But for the scourge of SORAS, Summer only would be a few years older than Faith. Summer was born in 2006 and Faith was born in 2009. I'll also reserve judgment until we see how the new actress interacts with the people Summer normally interacts with.

Wait, Ashland is STILL not gone?

AFAIC that opening scene could only have been better if Victoria had kicked Ashland in the junk. 😏 I just don't know how Sharon can be okay with Ray going on an overnight trip with another woman, especially Chelsea. Wonder what the sleeping arrangements will be? Will Rey be in his own room or will he be bunking with Connor? So what did Ashland get in the merger with NE? Technically he owned half of Newman/Locke but that was all just on paper apparently. Sounds like a bad deal to me unless he had a sure way to get rid of Victoria. Otherwise, wouldn't the Newmans have had to pay him if he'd wanted to cash out his half? Presumably that would've cost them a lot more than $500M so I don't know why Ashland didn't go that route. Although $500M is nothing to sniff at, I think he sold himself for cheap. Oy, Chelsea, you really should've left well enough alone. Challenging Sharon on her security in her marriage was a wannabe sidepiece move IMO. This is not a "game recognize game" moment. Pshht, why should Victoria care about Ashland now feeling lost and aimless? He's got a half billion of her family's money to help him figure it out. And there are plenty of bimbos out there who'll be more than happy to "comfort" him. Chelsea was getting awfully handsy with Rey, and right in front of Sharon. She is utter trash. I get why Victoria destroyed that painting: Ashland had made a big deal of having it commissioned for her as a gift. But there must be some major psychological damage involved in effectively stabbing a portrait of yourself. Yikes. Adam's being rather cocky about Victoria's loss. Hmm, what could possibly go wrong? 🤔 Rey must've been speeding for a meet cute between his car and Victoria's, right? Unless it was Sally who ran into Victoria. 😒 Hopefully the annulment of Victoria and Ashland's marriage has been finalized or the Newmans will be dealing with him as Victoria's emergency contact. Theoretically, he'll be able to call the shots in her treatment if she ends up with critical injuries. Pray she doesn't get amnesia, particularly since B&B is about to pull that crap.

Nah, I don't see how handing Ashland $500M is considered a win by the Newmans. It's mainly a win for Locke. It's ridiculous even if they can afford it. Well that didn't take long. Diane hadn't even finished unpacking before Phyllis landed at her door doing her best Queen Xenomorph imitation: That's where Ashland ultimately tripped himself up. No way is Victoria going abandon her children to run away with him, and no way is Billy going to let her take his kids away to live elsewhere. Victor wouldn't stand for it either. Every time someone talks about moving one of TGVN's grandchildren out of GC, he threatens to sue for custody. If Diane already knew that was Phyllis' hotel, I fail to see how she thought she'd be able to stay there secretly, under the same alias Phyllis already was aware of. 🤔 After everything's that's happened, now Ashland is a total fool for Victoria? Ugh, I'm almost glad RB got fired because I wouldn't have wanted to watch him playing Ashland as a simp. My only hope is that it'll be revealed Locke has been lying from the minute he showed up. Sigh, this isn't the first time Victoria has had a marriage fall apart. It's not even her worst betrayal by a no-good husband. Snap out of it, woman! (AH can't fake cry to save her life. Yeesh.) Jack could just fly over to Italy and tell Kyle about Diane before he and Harrison return to GC. Why wait? Diane better learn to look through the peephole before she swings open her room door. One day it'll be Nikki or Victor standing there and either of them might try to finish the job, ha ha. Okay, Victoria's about to sic her inner b!tch on Ashland. Too bad she didn't do it before he cost her family $500M.

For Gunn to be such an ace assassin Eve sure made quick work of her. Or so she thought. Gunn's probably not one they should've left alive. Eve gleefully doing the Electric Slide at a wedding reception while Villanelle was taking 45 seconds to kill the 12 was not something I would've ever expected. Sure hope that wasn't meant to be Killing Eve's nod to the Red Wedding. So did Carolyn only intend to kill Villanelle or did she assume Eve was dead too? Tarot cards. Can't trust 'em as far as you can throw 'em. 🙄 Well, that was a let down for me. Game of Thrones, you're off the hook. Killing Eve has taken your prize for Most Disappointing Ending After a Mostly Poor Final Season.

