General Hospital - April 10, 2018 Episode Reflections

Before we begin, I have admittedly been on a streak of going back to previous General Hospital episodes, and really - re-watching the full JaSam history from the beginning. I've currently hit the 2017 era and re-watched the Hotel Hostage scenes. I have one thing to say - they triumph the earthquake, anything that #GH has done lately by far. Can we get back to stuff like that?

Ah, a girl can only dream because instead, we're stuck with Franco and whatever else they want to give us. I had a glimmer of hope when he wouldn't wake up for Drew. I mean, I would prefer he just stay that way. Stop teasing me with all these ways Franco could die, General Hospital, and just do it.

Also, can I puke at Franco and Drew bonding, especially considering that Drew is still married to Sam, the woman that Franco sexually assaulted?

Palm meet face when Drew says, "I'm going to let Franco tell you when he's ready." I was about to scream as all I could see is the secret game with Liz continuing. But I get it - even though Franco isn't my "guy" and I wish no forgiveness to him despite this redemption storyline, I will agree that he should be able to tell Elizabeth the truth himself.

So let's all dance and sing now that the secret is out because frankly, we don't need to harp on that anymore. But I bet the reaction gets dragged out from both Franco and Drew. That said, I almost feel bad for Drew being alone right now. Where's Kim?

Side point - Jordan is being a bitch in her way of asking for information. Where's the sympathy? Getting pressured to actually do work?
--------

But hey, there's also better things than Franco - like CarSason. I missed the fab three together.

Sonny saying, "I just want to know why I'm just hearing about this now" was no surprise. Clearly, the understanding factor of we wanted to give you space, I had it under control, you have other things to worry about isn't going to fly over Sonny.

That said, as soon as he stated "there's no proof the scarf was there," you knew that he was probably that Carly is going insane. I just feel terrible in watching Carly go through this - and then having her own husband throw her under the bus so to speak.

I'm glad that they called Jason and was even hopeful when he asked for details from that night, as if maybe it could lead to Jason finding a clue in the house. But that was obviously a hopeless thought.

I about shit bricks when Sonny said, "No, we don't have time to call Brick. I'm going to call the cops."  Jason has been gone so long that Sonny has forgotten the proper protocol for these situations. I love how Jason double checked, too, with Sonny saying,  "Dante traced the call, and there is a legal record of this." Is this about making Dante feel better given the latest trend of events? I'd rather be focused on Carly safety than that.

That said, it was no shock when Carly gave in and said, "Yeah, I want the cops in on this and since it's legal and it's my house, I'll make the call."  She is probably just doing this to make Sonny feel better about the situation given the recent events, too. But no surprise when she said, "That's the second time that I went to the police, and the second time that they found nothing."  What else do you expect in this town?

So no surprise Sonny wants Carly to see Griffin. Really, it's turning into Jason doing whatever he can for Carly while Sonny believes she's crazy. I can't wait for Sonny to be proved wrong once again. Sometimes he truly underestimates Carly - as she said to him on March 31,  "You’re a hard man to love Sonny. But nothing worth having is ever easy. And I do love you. I really love you."

As much as I am enjoying Anna and Jason working together, too, I wish she would've not called at that time. It would've been nice to have more scenes with the #fab3 together.

That said, the chemistry and feelings that Jason is picking up from #fanna is perfect, too. I love how he asked, "Are you sure he's not telling you what you want to hear?" or telling her how Finn wanted to protect her. Then of course, Anna wasn't so coy either in immediately pondering for full details of that conversation. Even Alexis recognizes it too saying, "You and Anna protest your feelings for each other just a little too much." Can we just please hook them up already?

Anna saying, "You're making a large assumption that he left those clues for his mother." It's no surprise that she's trying to throw him off the mother. However, she opened the discussion by reading the opening statement and saying, "It's a mission statement. He's coming for his mother next."

No surprise in Jason just sticking to business with "you focus on Emma. Who knows - Faison's lighter may lead us to Heinreck and his mother." Jason is going to figure this all out - don't we worry. He probably already has a good hunch about Anna's closeness to Heinreck, and has an eye on Peter.

-----------

Also, how long are we going to focus on Peter's lighter and keep replaying that over and over as a clue until a detail is revealed? That said, I wish I could shoot Lulu in the foot for saying, "There are so many clues about the writer's identity." I wouldn't have said that to him directly, considering.

