Billy's hella insecure all of a sudden, running around asking everybody if they missed him. He was gone for what, one or two days? Boy, bye. Faith, Lucy, the reason you don't have a date to the prom is because you dress weird. Maybe you should get your aunt Summer to hook you up with a stylist who specializes in teenagers. Aw, Lily. You've been around the block enough times to know better. Even if you've been given a key, don't let yourself into someone's home unannounced. Not unless you're willing to risk walking in on something you'd rather you hadn't. So, the whole point of the Sturm und Drang at the Newman ranch seemed to be to prop Victor in his absence. Michael was almost running out of ways to praise Victor. Ugh. Then Cole turned the attention to himself, perhaps so Victoria would feel compelled to comfort him. I see you, Cole. Michael noticed too. Adam and Sally were spending most of their date at Society propping Victor too. KMN. And speaking of Society, did anyone bother to tell Abby what was going on with her father? Lol, Chance standing there watching Devon and Billy go back and forth at each other like he was following the volleys at a tennis match. Heather. Staring right at Lily without an ounce of shame. "Yes, this is exactly what it looks like, Lily. Sucks to be you." Cold. Blooded. Whoo chile, Chance was not here for Billy and Devon's continued corporate spatting. He basically called them both Petty Bettys. You go, Chance! All handsome in your suit and topcoat. Victoria: Michael, stop trying to play matchmaker between me and Cole. The last thing I need or want right now is a relationship. Cole: <listening in from the hallway> well, we'll see about that, missy. Wait until you take a gander of these big sandwiches. You'll swoon. Wait, what? Daniel told Lily he had only cheated on her with Heather one time. Technically, I guess, if he thinks cheating means nothing but full-on sexual intercourse. Ehhh. Seriously, Michael? Victor won't be pleased if Nikki starts drinking again from all the worry? She had vodka forcibly mainlined into her veins. Recovery will take her months if not years. IMO Victor should twirl his controlling expectations around his left thumb and stick it where the sun don't shine. 🤬 Billy, you cannot be for real with this wisdom of Solomon nonsense. Split the baby--Chancellor-Winters--in half? JILL, COME GET YOUR SON! Good job, Daniel. It wasn't enough to break Lily's heart, you had to throw Devon under the bus too. Ugh, you're so awful. Hmm, I'm afraid Nate might be working Chance. Bye, Jordan. <fingers crossed>

I interpreted what happened differently, and I stand by my interpretation. Mileage varies.

Huh, I've been thinking it was coke. He doesn't really sniff much though. 🤔 (Seriously though, I hope JEP is okay.) Yeah, no one should be afraid to let their freak flag fly. 😏 ^^^All this. I think Nikki only gives Claire a pass because they share DNA. AFAIC Claire and Adam should realize they're both always going to be the highly-educated outsiders and unite to take over NE. Summer looked more satisfied than she has in years. I ain't mad at her.

Sun's out, guns out. How you doin', Chance? 😋 What the what were those boots Nikki had on? OMG, no. Nanook of the North you are not, Nik. Victor had nerves of steel to be able to drive with a gun pointed at him from the passenger seat. Jordan sure was running her mouth about the whole ugly saga between her, Claire, and the Newmans. For all she knew Victor was using the car's recording function via Bluetooth. Not smart. Phyllis in those ridiculously gigantic shades. Drama queen. 🙄 Not sure why Michael needed to tell the Newmans Jordan was holding Victor hostage. Not yet anyway. IMO all it was going to do was make them feel mostly helpless. Lol, the look on Billy's face when he realized Chance had gotten him some Summer last night. And this morning. 🥳 Yep, Chance cracked Billy's face like a pro. "Nobody missed you, Billy. Sorry not sorry." Adam bringing the real talk regarding Claire. It'll be amazing if he turns out to be right about her and she is playing the Newmans again. (I'd rather Claire and Adam become partners in crime though.) Jordan made the classic Bond villain mistake: wasting time taunting instead of just getting on with it. She was done in by her own yappy mouth. Shut up, Billy. I'm looking forward to the day Chance is running the Chancellor empire and you're the one who has to fall in line. Finally, JG. Use of GPS tracking could've ended this Jordan b.s. months ago. Yeesh.

