The GCEh?C: Canadian Episodes (Spoilers for Non-Canadians)

[peacheslatour]

 

WHICH MAKES ME THINK AGAIN THAT HE IS A DOPPELGANGER! 

So wait... we have TWO doppelgangers?  So where is the real Prick?  I know TPTB hate us, but do they hate us that much?

[NinjaPenguins]

 

Prick says as far as the police are concerned she has been dead for months, but she deserves a proper burial.

Truly a prince among men.

 

 

He tells Cassie he has successfully impregnated another woman.

 

Why can't skeletal hands emerge from the ground and drag Nick's ass to hell? Or at least give him a titty twister.

 

 

Ash has it out with Ben and tells him she has feelings for him.

Just attach a dildo to a Cabbage Patch doll and call it a day, girlfriend. Same thing.

 

 

Drinki wonders why Phyll is okay with this, and she says she is not the one who changed the paternity test.

 

No, you just lied about Daniel's paternity. Shut up, hypocrite.

 

 

Jack makes a toast.  He says he looks at NA as the merger of two great families blah blah.  And that today is the anniversary of Cassie’s death, and he breaks up a bit, and announces that he is funding a new pediatric wing at the hospital in Cassie’s name.  That is why he invited Sharon.

This is seriously sad. The only people who are nice to Sharon are a block of wood and a drug lord. A room packed with frauds, cheaters, and a handful of killers, and it's Sharon who is the pariah. Whatever, show.

[Slowpokey]

Awesome Bannana! Thank you so much!!!!

[C76]

Absolutely not. If Victor is a fake, I'll eat my socks.

Great recap Bannana! I'll definitely be watching tomorrow.

Funniest. Line. Ever. I'm still laughing as I type this. If it wasn't so inappropriate, I would have had some fun with Photoshopping and posting the results. (Don't worry mods, I'm not going to do it. LOL)

Yep, this is the kind of thing that pisses me off. My fantasy episode would be for Sharon to get up at a gathering in front of all of GC and just go off and seriously call out all these assholes on their hypocritical shit. All the crimes they have committed and horrible things that they have done. Just lay it out for everyone to hear and spare no details. It would take a couple of episodes to get through it all but it would be awesome.

[LeftPhalange]

Vic separately talks to him about how Farko overrode her decision and wants him to reverse it.  Farko says he did it as a biz decision, not because he was letting his personal feelings affect him, as Vic did.  He blows her off.

 

Lily has heard about Hevon, because she sees them at the GCAC and confronts them.   She is dressed in a sparkly mini-dress.  She calls Hilary a lying piece of trash.  Hilary calls Lily a sanctimonious bitch.  Phyllis shows up and reminds them there is an important PARTY happening.  Hah!  Lily says Hilary wanted to avenge her mother’s death and asks her if Rose would be proud of her for all the lives she’s ruined, and Hilary takes offense, and lunges at her.  Devon and Phyllis stop them.  Lily cannot believe Devon, but he says this time he is being open and honest, and she calls him delusional and stomps off to her PARTY.

 

Ash has it out with Ben and tells him she has feelings for him.  She was okay with him going back to Vic, but when he broke up with Vic and then bypased Ash and went to Abby, she was hurt.  Ben is stupefied.  Ash doesn’t want Abby to know.  Later Abby wants to know what's up.  Ben is shaken and he leaves and says he is going back to work.

 

Even Fack knows Bohemian is incompetent.

 

What lives were ruined by Devon and Hilary having sex?

 

Ashley is ew.

[PatsyandEddie]

Thanks Bannana! That looked like a tough one to recap with all the players.

 

Will this show never tire of trashing Sharon? Why the fuck would Phyllis care if Nick and his wandering dick impregnated someone? He was most recently engaged to her sister for god's sake. I'd say she's moved on. But we had to have this line so the Sharon bashing could begin.

 

I wonder why Farko did this Cassie wing thing? What's up with that?

 

Who would Victor say that to? He wouldn't feel so strongly about Sage would he? Or Mariah? It can't be Jack can it? He's become a moron apparently so he couldn't make it home that fast.

 

Another car crash? sigh.