Peter is certainly a man at hiding his secret, even using the "it's a spy thriller. We received an advanced copy" excuse once Maxie saw the book. As soon as Lulu identified the Faison connection, not surprised one bit by Maxie dropping the book instantly - and you had to know another round of Maxie vs Lulu was right behind that, as we saw. Hence no surprise in Maxie saying, "Either way, you get to cash in on Nathan's death again."

She was also good in her words directly to Peter in saying, "It's a story about how he - Heinreck - shouldn't be blamed. Now his father is dead and he gets a free pass. How is that fair?" Thank you Maxie for finally riding Heinreck's ass in front of Peter. I can't wait for more of this to happen.

That said, my jaw dropped when she went down the opposite path and said, "Maybe I'm being unfair about Heinreck. What if the story in that book is true and he's just another victim of Faison's?"  I still say Heinreck isn't getting no free ride from me.

So of course Peter takes advantage and says, "Maybe you should read it instead of basing your opinion on the inside flap." Peter, you may have a story and a great reason, but you still held a man captive for longer than deserved, and you're still playing hide and seek with this secret. That said, Maxie's reaction to the book could be interesting to see.

----------

I hope Nina keeps pursuing Peter because there's value in her saying, "When his past comes out, I just hope it doesn't hurt Maxie." I also wasn't surprised in Valentine responding, "Whenever it comes out, I just hope that you keep this to yourself." Valentine is only trying to cover his tracks.

That said, we'll see that works. Lulu's timing was perfect saying she'd accept Valentine's offer at that very time in front of Nina. That'll prove interesting down the line. I mean, it already proved good in causing Nina to ask, "I get why you want to expose Heinreck, but what is in it for you?" So how long until Valentine's involvement is exposed?

Lulu was perfect in saying, "I still believe that Heinrech is here in Port Charles." Anybody notice the look on Valentine's face?

General Hospital - April 9, 2018 Episode Reflections

I don't know why I even wasted the time to put this together. I'm totally over this episode as it was beyond pointless. The Melle interaction was just bleh, and who could give a crap about Franco? I'm already set for tomorrow in seeing #CarSason together.

But here we go, anyway......

Jim was actually pretty violent in what he did to Franco in molesting him. And yes, he deserves to be shot. I'll give it to them - Jim deserves it all the way.

That said, it was nice to see a twist in having Drew pull the trigger and not Franco. At least we may get some interesting intrigue here - not that it matters because both get on my nerves.

But beyond that, this whole Franco gets redemption for what Jim did to him as a kid and now we should feel bad for Franco and forgive for what he did to Jason, Sam, Michael, Carly, Jocelyn, etc because of this - sorry, not buying it and not doing it - even if he and Drew have "saved all these kids" now. I could really just fast forward now because the episode felt like a waste for me, if I'm being honest here.

Also, now that the truth has come out, though, we know that Franco understands that type of torture and pain - but yet even knowing that pain, he's willing to cause more pain for Sam by hanging around her in knowing the feelings that she has around him for what he did? It doesn't add up!

Besides that, you could feel the hurt when Sonny said, "Oh, so you told Jason and Dante, but not me?" Well, you've been a little busy with a lot on your mind. She didn't want to worry you even more - out of the kindness of her heart. That said, now that she's got Jason and Sonny on her side, Nelle is really in trouble because as Sonny said, "We're going to get through this together...." But I also wonder about Sonny knowing and what is setting up to happen. It's almost like Sonny is going to believe she's going crazy and Jason isn't, and Jason finding the truth will prove it.

I also get how people say from a mile away, Carly should be able to tell that Nelle is behind everything. But sometimes grief can play tricks on you, and you'll do whatever you can to believe that someone is still alive - and that's what she's doing here with Morgan.

General Hospital - April 6, 2018 Episode Reflections

To start off, kudos to the General Hospital writers for the writing they've done since Jason's return for his character. So many good lines dropped day after day. And thank you Steve Burton for returning, and your great delivery of the character. It's a good time to be a fan.

Now, let's get into the episode because frankly, it made up for everything that Thursday was lacking and then some.

The scene with Jason and Carly today was EVERYTHING. So many good lines dropped throughout. Hot damn. Carly's clapbacks for Jason at the beginning were the perfect spice - as to be expected given Carly's history.

