex.

What I find more shocking is China didn’t have any entries for Pairs. Didn’t they use to dominate that event?

And that late-90s size XXXL men’s fashion.

I was thinking the same thing for Alysa. Every time she does her SP it is a moment. Like Mariah Bell doing Hallelujah.

Was able to follow along on Peacock this afternoon. The final group really struggled (except for Isabeau.) I’m glad Amber was able to hold it together after she fell on the 3A. With Sakamoto’s mistake, I think the podium is still pretty open. Alysa has struggled with her long program (and will be skating with her peer group this time) and Isabeau has pretty much missed the whole season, so they’re still wild cards. Congrats to both of them for doing so well in the SP! The ladies are right on track for the Top 10 placements they need to clench the 3 spots for the Olympics AND are serious podium contenders!

It was made clear that Brennan will never know what it’s like to have a child and he responded with a very meaningful silence.

Ugh, it’s Vaughn isn’t it. I get that there are some international courts that would like to get their hands on him, but, like he just poisoned someone in Port Charles. Maybe they approved of him being extradited and will wait their turn to convict. Bank of Tracy is always the answer.

His hair did look voluminous and clean today though, which was kind of hilarious, like he finally had access to Elizabeth’s miracle haircare routine.

The text was so weird, like Lucky and Kristina were up to some shady shenanigans and not that Kristina had lost her keys and was desperate to overshare with Lucky. I do love JJs “please confide in anyone but me” reactions though.

For someone who carries around Jason’s memories like a detailed Wikipedia page, I can’t fathom why he’d ever do this to Lila. Even from the perspective of a sleazy politician, digging up the beloved town matriarch is such a terrible idea.

She was doing this before anyone knew she was knocked up. I remember a scene in the Q kitchen after the nanny cam footage was shown where she was gossiping with Brook Lynn and Chase over desserts.

Like geez, refer to him as “my father” or even his preferred pronouns every now and then. Poppa has become nails on a chalkboard because she repeats it a billion times per scene. Yuri was having so much fun! I keep on forgetting that Kristina is both Rocco’s and Danny/Scout’s aunt. Speaking of which, even Kristina, who I can’t stand, has better chemistry with Isaiah than Jordan. Now that Ava has delivered a promo worthy “Drew has it coming to him” speech, I think we’re finally getting to the whodunnit.

Lucky is more or less shacking up with Elizabeth at this point, so space would be freeing up. This will bring the most drama. Plus, Charlotte and Danny might be distantly related enough (Alexis and Valentin are cousins) to pair them up for the “I can’t believe you fell for my sister!” of it all.