I think Farko is trying to act more like Jack and get under VicTURD's skin at the same time.

Fuck off Phyllis.

The crash could be Ben or even Gwen? Or maybe Nikki and that's how she ends up with the intervention?

[Desperately Random]

Lily to the guests, there has been a severe car accident and the valet says it was driven by someone from the PARTY.

Is there any chance that Sage was out in the parking lot? Could we be that lucky? It would provide all kinds of drama if Drinki is the one who causes the sprout to go TOCK. 

Edited May 22, 2015 by Desperately Random

[miamama]

Just watched and Nick said "Sage said she might come later." This gives me enormous hope that she and her pointless spawn are involved in that "severe car accident." Who says "severe" car accident? Did the script say "serious"?

 

Sharon looked marvellous. Oh my god. Her side parted hair and short dress. So so so lovely. And after Farko made his sweet Cassie speech, Sharon gave him a hug. He was Jack then and not Farko to me. :) Love those two. PB and SC can do those soft emotional scenes so powerfully. Nick and Dylan and their lame faces in reaction. Gah. They are lousy actors. 

 

I thought ED did a nice job in her lines to Stitch. They were wasted on him but she delivered nicely IMO. I felt sorry of her. Who could believe a woman who looks like Ashley Abbott would have trouble getting a man. Please.

 

So whoever was lurking was seen not only by Victor but also Abby and Ashley, who looked horrified. And he/she/it was also at the ranch earlier spying on Victor. I don't think Ash and Abby would be horrified to see Mariah or Sage. And there's no way they could see Jack. I am stumped.

 

It seems to be us, the audience, again. "You should not be here," Victor tells us. No. We should not. This is some piece of shit show. But still we keep coming back.

 

ETA: Watched the previews and Sage is perfectly fine. shoot. I'll bet it's drunk Nikki heading to rock bottom.

<><><>

THIS is why I always hoped that Nick lied about Faith and she's Jack's and he and Sharon raise her. That

would be great.

Per Victor being a dopple... Maybe that Congress man who Prick AND Jack screwed over will turn up (or Ian) as the mastermind. He replaced

Victor a year ago and Jack more recently. Found Fack in the PP and Fricktor in a compost heap. Two-two are better than one!

nah... that might be original and fun if Jack and Prick end up in a dungeon somewhere... "Jaggabbot... I never noticed how blueyoureyes are."

BTW - PP - That's Peruvian Prison... not a childish name for a Wee-wee/

"Harper Valley PTA " style! But it will never happen, this crew is too stupid to realize anything but "Sharon is EVIL" BS.

(As to the song, younguns, look it up on Google. Yes I'm a bit older.. It's from the '70s.) The idiots will take Sharon's list of their sins as her mental illness rather than looking in the mirror.

You guys. YOU GUYS. I actually had a dream about this goddamn show last night! I dreamt that there was more than one doppelganger, but I can't remember who the other one was :D

[Petunia13]

Victor which is how he'll skate on on all this shit?

I can't imagine who's crashing the party. A wee part of me wishes it was Jack, but he's only recently escaped Kelly's lair. He still has to get off the island. Plus, all the spoilers I've read about 

certain folks figuring out that Farco is a fake

would be null and void. And thus far, the hints I've picked up about other things have been accurate, so I'm not expecting any mishaps.

[valleycliffe]

THE party crasher is

TOBIAS

[bannana]

Absolutely not. If Victor is a fake, I'll eat my socks.

I have been musing he is a Doppelganger because of his complete disregard for human decency and compassion, which I know was lacking before but seems so much worse now.  Also, EB has changed his acting and it is subtle but different.  He makes these weird but highly entertaining expressions.  Then, the multiple images of his face in the door window.  However, when I look at that scene again, it appears that someone is looking through the door window.  So maybe that was the only point there.

 

THE party crasher is

TOBIAS

Okay, that explains why Ashley and Abby had that shocked look as well.  

 

As to the car accident, it could be Drinki crashes into Ben!

 

But why would she be driving when her room is upstairs?

[valleycliffe]

LOLOL  maybe drinkki had to clear her head after seeing the dreaded Sharon with Dylan and then finding out her son is procreating with a herb.