But Jason's words back to Carly about Drew? Now that was the icing for the cake, and then some. Finally it has been spoken outloud what we've known for months. He's right in every sense of the word because rather than speaking her true feelings about everything - like she did with Jason ever since he came back, she kept coddling his feelings, subjecting herself to his need to be re-assured rather than following herself.

Cue the tape....
"Sam is taking Danny and Scout on a trip and finding herself." "How is that good news?" Because Jason knows once she finds herself, she'll remember what they're worth together, and the clarity she needs in what they've told each other.

 "She needs time away..." "I can see she needs time away from Drew, but she doesn't need more time away from you." 

 "She needs time to figure out what she wants." "Okay, the sooner the better. Then she can follow her heart back to you."

 "I'm okay with anything as long as she doesn't go back to Drew." "Why?" "Because she's not herself with him. She loses herself confidence with him....." 

 "Why didn't you say anything before?" "It took me awhile to figure out what was going on." Jason knew right away. That's why he gave her the space and waited and let her realize - not wanting to increase that pressure on her shoulders.

"If she comes back to me, it's going to be the happiest day of my life, and uh, if she doesn't, as long as she's strong, confident, and truly happy, I will be okay." "I agree with you - Sam will do what makes her happy, and I think she will." 

 "When Sam comes back and runs to your arms, I'm going to need you to tell me that you're right with witnesses." I can't wait for that to happen - it'll be great for those who kept saying Carly was full of herself. Can we have Drew as one of those witnesses, please?

"He's going to all places that Faison did business." "How is he doing that?" "By posing as Heinrech." "You don't think he's going to screw up?" Isn't that idea so that way Jason and Sam find a hotel room - I mean.....

Sonny's comments about Spinelli continue too in saying, "Spinelli is a genius when it comes to computers. But when it comes to the real world...." Just like classic old times....

Sonny is right that "anything with Fiason is personal for Anna," as much as Jason is right in saying, "But it almost feels like she's too close to the search for his son..." Jason is gonna figure out the connection so Anna might as well say it.
I get how adamant Sonny is being in saying, "Mike was never there. He couldn't have known what happened." But sometimes mistakes are made. Isn't the same as how Franco wasn't supposed to be there when Claudia was shot?

Also, in hearing how Sonny talked about his father wanting him to make a different choice, in hearing him say that his father warned him about Skully - could his father been spying at the time to try and make sure that Sonny didn't get caught, or possibly change his mind?

Jason also brought up a good theory in saying, "Maybe he heard the story and maybe he wanted to be there - so he made it seem that way." By the way, this is another good reason to have Jason back. Beyond the great #jarly scenes, you have him offering the best, comforting advice for Sonny. He always can help Sonny get down a peg.

On that note, my heart just swelled when Jason said, "I never understood the value of memory, because I couldn't miss a childhood that I didn't know. But the other night, at Luke's, I started to realize how much I've been through with all those people & how much it meant to see those people and remember the good times."

--------

So Nelle saying, "I'm sorry I had to steal this Joce, but I know you'll understand - it's for a good cause." Welp, that's a big lie. How do you think Jocelyn is going to feel once she heard you tormented her mother?

I'm not even going to begin to understand Nelle's objectives - or think they're right, fair or anything. Everything she's done to this point has been ridiculous, too. But I hand it to her - she's doing a great job with the house haunting. That was well-played in the steps that she took with the lights and Morgan's room.

In the same thought, I was hoping Carly found Nelle with that bat and whacked her.

---------

I've picked on Oscar so much through things, but his advice to his mom today was on point. And Oscar, you'll get your wish soon enough. The defiance in Kim's words is all we need to hear.

Oscar is right in saying, "I understand if you don't want to talk to me about Drew. You shouldn't be talking to Julian, either. You should be talking to Drew." Like Kim said yesterday, she has never felt a love like Drew again.

Kim is also good at excuses in saying, "Your father doesn't remember being that person. [...] When I talk about Drew, I'm talking about missing the Drew of the past - not the Drew that was here with us now." He may not remember, but he still has that personality. Go get Kim....

"He left you something." "Oscar...." "The CD you can't seem to throw away." 

"You don't have to pretend you don't have feelings for Drew." "Okay, that's enough...."

 "So you're not going to tell me how you feel about Drew?" "I already did."

---------

"I'm totally calm." "Totally..." / "It won't work until you're ready." "I'm ready." / "You can't force this...." Oh please do go ahead with it. We want this storyline over.

