Welcome Back Soap Fiends!!! Buckle in because this is going to be a bumpy, and nostalgic emotional ride!!

The revelation that he's been secretly watching over her, even financially supporting her from the shadows, creates a moment of pure emotional catharsis rarely captured even in Dallas's heightened reality.<br><br>What follows is a masterclass in heartbreak. Despite Dusty's physical limitations and his father's overbearing presence, Sue Ellen pledges her unconditional love. "I would take you if you were laying flat on a slab," she declares, revealing just how deeply she's yearned for authentic connection amid her hollow marriage to JR.

Elsewhere, Cliff processes his political disappointment with refreshing authenticity, allowing himself the space to feel genuinely angry about losing yet another opportunity to a Ewing.<br><br>The emotional resonance of "Lover Come Back" demonstrates why Dallas remains television's gold standard for melodrama grounded in human truth. Whether you're discovering the series for the first time or revisiting an old favorite, this episode delivers the perfect blend of shock, tears, and the messy complexity of human relationships that keeps us coming back for more.<br><br>Have you ever wondered how you would handle discovering someone you mourned was actually alive?

Everyone else in the airshot, cool, quiet or kicked out of your only options because we are watching our stories. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this is SoFluid. Hello, gorgeous, welcome or welcome back to another funny video. This is SoFluid. Welcome back to SoFour.

Speaker 1:

We're going to take a look at SoFour. I hope you know that we have an enticing and exciting episode ahead of us on today. Welcome back to SoFour, where we dive deep into the glittering drama of a juicy entanglement of our favorite soap operas. Today we're rewinding the clock to Dallas, season four episodes Lover Come Back. This is an episode that is overflowing with intrigue, hidden passions and dilemmas that can only be brought forth to us by the people on South Fork. Only a Ewing could bring this sort of drama. Before we get too deep into the Ewing drama, I want to tell you a little story about me. Picture this it is the turn of the century, it is very early 2000s.

Speaker 1:

I'm a high school student. I have scored what can only be described as locker nirvana. Thanks to the merciful deities of alphabetical order, I was presented with a golden goose, a locker on the first floor. This was prime real estate on the first floor, I cannot stress that enough. A hub of hallway action, the envy of every other student with less than optimal locker locations. Being the enterprising young lady that I was, I decided I was going to turn my high traffic locker into a retainable gold mine, if you will. Payments came left and right, far and near. I was receiving payments in the form of Bubblicious Cotton Candy Gum, which was my favorite, or pizza lunches. And let me tell you, baby boy, baby girl, I was thriving. Then, one day, out of nowhere, the unexpected happened. Among the various items stuffed into my bustling locker, I began to notice little love notes. At first I didn't really think anything of it. I thought maybe it was one of my tenants receiving love notes here and there. So I just went about my day. But alas, on one sweet day, after I'd spoken about it in a couple classes, I received confirmation that the love letters weren't for anyone else. They were for me.

Speaker 1:

Now here's where my teenage saga mirrors Sue Ellen's drama on this episode of Dallas. Now both of us are confronted with the enigmatic pull of an anonymous sweetheart. It's flattering. I don't care who you are. It's flattering to know that you have an admirer. But both Sue Ellen and I are torn between curiosity and the intrigue of it all. So on this episode I want you to sit tight, go ahead and grab yourself something bubbly bright, or take it back to an OG high school beverage. Mine was bubbled milk. I'm not embarrassed about that.

Speaker 1:

As we unravel the parallels between my teenage locker, mystery love and the tangled web of romance and betrayal in Lover, come Back, listen. I know what you're thinking, jet. Why would you flatter yourself? I'm not flattering myself. This is the thing. Human beings are walking among other human beings. I have people watch on more occasions than I could have ever imagined. If I really sit and think about it, from the time I was a little kid up until now, I still people watch. If I'm at the doctor's office or I'm at a grocery stand, I'm just kind of watching people do what they do. Never, ever ever, have I pursued that any further than that. So when you are in a situation where you realize that someone is watching your day-to-day responses, it is alarming, even if it's not dangerous. Please note the distinction, understanding that, oh my gosh, the day-to-day things I do are being watched by someone, just like I watch a television program. It's a little bit alarming.