[Desperately Random]

But why would she be driving when her room is upstairs?

Well, she did smash all her liquor bottles (big and small) into the fireplace. So maybe she is heading to the local liquor store to stock up. After all, she did get some bad news at the party concerning both her son's current bedmates.

Yes, she received tragic news and it took her one second to chug that champagne!  I would hope that Drinki could just walk over to the bar and say: send me a jug of Vodka to my room, no glasses required, I don't have time to pour.

[Runningwild]

Seriously, Nikki. The tragic news isn't that Dylan is dating Sharon. The tragic news is your son is Nick.

I bet that party crater turns out to be related to Farco. Remember, the DNA was only a"partial match" so it could be a sibling or child of Farco. And Farco could be cleaning up after the crashes to protect his identity.

[miamama]

Does partial match indicate sibling? Do you think they'll make Jack and Farko twins separated at birth? It would be very easy to do (no ultrasounds, fathers in delivery rooms etc. in the days Jack was born). I'm wondering if Farko is setting it up so that Jack takes the fall for the cabin murders (in the event he makes his way back).

Dear Soap Gods, no!! LOL

 

Lately, the show's been proud of its cornball status, but IMO that would be too much. I realize that The Y & R is a soap, but I'd be ticked if it turned into Passions 2.0.

 

Also, today I had the impression that Farco was responsible for Tobias' accident. He sure looked smug as he walked up the hall in the hospital. I wonder how many more characters will die because of his dastardly deeds.

Edited May 22, 2015 by C76

[UsernameFatigue]

Not sure what is supposed to be going on with Neil attacking Tobias, then Billy, then Drinki's new friend? I do love Drinki though, and the look on Victoria's face when Drinki called they guy she just met "baby" was priceless. And a bonus of Dylan and Sharon getting together is Nikki's horror. I love how worried she is about her two sons and the women they have chosen. I would think had Victor had a mother to bring Nikki home to years ago she would have been none too pleased to meet Strippi.

 

I know Fack is not Jack, but can't for the life of me understand why he has pledged to build a pediatric wing in honour of Cassie who died as a result of a car accident when Jack's own niece died as a result of a car accident. I know Fack is pilling on the Newman love, but that is a bit much.

 

I snorted when Phyllis was worried about how Summer would take the news that Nick was to become a father again. Sheesh. She is a grown ass woman. But I guess once a special snowflake always a special snowflake. And speaking of Nick, WTH is up with the greasy hair? Even for Nick that was disgusting today.

[boes]

Seriously, Nikki. The tragic news isn't that Dylan is dating Sharon. The tragic news is your son is Nick.

BwaHAAHAAHAHHAAA!  Short, sweet, PERFECT and to the point post!

 

Soup for you!!

[bannana]

Goldfinger!  That’s what Ash reminds me of in her awesome dress.

So the interloper is Tobias, who frankly I forgot about   He is pissed at how he was used by Pricktor to spy on Jabot and Hex.  Rut roh , Farko doesn’t recognize Tobias.  Prick orders Tobias to leave, but he doesn’t.  Tobias hops up onto the bar, to tell everyone their dirty little secrets and highlight that they are all liars and complicit. Ash in her amazing dress confronts Tobias.  Things go awry, Billy steps in and then Neil is all, I want to pound every guy I see.  Neil is on a downward slope.  Billy escorts Tobias out, Drinki looks like she wants a drinky, and then she does, and Prick is sitting there with that cat/canary grin.   Farko thanks Billy, and Prick says his usual annoying ass thank you with contempt, and Billy points out that he is still freaked out by the Jack/Prick love affair, but will let it go. 

 

Let’s move to the boring now.  Dick goes to Sage’s room and she is dressed for the party.  He tries to discourage her from going but she says:  this is your family, and they are loaded.  My last con didn’t work, so I need to show up for this.  Noah is talking to Cassie’s grave and Mariah shows up.  They finally bond over the sister they share.  Mariah wonders what it would’ve been like to grow up with Cassie. It turns out that Courtney’s family won’t even let Noah know where Court is buried.  Ouch.  Billy and Vic flirt some more.

