Culture Check: How can we discuss a character's or actor's appearance without objectifying them? How can we express likes or dislikes and still respect an individual's humanity or be mindful that a character represents a person someone else might relate to or identify with?

Jason being willing to move into Chez Quartermaine is the most he's done for any one of his kids ever. Dante must be rubbing off on him.

Molly seem to be a zero sum game: either she's good with TJ or she's good with Kristina. Under this writing team, not both.

I am so bored by Ava's trial.

 As bad as Drew is, this type of karma could not have happened to better people. Curtis and Michael both suck.

They all deserve each other. Karma is sweet.

Is it an overstep? Portia is doing a professional review of Elizabeth's team, actions of which could have led to a patient's death. If I were Elizabeth, I'd definitely have my union rep there to make sure Portia doesn't railroad me into something. We know she has no compunction blaming others.

Ordinarily a union rep would only come on the scene when someone was being accused, not when they were trying to figure out what went on. But good point, Portia is not above blaming an innocent person to get the situation out of her hair.

As weird as it is to say, Sam dying has been the best thing to happen to Jason in a long time.  I mean he’s been downright human lately.  I liked how he went to Dante to discuss Danny.  And although it’s never a good idea to get violent, it was really scummy of Drew to act like Jason just punched him out of nowhere and he might be violent with the kids.  He knows full well the reason and he’s just being a jerk.  Per usual.

Hey, Gio, just because the door is unlocked doesn't mean you can just walk in without permission. (Side note to Trina and Joss: Keep your front door locked all the time! Good lord.)

LOL that Gio thinks being like Curtis is "a huge compliment." You don't know him very well, that's for sure.

"You paid off the judge." "You would have been billed for that, so no." Hee.

Is Tracy really going to yell at children who just lost their mother over paint on the floor? They just love painting Tracy as this ogre, which really sucks.

It's so tiresome.

At least when he inevitably goes off to help Carly again, Danny will barely notice he's gone.

Of course Sasha has a pregnancy test in her purse. GAAAHHHH.

If she did hear, she likely assumes Cyrus is lying to the doctors to keep her trapped. Laura hasn't seen her since GH, has she? You would think she might want to see Lulu settled in. (It's a sad fact of life that visitors can make a difference in the level of care in many LTC facilities.)

I'm pretty sure we saw both Laura and Lucky at Turning Woods after the surgery and when Lulu was taken there. I think. We still couldn't see her face.

Forgot about Martin, he comes back and even has a scene with Mob Boss and then he disappears again. Wasn’t he even supposed to defend someone or do something for Sonny? I remember the scene but not the words. 😂

Yeah, Mooby brought him back to defend Alexis when she was charged with Jagger's murder. His hootin' and hollerin' about finding Mooby's gun stopped Mooby from confessing to the cops that he, in fact, had murdered Jagger.

Haven't seen Martin since.

So Jason is going back home after 30-something years. That should be entertaining. The Dante/Jason scenes were pretty good.

Yes, my first thought was "I really want to see Tracy's reaction!!!" 🤣

I'm sad there won't be any Monica-Jason scenes, given how much history SB and LC have working together.

My goodness! Is everyone in Port Charles moving into the Quartermaine place? It's kind of rude of them to just decide they'll move in without even asking anyone. I'd love it if Monica told them all that she wasn't running a hotel or apartment house.

I thought Danny was going to study in Spain. Did I get that wrong? What happened to that plan? 

Sasha had to have the biggest box for a pregnancy test that I've ever seen! Aren't these things smaller? When do we hear that Willow is testing for pregnancy?

I enjoyed the scenes between Jason and Dante today.  Glad they decided to keep the kids together, though I laughed at the "teamwork" scene among them.  Anyone else would have had the mess cleaned up in the time they all spent staring at the floor.  Jason has been slowly humanizing over the past two days.  Wonder if he'll be able to keep it up.

It will be interesting if Ava is convicted for the one crime she didn't commit.

I realize the scenes with Sasha, Felicia and Mac were there to establish with them that she and Cody have not been intimate, so when the positive pregnancy test comes there will be more people who have to wonder which part of the story isn't true.  But the letter from Robert just irked me all over again that they dumped a new daughter into his lap and then banished him. 

To my eye, Gio has much more chemistry with Trina than Kai, possibly because he has a personality.  Maybe Kai is just too new, so I'll give him time.  But I can already foresee Gio having deeper feelings for Trina, Trina feeling friendship for Gio, having a romance with Kai only to be disappointed, and then coming back to Gio.  It might actually be sweet, and the show could use a little sweetness right now.  

But I can't forgive the show for presenting one of those scenes where the actors have to dance to music that you can tell they can't hear.

Happy for the kids but was hoping for a bigger story about them, since I am more interested in them than in the adults lately. Hope they don't just fade into the background again.

With his incessant and occasionally inappropriate grinning, touch of social awkwardness, and, um, let's say, not overly complex personality, Gio is reminding me of this guy....

I'm not. In the past Jason has given Monica crumbs that she's pathetically slobbered up. I have no doubt that if there were scenes with the two of them, it would be Monica in tears that Jason has deigned to put his kid first (at least for now) and move in to the Q mansion. No, thank you.

Nice Jason/Dante scenes today. Having them all in the same house should make for an interesting dynamic.

so I legit forgot that Sasha fucked Michael and couldn’t figure out why she had a pregnancy test when she and Cody never had sex lol! speaking of Michael, what a pathetic little weasel he is. ‘Drew is going to throw your sorry ass out of the ceo job if you don’t ally yourself with me. I want revenge and I’m not above using you to get it.’ I mean, he’s right about Drew, but he seems to forget he’s not some innocent victim in all of this. Then again, he is his father’s son so of course everyone else is wrong except him. 

so Molly and Kristina are both going to lie through their teeth on the witness stand, and both be eviscerated by Ric? I feel bad for Molly, but I must be a terrible person since I’m rooting for Ric 🤣

I also liked the mature scenes between Jason and Dante. It keeps the kids together but they have their fathers with them. 
Drew can suck rocks in DC. 
Sasha had better not be pregnant. She’s had enough thrown at her. 
Gio and Trina are cute together. That’s enough for me right now. 
Ava’s court case is a mess.

Jason should not have custody of an adopted community tree let alone his kids, but finally moving into the Q mansion is wild. Edward is going to rise from the grave as an undead revenant to claim victory.

Here I was thinking Sasha’s morning sickness was going to be the main event of the Thanksgiving episode, but now we’ll also get to watch Jason quietly suffering through a Q family dinner.

That thing was hilariously huge (that's what she said!!)  Also, do people walk around with pregnancy tests in their purse?  The times I bought them, I took them straight home to use immediately.  I didn't head over to the local diner to have breakfast with my new aunt and uncle first.
