This problem is dumbfounding. Why do they even bother to do rape kits if they know they'll likely never be tested? Could one of the victims in a case like this episode's sue those other jurisdictions for negligence or deliberate indifference or something? Arguably the NYC rapes wouldn't have occurred if the PDs in the two other cities had fully done their jobs. And did I miss something along the way or have Rollins and Amaro broken up? I was rooting for those two crazy kids.

This show is so great. Just one killer line after another. "Hennessy. Shaken, not stirred." Wonder why they didn't let Jennifer Lewis sing without the autotuning? Too much like breaking the fourth wall?

Is it all that unusual for someone Hope's age to miscarry early in their first trimester? I agree with comments upthread that it's way over-the-top for them to be acting like this is the biggest tragedy ever. Unless the doctors tell her she can no longer have children, she can heal up and get pregnant again, no? Plus now she'll have the opportunity to get knocked up by the Spencer son she really wants.

Whoosh! Nothin' but net! Seriously though, the MWTs couldn't have been expected to predict that Cosby and his disgusting scandal would blow up at the same time they were rolling out this date rape perfume storyline. However, they really should be trying to steer this storyline another direction now, IMO. There's no way to play it for laughs like AMC's old Libidizone storyline. That was back when drugging people as a precursor to rape was pretty much only considered frat boy or serial killer behavior. It seems to be a UO around these parts but I'm not seeing bunny boiler in Kelly--not yet anyway. What I am seeing is a booze and Ambien OD in her future, assuming the spumors about her being pregnant don't turn out to be true.

Victor is like a zombie who endlessly yearns for live human flesh. In his case the flesh is Jack Abbott's and this latest scheme is just another way to try to eat Jack for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No matter that Victor's own daughter could get caught in the crossfire. Meh, collateral damage. Or snag a leftover splinter.

It's pretty much guaranteed that she will. I just hope he doesn't end up sleeping with her. Yeah, I think no matter what he does now, her career in the diplomatic service is over. I echo comments above and wonder what she ever saw in him. I guess his being so weak made it easier for her to park him in a corner while she forged ahead with her own climb up the ladder?

I'm just gonna go on the record now as guessing Tobias is a corporate spy for Newman. He was way too enthusiastic to be working on some new date rape perfume. I predict Ashley's new perfume is going to end up the same way as Gloria's face cream...being sued in court. Um, yeah, I'll bet Joe will take one look at that ring and make a remark so biting people three counties over will wince and say, "Ouch, what was that?"

That was a most excellent cliffhanger. Not sure I like this business of Murphy creating his own mind-controlled zombies though. That doesn't make him much different than a vampire and I hated when True Blood came up with these zombie vampire things. How about we stick with one type of supernatural being, huh?
-
That surprises me for several reasons but whatever, so much for the rumors that . Yeah, it's hard to believe that she has just slipped back into bed with Rick like nothing happened. That's disgusting. At the very least we should see/have seen a scene where she considers the significance and has some doubt. Heck, she should insist that Rick get STD-tested first.

ICAM. There are some sitcoms where that would have looked corny but here it was smooth as silk.

So I guess the whole point of Maya being at the shower was so Crinoline could spend the whole party rolling her eyes and then start back with the "Myrna" stuff. I'm not Team Maya but it's looking like maybe I'm not going to be able to root for either of them. Clearly the premature baby shower was intended to be an on-screen going away party but do TPTB rightly assume that the audience knows KM is leaving? Because if not, I thought it was kinda creepy when they rolled in that expensive stroller for a woman who isn't even out of her first trimester yet. I just don't see even rich Beverly HIlls women taunting fate like that so it makes no sense unless they're setting up a ridiculously tragic ending for Hope's pregnancy.

Isn't Johnny at Chelsea's place? Princess Victoria doesn't even bother to thank Chelsea (or Anita) for babysitting. I guess Johnny doesn't rate now that Victoria has a Billy Abbott baby of her very own. But with Maureen disappearing again how will Stitch prove that he didn't really kill his father? Does dry drunk Nikki realize what she just did or is she also on the Victoria&Billy4Evah bandwagon?

Not necessarily. TK's character's hottest romance on AMC began with a woman who was pregnant with another guy's kid. He could make it work if they write it right. Her carrying Ridge's brother's baby would add a certain ick factor though (IMO) if Caroline and Ridge finally surrender to their passion while she's pregnant. I'm sorry, I know what this means but my mind keeps going to a yuckier place. Ugh, the words "cake" and "diaper" should not be placed next to each other. That could be interesting since Aly can go psycho at the drop of a hat. I just hope it wouldn't turn out to be a "the girl who puts out versus the virgin in love" storyline.

Joshua Morrow is the guest on the latest episode of Aisha Tyler's podcast, Girl on Guy. (Likely NSFW due to "adult" language.) FYI, Aisha is one of the hosts on the CBS show The Talk so this has the fine hand of several corporate PR flacks all over it (IMO). I could see several people from the Y&R cast being interviewed on GOG but JM would be one of the last. Excuse me while I go over here and try to stop my eyes from rolling.

That was my take too until recent developments with Maya. I'm not convinced the writers were intending Caroline's disdaining treatment of Maya to be racist but the subtext was certainly there, IMO, just based on the optics of the situation. This show has an abundance of blonde women, most of whom are held in some kind of exalted status. One of the most exalted of them (whose arrival was like a modernized version of Botticelli's painting, The Birth of Venus) repeatedly, deliberately, and publicly took cruel and demeaning shots at the show's sole Black female character. On the surface, IMO it looked at least partially racial even if it wasn't intended to be. Futhermore, one of the two Black male characters also did little more than dump on Maya, as if that was to make what Caroline was doing okay. IMO, all it did was make Carter resemble a certain Black male stereotype which openly and bitterly hates on Black women at the expense of women of other races. Not sure if there were any Black writers on staff then but I should think they would've known how wrong that could look. For whatever reason, the writers/TPTB seem to have seen the error of their ways. Carter still criticizes Maya but it's with a lighter touch. She's allowed to explain her motivation--delusional though it may be--and she's no longer positioned as a either a weak victim or a mindless villain. They've evened up (IMO) the score between Caroline and Maya and now I think it makes more sense for Caroline to be calling her out. (But Caroline needs to avoid the "Myrna" stuff. I think that definitely looks borderline racist for largely historical reasons.)