Speaker 1:

Now, this episode, y'all, baby, I'm flabbergasted, gassed and flabbered. I don't know what to say. It is very interesting and I'm debating on whether or not I should even tell you about anything else that goes on this episode, because this is so good. Pour yourself off something bubbly and bright. To my shock, awe and surprise, I just found a can of my mojito in the refrigerator. I'm debating on if I'm going to watch it tonight or if I'm going to wait for another episode. I don't really know. But let's jump in to this. I've been saying episode 17. This is episode 16. I realize I've been neglectful with Dallas. Don't even trip, we're gonna make it all up in the next few days, lover, come back. So at the top of the episode. We are where we were at the end of episode 15. Suelen is at the top of the episode. We are where we were at the end of episode 15.

Speaker 1:

Sue Ellen is at the home in front of this mansion. She sees this mystery dude in a 1981 limousine. Let's be very clear. Note the distinction. That means it is at least 14 feet longer than the standard limousine that we see today. And she's like I know, that ain't who I think it is. So she jumps out the car, she runs up to the house. She's like hey, who lives here?

Speaker 1:

Whoever service this is, his maid is like I don't know what you're talking about, no one. So I was like please quit playing in my face. Somebody clearly lives here. Who is it? Is it who I think it is? And the lady's like listen, listen, wait, I don't know what. I don't know what you're talking about. Well, I'm gonna wait till he literally lives here. Who is it? Is it who I think it is? And the lady's like listen, listen, wait, I don't know what, I don't know what you're talking about. Well, I'm gonna wait until he comes back. And the maid's like well, good luck, because he ain't gonna be back for several days. And you can't do that. Sue Ellen says watch me. This is the audacity of a wealthy woman. This is the audacity of a woman who was trained to become a wealthy woman.

Speaker 1:

I can't stop thinking about my girl, claudia DeStallion, on Dynasty. She was none the wiser, she just kind of stumbled into this. One day she was having a beautiful life. The next day she wakes up, this wench who's not quite rich but is rich, adjacent and sleeping with her husband. It drives her crazy, et cetera. Nah, nah, nah. Sue Ellen's like nah, nah, nah. My mama put me in pageants from the time I was four years old. I know how to do this. What you will not do is throw me off my game. Whomever lives here has to come back, and you better believe that I will be here each and every day to ensure that I see whom. It is okay. The lady's like I'm just trying to get paid. I dust here and there. Please don't mess up my money, please don't mess up.

Speaker 1:

So one of the moments we don't get to see on this episode in real time is the moment that Cliff finds out that he has been passed over. Now he knew that the committee wanted Donna and that she rejected it. So naturally he's probably thinking he was the next in line, rightfully so. He has earned his keep. But he finds out that Bobby, who was his brother-in-law who he don't necessarily hate, but that's irrelevant because Bobby's last name is Ewing His daddy died in behind the Ewing's. His sister married a Ewing and now he has lost out to an office that should not go to some rando, but it is going to a Ewing. And he feels a way Now I may or may not have expressed this on this podcast that I allow myself to a rational thought a day.

Speaker 1:

I am not one of those people who feels like you need to be like, oh my gosh, you're a great winner, you're this. That's disingenuous. You're not actually dealing with the problem. You are covering with a bandaid and you know what Anything you cover up will eventually wear out. There is wear and tear. It will eventually fester in your soul if you don't actually process it. I'm not for that whole. Let's cover it up with a cute little mandate.

Speaker 1:

And Cliff in this whole scene makes me so happy because he is feeling how he feels Amen. So Pam comes over to comfort Cliff, but he's like you know what I don't care. I am. I'm going to be petty. I want to sit here, I want to get drunk, I want to be mad. I want to be upset about the fact that Bobby Ewing got that role in the office that I really wanted. Everybody is it has their foot on my neck from some things that happened 150,000 years ago. And here I go once again losing to one of these petty loser freaks. I'm gonna feel how I feel. I'm gonna drink this brown liquor and you won't have to feel how you feel. Now Pam tries to pepper this whole situation to bring him back to his senses. I'm assuming you're also forgot that you are paid in the butt. That's irrelevant, because he already said how he said. He's like I'm going to say everything you're going to say to me so that I can feel as bad as I need to feel.

