skates like Helen Keller on roller skates on a flatbed truck driven by Stevie Wonder ain't no way in hell. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome and welcome back to so floor, the official gathering place for newbies, novices and odcom fans of the golden age of prime time. I'm your host, jeb ewing, reviewing this joke. This does. It's primetime storyline of 1980. So, whether you're new to this or true to this, sit back and enjoy. Tell the kids to play outside or outside. Tell Dave. No questions, suggestions or concerns. The minute is 25 to 35 minutes, everyone else in earshot. Feel quiet or kicked out of your own options, because we have got to drone through this middle of the season of the cult of Dino. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this is Soapboard. Hello, gorgeous, welcome back to another exciting edition of Soapboard. We're back in the Monohai city checking in on the Carrington Colby plan and all of their slow-paced shenanigans. Let me shake it all off. Let me just be really real here for a second. It ain't always pedal to the metal, it ain't always gonna be this, just bombs bursting and airtight situation. These episodes were not bad. I decided today I was gonna go ahead and watch two in a row of Dynasty so that we can plow through. We're entering into the parts of the series where the seasons are longer and I don't want to draw along for too long, so I'm going to trust Dynasty to do what they do. They are showing up gorgeous, they're looking fantastic, but we are definitely on the slow burn bend just a little bit. Still, some excitement, some excitement. As I've stated before, I really do think season four and season three are all about those bit players. Adam and Kirby are. Their backs must be extremely sore. Kirby's pregnant, so you know she's already irritated, but they're kind of carrying this episode. Alexis is revving up. She gives us a few jewels of inspiration and advice and for the first time on Soap Lore probably not probably like the third time there is a color of the episode. We're going to turn into Sesame Street today, so go ahead and pour yourself up something bubbly and bright. I'm going to turn into Sesame Street today, so go ahead and pour yourself up something bubbly and bright. I'm going to see how fast I can get through this.

Speaker 1: 2:29

Let's dive into season four, episode 13 of Dynasty, the Ring. Oh my gosh, I just weirded myself out a little bit with that creepy laugh. The Ring you remember that movie I was thinking ring of fire, the lord of the rings, but then I remember the movie the ring. Horror is not my genre. I know I wax poetic about scream. That's a whole different beast. Oh my god, I love that movie. But I went home after I watched scream and had very pleasant dreams about Billy Loomis's murdering arse. But when I saw the ring or I'm not even sure I've actually sat all the way through it I like it.

Speaker 1: 3:06

I didn't have time for that and I do believe I still owned a VHS at that time. So yeah, wasn't that weird transition where people had the DVD players with the VHS on it, so hard to find now. But if you run across one, remember you can always go to your local library if you're here in the US I don't know how it works in other parts of the world and you can still rent movies like it's Blockbuster. I totally forgot that was still an option. But if you want to catch up on any of these old soap operas, I'm betting money they are there. Just found them at my local one.

Speaker 1: 3:37

Do yourself a favor and go peek in Now. I know I just told you to watch these and then I also told you that this episode droned on? It's just that sometimes you got to go through these slow, painful things. I guess, what do you do? What do you call it? Fundamentals? You got to go through the reps. There has to be an obligatory breakup. There has to be an obligatory makeup Seems like you got to have a wedding or a birth every single season and Dynasty is just doing their due diligence. They've already had a shotgun wedding. I believe it was at the beginning of this season or the end of last season. There's two, three babies on the way. You know what I mean. It's too much. So they're gonna get big to this love story and sigh, sigh. Y'all know how I feel about Blake and Crystal, but let me do my job here.

Speaker 1: 4:27

Blake and Crystal are enjoying a fabulous time in Rio de Janeiro, all on the filibuster's bill. He has a hotel down there. His staff is gorgeous. They come showing up in the chartreuse. Chartreuse is one of my favorite colors. I just don't see it enough. Chartreuse is not the color of this episode. But just know that the guest services crew. They show up with music, they show up with fresh fruit. I don't know what you would call him. He's not the majordomo, is it the same thing in a hotel? I don't really know who he is, but his name is Joaquin, and Joaquin assures the freshly newly reweds that anything they need anything at all, they just reach out to him.