I laughed when Kevin said, "If you force a memory, you could undo everything you've done to this point. Do you want to do that?"  What have we accomplished so far anyway?

"That was a big mistake. Get in that car..." "Get away from my mom!" If there's any kid on this show that you don't want to mess with, it's Jake based on everything he's been through.

So Betsy finally reveals what Jim Harvey did to Drew - but yet General Hospital makes it so we can't hear it, thinking that we're going to go even crazier in anticipation of hearing the details. They try to increase that with Drew teasing it to Kevin in saying, "She told me how I fell down those stairs, and how it relates back to Harvey...."

They even teased the storyline being over with Franco killing Harvey in saying, "I know you're evil, and you will never hurt anyone I love again."

But instead, they show punches between the pair, followed by them disappearing. Sure, it's supposed to add drama and angst and make you more interesting, but sorry not happening.

This brings me to the following........

My Daily Annoyance: The Franco Tormented Past Storyline

It feels like it's been going on and on and on and on and on forever now and it's getting really annoying. How much do we really need to drag a story out? But I get it - they're probably going to keep dragging it out until they feel the fanbase is willing to forgive Franco. The problem is that will never happen. Franco, Bobby, I don't care, is always Freako in my eyes.

The scene in Jason watching Franco with Sam on the honeymoon, along with JaSam right afterwards - forever itched in my mind. The emotions, the heartbreak, the pain, the anger - you don't forget the strength together at a time like that. And with how far etched that Franco torment scene is forever in my mind - along with the other crap that Franco pulled - for example, Michael, there is no way that you can ever redeem Franco, nor should he get any sympathy from anybody.

Just in case you haven't seen Franco and the shower scene, here you go.



Also - does everybody have to like a character for him to be popular? Absolutely not. Sometimes the most unlikeable characters are the most loved actors because of the job they do. While the original Franco drove me insane, I admired James Franco for the job he did.
Furthermore, this needs to be said as well....
I also laugh at people saying that Drew and Sam are being tested right now and people are throwing daggers at them to see their laugh. Umm, you clearly don't understand what daggers and being thrown under a soap bus is then.

The history with #jasam triumphs anything with #dream. They grew closer through losing baby Lila, they went through questioning whether they could have kids together, the Manny storyline, and Franco's torture for at least two and a half years.

General Hospital - April 5, 2018 Episode Reflections

This episode was a complete dry. There was only like maybe 20 minutes worth watching. Some of the Kim/Julian scenes, and the set-up for Friday. The rest? Bleh....

To start off, I'm not one to criticize actors openly ever because hey, they're just doing their jobs right? But really, can we get Billy Miller to not mumble his lines as Drew? I mean, I'd like to actually hear what he has to say about Sam.

Because of his mumbling, I had to pause and go back to see what he said. In case you misheard him he told Elizabeth, "I don't want a wife whose confused about whom she loves. We both deserve better than that." Now understanding his actual words, I guess I can give him a little credit now as being pinned in living a lie is never a good life to lead so at least Drew is willing to admit that. That said, Sam isn't confused as she says she loves you both. She just needs time to see who more. Isn't your love worth giving her time rather than shutting out right away?

But I will say I actually feel bad for Drew thinking he was the cause of Betsy's freak out.

On another note, what was the point of the whole hypnosis for Franco? We didn't learn a single thing. That was just a waste of time.  Ugh.....

It didn't surprise me when Dr. Bensch said, "The only one that doesn't believe in you is yourself." Of course, praying on someone who is lacking self-confidence. That's nothing new. I also puked when he said, "Hopefully we can get back to a good, productive work relationship." I wouldn't want any connection one bit after something like that.

So Julian saying, "That was a I want to forget Drew kiss" along with "Oscar will be home soon" got me thinking. Is it more like he can't forget Alexis? Is it more like he can relate to the feelings because of Alexis? I actually applaud Julian in making Kim realize this, though, because she admitted it in saying, "I've never felt the love that I felt with Drew, and I never felt it since. I guess after all these years, I haven't gotten over him." Really, it's just a matter of time because the #krew chemistry will rekindle more, especially with Oscar wanting more.

General Hospital - April 4, 2018 Episode Reflections

Nice move by Jason to hold the book hostage and not letting Anna read it until he got the information that he wanted. But oh Anna in reading that quote and saying, "It's a mission statement. He's coming for his mother next." Now, are you still going to do everything to protect him Anna?


