I missed that, but, at this point, nothing would surprise me. I swear, I remember liking Nik at one point. It's like each writing regime has ruined him in their own special way.

I kind of want Ivy to just walk out. Not without Liam knowing she saw them and all, but I want her to walk out because this shit is Liam in a nutshell. He doesn't have enough respect for whatever relationship he is in at any given moment to not continue to put himself in this situation and to not stop things in their tracks when they get like this. It strokes his ego that Steffy is still sitting there professing her love for him. So even though he says "I'm in love with someone else," he still doesn't put an end to the situation. Steffy is still sitting there in his living room, still right in his personal space, and still, eventually, getting her surgically enhanced lips all over him. But, afterwards, he can tell himself "hey, I told her I was in love with someone else." And Steffy knows that, no matter what he says, he's going to let her kiss him, and flirt with him, and get close to him. Because this shit is what Waffles does. Eric...dude...I mean...

I couldn't stand Britt, but still... I have zero doubt that Nik, if anyone even dared bring up the hypocrisy, would respond that Britt's "betraying lies!!!!" broke him and led him down this terrible path. Or some such shit. Nik is never, ever, responsible for his own shit. It's always some woman's fault somehow.

I've had a 103 fever all freaking week, and they gave me FUN!!Steffy! I was pissed. And I sat there in sheer terror that we'd also get a "cha cha cha" before the episode ended. I have the Death Flu, show, don't do this shit to me.

So..today happened.... Liam is feeling frisky and wants Ivy to hang out a little longer in the morning or play hooky with him. She can't, but, don't worry, Liam, FUN!!Steffy is still in town. Watch FUN!!Steffy put on a bikini! And it's only 50something degrees out!! Watch FUN!!Steffy double dog dare you to go swimming with her! It's FUN!!Steffy! Lord. Eric. Oh, Eric.

I really think that Brooke just didn't want to be the bad girl who had stolen her sister's man. So she figured she'd make one last ditch grand gesture to give Katie a chance to get back with Bill, it wouldn't work, and when she came back to town and Bill was waiting with open arms, she'd look somewhat better in this whole mess, because, well, she tried. It's not her fault that, even given time and space without her around, Bill and Katie just could not get it together. I don't think she genuinely wanted Ridge when she came back, but when she found out that Bill was with Katie and Ridge was getting involved with Rick's wife, she decided she should swoop in and reclaim Ridge to get him out of Caroline's clutches.

So I've been watching this week through a fever-y haze, but did I really, yesterday, hear Carly say to Michael that he knows how good it was for him to grow up with Sonny's love? Really, Cujo? Yes, because who else could have loved him enough to get him shot, in a coma for a year, thrown into jail and raped, etc? Jackie and Tony were really good together today. Tony went off on a scenery chewing binge when left alone, but the two of them really brought out the best in each other.

I would totally watch that. (Of course, my secret Y&R shame is that I would be SO there for a Nikki/Neil drunken relationship.) Of course Katie needed Brooke to be her matron of honor. Her win isn't complete without that victory lap. And was it me, or was Brooke's dress kind of a blue version of the red dress Scarlett wore to Melanie's party? The show right now feels like they're at a point where they're not entirely sure how they want to move forward with anything. it's weird.

So, I'm sick as hell. The fever dream I had earlier was better than that Kanye shit. Why, SNL? Why??

I'm almost certain Ron includes that in the "Special Skills" section of his resume.

I have to say that I think Sabrina talking to Michael will bother me the least. At least it's likely that she won't be coming from a standpoint of "OMG, Sonny and Carly are amazing parents! Forgive them! Love them!!" It will most likely be her speaking from her own experience that revenge can twist you up inside and lead you down a dark path.

I didn't see the second half of today yet, but did Moobsy and Cujo just show up and demand that Kiki hand over Avery? And she did? I did see that she called Alexis over for a consultation, did Alexis not point out to her that Sonny has not legally established his claim to the baby? And she could have told him to go kick rocks unless a judge actually orders her to hand the baby over to him? Or was Cujo standing behind Moobsy, snarling and dangling the AJ Quartermaine Memorial Meat Hook to intimidate her into handing the baby over?

On the plus side for Jonna, I think that Zach was finally enough of an asshole that she's over him. I hope she maintains the "I don't even want to look at him or be around him" attitude after this is over. He was such a verbally abusive asshole last night.

Well, it kind of tilts the playing field if the Q's (and any non-mob characters) are never allowed to get their hands a little dirty when dealing with the Moobster and his ilk. Are the Q's just supposed to let Sonny take Michael without so much as a token effort at fighting back, because, well, mobster are going to do bad shit, and decent people aren't allowed to fight back? Nothing the Q's did measured up to a meat hooking (until AJ joined Faith in the kidnapping because he wanted to be with his son...who was stolen from him...by the Moobster and company). I can't whitewash everything bad Sonny does with "well, he's a mobster, he's supposed to do bad stuff" and then tar and feather the Q's for daring to fight back when Sonny's bad stuff is shit like meat hooking AJ and stealing his child.

Seriously. She once convinced an entire town that Pillowena was a real pregnancy, and now she can't sustain a "shit my car's been stolen" lie to a block of wood?

They need to seriously consider my suggestion that, once a week, they do a closing credits scene of MB, RoHo, and ME hanging out with babies. I really wish that, yesterday, when Olivia was going on and on to Michael about how she knows what he's going through, he would have said "So what you're saying is, maybe I'll get lucky and someone will off Sonny?"

I have been thinking the same about whoever does HT's surgeries for years. At some point, you have to realize that the woman needs some therapy. Of course, then I guess that's why her work is so bad - the really good doctors won't just keep cutting and cutting to the degree she seems to want. it's beyond embarrassing that a woman Brooke's age decides to throw on her bikini as part of her ploy to lure in a man who's interested in someone else. Have a little self-respect, Brooke.

I tend to think it's fake. I think Nattie and TJ were the only couple where both participants are more than willing to do whatever the show wants to get the attention, so they got the marital trouble story line, possibly once WWE "sweetened" the deal by agreeing to carry the story line over into the ring, too, which, from my limited recent viewing, is getting TJ much more attention as a wrestler than he had been getting. And Nattie probably feels like she's being pushed out of the divas picture (ring-wise) by the Bellas, Paige, AJ, etc, so this is a way for her to stay on camera.

So, I assume that Ridge and Caroline needed to shower to get all that paint off before they went to sleep. Any chance that's in a bonus scene? I don't know that I can take Liam and Wyatt seriously as the corporate sharks they're trying to be here. And was that shot of Rick interspersed in their scene supposed to mean that he is on to them or that he's sitting there, smugly, not aware of what's being plotted?

I think they're paying Rebecca in tweets.

Maybe she's Fluke.

I can only hope that their emphasis on "Killer" role means she's a serial killer coming to town to off half the cast. Hey, Rebecca, I've got a list for you!

Rebecca Budig. Well, on the plus side, she can't be playing Greenlee...

I'm 99.9% sure they scripted this back and forth last night and thought it would play as witty, off the cuff banter or some such shit.

Lord, the back and forth between Frank and Ron trying to draw out the suspense. They may as well just be tweeting "I'm awesome!" "OMG! I'm awesome, too!" "I love me!" "I love me, too!" This is a whole new level of believing your own press. Jasus, they're obnoxious.