 

Sage arrives, and Vic goes to support Dick.  They are talking to Drinki and Prick.  Sage is super happy to be carrying the next Newman baby.  Vic offers her crackers.  Drinki cannot hide her contempt.  Prick suggests a toast, which Drinki refuses.  And idiot Sage says, hey, Drinki, you don’t have to support the prego woman, you can drink, and Drinki is livid, and Nick splains it all to Sage.  Drinki is not impressed.  She looks at Sage with contempt.  Prick has his, I am batshit crazy expression, or maybe, I have a nefarious plan.

 

Drinki leaves bumps into Dylan and maligns Sharon.  Really, Drinki, you don’t have more pressing issues to deal with?

Kevin gets caught on Chief Paul’s computer.  He finds something about Tobias on there. (Sorry, I lost interest.)

 

Lily tries to address the fact that Neil is BSC and wants to punch everyone.  Dummer and Gnome tell Farko and Phyllis that they are familiar with Tobias, and that he was spying on them. Phyll is worried, but Abby assures her that is not the case.  The Scoobies whisper about this, and Farko is listening.

 

Drinki gets into it with Sharon.  Drinki is pissed that Dylan is with that bitch Sharon.  Sharon handles it calmly.  Whoops.  Sage has a similar convo with Prick, in which she asks him to respect her and this baby.

 

Then we hear sirens.  Lily announces that a guest from the party was in a severe accident.  Prick worries that it was Drinki.  Actually it was Tobias.  Lily offers cabs to all the rich drunk guests. Hah!  Prick and Drinki get into it.  He asks her if she’s been drinking.  She says the evening would drive anyone to drink.  Let me just say, I love MTS in this Drinki role.  She is fabulous.  They get into it about the lies and subertfuge.  She blames him for being responsible for Tobias wrapping his car around a tree.  He tells her:  You disgust me.  She says:  Goodnight.

 

Drinki walks about 20 feet to the bar, where she finds an amiable loser drunk, who wants to party.  Neil intervenes, and he is not happy about the situation.  Drinki also btw is stuffed into a sausage outfit, and she slurs how Neil waltzed in with his son’s ex-girlfriend.  She is truth-telling Drinki.  She says that she and Neil are just following Prick’s orders.  Billy tries to assist, but Neil punches the guy.   Drinki tries to help poor loser guy. 

 

Dick takes Sage back to her room and they lament how the evening went and then he jumps her bones.  More flirting between Billy and Vic.   Sharon and Dylan are back at her place where she explains that being constantly attacked by Drinki and others is de rigeuer.  She’s used to it after all these years.  He leaves, and then returns, cause he cannot stay away, and jumps her bones.

 

Mariah and Kevin are dressed as motel housekeeping staff and break into Tobias’ room.  They find a 3D printer with finger print moulds and hard drives from the CGPD... good work, and now this is tainted evidence and probably how Prick gets off.

 

Dummer and Gnome visit the injured Tobias at the hospital.  Farko is also there, lurking.  Tobias admits he was following them.  Abby is also there.  He says:  You need to know….Austin....and then he dies.  Or at least flatlines.

 

Previews:  Kevin:  Someone is working really hard to get us to believe Tobias is the killer.  Who?

[LeftPhalange]

The fact that Lily said "severe accident" is very disturbing to me.

[Slowpokey]

Thanks Bannana. You are a sweetheart to do these for us.I don't know how you do it but you sure do an awesome job!!!

[PatsyandEddie]

The fact that Lily said "severe accident" is very disturbing to me.

 

 

 

So is the fact that none of the three stooges thought to call for staff help when Tobias flatlined. 

[Petunia13]

Nerd alert

Tobias tha killah geek

[crowswork]

He says: You need to know….Austin....and then he dies. Or at least flatlines

 

Oh Noes! Austin is still alive. ("Shut up about the autopsy") Or it was a twin brother who is also the previously unmentioned son of Congressman Watshisname (Since that story just fizzled out) AND Asstin was part of the Dopplepoluza - Victor THEN Jack was replaced by a youknowhat.

