Brook Lynn's biggest issue isn't that Lulu knows. It's that Chase clearly wants the whole story to come out so he can have it out with Dante. So he's going to just keep confronting Lulu and Dante until the truth ends up coming out. Even if Drew does manage to prove that there were drugs in his system, and swears up and down he didn't take them, Willow would be smart to pump the brakes for now. She's worried about what it could mean that Michael didn't want to talk to her, and now Drew has been all over the media with his wild night out. Her best option would be to slow way down with Drew and move the kids back out of his house. It would also be hilarious if Drew's manipulations to make sure Willow didn't get to talk to Michael ended up being a big part of the reason she pulled back from him. I still love seeing Dante parent both Rocco and Danny.

The hobo's whole "but you were apologetic, and Hope hasn't apologized" might hold a teeny tiny grain of truth to it if not for one little detail - well before Carter apologized and gave the company back, the Hobo and his gaggle of assholes were already saying that Carter was led astray by Hope, and that she was the worse of the two. And then there was his response to Carter saying the takeover was his idea: "Yes, but she cheered you on!" Like that's somehow worse than taking the fucking company over? Also, I wish that, when he whined about how Hope hasn't apologized yet, Carter would have responded with "have you apologized to Hope for calling her a bitch and a slut yet?" Why is this show acting like Hope and Carter were some grand love story for the ages? They were two pretty people who were basically just like "well, we're two of the only single people in L.A., so..." Once every two to three years, Steffy does the right thing. So, today she told Liam he needs to tell Hope about his condition. And she didn't act like a psycho bitch when Hope showed up and dared to speak to and smile at Steffy's Husband. Hope would have been well within her rights to tell Liam that, while she has no say in where he stays, she absolutely does not want her daughter around a woman who spends 75% of her days bitching about how awful Hope is.

Brooke really just wants everything to always be sunshine and roses, doesn't she? Telling Hope how she was missed at the fashion show? Like she just had a conflict in her schedule and couldn't make it? No, dear, your "destiny" and his bitchass daughter would have probably called the cops if Hope showed up for the show. Stop kidding yourself. And, please, stop groveling to that waffling hobo. Do you think the writers realize that the urgency of the "Liam's dying!!!" storyline gets severely watered down when we just don't see it for a week? I still laugh when I remember her bragging to Brooke about how strong her relationship is with Ridge "we're living together at Eric's house." Like that's something a grown ass woman should be bragging about?

"I'm not an insecure person." Yeah, that whole trying to go through with the wedding before telling Ridge that Brooke didn't make the CPS call just screamed of a secure person. Beige has zero self awareness. She might actually be an interesting character if she was remotely the person she imagines herself to be. OK, Katie, I'm all in on you busting Pepe LePew, but could you do me a favor and not bust her until Carter is all in with her? That would be the most fun for me, personally. Fingers crossed that you find out that his "brother" Ridge knew all about this before you bust it wide open, too. Because I think we all know that, if Carter starts a relationship with Pepe, Ridge is going to be all supportive and talk about how much better she is for him than Hope. So, Carter finding out that Ridge knew all along that Pepe was there to seduce him into turning the company over would just be the best.

So, I knew they wouldn't actually kill off Sonny, but they couldn't throw us a bone and kill off Brick? Dammit, show. I wasn't paying a ton of attention while watching yesterday, so do we know if the professor came to PC before or after Emma did? Because I figure this story is going one of two ways - either he's obsessively stalking Emma, which could be the case if he got to PC after her, or Emma is also WSB, and she got herself kicked out of school to follow him to PC. Are Morgan and Mike spending their afterlife playing rock, paper, scissors to see which one of them needs to go talk Sonny through his various crises?

I loved every minute of Beige and her spawn getting their faces cracked over and over today. And I laughed at Steffy being so confused to find out Eric was behind it. What, did she think Brooke made that dress herself? Stole it and managed to fit it to herself instead of the model without anyone knowing? I want to see Eric sit her down and have a talk with her about her repeatedly allowing her personal animosity towards the Logans to override what's best for the company. She made it clear today that it wasn't just her bullshit with Hope. She stood there and argued with Eric over something that was already done, that he deemed to be best for business, something that was a wild success, because she was pissed off that it involved Brooke. Eric asking Steffy to step away from the co-CEO position for a while would be a good prelude to getting her offscreen for JMW's maternity leave. I rolled my eyes at Electra fangirling over Spencer and Heidi. She's about a decade too young to even know who they are, let alone be all in awe of being in their presence.

Unfortunately, I know that's a thing that can happen. Of course, in Cody's case, it was less "oh dear God, are you people going to let me die in your waiting room?" than "we need him in the waiting room to run into Molly, because he and Molly must run into each other everywhere they go now, so the audience will know they're meant to be a couple."

I agree. I want Brooke to find her backbone with him and turn him down when he inevitably tries to get her back. Then he can slink back to Beige, and she'll pathetically take him back, knowing she's always going to be second choice and only has him because his first choice doesn't want him.

