Diane, why are you there?

Diane didn't think it was appropriate for her to be there, but according to Kyle, Summer wanted her and Jack there.

Bitchy Summer is back! 
 

Chance is turning into the worst TV detective since that guy who took a header off the bridge in Season 1 of The Sopranos. Did I miss the scene where he commented about the coincidence of finding poison just lying around on the floor in the room Jeremy Stark was in?

The Dumpster Humper not being recognized in the worst disguise in television history might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen on a soap opera. And I once watched a lady with a talking doll. Unlike this show, that was actually entertaining.

It's right up there with the Ryan's Hope storyline where Delia was kidnapped by an escaped ape from the zoo.  

Made me stop watching till the last year when I heard Show was cancelled.  Thankfully, Ape was gone by then.

I didn’t know that Banana Breath was also on Ryan’s Hope. Ryan’s Hope’s lost ape reappeared in GC.

Snaporaz, you gotta move over and let me squeeze in a bit. I like Cricket too.  She's been the only person in GC who's kept a clear-eyed view of who Phyllis really is and always has been.  I remember very well when she was in the thankless role of being Daniel's stepmother while Phyllis slathered and slobbered and slandered her with every breath.  I only wish that Show wouldn't make Christine  the the lawyer who always loses, especially when dealing with Phyllis.

Summer could have come up with some venues that meant more to her mother, and with the weather being so nice right now, she could of held it outdoors.  I'm sure the city would have roped off the roadway in front of Rexx Rugs for a service, and if not there, then the alley where her favorite dumpster is.  Those locations have meaning to the essence of who Phyllis was.  It's also a shame that Show has already ruined Neil's Jazz Club room.  They'll never get the deep stink of mendacity out of it now, after all those weepy memorials to the Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese version of Cruella de Ville.

Why can't somebody throw a pie in Nikki's face?  Every time she opens her big mouth to spout off like she's the lady of the manor all I want to see is a Boston Cream Pie heading her way at lightning speed.  

I hope those scenes between Sally and Adam are the beginning of working those two back to each other.  They're both so GOOD together.  

Okay, Chance, here's your chance to show us you're not just a verrrrry purty face.  You were able to deduct from an errant cigarette butt that Ashland's death was different than the way it was laid out, so this shitstorm should be a piece of cake to unravel.  Also, Show has practically slapped a sign on Stark's back that says "Liar, liar, pants on fire", and now Show has Phyllis standing in the shadows looking like Daisy Duck subbing for the Angel of Death and nobody noticed??

Since Josh Griffith fired a lot of the writing staff, do you think a lot of the script is now being written by one of the AI writing programs?   If so, he should return the progam to Target before the warranty expires.

I also have no problem with Christine.  Christine should realize that Crispy’s vengeance towards her is not really any different from Crispy’s vengeance towards Diane. 
 

Does Chance have the hots for Summer ❄️. Why then is Chance filling Summer ❄️ in on an ongoing investigation?  Seems very odd.  Chance is putting more stock in Summer’s ❄️theory of Diane “killing” Crispy than Stark even after he found poison in Crispy’s room. 
 

Chance spent a lot more time and energy investigating what happened to Locke than Crispy. As I said before, he has Kevin Fisher look for video evidence of what happened to Locke so why didn’t he have Kevin Fisher track down video of the ambulance crash?  Chance. 

Sally and Adam singing:  

Reunited, and it feels so good
Reunited ‘cause we understood     
There’s one perfect fit           
And this one is it    

Come on monkeys with a keyboard give up something good.  Make up for that 🐂💩 and Swiss cheese that is Crispy’s “murder”

Such a smooth voice. Stilled too soon. 

[Chatty Cake]

Sally needs to dump Nick immediately. He had no business attending that memorial after the way Scumbag spoke to Sally. Plus all Phyllis was to Nick was an easy lay that he banged on and off and cheated on Sharon with. And what a bunch of idiots, they don’t notice Phyllis in disguise?

Why isn't Billy there, bringing his undertaker vibe?  And why are the wait staff wearing yarmulkes?  In the real world, those three servers would be asking Phyllis, "Who the fuck are you?  We're only supposed to split this tip three ways."   A strand of Phyllis' real hair was escaping from under the wig.  Will anybody notice?

