Hey, Tucker! 🥰🤗 An old-fashioned can opener. Huh. You'd think Claire would've only provided Nikki cans with pull-tab lids. Whatever, I'm impressed fancy Mrs. Newman still knew what a can opener was. Jill certainly took the news of Mamie and Tucker's joint financial forays into C/W with good humor. I don't know about Audra and Tucker sitting in the middle of the GCAC dining room scheming. They might as well have been doing a live webcast. Pshht, Victor accusing Vikki of bringing her personal business into the office was rich given what he just pulled with his fake illness. I guess he only meant romantic stuff but she's been doing that for decades, and so have Nick, Adam, and Nikki. Whatever, Victor. 🙄 Claire's a nutbag out for revenge for things which happened eons ago. Check. JG must have a basic storyline he simply recycles by changing the name of the villain. Victor, your oldest daughter is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. She has plenty. (Nevermind that the original source of her money is the trust fund you created for her.) She could easily walk away if she weren't so convinced she's the rightful heir to the NE throne--a notion you've long encouraged. Wow, Tucker 100% predicted what Diane advised Kyle to do: spy on Tucker while pretending to be on his hostile takeover team. Eventually Jack would gratefully reward Kyle with the co-CEO job. But if Diane doesn't tell Jack what's up, that'll put her at risk of losing his trust, no? Ruh roh, Jill. Tucker ain't scurred so maybe you should be worried. Meanwhile, hon, you might want to invest in sturdier undergarments. The girls were hella saggy today. Daniel, you are not trying to worm your way around Tucker. Your mommy may have momentarily gotten the best of him but you would not be so lucky. FOH, game boy. Look out world, Victoria Newman's about to spin out! Whee!!! 🥳😵‍💫 Hostage Nikki must've been on some amazing drugs if she hallucinated Victor's presence but it turned out to be a weird little doll. Eek.

I barely remember Cole Howard but his return would be an interesting blast from the past. J. Eddie Peck was a hot piece back in day. According to the googles he's 65 now so I think it'd be fun to see if he's held up as well as Linden Ashby (Cameron Kirsten) has. It's mystifying, right? Victor's kids were on the verge of shipping him off to a rest home and no one bothered to bring Abby in on the matter. I'm surprised Adam at least hasn't told her. He tends to view Abby as a kindred "outsider" since she also isn't Nikki's spawn.

Victoria, what part of "eff off" do you not understand? Gah, you harpy. Leave Nate alone. The room Nikki's in looks like the one where Stitch had Mariah stashed when she was pregnant with Dominic. I don't recall Stitch having a whole house set though. Weren't he and his demonchild son on the lam or something? Ehhh. The placement of the stairs is what's throwing me off. Audra in the bright Barbie color again. Wowser. Wah, wah, wah, Vikki. Stop acting like you and Nate have anything in common or that he should feel sorry for you. You're just jonesing for that Nate Hastings brand of vitamin D you were getting on the regular when he worked for you. Victor sure is flighty. From one day to the next his kids don't know who'll be in his good graces and who won't. IMO they ought to stop fighting each other long enough to 5150 Daddy Control Freak's zigzagging behind. Jeebus cripes, Nick. Ungrateful much? I gotta give Adam a lot of credit for tolerating your nastiness. Kyle grew a conscience. Yawn. He's another GC scion of generational wealth and power who doesn't actually need to worry about his future. I think Audra has been working him the wrong way. Lol, Nikki was laying on the bed wearing all her clothes and her shoes. Shades of Erica Kane. (Who hilariously wore beige pumps in bed during boudoir scenes.) Keep your mouth shut, Nate. You can't make amends with Lily and Devon and return to C/W if they suspect Victoria will use you to attempt a takeover again. Wait, is Nikki in a B&B? The was a Gideon Bible in the end table. No cable TV though, ha ha. A valid point was made upthread: what did Claire do about the Newman jet pilot? Maybe she used Nikki's phone to text him new instructions. Man, he is so fired when Victor finds out what happened to Nikki.