Speaker 1: 5:12

Now they're swimming in this gorgeous villa. It has its own private pool and the long and short of it is oh, aren't you so happy we're in love again. Kiss, kiss, let's get wet. Kiss, kiss, let's put on fine clothing and walk through this very uninsulated living room. Clink, clink, blah, blah, blah. They swim. I'm assuming they do Rio de Janeiro things. Then they come back dressed to the nines, and it just reminded me of what you look like at Thanksgiving. Some people have adopted the sweatpants like the casual thing at Thanksgiving. Some people still feel the needpants like the casual thing at Thanksgiving. Some people still feel the need to dress to the nines and sit around their grandmama's kitchen. That's what Crystal and Blake are doing. They are dressed to the nines.

Speaker 1: 5:54

Crystal comes into the room saying oh my gosh, you're such a good tangoer. Let me tell you something. You should never judge a book by its cover, but sometimes, when you get to be a grown woman like myself, look, I'm judging. I'm gonna tell you something right now? If I don't know nothing else, I know that Blake Carrington tangles like Helen Keller in roller skates. Like Helen Keller on roller skates on a flatbed truck driven by Stevie Wonder. Ain't no way in hell you can tell me this man has any rhythm whatsoever, and I know that's for a fact.

Speaker 1: 6:29

Now, that was my premonition, that was my thought, as she said that they then begin slow dancing in the living room, and I couldn't even hear the dialogue over the internal counting in their head. It's one, two, three, one, two, three, sway, sway, pause, sway, sway. I know he's a terrible dancer because they don't even talk in the shifting of feet. So if they're one, two, three, you're so lovely. One, two, three, thank you Crystal. One, two, three. I want a baby Music, stops Blake's, like what are you? Three? I want a baby Music, stops Blake's like what are you talking about? I want a baby.

Speaker 1: 7:08

Crystal's telling him dude, I'd like to try again. We're reconnected again. I really want us to have something that comes from us, not to say that the other children are not going to be loved, as if they are biologically birthed from her. All she's saying is I want to give it another try. All she's saying is I want to give it another try. And here we go with Blake being obtuse again. And I realized on this episode why I just never buy their whole lovey-dovey relationship. There is really no real intimacy here.