Lauren's second husband Scott was Cricket's half-brother (and almost husband), and Lauren's first husband is Cricket's current husband.  And Cricket put aside her grievances against Michael when he donated his kidney to Danny.  I know 100% that I'm a club of one over here, but I have a soft spot for Cricket.  We're the same age, so we grew up together, and Cricket has always had a capacity for forgiveness.  Except for Phyllis...that grudge never died.  Hmmm, I wonder why?

I didn't like Cricket when I first started watching because she seemed like such a goody goody but I've grown and matured...okay, I've grown. She is fine to me now. She has always been level headed and that is saying something in this town. I was just mad that when Lauren was waxing poetically at Society about Chrispy, that she didn't remind Lauren about the two times she tried to run her down so no love lost there. Cricket kept making faces like she was trying to hold her rage in but it was actually so she could cry about Tightpants. Just get back with Danny already!

 

I still rarely call her Christine though...she'll always be Cricket or The Bug to me. Old habits die hard. 

[Waldo13]

I know I’m beating a dead horse when it comes to Chance shit ass detective skills but why didn’t he seal off Crispy’s room as a possible crime scene as soon as the tox screen was positive for poison. Also, he hardly questioned the EMT about if it was normal procedure for him to draw blood, the route the driver took, and how was he thrown out the back door?  A good detective would have known that in was highly improbable that the EMT couldn’t be thrown out of the back door when the ambulance was moving forward. Even a 10 year old knows about the law of inertia that the EMT would have been thrown forward and not backward. Even whiplash would be that forceful for the EMT to be thrown 10 feet through hinged doors at the back of the ambulance. Even if that was remotely possible, he would have a lot more than a limp and a bruised head. He would be in the hospital himself with a concussion and broken bones. 
 

Chance check with the hall of records to make sure that Stark and Crispy were married but did he check with the hospital that it was their procedure for the EMT to draw blood?

Why are they having a memorial service in a jazz lounge? I

Near as I can tell from Summer's convoluted thought processes, she thinks staging it at the "scene of the crime" will out the real killer (Diane).  That's why she invited Chance-so he could watch the attendees for tells.  Too bad he was looking at his phone or the floor the whole time.  Why wasn't he standing with the flight attendants* so he could observe everyone in the room?

And yes, that loud "aaarrrgghhhh!" when Chance threatened Jeremy saying if Jeremy didn't behave he'd find a way to violate his parole, was me. =!!!= Have you not been paying attention, Chance?  He's not in CA, he has no job, he was arrested for a theft (which should have pulled the plug on his parole right then) and now he may be a person of interest in a murder (it's always the husband when money is involved), so VIOLATE him already!

* how did Phylth know what the girls would be wearing?  Does the GCAC have uniforms for memorials?  And really, if I was listening to my kids say those nice things and being so upset, I would be crying a river.  Now I know Phylth is a sociopath.

Okay, I'm as willing as anyone else when it comes to suspending disbelief but this is an insult to the viewers. Not one " mourner" in that room could recognize Ginger Crisp? Come on! Yeah, Lily must be starving! She only loaded up her plate once before the memorial started. And Audra-that dress is beyond hideous. Lose it. Sorry. I'm in a mood today.

[KLovestoShop]

Has anyone noticed that before the funeral, and on those who aren’t at the funeral, everyone is wearing some shade of purple?  Guys in purple ties and shirts and the women wearing all kinds of purple

[boes]

My favorite nonsensical remark from the testimonals yesterday came from the person playing Daniel's daughter Lucy, when she said Granny Panties told her it was important to always remember to say "I'm sorry".  

Uh huh.  Sure, Phyllis said that.  In what alternate universe?  

Daniel, I'm sorry to tell you this, but your dotter must be on drugs because Phyllis saying I'm sorry only happens when you see the White Rabbit.

Her testimonial must have been a cry for help.

[nasir jones]

Let me get this straight… Diane, a woman who once successfully orchestrated her own fake death, has now committed a murder and is leaving evidence everywhere out in the open? And the lead detective doesn’t find this peculiar? The GCPD needs to be defunded.

I noticed that too. The Dummer-Bouffant marriage is bound to disintegrate after Diane’s arrest. If Chance is dumb enough to get involved with that spoiled brat, that’s on him. Apparently, he’s dumb enough for a lot of things.