Whoa, when was the last time we saw Nate in casual clothes? I thought he looked good today, or at least slightly less shady. What evilness is Claire up to? She was doing everything but stroke her imaginary Snidely Whiplash mustache. Ashley is so confident she can handle Tucker. Pshht, as if. I think Tucker's only danger is himself and the hapless schemes he doesn't seem to think through. Cute how Chloe just bounces from one job to another by leeching off her friends. Lol, Adam walked into Society and Sally's cooch automatically went on high alert. Y&R Word of Day: Ruse. Not even halfway through the episode and I noticed the word "ruse" used three times already. 🙄 Shut up, Abby. Your Newman family just suffered a tectonic shift courtesy of your dastardly daddy and you have no clue. Nobody needs your opinions on Tucker. Nikki's pants. Oy. I know the huge, baggy legs look is in style but I don't think it works on anyone whose body isn't pretty much skeletal. I still can't wait until Chloe finds out Sally and Adam hit the sheets again. "Clean-up on aisle 3! Looks like pieces of a head." Mamie thinks if she, Nate, Lily, and Devon unite they can drive Jill out of C/W. Heh, keep dreaming Miss M. The set for Aunt Jordan's house looked familiar but so far I can't place it. Sigh, Nikki. Not to blame the victim but you walked right into that drug-induced nightmare. You better hope Victor's crackhead security team has a GPS tracker on your phone.

Not sure why Sharon was giving Nick the stink eye because Summer went to see Chance at the hospital. Nick had nothing to with it and IMO he doesn't need to make excuses for his growna$$ daughter's friendships. . Victoria was right. How does a mother stand by and watch while her husband psychologically abuses their children? AFAIC Nikki has no valid excuse. EB was on The Talk last Friday doing what I interpreted as damage control. He seemed to be proud of the fake mental incapacity storyline. His stance was that Victor only does bad guy things because he was abandoned as a child at an orphanage. Sure, Jan. Make your kids suffer for something they had no control over. But here we are with Nick, Adam, and Nikki all spouting stuff to justify Victor's behavior, and to make Nate the convenient scapegoat. Ugh. So this is what TGVN is now reduced to, attacking his own family. An awful lot of dialogue is being used to try to make the audience buy it but I think the show may have crossed the line with Victor this time. SuperNick believes he is the only one who can step up and help save NE. Meanwhile, Abby the lost Newman sibling remains in the dark on the whole matter. And oh noes, poor Sharon (😉) will be stuck having to run her Kirsten company without Nick's aid! Worst. Corporate. Intrigues. Ever. Nikki is bad at geography. Oregon isn't "practically a neighbor" of Napa Valley. But whatever, that was slick the way Claire maneuvered herself a seat on the Newman jet. I'm not buying a person in Nikki's position agreeing to go alone to some random town in the Pacific NW boonies with her new assistant, to meet a person who may not even exist. Listen to your instincts, Nikki. It feels lowkey weird because it is. Wasn't that like the third time Nick has been at the jazz lounge "today"? If he keeps this up he'll turn into a drunk like his mommy.

Timothée Chalamet is adorable. Not a fan of Chloe Fineman's Britney Spears. Too much Chloe and not enough Britney. Werner Herzog. Is he still alive? Dog isn't the color dog. Giant Horse/Tiny Horse went over my head. Was it a rag on bad CGI? WU: I didn't realize Jared Leto was so disliked. Chipotle burrito phone. Troye Sivan, a moistured MGK. 49 and 30 months-old. Is Chloe Troast actually a good singer? She was great at trying to sing badly. LET'S GET CALM! I think Timothée did good with what he was given to work with. I see a five-timer jacket in his future.

The scenario may be implausible IRL but there is bestselling contemporary novel by a bestselling author which includes a similar plot point. (However, the events are told from the POV of the thief, and the cops in question are mostly dirty.) When Chance explained what happened I immediately thought of that novel so I'm giving JG a pass on this one. Yeah, it looks like Claire may be another disposable villain used to give a veteran character a big story arc. I guess it's Nikki's turn. Sigh, I was wanting to see Claire mix it up with Adam, and I'm curious why she's been rather forward with Nate.

Wonder if Nina has contacted Phillip III--Chance's daddy--about their son's serious injury? He still lives in Australia, right? Daniel, of course things went sideways at your condo after Heather showed up uninvited with Lucy. Heather is trying to be messy and she's using your daughter to do it. Don't be putting the onus on Lily to behave cordially when your ex is treating her like an opponent to be vanquished. Someone needs to explain to Phyllis how to pronounce "tiramisú." Yeesh, what a rube. Whoa, Sharon made an unsubtle dig at Summer about Kyle dumping her. Retract your claws, Grandma Cougar. Summer isn't trying to steal your man like her mommy did back in the day. Not deliberately, anyway. 😏 The CEO of a major international company was out and about without her cell? Nope, not buying it. Plus Lily would always want to be reachable by her kids. Of course Phyllis was lowkey encouraging Summer's interest in a guy who's already spoken for. Of course. But I don't know about Red's theory that Sharon has never stopped wanting Nick. Hmm. Christine was snarking on Sharon dating Chance too! That sure came out of left field. Man, Sharon can't win with these judgy GC yentas, lol. Had a giggle at the big bowl of fruit sitting on Lily's coffee table. They used it to block CK's baby belly instead of the usual gigantic tote bag. Wait, what? When Summer told Sharon she was going to pursue Chance, who's fantasy was it, Summer's or Sharon's? Nicely done, JG. You got my full attention. Re the previews: yikes, Claire in the living room with a hypodermic! Bet Nikki will wake up missing a kidney, ha ha. Or bone marrow. 😱