Speaker 1: 7:35

I would say Crystal has had much deeper conversations with almost every not that Dynasty gets deep, but she's had deeper conversations with almost everybody on the show except for him. They might talk slowly and reminisce about how they met and why their affections are so pure and everlasting. But when she says, sir, I really want something that comes from the love we make, he's like well, don't even worry, there's like three kids crawling around. Well, it'll be three soon. Kirby's about to have a baby and we can treat that one like our own. Sir, you're not hearing what she said. That's not what she said, but never mind that. Let Blake be Blake, because the rest of the crew or the family, if you will is on pause during this whole honeymoon situation. Not that it's a problem, but Dynasty does a lot of telling us versus showing us, which is where we get the whole cleanup on aisle one, two, three or four. I haven't really noticed any cleanup on aisle fours this season, maybe one or two, but they're often telling you what's going on versus showing you what's going on. So, back at the house, kirby and jeff are still trying to figure out when 's a good time to announce to the house that they're going to get a divorce Granted. This is going to look odd because they had such a quick little shotgun wedding. There's been a lot of things happening. Crystal left, grew back, joseph died, kirby became pregnant she and Jeff. You know what I'm saying. It's a lot. So I can understand that announcing this sudden divorce would seem a little bit out of the blue, but it would also kind of track with the rest of their actions. Kirby is also increasingly irritated because she's suffering from some sort of discomfort. She's not really saying what it is, she's just sort of sweating through it and nobody in the home is perceptive enough to notice that she's kind of struggling. So there she's sitting at breakfast trying to be notice that she's kind of struggling. So there she's sitting at breakfast trying to be cute. She's kind of pissed off, as any pregnant woman would be. She's like Jeff, did you talk to Andrew about our divorce? He goes no, I didn't talk to him about the divorce. We're at a wedding. You can't talk about divorce at a wedding. Please have Jeff. I'm not even gonna get into that right now. She goes. Well, get on it. I'm ready to get this done. I don't understand the attitude he has towards her. I just don't. But he assures her that it's going to happen. However, this is where Dynasty does another one of those. I'm going to tell you versus. Show you Everything, and I do mean everything. All storylines are on hold until Blake and Crystal come back from this honeymoon. How long are they gone? They're gone for two weeks. I get that. They are the quote-unquote center of the story. However, it's very clear to anyone watching by this point. The real stars of the show are those hyphenated ladies. You know what I'm saying. Claudia is making a little bit more of a storm. I'm going to include Fallon for the sake of this episode. Fine, she's making a little noise, but Kirby is carrying this. Come on now. One more thing about Jeffrey. There's only so much crap you can take from a man wearing penny loafers and a sweater set. I need him to tone down some of that attitude and do the job she asked you to do. Call Andrew, let's get this thing sliced and diced. He's suddenly wanting to drag his feet a little bit. Their relationship too. We already knew this was kind of a just. You know it's one-sided, but the kid is giving me whiplash Meanwhile in Alexis's fantastic world and in her penthouse. It has come to my attention that this season Mark is a little bit of a dud. He is a useless stud with an incredible mustache. He has that going for him but not much else. I suppose it's because nobody seems to be threatening Alexis at the moment Not really at least. So Mark is doing nothing, you know, being tall and dark and handsome with a mustache and just kind of staring in his face when Dex Dexter comes through. Now Dex is still on, when he's still upset that he thinks Alexis is about to fly down to Rio de Janeiro and interrupt the honeymoon of Crystal and Blake. It's not that he cares about their honeymoon, he doesn't want his quote-unquote woman running all over the globe chasing her ex. That didn't sit well with him. I mean his turquoise loving spirit. Dax Dexter comes bursting into the apartment and he demands to know where Alexis is. He and Mark get into a little scuffle and it is very interestingly choreographed. Do you ever see that movie? Center State Came out like late 90s, early 2001-ish. That Peter I think that guy's name is Peter Gallagher with the eyebrows the real dark eyebrows, light eyes. He's in it and Zoe Zaldana is in it. And this is. It's about these ballerinas at this school in New York. I love that movie. Acting is what it York. I love that movie. Acting is what it is. I'm not a ballerina expert. I seemed pretty authentic. I kind of questioned Zoe, but it, I mean it looked good. Whoever edited the film did really well. It is. I mean, you have to watch it just to enjoy it. Sometimes you just got to sit back and let a movie be what it is. And at the end of this film, the whole thing is that there's this bright eyed little girl from somewhere in the Midwest typical, you know. She shows up with these big dreams in New York and she's a she was a big fish in a little pond wherever she's from and when she gets to New York is the real deal, holy filth. So by the end of the film she's kind of fallen in love with a bad boy ballet and he's convinced her that he's going to have this his own production, blah, blah, blah. And they have, of course, they have this whole senior project that they have to do in front of everybody and if they do well they'll get picked to be in another ballet company. The final act they're doing this whole song and dance and she has this really awesome reveal. It's one of my favorite scenes ever in