Literally no one saw the Dumpster Humper in that room?!?!?!?!!!! I’m sorry folks. I just can’t with this nonsense.

[lightninggirl]

Thank you, Danny, for not revisiting the guyliner for your little piano recital.

Crispy's 'disguise' was absolutely ridiculous. Those speeches were hardly compelling enough to keep all attention solely focused on them.

Somehow these idiot charges against Diane will unfortunately not stick but I was here for Lauren's side-eye at Michael when Diane begged him to help her. 😂

[Js Nana]

Note to Phyllis: In the future, when you're trying to blend into the background so no one will know it's you, don't where glossy red lipstick - it makes you stand out like a sore thumb, which makes everyone who should be able to recognize you look stupid when they don't.

I actually watched yesterday so I to noticed his body language and behavior towards Summer. I think her forceful begging of him to "investigate" further turned him on since his ex Abby wanted him to do anything but that. I'm kind of joking with that assumption at the same time I'm a bit serious in regards to thinking it too.

I think it's totally possible that Chance could have lost his mind so completely that even a baby dumpster fire like Summer feels all warm and cuddly.  

Look at the men who saw Phyllis and also felt a mental meltdown coming on.  Danny, Dr. Tim, Jack, Nick, most of the garbage collectors in Wisconsin's fine city of Genoa, etc.  And she came with a pre-signed 5150 72 hour commitment approval.  

Love moves in mysterious ways, especially in the sewer lines of Genoa City......

Abby: I packed all my stuff to move from one home to another. I’m craaaazy!

Devon: Chill. I got flowers and champagne. Let’s christen our home with the sexay times.

@@@@@@@

Victoria: I love thinking about my employee tickling my tonsils. And that side part… meow.

Audra: You’re a million miles away, Victoria. I’ll pretend I don’t know you’re fantasizing about Nate.

Victoria: Holy shit those sleeves.

@@@@@@@

Summer: I can honor my mother best by being a completely inappropriate asshole at her memorial service. Diane, would you like to be an asshole as well?

Diane: No?

Jack: If you needed another asshole to speak, why didn’t you invite Billy?

Diane: Victor hasn’t mumbled at us yet. Call on him.

Victor: I will share my thoughts with my granddaughter privately, k? Did that sound creepy to anyone else?

Nick: The turtle might be out of the shell. No one seems to smell anything. Wheee.

Michael: Did you crack a rat, Lauren?

Lauren: You want to sleep on the couch?

Summer: Are you chicken, Diane? Bwak bwak bwak!

@@@@@@

Abby: I needed this. The champagne is amazing, the flowers are just heavenly. I bet Phyllis won’t be seeing any of these where she’s going. Ha ha.

Devon: Get used to it. Oh, and one more surprise. Here.

Abby: Thank god it’s not an engagement ring! My own set of keys. A very timely reminder to lock the door before you do the nasty with someone not your partner. You really do spoil me.

@@@@@@

Diane: Fine. Uh, When you can’t think of a single redeeming quality to highlight in a person, it’s pretty safe to say they love their kids.

Daniel: That’s my cue to blither blather. If everyone will just put on the complimentary hip waders placed under your seats, I’ll begin. One of my friends described my mother as fierce. She was all that and more. She was electric. She crackled. She was a hybrid Rice Crispy square and cattle prod.

Danny: Should I be proud? Should I sing a song cheesy enough to be a Velveeta jingle?

Daniel: I didn’t realize this when she was alive, but my mother was teaching me how to love. Holy fish balls! Did a giant lightbulb just appear above my head? I - I think I know where I went wrong with Heather and Lucy! What an epiphany!

Nick: Big words make me poop.

Danny: That’s my cue to cheese it up. When I look at Daniel, I see Phyllis’ heart. I sure as hell don’t see myself, since she lied about that. My mother always said if you didn’t have something nice to say, sing. This was inspired by Phyllis, so if it sucks, well, there you go.

Summer: What smells so bad? I hate my Resting Smell the Fart face. Did Kyle poop in a shoe again?

@@@@@@@

Audra: Blah blah business blah.

Victoria: Impressive. Few can bullshit with business jargon like a Newman.