I got the impression Felicia never lets go of her grudges against anyone. She was seriously hung up on his hair. Hers was longer but his wasn't mostly fake. Re his social game, at one point I started wondering if maybe Cam had undiagnosed Aspergers. Yes, if hot in this instance means way overdressed for the occasion. The only things missing were a scepter and crown. (I don't watch Survivor so I've never understood why she was treated like royalty.) Up until his final speech I felt sure Jag would win but afterwards, nope. Apparently he knew some of the jury would be bitter and he thought it was best to lean in. But dang, that speech was way off-putting to me. He went overboard IMO. I wouldn't describe Cam as a hero but I don't think he deserved a villain edit either. He just seemed early on to be more analytical than most of the other houseguests and it seems to have been read as a threat. Nevertheless, he was the one I was pulling for from the first episode. I'm not really read in on whatever his bad behavior was. Me too but I was completely shocked. I really thought Matt would win and it looked he did too, lol. Julie handled that perfectly. Boy do I hope next season won't be as long as this one.

Just dropping in to thank the Live Feeders for doing the tough work so us broadcast-only viewers didn't have to. I haven't watched every season of BB but I'm sure this one had to have been one of the worst. So, give yourselves a few hugs for getting through it. Onward to BB26! 🥴

Hey, it's Elena! "Blindsided." "Expect the unexpected." Look at CBS doing cross-promotion all sneaky like. The only thing missing was someone named Julie sidling up to the GCAC bar saying she was looking for her big brother. Devon sincerely offered an olive branch to Nate. Too bad Nate was still kind of in his feelings about losing his job an hour ago. Chance wasn't even on a breathing tube. Meanwhile Nina, Christine, and Sharon were in his room sucking up all the oxygen. Good thing Elena shooed them out of there, lol. Interesting how Elena later decided Summer could visit Chance as long as she wanted. Summer is not Chance's wife, girlfriend, or even a family member. Hmm. What was Sharon pouring into the coffee cups, Kahlúa? "Chance is unconscious so let's get wasted! !Salud!" When Vikki was NE's CEO she basically kicked Nick out in order to give her lover Nate his job. So her acting shocked to find out Victor offered Nick the job back was some b.s. IMO. Wow, Nick mentioned Christian. I guess since he's no longer boinking Sally, Nick has to go home at night and pay attention to his son. Seemed to me Nate was being kinda cagey with Devon by not telling him he'd just gotten the boot. Devon might not have been 100% "Bygones!" if he'd known Nate was in trouble with the Newmans. I think he'd at least want to know why. Stop being dense, Victoria. How many ways does Nate have to tell you to get to steppin'? He was trying to knock back some booze, not drink the toxic Newman kool-aid. Danny was working awfully hard to make Christine agree to a non-date date. Easy there, cowboy. Imagine being hot AF, waking up from a critical injury, and the first thing you see is Stuporgirl caressing your hand. Why, it's right out of a romance novel! 😏😉😏😉😏😉 Ruh roh, Sharon. Summer's coming in clutch for your man. Literally.

Speedo? Pssht, if all he's doing is laying there looking glorious with perfect hair, AFAIC he doesn't need to be wearing anything at all. And for music I'd just have Marvin Gaye on repeat. Oh, I know that's not unusual, it's just that when they first showed the empty set it seemed to me like they were deliberately making the space smaller than the penthouses. Now every day we find out Daniel's place is way bigger than it looks. At this rate, by next week Lucy will be amazed about the bowling alley and home theater.