 

Soon Faith is revealed to be a... double. Yes! Sharon had two sets of twins... and managed to lose one of each.

 

Faith 2 murders the Congressman and takes over, becoming the head of Newbot and then cuts Jill off at the knees (literally, it's all she can reach) and takes over Chandler. She pioneers peanut butter and bubblegum perfume.

 

Meanwhile, in a romantic gesture, Billy has himself shipped to Victoria in a cardboard box. Tragically, he starves to death in the living room.

 

Dylan and Sharon open a private eye business... complete with a moody neon light outside.

 

Paul perishes when he rolls over on Cricket and punctures his lung on her clavicle. 

(Don't mind me. I just read the great recaps and re-write the future show in my head. What scares me... sometimes i'm right.)

******* DEAD AGAIN******

[crowswork]

Continued: Summer stops mourning (Seriously - I mourned my goldfish longer) and marries Kyle. Then Sharon points out that you can't change your blind order at Lowe's without three passwords and a red vest, so her - in a manic state - changing Hospital records is bull-shit.

 

Summer sputters and arches her chicken neck and wails "I've done incense." Everyone hops on a bus and goes to Chicago for non-GC DNA tests.

 

 

[MollyB]

Crowswork:  throw in some Benny Hill music and I'll watch.  Your show sounds great!

[C76]

Just when I was thinking about saving an episode or two to watch for later, apparently on Monday (Tuesday in America)

Farco "struggles to keep up appearances with Phyllis." It's about time. I want Farco to start making substantial mistakes. Beyond things that he can excuse as the actions of someone who's merely trying something new. I want him to do things that are absolutely NOT Jack-like. Things that would truly, deeply bother people who know him. IRL, I doubt he would have lasted this long. I love Farco to bits, but we get it. He and Jack are not the same. Time to see him have serious struggles with his facade.

Edited May 24, 2015 by C76

[crowswork]

I keep thinking that if I showed up with a new face and a different personality - someone - would say "What happened to that big scar on your arm?" or "Where's that extra toe?" I wrote a story where the heroine - after one night of passion - recognizes the hero from a blurry photo because she sees his crooked pinky finger as he holds up his had to the camera. Because women notice shit like this.

DD was hot when he was younger, I'm talking about Don Diamont.

He's pretty handsome and fit. The other DD even when he was young and all buff looks like a young more beef cake Michael Bolton who had cut his frizzed out hair.

[bannana]

I will be putting up a recap later tonight (much later) but I just wanted to drop off a couple of morsels:

 

• It looks like Farko framed Tobias so that everyone thinks he is the killer; and Tobias is dead
• Other Faith is back, and she dislikes Sage equally as much--and Sage wants Faith to live with Sharon not Nick, whoops!
• Drinki is Drunki, intervention here we come
• Phyllis is getting suspicious of Farko

[C76]

I almost came in here earlier to say,"Well, so much for the hype re the spoiler I posted earlier." But alas, as bannana reminded me, all wasn't completely lost.

 

Farco can't and DOESN'T know everything about Jack. I'll let Our Resident Recapper explain, but I thought,"Yes. More screw ups like this one, please."

 

(Edited for pointless/semi-meaningful rant.)

 

I figure crowswork was talking about Adam upthread, commenting on recognizing someone in spite of a changed face. Well, I've got a thing or two to say about doppelgängers. You can't teach someone absolutely everything about someone else. Not unless you live with them. And even then, you'd be bound to miss some information. Farco's replication of Jack is too smooth for my liking. The writers are lucky Peter Bergman's talented, 'cause if not, this storyline would be getting on my nerves.

 

Also, I like both of the girls who play Faith. I almost don't care about how accurate their brattiness is. I think it's hilarious.

Edited May 26, 2015 by C76

[miamama]

It looks like Farko's slip ups are adding up and Phyllis is becoming suspicious, finally. I am so very much enjoying Farko. He's now showing some coldness, which I love to see. PB being badass is so owning EB's Victor and his arsenal of odd faces. lol. I can't wait to see more (of badass Farko that is). That said, I'm seriously missing Jack. It's a little ridiculous considering the actor is still on. But I want Jack to come home. sniff.

