Holey HIPAA, Batman.  You let someone you know is mentally unstable read the notes on private sessions?  Assley, get a new friend/therapist asap.  And Traci, stop gasping that you won't put her in an institution.  It's what she needs and is probably a lot safer than what's happening now.

Oh, for fcuk's sake......

[Kemper]

I think Victor thinks of himself as a sort of mob boss. The writers and producers should indulge this.  Since EB sits in many of his scenes, the wardrobe department might want to think about stuffing his cheeks with gauze (like Marlon Brando in The Godfather) and having him mumble all of his lines while seated. Daytime Emmy coming next year.

Alan feels guilty because Martin.

As well he should.  Ashley told him that she talked to him after the fight and he told her he couldn't have since he was out of the country before they ever got to Paris.  A light bulb should have gone on in his brainpan that she may have been telling the truth (as she saw it) and put together the Martin connection, especially since the Real Ashley was so insistent that she saw him.

[surfgirl]

Hey, at least Alive Alan, assuming he's not really Dead Martin, is about to get some sexy times with Traci (I may have just thrown up in my mouth typing that). 😳

Jack tells him why would he come after glissade for competitor second rate. He doesn't care about him or company. Tucker finds coincidence he's here when meeting. Jack tells him he's here for her sister and nothing to do with him and kicks him out. 

This is what will happen. Adam will take over temporarily. Nikki says she'll return now, he tells her no and Victoria says she'll return too for help. Victor calls them out on it being about Adam he tells them it's not going to happen because it's not what he wants.

Katie questions if Claire will murder them in their sleep.

A valid point, Katie.  Since Claire is an adult (dress code, notwithstanding) she could move out and live all by her self at the Raunch.  Didn't she have a swell room up there with a walk-in closet and bath?  I give the living arrangement three days before Katie runs away.

This 'is it Alive Alan or Dead Martin' is getting very tiresome.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Forget the actors real names but Tracy and Alan have great chemistry together and it is hard to believe they are just delivering dialogue as written rather than just acting naturally.  Their conversations and laughter were so smooth.  

BUT I too am tired of the mystery!

To me it's still up in the air. I mean I hope that Dead Martin is really Dead and Alive Alan is really alive. But this is Josh we're talking about, so Alive Alan could still be Dead Martin, IMO of course.

Alan is the alive one.  Until maybe....a few years (or less) from now...a new writer will decide to reveal that Alan is really Martin and then hijinks ensue. Apparently bringing someone back from the dead ... many times...is a common daytime plot.  No matter if anyone wants to watch it.

Billy says he can help with merger.  He calls it Abbott Chancellor to him and their families success. Billy confident they'll get it done, wants Chance to help. He agrees to help, Billy says COO how does that sound. 

Lily saying she felt like traitor. Devon says he's selling it, he couldn't just say ok great.   He's not wrong lol.  Devon wants to know why she's getting upset. Lily says she's sly her act, she's saying it's her performance. Devon calls out how long it told Lily to tell him about the ousting Devon plan,  Lily asking if they think she's a liar. 

Devon says he thinks no lying to him, but maybe herself. He wants to make sure she's not having second thoughts. Nate stays out of it and Lily wants to get work done. 

Connor and Chelsea dropped Connor and excited for how well things went. Adam thinking if they should ask doctor when he can come home.  They praise each other for how well they support each other. 

He calls jet to go home, wants champagne to celebrate. Doctor calls Chelsea to meet. 

Doctor shows up to tell them there's a problem. Connor return in high spirits and shared, ocd then flared because good things happened to tell them they don't deserve the good.  Connor hit himself again then tried to stab himself with a pen. They moved him to inpatient status where he can't leave the wing. The ocd is weakening but fighting back.  He could be in new wing a couple of days or weeks. Doctor goes. 

Adam  wants to know what Chelsea thinking. She's mad if he wants to pull out his spiral, it's her turn to freak out. They never put Connor first, they're selfish. She's not sure how they were so happy. Adam says it'll be ok. 

Devon and Nate walk into Society and run into Billy and Chance. Devon asks Chance what he thinks. Devon says he'll go with board vote. Nate wonders if Lily wasn't wrong he's pushing her away. 

Chance sees Lily. Tells her Billy says it's done deal. Offers to help with anything that needs done. He praises her staying out of fighting. After he leaves she thinks of Neil telling her and Devon about family business. 

Billy gets call from Jill.  Telling her they're ready as soon as Abby lands, Jill having second thoughts. Billy says no this is only way, asking if Lily on board. She's seeing things from different perspectives. Billy says he has the voting, it's the right call, let him run this. 

Nate saying they don't need to do everything together because they're brother and sister. Asks him and Lily needs to ask to share do you really want. 

Jill calls Lily too. She asks Lily if she's really on plan for the conscious uncoupling. Lily points out Billy is with 2 votes and she put him in charge . Jill now suggesting she may vote herself if they don't get it right they'll lose the company.

She says she loves him but she's had enough of his behaviour. Jack walks in while they were fighting in hall. 

Diane says he's been trying and fix the problem. He's been after her every turn. Kyle fights back saying he's doing his job and not her fault she doesn't have experience. He tries to get Jack to side with him. He's condescending and in front of Jack. 

Diane says he rewrote her press release, he cancelled a meeting with her project manager and reschedule without her, all the emails he was cc on and replied for her. Then Huntly deal, she told Kyle to not finalize deal. This morning she finds out Kyle finalized the deal and told the of these guy to bypass Diane. Jack now concerned and he went to far.

She cries its only normal when Harrison in room.

He realized by Victor was right, he doesn't care if it's ok with his parents.  Victor wants to know why he left quickly, he deflects.

How do these companies survive with the stupidity of their executives?  Do the underlings have a second set of books and another office complex that does the real work?

What custody agreement?  When did Tara give up her parental rights?  (Details, JG, we can't have everything happen off screen.)  I appreciate the role of stepmom that Summer has and I think she should still be in the kid's life, but she is not his mom!  And she shouldn't be using her relationship with Hairyson to interfere in the Audra/Kyle relationship.  Or to get sympathy from anyone who will listen about the loss of her 'son'.
