I know, right? The entire Prevert Nation echoed this question. My next thought was how was she going to get to Vic's place. I mean, the house is nowhere near the neighborhood of the bar, that's for sure. Did she climb into a Lyft? Take the bus? And....where the fuck do people like her and Phylth get all this money to carry out their crazy plans? Is there some kind of government program that subsidizes this?

I tend to nod off while I watch so let me see if I got the timeline right here: Seth completely goes off script and confronts "Isabelle" with her lies and then somehow thinks he is going to haul her ass out to the raunch for her comeuppance. Izzy wants some air and he follows her outside to keep an eye on her but wanders off to take Drinkki's unfortunately timed call. Seizing the moment, Izzy shoves Seth in front of a speeding car that apparently drives off after smushing Seth. Izzy runs back into the bar, frantic for someone to call 911 (although she does have a phone) but takes the time to tell the barkeep that Seth wanted to kill himself because he done Nikki Newman wrong and he (the barkeep) must call Nikki right away! Then Bad Cop calls Nikki and tells her the tragic news without even verifying with the witness (who is now absent and donning a new persona) what the actual facts of the case are. She takes the word of the barkeep, who has taken the word of the frantic woman who has been boozing it up in his bar for some time and is now suspiciously absent. This whole scenario seems just a tad rushed. Then we see Nikki's reaction to The Call and I know she will find a quart of Wodka to down and when Jordan gets to the raunch Drinkki will use her breath and a Bic to flamethrow Jordan into oblivion. Dracarys! Oops. I dozed off again.

I was wondering where she was getting the money to finance her fantasy. But didn't that money go to pay off some other debt she had? Is she still working for Daniel as a super computer whiz? Community service doesn't pay, but then she's not doing that anyhow. She seems to have a pretty large wardrobe budget. What's her secret? Assuming that Society is not a fast food chain, I think there would be a Chef running the kitchen and I don't think there is a Chef alive that would appreciate someone else coming in and messing with their kitchen. This isn't the first time this has happened-Assley and Tucker invaded it and left a mess all over. Guess it's ok to walk all over 'the help' if you pay them enough. Also wondering what Phylth's endgame is. The dinner, the dancing, the kissing and a little inandout on the dining room floor? In front of all those windows?!

Oh, ffs, is there no end to this bitch? What, is she also going to need a room for her and Danny to really get into the 'sauce'? And what is it with these aholes taking over a business establishment (that have employees that rely on the business) for their own personal gratification? I asked this question when Michael and Lauren renewed their wedding vows. Don't you think the usual patrons (Other than Newmans and Abbots), wanting to have a gourmet night out replete with large black cups and black silverware* would be just a little pissed to wander up to their favorite restaurant and find it locked up but apparently serving two people? And while I'm on a question roll again, why the fuck does Danny think it's a good idea to cook her dinner anyhow? He's (almost) made it clear to us that he sees she's manipulating him into a relationship that doesn't exist. Then he agrees to cook up his special sauce, as what? A going away gift? Does he not see that they are not talking about the same sauce?! *Thank god they ditched the napkins with the black balls.

Friday Rant in Question Form: Doesn't anyone in GC know how to send a call to VM or block it? Or maybe just not answer it? Have none of the other patrons of the GCAC complained about the constant confrontations/arguments occurring on a daily basis in the dining area? When will there be actual interviews to fill positions that require some experience, expertise and possibly, education? [looking at you Tessa, Chance, Esther, Diane, Sharon......well, practically everyone in GC] Is there an actual criminal justice system, including a probation officer in GC? I don't think you can just pop out to visit your friend who lives in another state, Phylth. And how's that community service going? I've spent more time on dental work than Claire has on mental work. Does no one have at least a little concern that moving her into the Raunch might result in the culmination of the original revenge plot? (With or without Jordan.) Will Tucker be made the Host of the GCAC? He looked so relaxed and at home in the lobby the other day. He should have had a drink in hand and been circulating the room to see if everyone was having a good time. Will Adam and Gaspy/Breathless stop confusing OCD with a terminal illness? Inquiring minds probably don't give a damn.

Glad to see you back, Artsda. Missed you!

It confuses me when she gives her worried family that look [the smug glossy lipped smile, batting of eyelashes and bobblehead shake of her head] of "Ha, Ha, I got you to worry about me and I'm not going to do anything you say and I'm going to do some more stupid sh!t so you'll be chasing after me like Benny Hill and whee, I'm woman, hear me roar!" Wonder what she would would do if everyone just said "fuck it, do what you want." I'm not buying she has real mental issues, I just think she's a spoiled rotten brat. Chance hasn't quite mastered the buttoning of the jacket when standing up. Whenever I have that feeling I check the expiration date on whatever I just ate. Maybe Danny will include Lauren and Traci to sing with him and Cricket, too. Phylth would have a fit. And I still say this is going to be Devon enlisting Tucker to run the stupid thing.