 

Is anyone finding it ridiculous that Nick and Sage are telling everyone about the pregnancy when she is barely weeks into it? Isn't that stupid? Especially to tell a little girl?

 

Drinki is a seriously sloppy drunk. She totters and slurs within minutes of starting to drink it seems. I buy it though. I have a cousin who has abused alcohol so badly he slurs after one beer. 

 

I could not care less about Joe. He is a gorgeous man but he's boring and utterly irrelevant. They cannot hook him up with Avery. Who will care about those two boring and irrelevant people?

Edited May 26, 2015 by miamama

[bannana]

So it is the morning after the merger PARTY and I felt for a second like I missed an episode.  Instead of dragging things out, we find out from Gnome and Dummer that Tobias is the killer, case closed.  We also have Kevin over at the Squad Room talking to a cop about how lucky it was that the case is closed while Chief Paul is out of town, and the cop is boxing up the evidence.  (Really?  I know these are pathetic cops but I feel somehow more work should be done on this.  Evidence should be reviewed, and verified, meetings should happen with Tobias’ family and friends, etc.)  Oh, and it was really lucky they got that anonymous tip about the incriminating stuff at Tobias’ place, wink wink, nudge nudge.  And then we see Phyllis and Farko telling Prick that the case is closed, and isn’t it amaze-balls how a random car crash is all it took to expose the killer.  Except Prick isn’t buying it and later tells Farko that he suspects him that he framed and killed Tobias.  And later Kev thinks the whole thing is too neat and tidy, and wonders whether he got played.

 

 

Prick also gets a call from Island Cop updating him on their progress in trying to locate Jack, which is no progress.  Prick is not happy. 

 

So for the boring…Dylan bumps into Avery at her apartment.  He is there to pick up his things.  She is back in town for one day to do some legal work.  She tells him he can stay at her apt cause he has nowhere to live since he gave up the loft and they converted it to another set.  She’s concerned he’s living in a hotel.  But he says he has another place, and the nickel drops and she realizes he’s bunking with Sharon.  Whoops!  It’s just a few moments more before the whole story comes out and he tells Avery that since she broke up with him, it doesn’t matter that 5 seconds later he fell into Sharon’s bed.  Or something like that.  Back in Chi-town, Joe is talking with his new attractive doctor/psychiatrist, who wonders why Joe only seems to be making progress when Avery is around.   Avery shows up and the doc tells her that Joe is going home and she hopes that Avery will be his support system.  And Avery says she will.

 

 

Sharon meanwhile, looking truly stunning in a gorgeous yellow dress, with side-parted hair, shows up at CL where Dick and Sage are with nu-old Faith.  Both of these actresses are so good in this role, it’s astonishing.  Before Sharon arrived, Faith got her scowl on when Sage showed up.  Dick said he has something to tell her, and she thinks it is that Sage is his girlfriend again, and he says no.  When Sharon shows up, Faith runs to her and says she has good news, and Sharon assumes it is about the BABY and says to Faith that she is going have a little sis or bro.  Faith assumes that Sharon is pregnant, but no, that’s not it.  Dick then says he and Sage are pregnant, and Faith says NO.  Hah!  Sharon intervenes and tells Faith how much fun she is going to have being a big sister.  But Faith says she doesn’t want to live with Dick anymore, and Sharon and Dick remind her the judge says she has to stay at Daddy’s house.  And Sage says:  But that can change.  Rut roh.  Sharon sees an opportunity and says, we’ll have to wait and see, and Sage says maybe Faith can stay sometimes at Sharon’s, maybe the judge will change his mind.

 

Sharon and Faith bump into Dylan next.  Faith is excited because Daddy’s going to see if I can spend nights with Mommy.  And Sharon says, he said Maybe, and Faith scowls, Maybe means it is never going to happen.