Aw geez, Phyllis trying to act alluring with Danny. 🤮🤮🤮 Meh, I think Victor was lying to save face and he conveniently used Nate as a scapegoat because Nate fell for the lies. Nate is shady but in this matter I too think he was acting in good faith due to his medical background. I don't know why Danny was wasting his time trying to reason with Phyllis about Christine. Phyllis will never accept that Danny cares more about Christine than her, even if it's only platonic. Gotta side with Chloe this once. Summer may be the CEO but she's a third wheel in Marchetti's creative process. She's never been a fashion designer and is hindering the effort by being too hands-on. Let it go, Nate. Those Newmans are a psycho cult in worship of Victor. You were never going to last there, even with Victoria as your girlfriend. Your uncle Neil had to learn that hard lesson too. Ya burnt, Vikki! No more nooners in the NE corporate suite for you. You are officially un-dickmatized, lol. Nick, Adam, Nikki, and Victoria are still fighting with each other so what did Victor actually accomplish beyond making himself the center of attention again? Nil, zip, nada, IMO. Funny how nobody told Phyllis Lucy and Heather were back in town. She practically had to drag the news out of Danny. Chance has been shot! Sigh, I thought his promotion to GC's chief of police was supposed to keep him out of the line of fire. Taking a bullet every three years is Chance's fate, it seems. 😏 Newmans: are you losing your marbles, Victor? Victor: no, I'm completely lucid! Joi: yeah, just like a 10W frosted light bulb. Unconscious gunshot victim Chance was hooked up to no medical equipment beyond a pulse monitor. Was he having a nap? Gah, this show looks so cheap.

Yeah, I know, JG is trying to be all tricky with it. Plus I doubt EB wants to have Victor looking weak. But Victor getting the upper hand by making it seem like it was all a ruse to expose whoever he couldn't trust makes sense to me. So IMO he really is impaired but he secretly gets treatment via those occasional business trips of his and no one's the wiser. Including Nikki. And speaking of Nikki, can someone remind me what her issue is against Nate? What I don't get is why Victor put his family through all of this just to get rid of Nate. He could've fired him weeks ago. I guess we're going to find out he mostly did it at Mamie's behest but since when are Daddy Vic and Auntie M such chums? Now Mamie is rolling with three billionaires? (Four if you count Tucker.) Oh puhleeze. Apparently, but it doesn't seem to have a second level like Lily and Nate's penthouses or Adam's condo so I figured it only had two bedrooms. Maybe it's like Dr. Who's TARDIS and is way bigger inside than it looks.

Hey, it's Abby. Odd for Heather and Lucy to make such a big deal about moving into the GCAC. I'm pretty sure they've stayed there before. 🙄 Shut up, Chloe. Sally's good mood is due to the man who loves her, not the loser you keep telling her is a better guy. You stay being confidently wrong. Wow, Victor actually admitted he's been having troubles with his mental faculties, and he's been trying to divert everyone's attention from it. I did not see that coming. Meh, I don't know about Abby's advice to Devon, particularly the part regarding Mamie and Nate. She barely knows Mamie, especially this "new and improved" Ms. Moneybags version. And IMO Abby is somewhat blasé about her ex-lover Nate's potential shadiness. Sally still didn't dare mention to her so-called bestie Chloe that she just spent the night with Adam. Hmm. Nikki, Victoria, and Nick remained united in deeming Adam The Total Threat. Unbeknownst to them, however, Nate had pretty much assumed control of the "Victor's not well" narrative. The call wasn't coming from inside the house exactly but it was probably in the garage. I can't decide if I liked Sally's coat or not. The twisted yarn fringe was interesting to me in a "did those fall off Mamie's head?" kind of way. 😼 How many bedrooms does Daniel's new place have? He already promised a room to Danny and then today he told Lucy she'd have one too. 🤔 Of course they're not going to send Victor away to a treatment facility. Not on this cheapa$$ show. Nah, Daddy Vic will be getting all his care from the ranch's living room. Bet. Dang, that smug look Heather threw at Lily from inside Daniel's apartment. Brr. WHAT THE WHAT!!!!!!! Victor fired Nate! I'm not mad but I don't quite see why he did it...yet. Lucky for Nate he's meeting Devon for drinks later. He better take a copy of his updated resume, lol.

Well, there's another one I have to stash away for future use. 🤯 So while the Newmans are experiencing all this Sturm und Drang regarding Victor's mental health, where is Abby? Has anyone bothered to read her in or will this be like the Ashland Locke situation? Nobody thinks of Abby until they need her help in a cover-up.