So for a guy that says he's done nothing wrong and should be forgiven, Peter seemed pretty worried in asking Griffin, "Are you going to keep my secret, or sign my death warrant?" Why are you so worried, Peter? I thought you said your actions were excusable given the circumstances and whatever things you said yesterday. Getting cold feet? Realizing whatever plan you had is screwing up?

"Come clean about who you are." "That's suicide." "It's the only way to maintain the relationships. [....] Your father killed her husband, which is your brother. If Maxie finds out you've known all along...." Great advice from Griffin. Hopefully it means the truth comes out.

I was hopeful when Ava got her hands on the envelope, too, by the way. Too bad Griffin removed the names but having her suspicious about a connection between two people? Hopefully classic Ava comes out.

For the record, I actually wish that Ava would've continued going on about Morgan in front of Nelle. Maybe it'd make her realize the hole that she's slowly digging herself piece by piece with this plan. But oh Ava in saying, "You need to make sure that Michael isn't going to take his mother's side." Meanwhile, Nelle is making the space between them further and further apart.

Ava was also right in saying, "Your actions may have unintended consequences." I can see that for Nelle especially considering messing with Morgan will go beyond just Carly.

On a Michael note, that kid has to have the kindest heart ever. The way he handled the Mike and Sonny situation was just pure gold. And for the record, yes, Mike did a good number on my heart today once again.

Now I hope speeding through Mike's symptoms doesn't cause the story to fade quickly because it's one of their best lately and I'd like to see it go on for awhile. But knowing General Hospital writers, we'll speed through this and get stuck with Franco's stupid memories for months and months and months all because Frank wants his pet to be perfect. I don't care what happened to Franco in his past - he isn't getting any sympathy for his years of driving people insane.

Speak of the devil, oh Franco in saying that he can't see Jim "step foot in this town again."  Franco, you've been a villain yourself. You should know that he won't just disappear.

General Hospital - April 3, 2018 Episode Reflections

So today's General Hospital episode tried to do some things - and failed. I have no sympathy for bitches......

So by Peter revealing whom he is, he says he will let his father win and doesn't want to? I think it's the opposite. Right now daddy is winning by continuing to watch those in Port Charles be tormented. By the truth being revealed, it begins the healing and ends Raisins reign. That said, I love how Griffin is calling out all of Peter's wrongdoings and the fact that yes, everybody deserves an explanation.

So I laughed when Peter said, "I had to admit him to the clinic so he could heal." "For five years? His family grieved...." He then goes, "Jason was still recovering, he was still weak."  I'm not buying Peter's excuses - considering it took horse tranquilizers to keep Jason there.  I also want to know if Peter was such a helpful guy, why did he send those guys after Jason after he escaped? Wouldn't that equal healed and strong enough in what Peter wanted for Jason's time at the clinic? Secondly, if you're not evil, what about the Sam situation?

Frankly, I hope Griffin goes and tells Jason the truth.

----------------

Notice how quickly Finn jumped to Anna's defense in front of Jason.

Also, I can't deal with Liz. She just seemed like an attention seeking bitch today, if I'm being honest. The continued crap for Jason about Franco reminds me of the same crap as before when she'd pull out the random lines about her life with Lucky. Remember then sometimes she's succeeded, but sometimes she hasn't. Right now? Franco doesn't warrant the attention, and Jason has enough on his plate with Sam & Heinreck to worry.

"Just so you know, Franco moved out. I mean, you'd want to know so he's as far away from Jake as possible." "If you want me to say I'm sorry, I can't." No sympathy games today, Liz. You don't sleep with Franco and be a princess right after. But of course she tries in saying, "I separated from the person that I loved so no, I'm not okay." Frankly, you're not going to get anywhere Liz. And forcing Jason to listen to Franco's sob childhood story is punishing considering that Jason wants nothing to do with him.

"I don't know why we keep doing this because we will never agree." "I want you to understand!" When will she buy a bloody damn clue?

"Sam loves you, when she shouldn't." Who are you to tell people who they should love and not love? Who are you to try and control lives? Jealous witch is all I see. And really, as everyone seems to forget, why did Sam fall in love with Drew to begin with? Because she thought he was Jason. Thank you very much.