Well, Adam was skeptical of the doctor who was seeing Connor and diagnosing his condition. So, of course, the logical next step would be to consult Dr. Sharon who has so much "my training". She talks as if she is a practicing therapist and keeps up with all the latest information. She also "knows" some people to refer Adam to. Where did she find the time to keep up with her "practice" when she's running around as a CEO, running a coffee shop and killing off stalkers and fucking Chance? The woman's a powerhouse! Or maybe her bi-polar condition allows her to get twice as much done. I was watching "Suits" when the reference to Megan Markle was made and I just thought it was because they resembled each other and that they are both very beautiful women.

Well, yeah, right after he grows a pair and stops letting them into his personal space. Instead of shutting the door on Phylth and locking it he lets her in to say one. more. thing. Which, if he has been paying attention at all, he already knows what that one thing is. And then we have Christine serendipitously show up and he lets her in! Man up, Danny. You can't get a restraining order if you are abetting the harasser. Judge: Mr. Romalatti, did the accused break into your home? Danny: No, I let her in. Judge: Hmmm, did you ask her to leave? Danny: Yes. Judge: Did she leave? Danny: No. She moved towards me in a provocative way and then the doorbell rang. It was my other girlfriend, Cricket, whom I would also like to file a restraining order on. Then the girls got into a fight over me and I left. Judge: Order denied. Grow a pair. Prunella is the Private Reserve of Pruno, aka Jailhouse Wine. Phylth was incarcerated just long enough to get the recipe. When Chance mentioned a music festival my mind went right to Tucker being the promoter for it which leads him to a reconciliation with Devon.

This had me worrying that if Tucker goes, whoever killed him should also go (prison or non-extradition country) and I couldn't figure which main character the Show could lose. Then I realized that none of the GC elite ever go to jail for their crimes-or even get convicted of them. (Nick, Victurd, Nikki, Phylth) They get community service that they don't have to do. I hate the two-tier justice stories, they drag on so and are criminally factually inaccurate, so please, don't kill off Tucker! Maybe he'll be the one to kill Tucker...😟

I was trying to figure out how she got in and then thought she probably still has the key from when she was Mrs. Tucker. Then I got pissed because the show didn't even have the courtesy to show how she got in (like finessing a housekeeper to believe she is Mrs. Tucker or some such thing) and I have to do the heavy lifting. I'm calling this now: Victurd will be in the 'gym' punching his heavy bag when Jordan and Seth confront the lone Nikki (since Vicboria had to conveniently go check on Clair). The Crack Security Team will see no need to accompany the Dastardly Duo, even if they do smell a lot of alcohol. But not to worry, dear reader, since Nikki is indeed in control of her Sobriety. (is there a Best Inanimate category for 'Sobriety'?) Seth will be waving a quart bottle of Wodka as a peace offering, but in his drunken state (three beers will do that, you know) he smacks Jordan in the nose, knocking off her glasses. Jordon screams in pain and lobs a few unkind words to Seth, who then goes hands and knees on the floor to retrieve the glasses. Nikki is standing there all snooty as hell and demanding to know what Jordan thinks she can do to her (Nikki's) Sobriety. Meanwhile, Viktor hears loud voices and since Nikki only speaks in whispers, he rightly assumes something is amiss topside. He runs into the room, the picture of virility (replete with Black T-shirt of Virility) ready to save his Baby Baby Sweet Baby. Meanwhile, Jordan has retrieved the Wodka, pushes Nikki into Victurd's leather throne and is attempting to pour it down her throat. In his heroic haste, Victurd fails to see Seth on the floor (possibly passed out from the three beers or this whole fucking boring storyline) and trips over him. Jordan is distracted as he starts to fall into her and Nikki's quick-wits-from-Sobriety allow her to push Jordan away. Jordan falls towards Victurd who virally flips her over the couch onto the chessboard where she lands eye-first onto the queen (the gold one) and maybe a bishop in the other eye and, what the hell, a king in the ear, and dies. Victurd and Nikki high-five and each take a swig from the Wodka bottle. Seth crawls away. fini

Well, this explains the mystery of why there must be so many co-CEOs. Somebody has to do it.

You will be needing rehab more than Nikki does if you do.😉

Is she still running her 'company' out of the Revolving Door Suite in the GC? If she does have an office somewhere, why are they meeting at CL for business talk? Buy a freakin' Keurig for crying out loud. How is it any different for Adam to go begging for money than if Sally did? And, please, Chloe, shut the fuck up!

=rim shot= (nice one, Waldo).

She showed up on the Archer series in Malory Archer's office. Traci always looks as if she's overreacting because of her sincere, teary wide-eyed delivery of her assurances that family love will solve all. She's actually the only one with enough sense to investigate further than just one waiter and to even set up a sting to find out if Tucker really did buy them off. (Which I find way too labor intensive and expensive even for Tucker.) Jack reminds me of a chicken after the head comes off. I think Diane is just wondering why they are not putting their time/concern to better use and getting Assley into therapy. Her demands that they have to be on her side (no matter what) because "you all know how Tucker is" really need to be ignored and more attention paid to what she's doing to herself. During the whole debate with Audra and Tucker about whether he was still wanting to see Assley and how he would walk to the other side of the street if he saw her coming I kept asking myself: Why don't they just pack up and leave GC? Isn't Glissade in Paris? Neither has a job in GC-they just lounge around the watering holes and then go have sex. Of course, Assley would hop on the company jet and go track them down if they did.