That was brutal the way Tommy took the first Irish hitter out. The poor guy didn't even get his happy ending. 😏 Oh, okay, Diamond knows how to take care of business. Bye, Blaxton. You shouldn't have been so obvious Meh, it's Kate. Lock up everything. Jenard has a nice place. Straight out of Town & Country. 🙄 Tommy, JP, and Darnell all have Kate's chin. How easy are the Serbs if Jenard was able talk them off of their deal with Tommy? Pssht, seems like those guys go whichever way the wind blows. Heh, Tommy and Diamond created a circular firing squad with the Flynns, Jenard, and the CBI crew. But why would they go to the meet just with handguns? Guess they were counting on Liliana to take everyone out from the rear. Oh geez, Liliana. Why was she not wearing Kevlar? People out here acting like they're bulletproof. "He's like a ghost." Lol, not really. Crap, if Blanca goes to Chicago that'll be even more mess. Isn't she going to be in conflict with the FBI or will she quit the DEA and join them next? How did we get to the end of the season with Walter still alive? How? What does it take to kill that guy because apparently a critical illness isn't enough. I like PB III, mainly for Raq. PB IV needs some tightening up plot-wise but I don't rank it much below PB III. Tommy and Raq are two of the most charismatic criminals on TV right now IMO. Good job, 50.

OMG, why would someone shoot a corpse up with meth? What would be the point? An orgy. In 2022? That's hilarious. You must really, really want to risk your life. So is "Marcel Dupont" luggage the L&O version of Louis Vuitton? Prescient "ripped from the headlines" timing by the show's producers. The person this episode was based on was sentenced to 30 years in prison on the very day this episode aired.

Lol, the teacher was bragging about getting catfished. So she bought that engagement ring herself? Why would anybody be trying to pay rent on a cave? They're free after you kick the bears out. Oy, that crucifixion sketch bordered on being sacrilegious, especially right before Easter. The funeral sketch was brilliant. Just one mic drop after another.

Was that guy still alive when Gunn gutted him? Dang, kinda harsh. Yusuf put the F in fun all right. And the F in foine. Gunn is cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Now Villanelle has to figure out how she'll get off the island after she kills Gunn. I don't understand why Eve would go to that island unarmed.

After all that, Buckley still didn't manage to kill Kane. Bad cop, no donut. 😉 High af Buckley openly stealing from a drug dealer. That won't end well. Either he's going to O.D. or get capped. Don't do it Wanda! Stay on your positive trajectory. Leon is not it. Franklin looked fully heartbroken when Louie and Jerome told him they were buying product directly from Teddy. Great acting moment. Considering the state he's in, why would Louie double-down on using Buckley? Was she just blowing smoke up his butt to diffuse the situation? He's become a huge liability for her. Maybe she should arrange for him to get a bad dose of coke. If the Cuban guy is DEA why is his partner Russian? He must be KGB. Whipped cream on apple pie. Bleh. Vanilla ice cream or nothing. I don't know why Teddy was surprised at Franklin's reaction. He undermined Franklin in the worst way. And that doesn't even include his taking steps to steal Franklin's money. Seems to me he's willfully shutting Franklin down.

Ashland is either pure deviousness or nucking futz. Does he really think Victor will hand over $500M for him to run off with Victoria? Victor would have Victoria arrested before he'd let that happen. Billy, in order to say what's on your mind you need to have a mind. Yours has been AWOL for years. Silly boy. I don't know why Adam didn't offer Ashland a down payment on the payoff. Earnest money, as it were. Locke would stupid to sign anything before he got at least some of the cash. Lol, Sally thinks she's on par with Lily because she has a C title. Pssht, COOs are a dime a dozen in GC, Sally. You can probably get one at the nearest big box store. On sale. In the party supplies department. 🙄 Yeah, no, Sally. You might not want to aspire to be Lily's friend. Ask around. Her background is way messier than yours, even if she is from one GC's elite families. Plus she's clearly a snob. Two podcasts? Oy, someone call an exterminator. Looks like Billy's podcast idea about to turn into an infestation. I think it's sad what Tessa and Mariah have been reduced to because TPTB are scared to let them just get married already. Any other couple who'd been together as long as they have would have divorced and remarried each other for the second or third time by now. Instead it's "lol, the madcap lesbians" ad infinitum. Y&R, seriously? Billy's fake voice is just like over on DAYS when someone gets possessed by Satan. The jokes will write themselves! Re the previews: Chelsea is going to step to Sharon over Rey. Yikes. It must be hard for Chelz sit down with such huge balls. 😲