Sharon's jacket. Yikes. As soon as I saw it I started humming 🎶"...like a rhinestone cowboy..."🎶 in my head. Meanwhile, Nikki is loving her pantsuits. Seems like she has one in every color. So now TGVN is supposedly making business deal mistakes. Unless Victor was pretty sure Victoria would catch them, that struck me as too risky a move to be part of a scheme. 🤔 Claire really wants to be up in Nikki's personal business. Hope she realizes what a cesspool she might be wading into, lol. Yep, Victor knew Nate wouldn't keep his mouth shut about his mysterious mental condition. Nate violated doctor/patient confidentiality by telling Victoria, no? I hope Victor fires him. 😈 Whee, Nick straight up ratted on Adam to Victor right in front of Adam! Adam should've never trusted Nick with his plan. Aw, Aria's wee apple cheeks. Yummy yum yum. Was Claire lowkey flirting with Nate again? You go, girl! I don't what you're up to but if it includes taking down Partless, I am here for it. Great staging of the scene where Aria hears her mommies for the first time. Got me right in the feels. Finally Victor's going to tell everyone the truth about his rumored condition. Sure. I hope he does a headstand on his desk, yells a few sentences in gibberish, then somersaults out the door and down the executive stairwell. That'd leave them speechless.

Sally: hi, Nick. How are you? Nick: I'm good, Sally. How are you? Sally: fantastic. Your brother hammered it like the fist of Thor up in my suite last night. Oops, did I say that out loud? Nick: uh, kill me now. And you're a ho, just like my dad said. Sally: why you mad tho? The way Ashley was talking to Mamie recently, you'd think Tucker had been abusive to her and that's why he and Ashley broke up. But today during Ashley's conversation with Tucker at Society, he acted like he was her victim. Was he performing for her or does he genuinely feel hurt? Billy told Kyle Marchetti is Summer's company. I thought Jabot bought it and Kyle became its CEO. Maybe since the divorce Summer moved into that slot but either way, CEO <> owner. O hai Lily. Lol, it's amazing how Victor is managing to keep straight his whackadoodle stories. Plus which person he told which story.. Gosh, Tucker broke down and burst into tears. I can't take it! 🙁🙁🙁 Right, Nate. You send Victor on a fake extended business trip to get "treatment," after you have him designate you as indefinite acting-CEO. The crew up on the ISS could see that self-serving ploy coming. Seriously? Billy figured out Tucker's plan to use Kyle to take over Jabot. JG, why do you hate us? 👿👿👿 Re the previews: noooo! Nina takes a call about her son getting hurt?!? Not Chance!!!! Maybe it's Ronan.

I happened to catch the beginning of GH today and was shocked to see characters dressed as Princess Leia and Darth Vader. Then I remembered Disney owns the Star Wars movies as well as ABC/GH. They weren't going issue a cease & desist on their own properties. (Warner Bros. stopped music producer Diddy's Halloween plans to appear as the Joker and he responded by dressing up as Batman, lol.) Yeah, the difference between how GH acknowledged Halloween and the way Y&R did not was astounding. I can't understand how Y&R manages to stay at the top of the ratings when it seems like they're barely putting forth any effort anymore. Me too, especially since Chance seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. (Per his IMDb page, the actor has been working on several outside projects.)

One thing I'll say for LLB (Christine), she's had good work done. She could probably pass for 10 years younger as long as no one noticed her hands. Christine referred to Jeremy Stark as Phyllis' romantic partner and Phyllis didn't dare correct her. Hey, it's Nina. Wonder if Chance knows his mommy's in town? A thorn in Christine's side? Phyllis, YOU TRIED TO KILL HER! In a normal world your intended victim wouldn't even acknowledge your remorseless existence. Christine, Nina, Lauren, and Phyllis each have long hairstyles with center parts. Seems like the female equivalent of Danny, Billy, and Nick having solidly dark hair with no gray. Play all the coiffure games you want, GC oldsters. Father Time remains undefeated. Gosh, the flashback of Danny forcibly kissing Christine was hard to watch. IMO it's unfortunate that kind of move is still an acceptable romantic trope. Lol, apparently Lauren teleported from the GCAC over to the coffeehouse. Does DD receive residual pay for appearing in flashbacks? The two today were full-color too, not the weird sepia-toned stuff the show is using now. I forgot Christine was pregnant the second time she got hit by a car. it's a wonder she doesn't have an automobile phobia. Phyllis in competition with Christine for Danny's attention. It's like déjà vu all over again. 🙄