But I get it - Liz's deal is Sam shouldn't love Jason while married to Drew - which okay, Sam has admitted herself now. But out of her own jealousy or justify her own decisions, she's trying to make a bigger deal out of Sam's mess. It isn't going to redeem Franco for Jason like she thinks. #GH
"Sam's gone." "What? She's gone?" Don't think that means you have space to dig your claws.

"Don't you go telling me that I need to find myself." "I didn't say anything." Bitch tries to make it about her, again. Good try, Liz.

--------------

"I'm an anigma. Aren't I fascinating?" "I'm a ticking time bomb." Franco is dropping some great truth bombs today.

General Hospital - April 2, 2018 Episode Reflections

So General Hospital was pretty good on Monday. There were more chapters written to different stories as we dive closer with more reasons for the #JaSamReunion2018.

I've always liked the chemistry between Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson. We know they have fun doing their shows, and it carries over when they're playing Jason and Spinelli. That said, their scenes on Monday were gold.

"If you return Drew's memory, she'll feel more obligated to follow her heart." "You're going through a lot of trouble for something that already happened." "What happened?" "Same and Drew broke up." Still love how Spinelli will do whatever it takes. And even though we don't necessarily need Drew's memory and all that, I want the contents of that safe so that way we can be done with all this Faison mess and then when #jasam reunite, they can truly move forward with their lives.

So Jason continues dropping truth bombs as he's right in saying, "For the first time since I came back, it feels like she's making her own decisions, following her own instincts. She's starting to trust herself again."  This was why he stood back all this time because he knew it wasn't really Sam, but rather forced. He knows his girl.

Of course like everyone else, Spinelli is pushing for a future when Sam returns but like always, Jason sticks to his word in saying, "That's for Sam to figure out." Even if it breaks his heart, he's willing to do what it takes for her. Gosh, I just love this man totally and completely. But we know her decision.

So when Spinelli said, "I'll be fine. If we succeed, we'll have what we want. If I fail, my contingency plan could not be in better hands," my first thought was hotel room. I mean.....

-----------

As I expected, Drew didn't take the Sam going away party as well as Jason did. I mean, his first question in hearing both kids are going with her is, "What I am going to ask is Jason going with you?" Drew clearly doesn't listen to a word that Sam says because she said "time to herself" meaning herself alone, not with either man.

Really, this was supposed to be about time away to find herself and see whom she wanted to be with - even though that answer is obvious if you ask me. But now it's even double obvious given Drew's actions because his Drew's comment shows his faith in their future together. He already knows the truth that she's going to choose Jason in the end anyway by assuming their running off together. So if you have a guy believing that, then I guess we know what's to come next.

Anyways, of course Sam gives him the respect of explaining again in telling him, "The whole point is to have some time alone and figure things out..." In reality, Sam shouldn't give him the courtesy of explaining it again, especially if he's wiling to throw everything they have away so simply.

But as always, Drew can't buy a clue because then he goes, "There's a lot we need to discuss when you do get back home. I don't know if this is too soon or inappropriate, but we need to figure out the best way to divy up everything."  I mean, how about you just come out and say I want a divorce now?

Secondly, what assets does Drew have? He came into the marriage with nothing. He got Aurora with Jason's money. He's living in Jason's penthouse. He's driving Sam's car, using his money for whatever. Pretty sure everything belongs to Jason and Sam. But hey, if it gets rid of Drew, let's just give Aurora so he has something to consume his time with and be busy doing. I mean, besides, it's not a Sam thing if you think about it.

......Although - Sam owning a media company while Jason is in the mob could be interesting. It would help in trying to control the narrative when shit hits the fan at times. But then cue the PR shits that says they're spinning the story and create extra attention. 

"I haven't even thought about it. The custody of Scout-" "I wouldn't ever want to fight." "I don't want too." Well that's good of course. So I guess all Drew cares about is the money since that's the only thing he wants to "divy" up, right?

Least Drew recognizes "that apartment is yours and everything in it" but oh Sam in saying, "but this company - it is ours." It was formed using your money, Sam. And what work has Drew done while at Aurora besides sit and mope behind a desk? It seems Peter has done all the work IMO

Also, we know that Jason gave the company to Sam per the divorce proceedings - so she should sole rights to it, right? But really, Sam would have choice then to put her sole name, or put it both the names of her and Drew. You also had Alexis saying, "Drew and Sam built Aurora..." during those proceedings, as well. Continuing to console him, she probably put both their names on it. I wonder if she regrets that now.