Audra: I still have a lot to learn. Look at how high and deep Nate can pile it. He could earn a promotion very soon.

Victoria: He does continue to dazzle.

Audra: Of course, when he, uh, gets on top, you’ll need a new CEO for Newman Media. Until then, I’ll give Nate everything he needs… to succeed.

Victoria: I’d hate to mess up this Charlie’s Angels hair by tangling with those puff pastry sleeves, so I’ll let that pass.

@@@@@@@

Phyllis: Mwah ha ha. An incriminating letter so obvious Nick might get suspicious will surely seal Diane’s fate. Part of the thrill is risking exposure by standing here like a dumbfuck in glasses and a ratchet wig.

Danny: Son, why don’t we get out of here with Lucy and grab a bite to eat? The Newmans kind of skeeve me out. Lily, it would be wonderful if you could join us.

Lily: Oh thank god. There’s this creeper with glasses lurking over by that curtain. I feel the need to disinfect my dad’s picture.

Daniel: I’ll just tell Summer goodbye.

Diane: Why did Summer single me out like that? It was awkward.

Jack: Grief can turn an asshole into an obnoxious asshole.

Diane: And why are the cops here? Why is Chance here, looking like his thong got caught on a hemorrhoid? Were he and Phyllis friends?

Jack: I don’t think he ever got a trash tattoo from Phyllis out at her memorial dumpster. I think he’s just here to keep Stark out. Velour is not an appropriate grieving fabric.

Diane: Did you see the look Nikki just gave me? Her shit may not stink, but her son’s sure as hell does. I said what I said.

@@@@@@

Danny: Did you know, Lucy, that your father was once a banana?

Lucy: What.

Daniel: It wasn’t the best memory. Nick chased me all the way to California.

Lily: I was a strawberry. 

Danny: These two crazy kids ran off to the west coast.

Lily: We needed money. Daniel wasn’t medically able to donate any more plasma and I just felt porn was beneath me.

Lucy: So you became fruit?

Daniel: I never told you this, Lily, but the costumes were for a bit of nutritional erotica. Sorry.

Lily: I always knew. That’s why I burnt the ever loving shit out of your grilled cheese.

Lucy: YAWN.

Danny: Someone’s tired.

Daniel: I’ll take you back to the hotel, Lucy. I forgot all about the jet lag thing.

Lucy: I’m fine. And dessert is your favorite. Try the strawberry shortcake. Tee hee.

Danny: I’ll take my granddaughter back to the hotel. We clearly need to have a talk.

They leave.

Daniel: Those sons of bitches are trying to set us up.

Lily: I didn’t notice anything.

Daniel: Sometimes I think my mother could be standing right in front of you and you wouldn’t notice.

Lily: You’re going to eat those words one day.

@@@@@@

Nate: It’s Bring Your Bad Decisions to Work Day.

Victoria: Audra just used nine buzzwords in a five word sentence.

Nate: My associate never fails to impress.

Victoria: I think she’s after your job.

Nate: You gotta love her.

Victoria: Those sleeves, tho.

Nate: I have a foolproof plan to ensure my own job security.

Victoria: Let’s go over these beautifully crunched numbers while practically in each other’s laps.

Nate: Your instinct to jettison McCall is even more brilliant than I ever imagined. Market share. Power moves. Blah blah.

Victoria: I’ve got bourbon. Let’s have a completely appropriate celebration of nothing in particular while engaging in deliciously bawdy talk that could also be perfectly innocent.

Nate: This bourbon is top shelf. I don’t always get plied with liquor by my boss, but when I do, it’s Crotch County Kentucky Reserve Bourbon.

Victoria: You are the most interesting man in the world. I’m so glad you didn’t return to medicine after that whole dumb Phyllis thing.

Nate: You don’t get bourbon like this in the operating room. There’s nothing like letting the heat play across your tongue, tasting every nuance…

Victoria: Would you resist a refill?

Nate: I’m done resisting. Assimilate my ass.

Audra: Hark! Do I hear pens clattering to the floor and furniture creaking? I love it when opportunity knocks boots.

@@@@@@

Abby: I’m nervous. In a good way.

Devon: Relax, pretty lady. We’re just nice, comforting filler on today’s episode. There’s no pressure.