Still catching up on the episodes: E4 Pretty, pretty, pretty cute. Butter is okay but the eggs have to be organic? The butter was probably not organic if Larry didn't specifically ask. Leon didn't know what a urologist was. Corn chips on the cob. That'd be like a baked potato stuffed with potato chips. Guess LD doesn't think much of therapists. BDE now means Big Disgruntled Energy. Good to know. E5 Only Larry would raid the refreshments at an AA meeting. Richard Lewis looked so small and frail. Remarkable that he was able to keep working. OMG, Larry asking the gay guys whose semen they were going to use for the surrogacy. Not hate speech, just strong dislike speech. A suede do-rag. How long would that even work if Leon would likely sweat in it? Nice callback to the expensive suede jacket Jerry bought and then got caught in snowfall while wearing it. Cheryl, meh. I'm surprised LD kept her on the show. Lol, everybody hates Larry. New on CBS!

None of those kids knew who Bradley Cooper was. Ouch. And I didn't know he was from Philadelphia. He was a timely get for Quinta. Goshdarnit, Barbara's clouds and Melissa's meatballs. Willard Rashid Abbott or Willard Racist Abbott? Gregory and Janine: Like a handsome moth to a cutie patootie flame. Willie R. Abbott V, Flat Earther. Yikes. Didn't anyone just sit down and have a chat with the guy beforehand? Seems like those views would've been exposed fairly quickly.

Good grief, will this GC day ever end? Nick out drinking alone instead of staying at home with his young child. Great dad. 😒 Phyllis took out her hair extensions and laid them on the public bar. Ew. You have no idea, Claire. Since the last time you saw Nikki she's had a panic attack; gotten Jack out of bed to come over immediately; gone to an AA meeting to rant; and then, returned to the ranch nice and refreshed. All in the space of an hour. $10 million! A new identity and passport! A chateau in the south of France! Man, talk about being rewarded for bad behavior. Jordan will be literally making out like a bandit, lol. Whoa, Nikki's big hair back in the day! Oh please, I doubt Victor was giving young Nikki the My Fair Lady treatment out of the goodness of his heart. He remade her into the model high society wife he wanted and thought he deserved. She was simply pliable enough to let him do it. Aw, Phyllis hadn't changed after all because it was too hard! Poor baby. So Victor gets to decide that Jordan doesn't have to go to prison for her crimes. What is this world? Nick had to have known Phyllis would jump his bones if he went up to her suite. I think being dumped by Danny rendered Red both horny and desperate for an ego boost. Bada$$ man in black Victor staring down a gun as if he's bulletproof. If ever there was moment for some Nike product placement, it's now. Just do it, Jordan. 🤠

Allegedly the people at CBS are largely left over from when Les Moonves was running the network. He's the one who had to leave because his long history of sexually harassing, assaulting, and otherwise mistreating female employees was publically exposed. There used to be a woman specifically in charge of the daytime programming and presumbably that person ran interference to keep the worst of the toxic stuff off the soaps. Now the bts word is that Sony is deeply involved in both soaps, to the point of tweaking dialogue and the daily progression of storylines. If all that's true, CBS and Sony aren't sanctioning what's going on, they're pretty much causing it. It'll be telling what happens with the new soap opera in development at CBS.

I've read elsewhere that it was two cats. First there was an animatronic one, and then later a puppet that didn't appear until near the end when you could see the arm sticking out of the sofa.