 

Dick is not pleased with Sage, and says:  You are afraid for you and your BABY, you are afraid of Sharon, but you want to push Faith into Sharon’s orbit.  Yikes.  He accuses Sage of trying to get rid of Faith so she and her BABY can have him all to themselves.  She says no, that’s not it, but Faith clearly is not happy about this BABY, and she’s not sure she wants her negative energy around.   And if Sharon sees Sage as being on her side, maybe she can help Faith accept the BABY.  Dylan butts in and lobbies for Faith spending nights with Sharon.  Dick isn’t sure if he can trust Sharon with Faith alone all night, and Dylan points out that she won’t be alone.  But wait a minute, Dylan has mental health issues and kidnapped a BABY, how does that make him more sane or better than Sharon?  Argh.   Anyways, Dick doesn’t say that, he asks how close Dylan and Sharon are.  Wait another minute, I am pretty sure that last week Dick outright said to Dylan, so you’re sleeping with her.  Did he forget that?  Dylan said he is close with Sharon and will stand by her and Faith.  Dick says he really doesn’t care at all.  Sharon walks up and says she appreciates Dylan’s support, a lot, but she can also take care of herself.  Dick switches back to the topic of Faith staying at Sharon’s.  Faith walks in and says it is never going to happen and that Sage just said that so Faith would like her.  What a smart cookie!  Dick says that Sage said it cause it is a good idea.  That was a 180, Dick!  He’s going to call Avery to talk to the judge about having Faith spend one night a week at Sharon’s.  Faith and Sharon are thrilled, and Sage is positively beaming, and Dick is Dick.

 

Drinki is pretending like she wasn’t drunk the night before.  She shows up at the Squad Room, hoping to bail out Neil, who was arrested after drunk loser guy pressed charges because Neil decked him.  Leslie has already come and gone, and she got Neil out, and he realizes this could be bad because he recently was on probation for that other incident.  Drinki seems very concerned that he is okay, but he confronts her about being Drunki the night before.  She says the guy tried to assault her, and she was only unsteady on her feet because she was tired, and that’s what she told Victoria.  Neil says Drinki is lying.  Kev passes by and tells Neil that his arrest was covered in GC Buzz, and Drinki is trying to find it on her phone. Neil accuses her of being worried that the news coverage will include descriptions of her being drunk.  She says she doesn’t care about her rep, she is only worried for Neil’s rep, and he says that Hevon saw to that.  He says Drinki needs help, and she says no, she is not out of control at all.  He points out that she told him he needed help and if he’d listened, Paul and Christine would be singing lullabies to their baby instead of seeking psychiatric help regarding Christine’s new carpet phobia.

 

 

Dummer, Gnome, Kevin and Mariah are at the pool bar rooftop lounge.  Everyone except Kev is celebrating because the killer was caught.  Mariah wants to know what the problem is.  Kev says he just came from the police station.  And then right there in public, like a foot away from a guy in a pink plaid shirt sitting at the bar, Mariah says, OMG, did you tell anybody that we broke into Tobias’ motel room?  And Kev says: How stupid do you think I am.  Nobody knows that we called in the anonymous tip.  Hah!  No wonder this guy has been in jail multiple times.  Kevin thinks that they were played and someone is working hard to make them believe Tobias is the killer.  Dummer says the last thing Tobias said was Austin’s name.  But Kev says that doesn’t make him a murderer.  Mariah says Austin clearly interviewed Tobias for his expose, but Kev points out that there was no footage of Tobias.  Plus, if Austin had something so explosive on Tobias that he would kill  for it, why did he go public in front of all the Newbots?  Why did he throw away his careful plans just to lambaste the Newbots?  Kev cannot believe they all are just buying that Tobias is guilty, and Gnome tells him to drop it, and Kev says fine, it is dropped.

 

 

Neil and Drinki run into Prick at the GCAC, who says he was there to check on Drinki.  She says she is fine thanks to Neil.  Neil says that guy needed someone to put him in his place, and it didn’t help that he had too much to drink.  Prick points out that he wasn’t the only one.  Drinki says the vultures at GC Buzz are always trashing the Newmans, but Prick says Vic told him that Drinki was somewhat intoxicated.  He asks her outright:  Were you drunk, and Drinki says, No, but Neil says, Yes.  Neil says he won’t lie for Drinki anymore, and says:  Prick, she was drunk.  Drinki says, how can you believe Neil, he’s a drunk.  HA HA HA!!!  Prick says this is damned embarrassing.  Neil says everyone saw Drinki and knew she was drunk.  So she admits she had a couple of drinks and what did they expect with all the Newbots at the PARTY, and the big lie about the CONTRACT hanging over head.  Prick says she has to stop making excuses, and Neil says let us help you, and Drinki tells them to go to hell.  Next stop, Intervention.  She goes to her room; Prick is beside himself and tells Neil that he has removed all the alcohol from the mini bar in her room.  Ha Ha!  Prick says he is not going to be able to convince her to go to rehab, and Neil agrees, and Prick says he is going to have take harsher measures.