Abby: You’re so right. Imagine putting on big, floppy clown shoes, wearing your underwear on your head and playing the slide whistle with your ass while marching through a jazz lounge.

Devon: It sucks to be Chance.

@@@@@@

Chance: Can we talk alone, Diane?

Diane: A tempting request, but I must decline.

Jack: She’s not going anywhere with you. You do not want any of this Captain Save a Chick energy. You just don’t.

Chance: Jack, I’m trying to be discreet. That’s why I’m flanked by cops and doing this in front of everyone.

Jack: This is a memorial service, copper. You can meet us at the house.

Chance: You have forced my hand, which recently held some very telling, very convenient new evidence. I must act now, before any rational thought processes kick in. You’re under arrest, Diane Jenkins!

Diane: For an ambulance accident? I was here the whole time.

Chance: Phyllis’ blood was loaded with so much strychnine that a lab tech died handling it. You just got served.

Lauren: That explains why Phyllis stumbled a bit and slurred mildly while giving a surprisingly aware speech ragging on Diane and Jack! Masterful work, Detective.

Jack: Why aren’t you hassling Jeremy Stark, the convicted felon? No one believes he’s married to Phyllis, because if I believe it, I’ll fall head over heels back in love with her.

Chance: I don’t have to explain myself to you. Internal affairs might be another story, but I’ve blundered ahead too far to stop now.

Diane: I’m being framed! For fucks sake, can’t you morons see Phyllis over there wearing Joker lipstick and a shit wig?

Chance: Phyllis has red hair. Nice try.

Diane: Michael! Michael, you’ll be my lawyer, right?

Michael: I really should, but I’ve already forgotten the gala food and accused Lauren of malodorous flatulence. I can’t afford a third strike. Chance’s case is made of cotton candy and glue dots and would be a chance to legally teabag the GCPD. Damn it.

Lauren: You’re not thinking of representing that vicious killer, are you? Chance’s case is more airtight than Tupperware!

Michael: Sorry, Diane. Jack, call an attorney. Don’t say a god damn word until that lawyer shows up.

Jack: I’ll find a lawyer who will get this so-called evidence laughed out of court! Anyone know any hand puppets that have passed the Wisconsin bar?

Summer: Go on, Kyle. I can’t gloat while you’re here.

Kyle: Some policeman’s cap is getting lucky tonight.

Diane is hauled off in handcuffs.

Nick: I changed my tighty whities. Well, admittedly I’m freeballing it now. Are you okay?

Summer: Is this how you make your constipated face? It is? I’m good then. I have what I want. The truth. Diane murdered my mother. Mom tried to tell me what a psychopath Diane was, but I refused to recognize her expertise In cold blooded insanity.

@@@@@@

Phyllis: Not quite the narcissistic supply I was hoping for, but at least Diane is headed to prison. Ha ha. She’ll never have Jack. Caw caw! I have succeeded in getting my vengeance beyond my wildest dreams. Wandering into the room where my memorial service was held is a boss move. Jeremy was wrong about my poor risk assessment skills.

I've said here before I had a soft spot for Cricket. We're close in age and I remember her modeling at Jabot for her uncle. 

Comments upthread made me think of a Cricket/Traci/Danny triangle. Everybody is nice so it would be boring. He could always use it to write a song.

Was Hate supposed to be so drunk that he took Victoria on the desk? I've never done it on an office desk before. Is that uncomfortable uncomfortable?  When I think hard about the logistics of the whole thing it just doesn't seem to be my cup of tea.

And Audra!!!! Her dress stopped just short of her cootch. I thought she was going to suggest a threesome.

Not a Cricket fan. I started watching when she had that shitty office with the flags of all nations on display. Always thought she was an ice princess totally devoid of humor

Lol, apparently Audra and Lily shop at the same store: Inappropriate Dress for Less. Audra has a bangin' body but maybe that wasn't the time or place to show it off. 🙀

Abby has been seen letting herself into the penthouse plenty of times. It seemed like she already had her own keys. Was Devon just leaving the door unlocked?

I thought Daniel made the best memorial speech. Bravo. Too bad it was for a solid POS who's more concerned about vengeance than his grief.

Why is Crystal, the manager of the Ganglion Pansy, working as a waitress at the GCAC? That's a huge step-down, no?