Scarlett Johansson cameo for the cold open. Well, at least she had the look. I didn't watch the original speech so I don't know how good SJ's impression was. Guess everyone who watched the SOTU rebuttal is now in the sunken place. Rawdogging a plane flight. Yikes. Ariana Grande has better comedic chops than I expected. The animatronic cat was awful (and a slut). But I know using a real cat probably would've been impossible unless it was drugged. Just threatening to knock over a shrimp tower is a death sentence. Seems reasonable to me. I didn't hate the first song Ariana performed. It wasn't the one I've been hearing nonstop on the radio lately. Who was guy they showed making snow angels with her, was it her married boyfriend? At least it wasn't her shamelessly clout-chasing brother. WU: Oh yeah, Scarlett had the demeanor down pat. Al Sharpton is MLK Jr on Ozempic. Humpback Mountain. That joke was popular this week. Wonder how much Mike Tyson is being paid to take a fall for Jake Paul? Arby's is into cannibalism and necrophilia. Sounds about right. The Moulin Rouge sketch was weird but it gave Ariana the opportunity to hit those octaves she's famous for. Bowen was the perfect scene partner for her. Josh reciting the lyrics to Lady Marmalade word-for-word with a straight face was brilliant. Was that Ariana singing the Barbie song during the sub sandwich sketch? Look at her stepping on Billie Eilish's style. Bold choice when Billie may be about to win an Oscar for the song. Negrodivergent. Bowen completely on broke that one. Did Ego ad lib it? Over on reddit they thought it was big deal that Josh kissed ScarJo on the mouth during the signoff. Apparently doing that in front of her husband is a power move? I dunno, she could've turned her head. Josh was great. He clearly doesn't take himself too seriously and was energetically game. Ariana was fine too.

Hey, there's plenty of women at C-W: They have Esther the part-time C-suite receptionist. She shows up occasionally to give advice no one asked for, on matters which are either none of her business or beyond her knowledge. Heather, a veteran attorney in both GC and Portugal, is on the C-W legal team. (Though she may be looking for a new job soon after Lily finds out what Heather's been up to with Lily's boyfriend.) Lily is the co-CEO but who knows how much longer that'll last. Her ex- boyfriend and temp co-CEO Billy has been getting rather problematic lately, and Mamie's stirring up a counteroffensive. And then there's Abby, restauranteur and new C-W board member whose qualifications mostly = Devon's life partner and baby mama. Frankly I think a woman with true C-suite credentials would look at the messiness of C-W and give it a hard pass. Hard.

A) Victor was lying to his sweetheart whose name can't remember, or B) during the call to Asia he needed to reference documents which were only at the office, or C) Victor assumes Nikki is stupid. See A above. So that's why Victor's taking Michael with him to meet with Jordan. I figured it was to use Michael as a human shield since in the previews we see Jordan pointing a gun at them. Hope Michael's wearing a Kevlar vest under his coat because so far Victor's plans to stop Jordan have 100% failed.

Tucker, my guy, like Nikki you need to learn how to use the block function on your phone. Stop taking Ashley's calls! Victor's crack security team strikes again. How could a guard mistake Tessa for Jordan? Jordan must have 30 years on Tessa. Yeesh. All of a sudden Mariah and Tessa are talking themselves out of staying in the Tack House. Meh, their living on the Newman ranch never did make sense to me. Guess that's another set about to be retired. Oy, I think Nikki's monologue at the AA meeting had Emmy bait written all over it. Some of that stuff she said, Nikki probably shouldn't have been sharing while Jordan is on the loose and her crimes are still active police cases. Audra in another black outfit. Hmm. Calling Connor's psychologist! (Dr. Alcott of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois 😏) Sounds like Ashley has a touch of the OCD too. She's decided she and Tucker are going to remarry? I didn't realize Victor actually got rid of all the booze in the house. I thought he had only locked it away. What about his special reserve tequila? Paris is one direct flight across the Atlantic. Audra making such a big deal about it doesn't jibe with her established personality to me. Besides, Ashley could follow her and Tucker to France. <shrugs> Re the previews: TMW your girlfriend shows up by surprise while you're having a cozy dinner with your daughter and the ex you've been screwing. Fasten your seatbelt, Daniel. Update your resume, Heather.