a movie, but the fighting in in their particular section of the of the show reminds me of this fight on Dynasty kind of makes me believe that Dex Dexter might be a ballet dancer or just a dancer of some sort. He has the most I mean pristine posture. He is long and lean. He says chest is kind of open, as if he's ready for the swan. Lake girl told you I don't know about lake as of you about trap music dancing. I know a little bit more about that. Alexis comes around the corner. She puts a stop to all this fighting and he's like I can't let you, can't let you go down there and interfere with their honeymoon. How dare you? She goes cool, get on the phone, you can cancel my plane for me. So he goes to cancel the plane, but it's already been canceled and she says Dexter, I need you to know something, baby. I make and I cancel my own reservations. I run my life. Okay, I run my life. Okay, I run things. Things don't run me, dex, dexter, don't run me. Beautiful lesson. You can tell he's a little bit turned on by the fact that she's like Ooh, I'm a grown woman, I do what I want. He's like man, she is a grown woman. So he decides he needs to take a little bit of time. He takes two weeks to meditate. He doesn't meditate in a spa because he's not a brokie. He flies halfway across the world and he takes some time in Egypt and he just breathes it in and eventually, when he comes back, he talks to Alexis and he says you know what I wanted to think about my life, my past, my present and my future. Who's going to be in that with me? I want it to be you, baby. I want it to be all you. Now it is worth mentioning that it is time to present the color of this episode. The color of this episode is cobalt blue. Alexis is wearing cobalt blue in many textures and sheens. She's got on these kind of lame boots. She's got the long pleated skirt. She's got the silk blouse with the silk stripe paneling. She's giving blue all day, every day. I am royal, I am regal, I am tranquil. I ain't worried about a thing, baby. So it's only right that a woman this confident is adorned with the finest emeralds money can buy. He adorns her with this gorgeous emerald necklace as best I can tell, I'm still learning my diamonds and she walks over. At first she's giving him attitude like what are you doing here? I ain't seen you in two weeks. That's real cute. Kind of bored. I have things to do. As soon as he pulls out that jewelry, she's like oh, you have my undivided attention. She goes over to the mirror as he's telling her how fly and wonderful she is. She looks in it and then she allows him to disrobe her. I'm like wow, okay, insight there. If you want to talk to Alexis, you need to bring diamonds and pearls. Not pearls, because pearls are semi precious, right, she only does precious jewels. Another queen in Cobalt this episode is Tracy. Another queen in Cobalt this episode is Tracy. I'm not mad at the way Tracy is slowly turning up the fire. She's slowly showing her cards, not all at once. She's building a like a solid. What do you call it? It's not really an alibi if you're doing everything in front of people, right, what would you call that it is, I don't know what it is. It's good marketing, it's good masterminding, I suppose so, because Crystal and Blake are on their honeymoon. That leaves Tracy in charge. Tracy is not really answering to any of the other help. Quote unquote Crystal's secretary wants to know why she wants to have a meeting in Crystal's office. She's like I'm representing the company, I'm going to have it in there, period. Crystal said I'm in charge Period. So she's wearing this bright cobalt blue outfit and she's feeling tranquil, calm, cool and collected as well, and she saunters right into the super secret file room. The super secret file room has a key, so she simply unlocks it. She, the file room has a key, so she simply unlocks it. She starts unlocking the super secret file cabinets when lawyer Andrew shows up. I'm like hey, andrew. It's like hey, jet, what the heck is Tracy doing in here? I really don't know, andrew. Let's ask her. He says Tracy, now why would you need to be going through the files? I don't know that the PR team needs to go through files. She gives him that sort of you silly goose, like she says. You know well, pr often handles very super secret things. So I'm just keeping myself abreast to the latest development. It is what it is. And then she walks out. Answer to who? She barely answers to Crystal, and this is an interesting take, because she is leaps and bounds more qualified than Crystal. Not to say that Crystal can't catch up at some point, but it is a little bit absurd to believe that Crystal is laying out these wonderful plans for marketing and for PR in a position she's absolutely never been in A public position, she's never been in. Tracy is simply taking up space. I think that's the best way to put it. She's not necessarily being sneaky, she's being very out in the open with it. She's not necessarily lying, she's just asking for stuff. And if you give it to her, cool. She did tell Crystal I'm gonna need the credit card and the keys to that room just in case something pops off. Because of my experience back in my day when I was doing this job before you in New York yeah, things would happen. And the last thing I want to do is track you down in Bermuda or wherever the heck you're going. And Crystal's like yeah, I mean, you're right, you're right. What can she say? Whatever she's saying, she's saying it in a bright cobalt blue outfit. She looks killer. So Crystal comes back from Rio de Janeiro. Time for geography lesson. Ladies and gentlemen, rio de Janeiro is in South America. It is south of the equator. Unless you were in Antarctica, I can't think of many South American countries or any country that reside lower than the equator. Hell, texas is above the equator and I can't think of many times people walk around in fur coats. But she comes back completely draped as if she came from the Swiss Alps, in cobalt