$500M is a lot of money but isn't Ashland a billionaire too? Why are they assuming Ashland needs the funds? Surely his half of Newman/Locke must be worth way beyond a half billion. Victoria, your plan to get Ashland out is useless. It doesn't exist anymore and you're just tap-dancing. Meanwhile Ashland is getting more and more time to figure out you're playing him. Lemme get this straight, Victor. It's fine and dandy for you to work your kids against each other in competition for your favor but them undermining each other is verboten? Got it. Wish I didn't. 🙄 Seems to me there are plenty of places Victoria could meet privately with Ashland other than a hotel suite. She's giving him opportunity to try to seduce her. Ugh. Good grief, Nikki and Nick. Maybe the reason Adam doesn't act like a team player is because you all treat him like the water boy. After enough Newman family disdain, it stands to reason he'd spin off on his own and try to run his own risky and expensive strategies. In one of the mid-episode interstitials they showed Sharon and Nick standing together like a couple. Are TPTB foreshadowing Shick redux now that Rey is on his way out? Ehhhh. Stupid Victoria cares more about beating Adam than getting Ashland out of her life. And Ashland is beginning to see it. Adam might be her Achilles heel. FOH with your teary-eyed claims you've changed, Ashland. Victoria doesn't owe you the truth or anything else, especially after the mess you've made of her life. Just take the $$$ and run. 👿 WHAAAAAT? Come on, Victor must have an ace up his sleeve. He's not handing Ashland $500M. That's an effing ginormous reward for bad behavior. It would set a bad example to say the least.

I can't even describe how much I don't want this to happen. They've finally gotten Sally to the point where her bad history on B&B isn't dragging her down. For her to be working with Ashland would be a huge step backward IMO. That is unless the writers are determined to keep her as the whipping girl for other characters to look down on. Besides, Sally and Adam are FIRE, baby! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Does the permission slip to go to the zoo include going up in the hot air balloon? I could see that ending badly if a child has a previously unrealized fear of heights. I wasn't ready for how touching this episode turned out to be. Good job, show.

Hmm, in that first scene it looked to me like AH was reading her lines off a prop on Victoria’s desk. 😒 MS got the last pose in the opening credits. Usually EB gets it. That’s interesting. Geez, was Phyllis looking to jump on Jack’s jock or what? Unfortunately for her he was completely clueless, ha ha. Wonder how she kept herself under control during the flight back from L.A.? Seems to me she might’ve had smoother sailing at 35,000 feet above the ground. Locke didn’t take too long to zero in on the key issue: has Victor agreed to hand him $500M to GTFO or is Adam going rogue with daddy’s money? Ashland made a good point. The $500M amount was an odd number for Adam to have chosen, given its significance in Newman family history. I imagine Adam’s net worth is somewhere in the millions but surely it’s not anywhere near $500M. Plus, by now, Abby and Victoria must be worth closer to a billion each by now if they’ve invested well. Nick, OTOH, gave most of his money away at some point, didn’t he? What did Diane do to Abby back in the day? Wasn’t Abby still a child? Phyllis was all but rolling her eyes at Amanda, who was only trying offer a sympathetic ear. (Though perhaps was being a bit pushy about it.) Phyllis should’ve returned the favor and asked Amanda what was going on with her eyebrows. I thought the thinness and high arch of them were giving Amanda a constant "somebody farted” look. 😯 Oh FFS, Ashland, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Running to tattle on Adam about some old, petty Newman ish which doesn’t concern you was not your smartest move. But dang, I gotta give Victor credit for not flinching when Ashland mentioned the amount. Meanwhile, how could Adam not have anticipated Ashland getting Victor to confirm the payoff offer? Or at least mention it to Victoria? Adam probably should’ve talked that plan over with Sally first because she tends to see the angles he doesn’t. Okay, I’m ready for someone to kill Ashland now. As if he hasn’t hurt Victoria enough, why would he ask her if he should take a half a billion dollars to dump her? So unnecessarily cruel. I mean, is it too much or not enough? I am really getting tired of these people saying such and such person “deserves” whatever. Seems to me that’s not a simple judgment to be made, either on behalf of other people or for oneself. Tell Kyle about Diane or don’t but stop moralizing about it while more and more people find out before he does. Uh, Ashley, how is Jack going to keep Diane from returning to GC? Diane is a growna$$ woman and has freedom of movement--for the moment, anyway. Perhaps the Abbotts should alert Victor and Nikki about Diane’s “resurrection” and let nature take its course...😏 Diane has all the nerve showing up at the Gilded Pooper in her glaringly obvious incognito outfit. Apparently she doesn’t know Phyllis owns the joint. Hope the hotel has a back door or Taylor Jenson is gonna get found out real quick. Lily would probably have to be roofied before that happened.