Lol, Phyllis will never live that down. Frankly I was surprised Jordan didn't run into Red in the alley after Danny basically told her to go eff herself.

If you have a library card, check to see if your library has access to Hoopla. Hoopla provides ebooks, audiobooks, digital versions movies and TV shows, graphic novels and comics, and music. Hoopla has the whole Wool series of books and that's where I was able to read the ones the first season of Silo was based on. Note: Silo's first season is based on the first three Wool books. ETA: jinx!

Right? Plus she's been carrying a bag with whole changes of clothes, jackets, wigs, and hats. How has she lugging that around all over town? Geez, I think Jordan needs to be the next new MCU or DCU villain because she has superhuman powers apparently. Yeah, I was trying not to notice their chemistry. I like them both but I think Chance is not Amanda's speed. And I was surprised at how effusive Nina was toward Amanda. I didn't realize she knew Amanda like that.

So, Victor, I guess you owe Victoria a new house now. 😱 Who does Abby think she is dropping in on Tucker late at night, uninvited? Not sure what Abby hoped to accomplish by yelling wild accusations at Tucker. As far as he should be concerned, it's the same old, same old from her. Abby has never liked Tucker, to put it mildly. Sigh, Victor. He just couldn't allow for the possibility his flawless plan to catch Jordan was full of flaw. And now poor Victoria, Katie, and Johnny have lost their home. Thanks a lot, Grandpa! Oh, okay, Abby has decided GC isn't big enough for her, Devon, Dominic, Ashley, and Tucker. Tucker is banished! Bah, go home Abby. You're not helping. Whoa, Ashley heard those voices in her head again and she visibly shifted into something else. Her face and demeanor changed. 😯 Wonder how long it'll take for Jack to figure out what's going on with Ashley. She switches personalties almost before his eyes. Oh FFS, Devon and Abby at the GCAC hashing out the Tucker drama AGAIN, like neither of them has bigger menace to deal with. O hai Mamie. Of course Victor rendered himself blameless for triggering Jordan to burn down Victoria's house. But why is it even up to him to catch Jordan? Seems to me the feds would be in charge of the manhunt now. She's committed a string of major felonies across at least two states, and what Victor's doing is vigilante b.s. Looks like Diane has about had it with Jack playing hero for Ashley and Nikki. Why does he have to go to Nikki whenever she calls? I don't think that's expected AA sponsor behavior. Hmm.

Danny taking Christine to his date with Phyllis. This m.f.-er. Officer Padilla, just because someone says something that doesn't mean it's true. Guess you missed police academy class the day they taught about how perps might try to deflect attention. AYFKMWTS? Victor telling the police how to do their jobs. Why should they take DNA and fingerprints just because he says so? Ofc. Padilla should've called in a detective to deal with Victor. Yes, Claire is already figuring Newman stuff out just from scanning the family photos on display in the ranch living room. She and her new uncle Adam will talk eventually, and I can hardly wait. Shut up, Danny. Your scam only works when you don't have to talk to your marks at the same time. Like The Offspring sang, 🎶you gotta keep 'em separated🎶. That said, Christine did look kind of pathetic to me, hanging on to Danny's arm for dear life. Sigh. Aw, yiss. Chance up in Summer's suite being all roguish and flirty. Go get it, playboy! I don't understand why Claire was wasting her time trying to counter Jordan's insane line of attempted reasoning. Oh yeah, because Victor decided to use his granddaughter as bait. 🤬 Ehh, was not a fan of the song playing as Summer and Chance finally got nekkid and took things to bed. IMO it was bland like elevator music. I would've gone with something steamier, say, classic Chaka Khan. Wonders never cease. Danny grew a teenie tiny pair and walked away from Phyllis. Geez, who leaves a jug of gasoline sitting in the alley behind their building? That was trouble waiting to happen even if Jordan hadn't discovered it. WHY WAS CHRISTINE APOLOGIZING TO THAT JERK? Girrrlll, no. Danny's the one who should be making the mea culpas. 😡 Here we go. Phyllis is going to pull another revenge scheme on Christine. Yawn. Victoria's house is on fire. This is my shocked face. Hey, Victor, dontcha love it when a plan comes together? 🙄