blue, because she is tranquil, she is relaxed. She is Mrs Crystal Carrington in cobalt blue, ready to take the throne again, and they're met at the airport, she and Blake, by Peter and Fallon. The next episode is a little bit more about Peter DeVille Buster a little bit, but he is sprinkled within this, not really much going on. So he sent over this kid, ernesto, from Rio de Janeiro, and Ernesto is him. He is the designer of all designers, humble, you can tell. He takes pride in his work and he is absolutely just razzle, dazzle, valid with his design. So they're really eager to start the annex for La Mirage and she notices that it's a little bit pricey, but she's not worried because she knew she was going to talk to her dad once he got back from Rio de Janeiro and Ernesto was like I'm really happy, really proud, to jump on this. Unfortunately I won't be able to like stay in the states and work on it. I have other things to handle. But it's been wonderful working with like really great guy. So you can imagine my surprise later in the episode where he comes boom, boom, boom, boom. He's beating on the door at a hotel. He bursts in and Peter's do dirt lawyer is there. His name escapes me at the moment. It's not important, let's call him eyebrows lawyer. So eyebrows lawyer is like what do you want, ernesto? Ernesto's like yo. There's people downstairs looking for Peter. I'm looking for Peter. Where's the rest of my money? Eyebrows lawyer is like why don't you relax? Didn't you already get a million? He's like I did, but my price is definitely two million, double that, my guy. And where is Peter? I don't want to talk to you. Eyebrows, where's Peter? Eyebrows is clearly hopped up on something he he's like when Peter's not here, he gives me power to speak for him. You'll get the rest of your money. Ernesto looks very he's a little bit worried, like he knows. Oh God, we already kind of word on the streets that he ain't really got it like that. He ain't really got the money, but eyebrows assures him in the most coked out way that somebody just bought a horse, like the money's coming in. Go tell your people downstairs who are trying to break your legs. Go tell them that we're quote about to strike oil. And Ernesto's looking like oh, I mean okay, well, I guess, which ways do I have? I'll go see what they say Later on. At the hotel, adam stops by to chat with Fallon. This is actually this is. Things are a little bit out of sequence, but it doesn't matter. Adam stops by the hotel, I think, as Ernesto was leaving, and he says to Fallon he's looking over the plans and he's they have the most brother-sister conversation ever. And he's basically like wow, are you really going to build this thing? She's like yeah, because it's my hotel. Adam, what do, what do you want? So Adam, being the big brother, is well, you know, dad left me in charge of the real estate portion of the company, so it's up to me. If we get to build, I'll tell daddy, oh well. Then he's like did you really count the cost of this girl? This is, this is outrageous. You really think dad's going to say yes to all this riffraff. She's like don't you talk to me about that, I'll talk to my dad myself. That's pretty much it. So it's good to know that, although the villabuster is not really the Peter is not. He's sort of staying below the radar. He's kind of known for having flashy taste, but no one seems to know that he's in a little bit of trouble. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it. He's still not blinking, he's still having cocaine whenever he wants and he keeps taking her on these flying lessons. Kirby wants the divorce to be over as soon as possible. Andrew finally gets around to bringing the papers to her and she's starting to sweat a little bit more. She's becoming increasingly irritable. She reminds me of what like when you have cramps and someone wants to explain something really dumb to you like oh yeah, we use pens to sign paperwork like shut up what. Just give me the paper so I can leave. That's how she's feeling and andrew's. You know, are you really sure about this? Is this the right thing? She's like, andrew, if you don't quit playing with me, and she gets a little dizzy, she starts holding her eye, covering one eye. Clearly this is a pregnant woman who is sweating profusely all the time she is walking around looking like Wednesday. Adam had a maternity line I didn't know about. I kind of love it, kind of hate it, but she looks like the original Christina Ricci. Let me correct myself. Let me correct myself. I know the Addams family is circa what late 50s, 60s, but I'm talking about the Addams family movies with um, raul, julia and Angelica Houston and, of course, the incomparable Christina Ricci as Wednesday. Addams love the new Wednesday, but I love me some Christina Ricci. But she looks. I mean, she's got that big bow on, she's wearing like this pleated gray and black maternity dress. It's cute, but she looks very depressed as a pregnant woman. Anyway, she starts wooing and wooing and, oh my god, I feel dizzy, I feel sick. Shut up, andrew, I'm signing these papers and I'm out by episodes in. Crystal is back, of course, she's in her bedroom. Crystal is in coral, this fabulous just gown, I guess walking around the house gown, and one of the maids comes upstairs and she's like oh my god, miss kirby, there's something wrong with her. Could you come and help miss kirby? So crystal runs downstairs and kirby's fingers are swollen. She can't get her wedding ring off and it has caused such a hubble blue, that Crystal being the lady of the house, I guess nobody's gonna make any moves without her. Crystal says hey, go get what's his face. That hottie who works at the horse stalls, go get him. Tell him to bring some gold cutting tools. I was annoyed. I'm like what happened to you, colby? You couldn't buy Kirby a real ring. I know it's just her wedding band and I'm sure she had a Zha Zha ring, but it escapes me at the moment. Anyway, her finger