Phew, I was scared Danny was going to bust out with 🎶Rock On🎶 again. 🙄 He's not very good at lip syncing though.

Was that Harrison's nanny who answered the door at the Abbott manse? She was too young to be Mrs. Martinez.

Sure, Grandpa Victor. Summer may have her mommy's heart, strength, and courage but she's also a straight up lunatic. Like mommy, like dotter.

People kept saying Phyllis would've been so proud or so moved or she really would've loved the memorial. Why? If they knew she was still alive to see it none of it would be happening.

You'd think Nanny would've immediately contacted Jack when the search warrant was served.

Lol, Lauren eyeballing Michael hard like "Don't even think about it." But I would expect Jack to have a lawyer on retainer who could step in for Diane until they could hire a defense attorney.

Victoria  getting Nate drunk in the office so she could seduce him. Yikes. And he all but hooked up an IV to mainline the bourbon right into his body. Ugh.

Either the CEO office door is rather thin and hollow or Nate and Vikki were making a ridiculous amount of noise on top of her desk. Audra standing outside listening was too funny. I'm thinking she should've just walked in and acted shocked.

[gingerella]

Is it just me, or does Danny remind anyone else of a Crypt Keeper? And that grimace that seems to be his only solution to every emotion the script is asking of him? Did he over do the botox to reprise his glory role of a lifetime as Danny Romalotti? Or is rigor mortice setting in?  And my GOD, the serenade...And now, I shall regale you all with my mediocre musical rendition of an original caterwaul dedicated to the dead dumpster humper that was SyPhyllis...

[Tippi]

Sigh.  Another opportunity missed to do something original.  It would have been awesome if some of the characters--Christine, Sharon, Danny, Jack--got up there and really ripped Phyllis to shreds with the truth of the hateful things she has done over the years.  And culminating in exposing her in front of everybody in her disguise!  Bonus points if someone pointed out how Summer really is her mother's daughter in every way.

[Julyolo]

Not alot to say about show today, except maybe Abby was right when she was opposed to Chance's desire to continue his career in law enforcement. Did he bother to fingerprint the strychnine bottle? Did he think to scan the memorial service crowd for any people who might have seemed "off?" Did he search the Abbott manse for any corroborating evidence? Did he do any drops on Diane's work or home computers, or cell phone? Or check her phone's location data to confirm she drove to the store to make that purchase?  Fastest arrest I've ever seen, within minutes of him getting a text about the only suspect he ever considered, at the inappropriate insistence of the deranged alleged victim's unhinged "dottir." Where I live, it takes a little longer for an arrest warrant to be written, and a judge to sign off on it. BTW, Diane even lacked a motive, she had clearly achieved her goals, despite the coven and Phyliss' best efforts. I'm no detective, but I suspect there is more than laziness, hack writing, and a lack of plot development afoot here. IMO, this would be a full out assault on the audience's intelligence.

Sigh.  Another opportunity missed to do something original.  It would have been awesome if some of the characters--Christine, Sharon, Danny, Jack--got up there and really ripped Phyllis to shreds with the truth of the hateful things she has done over the years.  And culminating in exposing her in front of everybody in her disguise!  Bonus points if someone pointed out how Summer really is her mother's daughter in every way.

 Brilliant. I would have paid to see this. And paid for others to see it; put it on tvs around Times Square; put it up on the big screen at the NBA and NHL playoffs. C-Span, too. Make it into a Domino’s commercial…sadly, it is too late for a Super Bowl ad. Have SNL parody it.

Ok. For all of you lovers going off on pyl’s disguise. I want you to know. I stood in the set for an hour and my co workers didn’t even recognize me. Hahah. #YR

I suspect they were pretending. And relieved not to have to acknowledge her in any way.

And then blackmail them!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Danny's jazzy mediocre song about nothing was the highlight of the memorial and the episode. And while we're mentioning the rock star, Danny sure was eyeing Michael like he was a tasty snack.

All Audra needs is that dress and a stick of butter. She'll have her perfect Halloween costume.

Did my eyes deceive me? Was Nate Natey Nate Nate extending his little pinky when he was drinking bourbon? Who the hell drinks Bourbon like that? He must have been very disappointed that Mop didn't throw some fruit and a paper umbrella in it.

She is as delusional and idiotic as her character. Why couldn't Phyllis really have DIAF?