Hmmmm, many decades ago? Could it have been Danny Romalotti?

Danny may not be his bio father but Daniel certainly learned something from his "daddy": Don't accept blame when you can conveniently turn the tables. Danny walks out of CL blaming his discomfort (read: inability to see Christine's side and actually act on that) on Phylth and Christine and the drama they are causing. He also blames Christine for the problem because he needs to have Phylth in his life as a friend. (I don't have any friends that slither up on me when I'm with someone else or who plant a lip-lock on me. Or who come to my house and insist that I love them and want them and have real feelings for them. That's not a friend-that's a psycho stalker.) Here's a tip, Danny. Stop flashing the Polident smile every time Phylth grabs your johnson. And while I'm handing out advice to the love-lorn: FFS Christine, when you walk into a place to get coffee and you see the loveofyourlife not telling the bitch who ruined your weekend at the cabin to fuck off, turn around and walk out. There has to be a Dunkin' Donuts somewhere in GC. And, yes, I did get steamed when Jack walks in all upset about Drinnki's Sobriety, immediately goes to the bar and pours a coupla fingers of single malt and then waves it around the room as he explains to Diane his frustration at not being seen as the Best AA Sponsor ever. Substance abuse comes in many forms, Jack. (Question: why was it not ok for Seth to be drinking and it's ok for Jack? Even if his addiction was only pills, he could still have alcohol on his breath or even be three sheets to the wind when a call for help comes in.)

I imagine the cost of living at the GCAC (even with a membership) is pretty steep. And I don't see anybody buying her dinner/lunch/breakfast in the high end dining room that often. and it was fun right to the point that Lauren had to translate it (word forOMG word) for us textdummies. Really? Because apparently they still have the set of the bar that Catherine's sadface granddaughter owned and the place where Billy and Vic fell into each other. Actually, it does make sense since she doesn't want to be seen by anyone she knows and there are only three other bars in GC. She could go to the Top of the Towers (no need to drive!) since no one goes there anymore.

I'm so confused. So the bad guy who had been in prison (apparently off and on) left a viable company to Sharon. Doesn't that mean the company already has corporate offices in somewhere? Also a functioning company with CEO and COO and CFO and all that good stuff? And what has the company been doing during the time Sharon has been brokering mergers with Nick and Adam and then going solo and NOW partnering with CW? (Off shore money laundering?) WTF does this company do anyhow? I can't believe that Sharon is running it from her laptop. Both my daughters-in-law telecommute, but they have to meet at the physical offices at times. Some things can't be done over zoom. So where is Sharon's company based?

Somewhere in this last week I had a minor epiphany. I remembered Assley telling Jack, when she got back from her Paris honeymoon, about the scene in the cafe/bistro/food truck and what we saw when she described it (via that first blackandwhite flashback crap) was the version Tucker has. I remember her "frightened" look when he stormed out and thinking she was being just a titch over-dramatic for him just being plenty pissed. I'm pretty sure the breaking glass and furniture part came later as Assley embellished the story with each telling. Soooo glad we're back- I missed y'all.

Tight diapers? I heard this as "Hindenberg" and thought, how appropriate and nice foreshadowing. ETA: after reading the predictions of fire I'm pretty sure the prediction of a fire in the hospital is a done deal. I hope Jordan hurries it up, because I don't want to spend months with the Newman's whinging over whether Jordan is out there and when she will attack. I've had enough of that kind of sh!t from Assley.

Yes! I get that this was just a (stupid) story concocted to let the Lily actor have maternity leave, but couldn't a better, more believable story been concocted? I would have believed her being on a book tour for her bestseller: How to Succeed as a CEO (when you know absolutely nothing about business). We don't know anything about this couple since the story has been on hold for the last 10 years. We didn't know if they are married or why they are not. We didn't know if Heather adopted DaisySpawnLucy. For years this couple has been throw away lines when Phylth needs to bring up her motherhood. And now we are subjected to the fastest reconciliation ever over lunch. He went from "I have to think about this" in his condo to "It's the happiest thing we can do" in Society. No good will come from this. When he said he wanted to wait until Lily got back I saw the ice water in Heather's veins start to boil. I hope Lily takes one look at them when she gets back and says "See ya, losers." just so I won't have to FF thru the inevitable discussions about true love.

Guess she used that contraband cell phone to call a Lyft.

Probably not. There would be a contract and I don't think there's a "no cheating on my sister" clause. He could, possibly, remove Heather from her job for fraternizing with a co-worker/employee. Assuming that is even a policy at CW.