I'm not sure GoFundMe allows raising bail money for people arrested for murder, do they? Either way, $1M bail was probably pocket change to Reed. It seemed to me the judge was a Reed supporter and was deliberately letting him off easy.

Saints be praised! Victoria changed clothes! I'm verklempt! 🙃 Victor was wearing three or four layers of black garments. What's that all about? He looked like the Grim Reaper's slightly younger brother. But Nick was wearing different clothes from yesterday's episode while Sharon had on the same jumpsuit. What is this madness? Ashland was acting oddly introspective. Did he get spooked by something he saw on Adam's notebook or is he suspicious of Victoria? If this is how Victor plays chess I don't see how he ever finishes a game unless he gets checkmated first. This scheme to take down Ashland looks like a lot of smoke and mirrors and spinning plates. It doesn't seem to me Victor has any clue what to do next. I think if it's up to him, Ashland will be attending the Newman Thanksgiving dinner later this year and the Newmans will still be plotting a way to remove him from their lives. Now Ashland has a conscience? Oh please. As soon as Victoria would agree to quit Newman/Locke he'd go "psych!" and take over. WTAF did Sally have on today? The Newman Media staff must rag on her so hard back in their cubicles. I liked her blowout though. That was a nice pep talk Sally gave Adam. She sounded sincere too, not at all like she was only saying what he wanted to hear. He might finally have the right girlfriend. If Ashland was trying to work Sharon he wasted his time. She may not have many talents but she knows how to take sides and hold fast in them. $500M! How does Adam have the authority to offer Locke such a huge payoff? Victor will explode. But then, perhaps Adam is just trying to get Ashland to take the bait.

Ew, D-Mac should be wearing a hazmat suit while dealing with all that dirty cash. Especially in such a small, poorly ventilated space. Claudia sure runs hot and cold. She turns on a dime. "You're either with us or against us." That kind of ultimatum usually doesn't sit well. Not for very long anyway. It might come down to who's going to kill Walter first, Claudia or Vic. The cop shaking down Bennigan is probably about to get dead real soon. He got greedy and overstepped. Is Seamus that short or is Diamond that tall? Where did D-Mac get that bag of Dahlia? Clearly he stole it from Tommy but how and where? The episode was quite whiplash-inducing for me. Too many sudden twists.

Caviar. Whatever. Prince expects his employees to sell themselves relatively cheap if they'resupposed to be wowed by caviar. Rian really thinks a lot of herself. She assumes having slept with Prince would keep him from getting elected POTUS? I don't think that's a thing anymore unless the candidate holds himself and his wife up as an example of a long and faithful marriage. Wait, is Rian basically bragging to her coworkers about it now? Why didn't she just keep it to herself? Even with the NDAs, too many people know about it for it to remain a secret indefinitely. Lol, Wags wanted to solve the Rian problem by killing her. Does that mean he had some bimbo killed for Axe back in the day? AFAIC, Prince basically put Rian in a thot position without her knowledge or permission. Because he could. There must be a media outlet somewhere he hasn't bought out because I want him to get #metoo'd hard. Ugh, Prince can fcuk right off. Maybe he can stand to lose $3B just to eliminate Chuck but that kind of money could've changed millions of people's lives. Meanwhile, he's not guaranteed to win the White House just because he wants it real bad and can afford to buy votes. Dave to the rescue. Yay? Dave butchering "Roxanne." Nay. I didn't realize this was the season finale. Meh.

Louie going straight to Teddy for a deal was interesting. What makes her think Teddy won't rat her out to Franklin at some point? Cissy's hair seems rather 2022 to me. Veronique is finally starting to show. Or is she...? Everyone is doing end runs around Saint. Veronique going to Kane for personal assurances of her safety was odd to me. Like she's okay if he kills the rest of Franklin's crew but she should be spared? Of course Skully put something in the chocolate. Well at least it wasn't Ashwagandha. 🙄 Wanda looked fabulous. Lucky for her she's allergic to chocolate. "Don't give me any tongue!" Say what now? Did Franklin mean "lip"? That seemed like an unintentionally sexual-ish thing for a son to say to his mother, even if he was hallucinating. Parissa is a solid nutbag. She must be putting it on Teddy something fierce because otherwise I can't see why he's still messing with her. Yawn. What was Louie apologizing to Franklin for? The hit she put on Kane? That was almost like when Michael Corleone gave Fredo the kiss of death. Maybe she figures Saint won't survive the ensuing payback so that's why she made a deal with Teddy. This guy Cissy is dealing with is DEA? I thought he was with a Cuban KGB agent. Hmmm. Ditto comments upthread, I didn't need so much of this episode to be devoted to watching people tripping out. That stuff doesn't register for me.