 

Phyllis and Farko are at the GCAC and she is pointing out since the wedding they have gone through a lot, including Farko not behaving like himself at all.  She says they need to move forward and he agrees and is glad she wants to move forward with him.  She says, I took our vows very seriously, I will love and cherish and go with the ghost.  He looks puzzled and she says:  You remember that don’t you, Yack?  He tries to cover, and says of course he remembers, he was just distracted by her beautiful eyes, and she looks very uneasy.

 

 

Sharon and Dylan are back at her place and she is excited and wants to reno Faith’s room, but he says they should wait and see.  He does believe that it will happen.  He tells her about his convo with Avery.  Sharon says that she is the last person on the planet Avery would want to see Dylan with and he says, Does it matter, I made my choice.

 

Drinki is now at the pool bar rooftop lounge having cocktails, and Neil shows up (I swear, the man is stalking her).  He thinks it is a little early even for a drunk but she says it is 5 o’clock somewhere, and she wishes she was there.    She is really Drunki now.    She says she will stop drinking when she is ready.  She is quite hilarious now and tries to order another drink but Neil signals the bartender to cut her off.  Drinki staggers out of there.  Neil calls someone and says he has a friend who is in serious trouble and there is only one way to help.  Could it be A&E’s Intervention he called?

 

 

Gnome and Dummer show up a the GCAC and talk to Phyllis about how relieved they are about the murderer being caught.  Dummer says she is ready to move on and wants to give Gnome the chance to show her who he really is.  Phyllis says she would like the same from Farko!  Meanwhile Gnome is talking to Farko and tells him that Kevin is not satisfied, and has concerns about whether Tobias is the killer.  Farko says Kevin needs to drop it, the case is closed.  Kevin and Mariah are at the Squad Room.  It turns out that Mariah has doubts too.

 

Prick gets a phone call from Island Cop who now has news that several boats left the island last night and it is possible that Jack stowed away in one of them, and Prick says:  You must be kidding me.  The IC explains that these are illegal ships and they could be headed in any direction to all over the world and Prick says, so Jagabbid could be on one of those ships and on his way home.  And, he says this out loud in the GCAC where anyone could overhear!

 

 

Previews:  Dylan to Phyllis:  If Avery chooses Joe, that is her choice, and Phyllis says:  Avery wants you.

BTW, the previews are being cut off in my recent recordings so I will try a different channel and see if that’s better. The previews are half the fun!

 Oh my goodness! I seriously had a coworker catch me reading this because I couldn't stop the cackle out loud when I read the bolded part! Well worth it, but I did get caught. Guess I'm bringing donuts tomorrow!

 

Thanks for all of the recaps! Because of you, I always know whether I need to watch the show or just fast-forward to see how insanely-gorgeous Sharon is that day.

Same as when Victor took phone calls at the CGAC regarding Jack missing and I think Kelly dead. Not only surrounded by people, but didn't even have his back to the wall so he could see others. Someone (don't remember now who) walked up behind him just as he finished the phone call. Such stooopid writing and so unbelievable.

 

Also pretty funny that VIctor as usual takes no responsibility for Drinki falling off the wagon. Lying about Jack signing the contract is just another reason. Geez, if Nikki was married to someone who really cared about her and her well being she might never touch a drop.

 

I love how Drinki said the guy in the roof top bar tried to pick her up (or however she put it) as if she wasn't all over him.  Guess she forgot that after Neil hit him she caressed his face and called him "Baby".

 

I am totally blanking on what Phyl was referring to when she called Fack "Yack" and said something about a ghost?