is, quote-unquote, swollen. So Hottie, who is supposed to be wearing a shirt, he's wearing a shirt this time. He comes in and he's working on the ring and the maids are all surrounding her Crystal and Coral surrounding Kirby and they go slice, slice, slice. Eventually they cut the ring off. Then they the camera pans in on kirby's hands and she goes my fingers, they're swollen, they're clearly a man's hand. I felt a little bit of a way, because you know so I like, if you've been getting your nails done for a long time, you take them off. You're just like what are these? They're normal hands. They clearly got a middle-aged man and he's like hey, if you're a little bit, we need someone. Chubbier, please put your hands out here. Oh, my god, my hands, my hands. We gotta come up with a phrase for that. The dynasty, double dynasty, does not give a damn about a stunt double. I said that a couple episodes back. They don't care. I thought for sure they were going to like have some weird sort of prosthetic on her finger. I was actually looking forward to that. When the maid ran upstairs to tell Crystal about her finger, I was expecting some sort of grotesque you know silicone apparatus to make it look really good. Nah, I'm just like, hey, where's that chubby guy from lighting? Bring him in here. Go ahead, take a picture of his hands. Okay, last little bit. You know how all of these babies are rich. That means rich babies have kind of round the clock care and their parents or step parents kind of jump in when they can. So baby Danny, who we don't hear a lot of fuss about, not really. I mean, we hear his name but you don't really see him do anything. Wild Baby Danny is at his daily park appointment and for whatever reason Claudia has time that morning she decides to stop by and she's chatting with Danny's nanny and this gentleman comes by and he's like hi, danny, good to see you this morning. And Claudia doesn't think anything of it, but the nanny is looking like I don't like this. So as he walks off, she's like man, this dude is, I don't like it, I don't like it. Claudia's like what is there not to like? She goes. I don't know why he greets Danny by name every single morning. I just I don't like. It's not sitting well with me and Claudia's like oh, it's no big deal. He probably just heard you say it and I was thinking, uh, maybe, maybe not. I doubt it. He'd have to be awfully close. And that's the nanny's point. He's always lingering, look at him. He's looking back at it. It's a whole thing. Later on in the episode, claudia's at work and she gets a call and it's the nanny. She's like yo, you remember that weirdo I was telling you about? He was just outside. He was like looking up at the apartment. Then he went over and made a call. It was really weird. I'm telling you in my spirit. I don't feel right about it. So Claudia rushes home and the nanny tells her the whole spiel again like no, he was just. He was just standing there staring up at the building and Claudia goes. Well, I get that that's uncomfortable, but he could have been looking at anything. Maybe he lives in the neighborhood, maybe that's why you see him, so you know what I mean. He maybe he works close by. It's not out of the realm of possibility. Now Nanny is like then why was he staring up at the building like that? If he lives here, if he's so familiar with, why would he just be staring at the window like looking at me? And Claudia's got a point. Now here's my thing. These are both valid arguments and you don't just go willy-nilly calling the cops on random people. You can't just do that. Plus, claudia is coming from a spot where she has been in the loony bin one, couple, two times and she likes to make sure. That's my impression. Claudia the stallion wants to make certain that she is saying the right things at the right time. That's my impression. Claudia DeSalle wants to make certain that she is saying the right things at the right time. That's why she talks in that measured form. I'm assuming she talks very measuredly. She thinks very thoughtfully about everything she's going to say, and so she. She thinks about it for a little bit and she ends up calling Blake, like let me just get a third opinion. Blake's like absolutely y'all need to come over to the house. Y'all need to just or actually I think she comes. She goes to the house, to the mansion, and then she calls Blake and he comes home straight away. He's like no, you absolutely did the right thing. This is you know. You guys, don't feel like you're being put out or anything. I want y'all to be here. There's so much security, like you, don't have to worry about it. If someone's watching him, they're not gonna get him in here, never mind the fact that baby blake was kidnapped. Right, am I right? Am I right? I thought that was a season three opener. Maybe I'm wrong when I tell you. Alexis is so pissed off by this news. I don't even know how she finds out, but she puts back on her cobalt outfit and she storms into claudia's office to cuss her out. How dare you, how dare you take my grandbaby and put him over with that psycho Blake? Claudia's like girl, you cannot be serious. Would you rather him get snatched up like Blake? She's like well, no, but I can't stand you. I don't know what she says. She throws a fit. I was just so impressed that every piece of her outfit matched, even though it was like a different texture. So that's pretty much it for that episode. It looks like we are stacking up a few stories or something going on with Peter Piper. They're mentioning Steven's birthday, but I mean, I don't really care. That's going to be such a small storyline it has to be. But maybe Danny is on notice. Somebody knows who he is. It's got to be Sammy Jo at this point. We haven't seen Sammy Jo in a minute. And Kirby I mean the clock is also ticking for her in this pregnancy. If she don't get on top of it then I remember she doesn't really want the baby. So we'll see. All right, right party people. That's it, that's all.