Billy unknowingly describing Adam this way either tickles me or grosses me out. I can't decide which. 🤨 Meanwhile, I guess this is Summer's Boss Lady uniform: March 2023 November 2023

Lol, Mariah and Lily should start a club: Women Who Carry a Gigantic, Strategically Placed Tote Bag--For Reasons. CG was glowing today. 💝 Adam. You should've called in sick and put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. Screw Nate. Well, not literally. Save that for your ladylove. Must be nice, Kyle. You don't have to pay for lodging. Your meals are free. You can lounge around complaining about how you're not being given your fair piece of the Jabot pie. Wah, wah, wah, Bouffant Boy. Geez, Chelsea must have a GPS tracker on Billy given how easily she found him at the park. Multiple injections of Adam's vitamin D must have been just what the doctor (not Nate though) ordered for Sally. She was glowing too. Victor is now driving his kids nuts by insisting he's not nuts after they tell him the nutty stuff he's done. I'm kinda starting to like it. Except for the part where Nate gets to think he's Victor's trusted confidante. Chelsea's hair looked a lot better, I thought. Nice blowout. I liked her earrings too. And then Billy the reanimated corpse had to remove his shirt. My eyes! 😵‍💫 Dude, eat a sandwich. With all the fixins. Kyle should listen to Mariah. I think she was giving him plenty of good advice. Too bad Kyle didn't tell Mariah about his recent plans with Tucker because she would've right chewed him up one side and down the other. Oh Nick, trying to get snarky with Adam about Sally was not the cool move you thought it was. Chile, you don't even know: Adam removed all traces of you from Sally last night. (Plus he was decent enough not to brag, tee hee.) Dang, Summer was definitely not here for Chloe today. I think she might've been thisclose to firing her. Oh well. Ew, I sure hope Chelsea took a shower before she went to work. Nobody wants to go in for a hug or a handshake and catch a whiff of Eau de Nekkid Billy on her.

Nah, I say just let Tucker put a hit out on her for reneging on their deal. He has to stop her before she spills all beans to Lily and Devon. Or have Nikki overhear Mamie trash-talking a Newman and then let Nikki murder her with her bare hands. 😈 IKR? Back in the day Dru did occasionally get nasty with people but it was usually in response to something wrong they did. Olivia wasn't always saintly either. But their Aunt Mamie constantly acts like a biatch for no apparent reason. It's not appealing to me. It's funny, did the show acknowledge Halloween at all this year? I remember when most of the cast would wear costumes but lately it seems like mostly only the kids dressed up. But now the kids have disappeared so YR is like, "Nothing to see here, move on." Weird.

Lawd help me, now I can't look at Tucker in his slim jeans and turtleneck without thinking of land crabs. 😱 Tucker said Audra told him Kyle is tenacious. Well, sure, I guess Kyle's peen is tenacious on Audra's cooch. Jack still had his boxers in a twist about Ashley planning to handle Tucker on her own. Yeesh. During Ashley and Mamie's conversation was Ashley intimating that Tucker had abused her? Mamie sure seemed to take it that way. Nate is slowly easing back into Lily and Devon's good graces. His immediately going over to Lily's place to tell them about Mamie's text from Tucker probably helped a lot. The Abbott family patriarch was not doing so great in his job. IMO Jack shouldn't have told Billy Kyle wants to be the Jabot co-CEO again. He might as well toss the two of them in a cage and make them fight it out. Kyle, crawling up Tucker's a$$ about Ashley is not the way you want to go. Ashley doesn't need you defending her honor. Tucker doesn't need you getting sassy in his face while you're in a defensive position. Shut up. Pssht, Devon, Mamie is many things but "innocent" is not one of them. Aunties tend have their own kind of messiness, especially ones from Mamie's generation. Um, Mamie, your family--the Barbers--has never controlled C/W. Devon, the owner of the W side, is not actually your family, and Lily is only a C/W employee. What were you even talking about, wanting to return control of C/W to your family? Okay, Tucker, today you saw what a ditz you were in cahoots with. You have my permission to steamroller right over Mamie. But my guy, ease up on the fibbing. You're struggling to keep all your lies straight.

OMG, OMG, OMG, my soul is leaving my body. Or it was at o'dark thirty when I read this the first time. So much funny, and it hits you all sneaky like. 🥴 On a slightly tangential note, for some reason I've put more than an idle amount of thought into how Nate's side part disappeared overnight. It looked to me like it had been shaved in, not merely combed, so I was intrigued. After some googling I decided the magic was due to this: Yea, that's the ticket!