Hey, y'all. Did you know today, March 5, is Multiple Personality Day? Per the linked article: Too bad they didn't have Ashley on today. Lately she seems like she could use a multicolored awareness ribbon. (FYI: Every time I read something on the "National Today" site it feels like it was written by AI. I have to believe a human being would not have been callous enough to compare the DID awareness day ribbon to a crazy quilt.)

Ehh, I did not like hearing Mamie use the word "grooming" in reference to Chance, as if she's decided he has no right to personal agency. Hush, you presumptuous old biddy. "C-suite players can be just as slippery as criminals." Oh, Chance, you sweet summer child. Some of those C-suite types actually are criminals, including your uncle mentor Billy. Uh oh, not sure Seth should've spilled the beans to "Isabel" that he knew who she really was. He took away the Newman's element of surprise against Jordan. But Nina, probably in any company Chance might move to he'd encounter office politics, especially in GC and with his last name. Chancellors have been deep in the business mix ever since Chance's ancestor founded the city. Amanda walked into C-W and Mamie puffed up like a cat, lol. Auntie didn't really know who she was dealing with but Devon and Nate sure did, ha ha. Wait, was Seth going rogue? I didn't think the plan was for him to get Jordan to go meet with Nikki and Victor. They don't want Jordan anywhere near them. Wow, I guess the dive bar must be near Rexx Ruggs. Poor Seth. Jordan lies like she breathes. Yeah, she better hope the car that hit Seth didn't have a dashboard camera because she clearly pushed him into its path. I enjoyed Nate and Devon's scenes today. What is this world?! 🤯 Mamie, YOU are the source of the C-W infighting! Everything has to be torn apart because of you? FOH. Jordan was practically orgasmic when she was putting on her gray beret. What the heck was the hat made of, ambrosia and nectar? Aw, Seth. Gone too soon. Bad cop. She should not have been spreading unverified information about Seth's death, especially over the phone. Hope Nikki doesn't blame herself for Seth's untimely demise and start hitting the vodka again.

Hey, it's Connor, finally. He looked a lot taller to me. If only Christine could see Danny for what he actually is. IMO she should be like Frozen's Elsa and let it go. Pshht, Phyllis has reached a new level of nutbaggery if she believes Abby owes her any favors. "...Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois." A school no one has ever heard of. 🙄 Seriously? I think Dr. Alcott lowkey insulted Chelsea by being so specific about her education, lol. Shut up, shut up, shut up, Billy! You are not the expert on parenting. Danny was working Christine like a pro. Oh noes, he's leaving in two weeks for his world tour! Gee, what world will the tour be on, Danny, Neptune? Here on Earth there are these newfangled things called cars, airplanes, and telephones which would make distance largely irrelevant if you truly want to be with Christine. Ugh. Sure, Billy, your off-and-on therapy was working real well when you basically showed Chelsea how she could unalive herself from the roof of a tall building. Stop trying to make Adam the 3rd wheel in the situation with Connor. It's you! But Danny, you ARE forcing Christine to compete with Phyllis. You're making Christine prove she's willing to play 100% by your rules regardless of the cost to her self-respect. Jerk. Sigh, Abby, why would you let Phyllis guilt you into giving into her absurd demand to commandeer Society for her date? Whhhyyy? And there's the PSA on OCD. Meh. The audience never saw any indication of OCD-related behavior in Connor. We were just told out of the blue about various things happening off-camera and then presto, Connor received an instant diagnosis. I'm thinking the show should've gone with Autism Spectrum Disorder instead but maybe that's too controversial.