And yes, I know that Drew doesn't deserve anything, but if you're rich as ever and don't give a crap about money, would you just do it to pay off his ass so he leaves you alone? That may be theory here. It'd also clear up the last bit of guilt that Sam may feel (unrightfully so) for the situation.

I felt so bad for Sam when she pleaded, “Do we have to do this now? I just don’t trust myself to make decisions like that now….”  Continuing to try and guilt trip her into uncomfortable situations. Great husband, huh? Oh well, onward to the future we go.... That said, anybody see how quickly she brushed off the tears after leaving his office?

-----------

So Griffin is on my latest people to strangle after his simple line of, "Jason Morgan - from everything that I've heard about him, he's a killer." Thankfully, Anna came to his defense in saying, "He's selective about his targets..." Precisely why we can always like the guy because the targets he chooses, let's face it - they deserve it so they can stop hurting others.

Surprisingly that Griffin assumes the worst in Jason after helping him in Russia and hearing that from Anna by asking, "Are you going to be able to stand aside and let Jason kill Heinreck?" Who says Jason is going to kill Heinreck? That's an immediate thought considering Heinreck kept him alive, Griffin. I mean, that's something to be determined once we find out Heinreck's motives.

That laughter grew in Griffin then saying, "Jason's goals and methods are different than yours. Couldn't you work with someone you trust?" Jason is one of the mos hardworking, honest, problem solving people - hence why Anna went to him. She probably wouldn't be this far without his help if we're honest. And while Jason's goals are different, he has been honest with Anna about his feelings towards Heinreck and plans. That should say something too, right?  We all want the truth and the reveal to happen. Shouldn't that be the focus rather than these pittty things?

Furthermore, how can Griffin stand there before Anna and defend Heinreck when he knows that the little shit is hiding under their noses as Peter? I wish he'd just hand over the DNA results - that'd end Anna's work with Jason, too.

So I laughed when Peter said to Lulu, "I promise I will do whatever I can for you." Really, this is a perfect way for him to watch and make sure that he isn't exposed. I mean, he already tried to throw her off by asking, "Are you sure you want to do this? This could destroy any chance you have a reconciling with Maxie."

But really, Lulu was right in saying, "Maxie deserves the chance to face Heinreck and get answers as he's part of the only reason Faison came to town." Of course, Peter almost shot himself in foot by saying, "You're making a lot of assumptions." He's really risking the chance of exposing himself.

Peter's defense was even worse in offering, "The truth is nobody knows much about this man. You can't choose your parents. What if Heinreck is only guilty of being Caesar Faison's son?"  Then why haven't you just come out and revealed who you are? With that in mind, I hope Lulu doesn't follow his advice of "keep me in the loop. If you find out something, I want to hear about it." I mean, we know he'll use it to cover his tracks so nobody discovers the secret.

I rolled my eyes when Maxie said, "She doesn't need to protect me from you. You're just trying to be my friend."  While hiding the fact that you're my brother-in-law and other son to the man that I want to kill? Seems legit.

"How can a guy be in town this long and all we know is what he does? My vulnerable sister-in-law is leaning on this guy a little too hard..." "If Maxie says this guy is helping her." "I don't know. Sometimes the pain is delayed." Poor Maxie with the secret - but at least Nina recognizes this. 

So Lulu is trying to do her work - but yet still involved, It's interesting in hearing her say, "I'm trying to unmask him so someone else can catch him." While allowing someone else to do the second half, you're still involved via your leads with the clues so why not go all the way?

"I didn't know the Severed Branch was ready for print." "This is an advance copy. I just borrowed it from Peter August." Notice how Jason's brow twitched in hearing the name? Peter, oh Jason is coming from you....

"It would really help me to see the real ending myself." "Be my guest." Thank you, Lulu. I really want to see Jason's reaction to the ending now.

So my head spun when Alexis said, "I'll try and make these disappear - if you make our fake relationship disappear." Didn't you want that relationship, Alexis?

Of course it got better when Alexis said, "I would rather be honest with Julian, then him realize that I've been playing him." Because of course, making sure that Julian feels best about you is important even if we're over, right?

"Is Finn available?" "Don't you think you should ask Finn?" "No, I'm asking you. Is Finn available?" Alexis is making this more complicated than it needs to be.