God help me, I think I like Cody and Molly. And approximately 10,000% of the credit for that goes to Cody/JK. On a related note, Cody had better not get too much shit when the whole BLQ/Dante/Gio truth comes out. Come on whoever you are in those scrubs, get the job done! Do us all a solid. As a bonus, if Sonny is no longer, that lowers the risk of more Brick sightings. I'm really just not getting what Drew's point is in damn near anything he's doing. He's spreading his scheming self too thin, with less than zero hint of why he's doing anything he does. You've got to start giving us some kind of clue, show.

Beige's delusions crack me up. "Ridge will notice I'm missing and come looking for me," right after he waved Steffy off with zero concern when she was looking for her. I'll be shocked if Beige hasn't twisted the lock-in to being something Brooke did to her by mid-week. We'll have months of her and Steffy ranting about how that was all Brooke's fault, and part of her dastardly plan to wear the show stopper to try to steal Beige's man. I have to say that, at the end there, that very well may be the happiest I've seen Ridge look during TK's entire run on the show. Sorry, Beige, he just doesn't light up like that for you. And watching Beige and her daughter helplessly watch it all from the sidelines was perfection. I can't wait until Steffy finds out that her beloved grandpa was the brains behind that and is pushing Ridge to go back to Brooke. Those previews. It seems like Carter is the real slut here, just running back and forth between begging Hope to take him back and basking in Pepe's come-ons. And you just know that if Hope did stupidly take him back, he'd be cheating on her with Pepe before long. He'd just give up and go with Pepe now if he didn't need the validation of Hope thinking he's a good man, or something. It's clear he wants to bang Pepe, but he just can't get over the fact that Hope dumped him for letting her down. They were MTV reality stars around 15-20 years ago. I never watched any of the MTV shows, but they were in Us Weekly incessantly back then. The gist of what I got from that was that they decided that being the "villains" of the show would get them a higher profile/more money, and they were very desperate famewhores. At one point, to get attention, she had like 10 plastic surgery procedures in the same day. I had no idea they were still even a thing until I saw they were going to be on for this fashion show. Also, dear God, did I hear one of the Forresters saying they were doing a collaboration with Heidi and Spencer? Please don't let them be on any more after this.

This. Carter gets lauded at the fashion show for the changes he made when he took over the company, while Hope is a manipulative bitchwhoretrampslut who made him take over the company so he could make all those changes. Make it make sense, show.

I'm going to die laughing if they pretend it was meant for Beige. Because, sure, a dress designed for her is going to perfectly fit Brooke, too. Oh, good, Katie's on the case. Pepe's secret should be busted wide open soon enough. Yep, there she goes. Go Katie. Beige had better shackle herself to the Hobo, because his thoughts are clearly going to start wandering. Sigh... Really, Katie? It's Carter you're protecting in all this, and not your niece? Fine, whatever, just take down Pepe, please. Liam's new living arrangement? Does this mean that Liam and Finn are about to become true sister wives? By "congratulate," do they mean he says "you did a great job with the jewelry line at the show. Now, let's have sex," or something equally smooth and charming? That's the tumor talking, Hope. Don't listen to him.

How are they ready to do a full fashion show five minutes after getting the company back? "We live together. We're building a future!" Beige, honey, you're squatting together at Eric's house. If you were really "building a future," you'd be out there getting your own place together. But your hobo doesn't bother getting his own place, because he knows he'll just flop back and forth from daddy's house to Brooke's house until the day he dies. You're a placeholder to keep his bed warm until he decides Brooke has suffered enough penance for "betraying" him. Also, did Beige just grab the sheets off their bed and call it a dress? I laughed at Beige trying to tell on Brooke to Eric, and Eric not giving a single fuck, as he walks away with Brooke. Carter spent yesterday begging Hope to take him back. And then today, he's right back at Pepe's side, not doing a single thing to discourage her, even though she's made it clear she's after him. Steffy's friends with Heidi and Spencer? That tracks.

Drew says it was petty of Michael to have Willow served with divorce papers in DC. Would you say, Drew, that it was more or less petty than trying to tear down a family crypt? It must have freaked Drew out that Willow was insisting on going to see Michael even after he tried to manipulate her into not going. Tracy getting to speak truth about Sonny/Michael/AJ was nice.

"I should name a breakfast waffle after him." I love Deacon. I realized while watching today, that there would have been way more drama to this whole thing if it was Hope who had found Liam and now knew about his condition. Hope and Finn knowing and having conversations about this while Steffy has no idea would create all kinds of drama. Finn talking about the bond between fathers and daughters like he was today would naturally bring Luna to mind, and Hope would actually listen to him talk about how he's feeling about finding out she's his daughter. He could talk about how watching Liam try to literally fight death to be with his daughters is making him question whether he can stay away from Luna. Because he's not going to be allowed to utter even a syllable of those thoughts to Steffy. Carter, kindly fuck right off. Is he so smug and stupid that he thinks "see, so you understand now that I was right," is going to get Hope back? She should have told him to leave. Why are all of Hope's recent scenes in Brooke's house?