Just wanted to say thank you again to those of you who are still watching and for your hilarious, brilliant and insightful posts! I can't bring myself to tune in until this stupid story is over.

That desk looked like it gets really smeary...

You, Diane Jenkins, are guilty of MURDER in the first degree!  I asked my magic 8-ball and it said YES!  We also think you shot the sheriff, but you did not shoot the deputy".

Meanwhile, over at the staircase, the one EVERYONE WALKED DOWN, stood Phyllis in her "Madge, you're soaking in it" disguise and nobody recognized her.  People had to walk right by her, tight quarters and not one person even gave her a second glance.  Maybe they don't miss you as much as they all say they do, Phyllis.

If Danny had to sing, then why did he sing that song instead of

this one?  Much more appropriate, and it makes me think immediately of Phyllis. Sniff......

Abby and Devon should be on their hands and knees thanking the Soap Gods that Nate and Victoria exist, because otherwise, their lack of heat would be even more apparent.  Luckily, Vic and Nate put the ice in iceberg.

Would it even be possible for Nate Natey Nate Nate Nate to be any more of a stuffed shirt?  

I assume he poops in the shape of a Windsor knot and says "tut tut" after sex.  Vic has finally met her perfect man - the lovechild of Victor Newman and a rabid Miss Manners.  "Prithee, Lord Dunderhead, are you going to defile fair(ish) maiden upon said desk whilst she is perched on yon fair stapler"?

Yep, Y&R still knows how to write rumanche storylines.

I hope the cops searching Jack's house and bagging evidence don't accidentally bag Lil' Hausenpheffer.  Or Mrs. Martinez.  I hope they realize that any whips or chains or handcuffs they might run across belong to Ashley and Ashley alone.

It was so sweet the way Victor comforted Summer, wasn't it?  Not even a mention of him being responsible for Phyllis being continually raped by the doppleganger he put in Jack's place for all those months.  But Diane is the monster who hurt Mommy.  It's a toss up who Summer inherited her brains from, since neither Phyllis or Nick are known for actually having any.  Hmm, seems I just answered my own question.

Yes, desks aren't the best. Given that Mop and Nate both suffer from chronic ambition, one would think they would have at least sought out one of NE's conference rooms' tables to rut on.

Devon presenting Abby with beautifully wrapped set of keys: as disappointing as Billy presenting Lily with beautifully wrapped ear buds.

Both women were seething inside hoping for a beautiful piece of jewelry. 😡

********

And now we know that chewing bourbon is sexy.

I won’t be catching up on episodes until the weekend but it seems like there were quite a few FF moments.  
 

It looks like Summer ❄️ was made chief of police since Paul retired.

 

Nate made Cruella a Fixed Asset by screwing to the desk. (It’s an old accounting joke). 

[Chatty Cake]

Eww. I can’t take much more of this Saint Phyllis bullshit. Why can’t she die for real? 
Can’t one moron on the GCPD figure out that perhaps this is a setup? 
Victoria and Nate getting drunk and getting their sex on at work is the least sexy thing I’ve seen.

[Skarzero]

I couldn't suffer through Crispy's whitewashing memorial, so I suffered through Audra’s & Victoria's boring business talk, and later Nate & Victoria's even more boring business talk & stale ass sexy times instead...not sure I made the right choice.

Looks like Josh Griffith's sole writing is really starting to show. 

[Chatty Cake]

I only watched the memorial so I could see Mr Danny Romalotti. Phyllis was horrible to him though so I don’t get why he didn’t just drop Daniel off and go have a drink with Christine!

[jqdeco]

I wasn’t watching the show when Diane was on before so I don’t know the history. Aside from faking her death, what did she do? You would think someone would have recapped it by now. Or maybe I zoned out when that happened. I’m still trying to understand what Phyllis gets out of faking her own death, other than setting up Diane and abandoning her kids, which seems to be her biggest complaint against Diane. If she was truly worried about Diane taking over her life, then stay and fight. I just don’t understand this storyline.

I think she with living with Victor and sleeping with Nick. So that’s why Nikki and Phyllis hate her. She was played by Maura West at the time. I remember her being obnoxious but not that horrible. Feel free to correct me, I don’t remember it all that well.

I feel sorry for the desk.