Love the new opening. The FDA funds the swine industry. 🤔 Okay. I actually thought Dr. Hadassah had a good point about the pyramids. See, see, see! Oh hey, Supreme Ramik. How you doin'? OMG, did T.I. write Keisha's jokes? Wanda Sykes has a very distinctive voice. "I work in the Post Office!" Y'all clap weird. So glad this show is back. These are the laughs I need.

Sor-ree! 😉 I just kept imagining Abby singing Edge of Seventeen while staring lovingly at her husband who now looks like he's about 17. Yeah, this is true but IMO the things Diane has done, while not all crimes, are next level. I think faking your death and abandoning your young child is beyond any sin Phyllis has committed. ICAM. I'm probably not ever going to be able to watch B&B again because of her. He's acting super chill, anyway. I think he's still carrying a torch for Tessa but he's hiding it better. Hold on, Noah. Allie's coming! 🥰

Aw, please tell me Allie has not already gotten fillers in her cheeks. I thought her face looked puffier today. 😾 What season is it in GC? Noah was wearing his usual leather jacket, and Faith and Mariah both had on sweaters. But Sharon was sporting a short-sleeved jumpsuit made of a fairly thin fabric. Allie is a bit of a Pollyanna, no? I'm thinking she should not be carrying tales between Diane and Jack (and Phyllis), especially after what she now knows about Diane. That's a lane she should definitely stay out of if she doesn't want to get sucked into a vortex of bitterness, lies, and deception. I don't recall Kyle struggling over Diane's "death," at least not the current version of Kyle. Seems to me he's gotten over it but Diane is about to dredge up all that old misery. 70s glam as the wedding theme. I kinda like it. Wonder who'll dress up as Freddie Mercury or Donna Summer? Rey could come as Tony Montana. "Say 'ello to my little fren!" Chance could be Peter Frampton and Abby could be Stevie Nicks. Nate could be Marvin Gaye. Devon could be Michael Jackson and Amanda = Tina Turner. That was so sweet when Allie hugged Jack. It touched my heart. They've come a long way since they first met. Lol, Chelsea asked Rey out on a date. Connor will chaperone! Yeah, that's the ticket! 🙄 Wait, what? Sharon still has her old wedding dresses? That's hilarious. Hope Mariah doesn't want the one from when Sharon married Victor. Ehhh, is Rey trying to "punish" Sharon for being so chummy with Nick? If so, Chelsea is the last person he should be using to accomplish that. Moron. Hide your kids, hide your wives, hide your husbands, citizens of GC. The bomb cyclone known as Diane Jenkins is heading your way. 🥶

I feel pretty confident the people at SNL did know. It was widely discussed after she died, particularly by people who were angry she had refused to resign back when her replacement could've been someone who was more in line with her views. I suspect Kate McKinnon and the show likely ignore that fact because Kate's portrayal of RBG is farcical and still gets laughs from the audience.

Calling it 15 minutes in: deep fake.(Yep, sorta.) I thought guys like Reed were pro-cop? Unless the cops were trying to qestion or arrest them, I guess. Interesting that Reed got lower bail than the guy he manipulated into committing murderer. Calling it 40 minutes in: Lopez, the killer who turned state's witness, will be found dead before he can testify. (Yep.) Reed caught on hidden camera talking the critical inflammatory shit the prosecution needed. How convenient. A synonym for scrub is "scour." One of its definitions is "to do a thorough search in order to locate something." Therefore, it would be appropriate to say Nolan wanted the videos scoured for incriminating evidence. Oh, I didn't notice him! Was he the IT guy rattling off IP numbers and stuff on the witness stand? I thought it was to be presumed he was deliberately killed. For "ripped from the headlines" reasons. Not everyone watches SVU though. I stopped watching it several seasons ago after it turned, IMO, into the Olivia Bensen Hour.