Wait until Kelly gets a load of Peepaw calling women sluts and bitches.

I legitimately laughed out loud at that last line. Having seen the lineup of "stars," why in the fuck is anyone still trying to make Spencer & Heidi happen? I'm assuming the surprise is somehow related to Beige locking herself and Brooke into a closet. Maybe that somehow leads to Pepe having to wear the showstopper, which, of course, leads to the Hobo proposing to her, because that's just what he does. (I will not stop wanting the Hobo and Pepe together, show. Come on, do it!)

"Liam and Kelly just had a beautiful moment. He can't be dying." Um, Steffy, do you not remember any of the circumstances of that beautiful moment? How he had to basically escape from the hospital, and how he almost passed out like four different times during the night? And Finn doesn't even stay with them to answer any questions Liam might have when his ex-wife tells him he's dying? Poor Liam can't even have a fatal tumor without playing second fiddle to Steffy in the story. I would love for Beige to be making yet another one of her pop-ins at FC just in time to overhear Eric propping Brooke to the Hobo. It made me laugh remembering how she cited them living together in Eric's house as some bizarre proof of the strength of their relationship. Although maybe that's why Eric is pushing Brooke, she has her own place, and Eric and Donna are tired of walking in on the Beige-ing in their living room. I was thinking the same thing during today's show.

All we would have needed was one scene of Finn asking Liam "is it OK if we discuss your case with Steffy?" Or Finn saying something like "I'm only telling you all of this because Liam gave his permission for us to discuss his case with you." Instead, we've just got Finn throwing HIPAA out the window and not only talking to Steffy in detail about Liam's case, but giving her this info before Liam is told. So inappropriate. And, of course, the mother of Liam's other daughter still has no idea he's sick at all. We could have had scenes of Beth asking Hope where Liam is, saying he's missed two good night calls in a row, and Hope becoming concerned, but trying to cover up that concern so Beth doesn't get upset. Instead, we get Beige and the Hobo talking about Liam.

This is exactly what it is. She's an officer of the company, so her having been married to him was a potential conflict of interest, and she didn't disclose it to them. Most companies would fire her under those circumstances.

This is what I was thinking if she goes somewhere with Liam - Finn will be home alone, without the warden to forbid him. And you know that, as soon as Sheila and Luna figure out Steffy's out of town, they'll be running over to see him.

I laughed out loud when I saw that Finn texted Steffy that kind of news. Also, that text should have come with an "and, by the way, I wouldn't let him drive Kelly anywhere right now." Hey, Beige and Hobo? If you don't want to be walked in on by the owners of the house you're squatting in, keep your beige-ing in your room. Or, you know, get your own place. And, phew, they went on about the wonders of Steffy. I was concerned we might get through the episode without anyone giving Steffy a tongue bath. Crisis averted! I wonder if Beth is going to get any sweet moments with Liam, too, or if Kelly is going to be the only daughter that matters. It's still infuriating that Hope hasn't been informed that her daughter's father is in the hospital. As Steffy pointed out, Beth is probably asking the same "where's daddy" questions that Kelly has, and Hope isn't armed with the knowledge of where he actually is. My guess for JMW's maternity leave is that she's going to go with Liam to an overseas clinic that has some kind of experimental treatment.

Luna: "But Steffy won't allow him to have a relationship with me." Sheila: "Have you considered shooting her?" Uh-oh, Li, did you get Steffy's express written consent to mention Luna's name to Finn? When Deacon said that Luna should be in prison, I wanted Hope to respond with "you know, dad, a lot of people say that about your wife, too." Sheila's delusions about her relationship with Finn have somehow gone from annoying me to making me laugh. She just thinks she can pop into his office for a chat, and he'll be happy to see her. Also, KB is TN's best scene partner. He is always noticeably better in scenes opposite her.

I definitely don't want Brooke back with the hobo, but I will still laugh my ass off at Beige when he gets jealous and goes running to Brooke.

It shows that they let Liam's medical crisis sit too many episodes when, as I saw Steffy's Husband trying to comfort Steffy, I was trying to figure out what she needed comforting over this time. Before that, though, I was afraid we were about to get more Steffy gets hot talking about her parents for sexy times, so her fretting over Liam and then Steffy's Husband saying he had to get to the hospital to check on his sister-wife, Liam, was a relief. I keep expecting to see Remy listening in on a Luna/Sheila conversation about Will, so we can get to him joining the two of them in scheming to break up Will and Electra. Also, if Will/Electra is actually supposed to be the root-for couple, I hate to break it to the show, but Will and Luna had more chemistry in her fantasy sequence than he and Electra have had in their entire relationship. Liam going on about how he wants to give Kelly a night to remember at her dance - yep, she's definitely going to remember the night her father collapses in the middle of the dance floor. Also, it is insanely irresponsible for him to not let Hope, as the mother of one of his children, know what is going on. Yay, Bridget! Are we going to get her and Finn exchanging steamy glances over Liam's body in the OR? Because that was probably the best part of the Eric's sickness storyline.