Me too. In fact I was hoping Y&R would end this year to top off the 50th anniversary. The four-year renewal decision is nuts. I guess CBS is still determined to have the last daytime soap standing on broadcast TV and apparently ABC/GH aren't blinking. Meanwhile, Y&R just looks cheaper and cheaper, with shrinking sets and GC days which last a week or more to stretch the wardrobe budget. It's sad to watch happen. Yeah and I think that's intentional. When Sally arrived GC already had two prominent redheads, Phyllis and Lauren (three if you count Mariah). IMO Sally's affected hair color helped to distinguish her. It must take a lot of upkeep though, and I wonder how it'll look 10 or 20 years from now.

Cold open: interesting take on Gavin Newsom. I would've gone with one of the guys who doesn't seem so scrawny in a suit. Ego's WH press secretary needed a better wig. Marcello's Mayorkas looked like Lex Luthor to me. Loved Devon Walker's Draymond Green energy. I barely remembered Sydney Sweeney from White Lotus. She's sure got that body-ody-ody, and has a sense of humor about it. The PDD sketch was weird but Chef Boyardee got some primo product placement. Suggested bestiality involving teenaged girls. WTAF, SNL. Judge Woof was on point. Gina Gershon. Random. Wait, I thought "PrEP" was only for protection against HIV, not pregnancy or other STIs. Straight Bowen is looking for trouble in more ways than one. Does Kacey Musgraves usually perform barefoot? From a distance she sort of resembled a younger Mariska Hargitay. WU: Colin might want to double-check the definition of the word "coincidence." Saw that woman's age as a speed limit joke on reddit earlier in the week. The Women's History Month joke has been everywhere, probably ever since the month-long celebration was first created. SNL's writers must have been extremely hard up for WU content this week. Che accused of fathering the stingray babies. Ew. Ego went all in with that insane costume though. The Hooters Guy was also wearing pantyhose. Had to appreciate the authenticity. Sydney was okay. She was game and didn't mind being the butt of a joke, but had too much trouble reading the cue cards. Not sure she's suited for live sketch comedy. Yeah, that mess deserved its own sketch. Unbelievable.

Good Lord, those church ladies would make Satan think twice. Jacob definitely knows how to take passive aggression to the next level. Melissa ain't loyal. Okay, now I get the "Fleabag with an F" burn. I didn't see Zach as turning psycho so much as simply not taking the breakup well because he's hypersensitive. Jacob was aware of it and was wrong to use that aspect of Zach's personality against him IMO. Huh, I connected "bamboozled" to the wrong Spike Lee movie, especially since comparisons have been made recently between Bamboozled and American Fiction.

Hey, it's Nina. I liked the coffee carafe on Christine and Nina's table at Society. Unfortunately the googles have not revealed to me yet who sells it. Nikki looking chic in monochromatic red. Her bright outfit went well with the humongous bouquet of flowers Seth sent. Forget the en suite and sauna, Claire. You need to find out when your new grandpa gives you your Newman trust fund and your own horse. Christine, Nina was giving you some real talk. Maybe you really should take time to get over your divorce from Paul. At least before you spin your wheels trying to compete with Phyllis for fickle Danny. Phyllis is straight-up delusional. Those simpering looks she kept giving Danny, despite him telling Phyllis he wasn't interested in her romantically, were ridiculous. Yikes, Nikki's coat. Ruined the whole color-coordinated vibe for me. 😖 So Seth had no idea his new pal "Isabel" was Jordan, the woman who's been terrorizing Nikki for months. Hmm. Clueless much, former AA sponsor Seth? Man, IMO Nikki tearing down Seth's whole fantasy about his fake bestie Isabel was a thing of beauty. Being sober seems to have cleared Nik's thought processes. I think Danny's an idiot. He had to have known Phyllis was scheming to seduce him before her perceived rival Cricket got some. Aging wannabe player douchebag is a douchebag. 👿 Re the previews: the slow burn may be finally ending. Looked like Chance is about to let Summer get up on it. Yay!
