Also, this would mean that Valerie was in on it the whole time, and lied to Abe. Oh boy. This gets complicated.

I had an absolute HOOT explaining this whole story line to my parents (who were visiting after a VERY long time, thanks to the pandemic). My father in particular was very curious about the "reformed serial killer" aspect. "I didn't know you could reform a serial killer." "Oh, you can. With medication, dad."

So, then the woman Abe thought was his daughter is actually his late wife's half sister? That's complicated, even for a soap.

Damn Benjamin, even though I loathe you, sleep with one eye open. That look Theo had at the end... Gotta love how Paulina (via anonymous tipster) solved the case. Oh, was it today or yesterday where someone hand waved away investigating another crime because the entire Salem PD was "too busy" looking for Ciara? I do really like the pairing of Gwen and Xander. They play off each other so well.

So, Ben will obviously suffer no consequences for his actions. He just gets a wedding again right away. Regardless of TWU WUV, he still kidnapped someone and held them against their will. Hell, all those times he harassed Ciara, he should have been arrested for that. Also, if the rumours are true that Paulina is Lani's mom, does this indicate Abe isn't really her father? It's probably mystery bad man from her past? Because why else would Abe mention that story to her today?

I'm just here for Marla Gibbs. Everything else is... eh.

Ciara starts to remember! Me: grabs vomit bucket. Theo's line about finding Ciara before "Ben moves her too far away from him" was pretty telling. He knows his time is limited and he was trying to get married before she remembered something. I know there was a lot of back and forth about his intentions earlier in this thread, but it's not a great look from him. Lani? Shut up. Paulina could solve the mystery of the disappearing Ciara 110 times faster than the Salem PD.

I live in B.C. and I believe most of the strict regulations are to allow the First Nations in the area access to a good supply of game/fish.

One of many, many regulations includes not using live bait. (Page 3, near the bottom under Chilko Lake). It also explains why they leave after catching 1 fish.

I've been gripping about Rose's shelter the whole time, but to hear/realize she didn't even have a fire in her shelter to keep her warmer? Look, "roughing it" to me is not having marble in the hotel bathroom, but even I would have figured that one out. Colter's boat is incredible (how has it not sprung a leak sitting on the rocks?!) and hopefully he sticks to line fishing now. (We've seen him successfully do this.) I guess Theresa's burns aren't bad enough to get pulled. Blisters rubbing up against all those layers though? Eeeeh. That can't be fun.

Oh Samantha Jean, karma is comin' and it won't be pretty. (And I generally love Sami and her shenanigans.) "No you weren't tending bar that night, the drinks weren't watered down." I love this version of Xander. I wonder where Allie was, and how she'll feel now about St. Auntie Nicole when she finds out? I had to laugh at all of the holier than thou shock at Nicole cheating from a room full of people who have cheated on their partners.

An existential crisis of self? 😉 I know you meant Max and Lewis. I'm no Lewis fan, and I definitely hold him quite responsible for that crash, but he's apparently receiving a load of racially-motivated hate online. Seriously, people?

I legit LOL'd at Xander calling out Julie for her obsession over the couch. Ben? The getting up in Ciara's face is really romantic. * eye roll * Even if she does regain her memories, I hope she realizes what a psychotic, controlling freak she did actually fall in love with, and hope right out of there.

I swear the chyrons said it was 50 pounds of meat from the deer and Biko had lost 30 pounds so far. I might be wrong on Biko, but it was definitely 50 pounds of meat. Glad Theresa got the smoke issue sorted (mostly). I'm curious to know how it works in the cold of winter when that ground will be frozen solid.

Oh 100% EJ knows about Sami and Lucas and he's playing the long game with his pity party poor husband routine. You'd think Sami would be better at catching on than this. Brady bought a backbone! Have a cookie, Brady. Loved all the Lucas snark. "Thanks for chiming in, Roman!"

Oh, I like where this is going... although Passions did it first and likely better.

I take back all the nasty things I said about the Ciara-Ben telepathic dreams, because holy sweet merciful crap... Rafe is now receiving love advice from his stuffed bear. (OK, I don't take back everything I said... because it was still atrocious.)

And you don't even have to be super famous. My high school drama teacher told us about how he was yelled at more than once by people on the street, because he portrayed a drunk driver getting pulled over in a TV commercial.

I can't believe an entire story line is being wasted on Rafe and Nicole's joke shared custody of a bear. Does Eli not have anything better to do? Jesus, what an absolute waste of about half the show today. I do appreciate we're seemingly moving on with this stupid Kate blindness bullshit.

Many good quality exercise pants will have a reinforced crotch area to help alleviate the aforementioned "toe" issues, along with simply wearing the right size. Also, there are very good seamless exercise-based thong underwear available that would help that too.

EDIT: explained above how Theo gets a vote. I completely forgot they ret-conned Lexi to be a DiMera. Shocking. Kate sided with EJ/Chad/Tony. (please don't slip on my dripping sarcasm) Well, now Jake can just move on with Gabi, right? Oh of course not. This needs to be dragged out ad nauseum.

If I am reading this correctly, it says (for region 5, where I believe Chilko Lake sits) hunting squirrels can only be done on private land.

So Freddie Smith always wears a sports coat? I also love the jumpsuit on Gabi.

So, Xander will get blamed for Snyder's death, even though Gwen and Xander could easily both say "he came over to talk to Gwen, he had a heart attack, he died." It's not like doctors (especially the medical professionals in Salem) can tell someone had a heart attack because someone was threatening them with a letter opener moments before. But no. Let's make it a thing, no doubt. I love LK, but I did not miss Kate's ridiculous, childish game today whatsoever.

That had to be a slight meta line about the "giant" townhouse that Marlena and John have? We're always joking about the seemingly never-ending expansion of that place.