Speaker 1:

Ladies and gentlemen, can I just say I think this is very, very healthy. There is nothing wrong with admitting that you don't like the way that some things have turned out. It is when you pretend that they are kosher and everything is beautiful and this is exactly what you would have wanted, and that you're a good sport. When things start to fester and eventually that's how people go and kill and spreeze. This is how people end up shooting up the post office. I'm just saying you better be real with yourself and allow those feelings to to permeate and do what they need to do, and then you can come back a couple of days later with some good sense. So I am very, very proud of Cliff.

Speaker 1:

Now, matter of fact, he tells Pam how he feels, she tells him how she feels, she leaves. She really didn't do no help. And then he realizes that he's drinking liquor, just like his deadbeat daddy. He pours it off the side of the cliff excuse me, side of the balcony. But he's still mad. He's still in his feelings, as he should be. Am I right, or am I right? This man lost out to an office that he is more than qualified to help, right? This man lost out to an office that he is more than qualified to help.

Speaker 1:

This is the part that I just can't say anything negative. Cliff was sought out by this particular camp, the Culver camp, to basically cultivate an image for stepson Culver. He does just that. He is basically discipling this kid and when push comes to shove, when an opportunity presents itself, you're gonna bypass me. I feel a whole way now. In order to make this episode extra juicy, what clip could do is take all the dirt that he has and spin that to some like cheesy, disgusting, very nasty sort of tabloid. He could do that, but as far as I can tell this episode, he didn't do that. Good for you, cliff. You feel the way. Don't let nobody make you feel bad about feeling the way. Authentic feelings are perfection.

Speaker 1:

So another sort of side note is JR and the whole Asian oil thing, and he brings a cartel in and the most notable thing about this is that they have squeezed a woman into this. This is circa 1981. I've done a little bit of research, and not too much because I don't want anything spoiled. But this was the return, not actually the return. This was the elementary phase of women becoming CFOs, ceos, coos and big companies. So they have squelched this woman in. She was not in the cartel before. I clearly remember there were several men. None of them were young and hot like this woman. So JR invites him into their office in just enough time so that they can hear when his homeboy from the South Pacific calls and says hey, there's been an overthrow. All of the foreign oil leases are going to be returned to their proper country.

Speaker 1:

Now, mind you, leslie is there watching all of this. Miss, I like to record everything and she's already kind of got a feeling that he had something up his sleeve. So the cartel hears the great news and they're like oh my God, jr, so we're rich again, we're even richer than we were before. Yay, yay, yay. The woman who they presented to let's be real, real to appease the audience at the time, there's a lady here, she's wearing a skirt, she's in charge. You know what she does? She immediately kisses jay in the mouth after they hear about the asian oil wells and she basically gives him the sleepy eyes like hey, I want to be next on your list after you lock down this whole Leslie situation. It's, it's disappointing. But that's irrelevant, because the rest of this episode all we're going to talk about is my girl, sue Ellen, and her inspector, gadgetness nem.

Speaker 1:

So my girl Sue Ellen has a hunch. She's like wait a minute, wait a minute can't quite be, but I'll be damned if I drive off and not know for sure. So she drives Mercedes wagon Ewing number four or five, whatever, which is really weird to me because it means she's absolutely very noticeable. But I guess if you don't really care, I would imagine in Dallas there's not a whole lot of traffic at this point. She's doing all this dirt in broad daylight in a fur coat in the flyest car in all of Dallas, but she doesn't care.

Speaker 1:

So she goes back to this mansion. She's waiting for the mystery man to show up because she's like I know, I know that ain't who I think it is. It's impossible. So she goes back to the house and the maid's like listen, he's not here, you need to back up. Back up because it's going to be on. And Sue Ellen is like a foot tall in her. She's not intimidated. She pushes back her because she hears something in the living room. She runs in there and let me tell you I am getting excited. I'm getting excited Because I had no idea this was a possibility. She burst in there. There's a beautiful man who looks like Paul Newman in a wheelchair. He wheels around and she says oh my God, y'all, it's Dusty.

Speaker 1:

Dusty who turned to dust when he slammed into the imaginary mountains in between San Angelo and Dallas. Dusty didn't die. I gotta say I did not see this coming. There was no part of this storyline that led him to believe, led me to believe that this was a possibility. Dusty, dusty is alive and she's like what the dusty? Why didn't you tell me? Now I'm gonna go ahead and point the fingers. They say when you point one finger, there are four pointing back to you. So I'm going to make sure that my hands are stiff as board and they're pointing out. So all 10 of my fingers are going to point towards Dusty.

Speaker 1:

Dusty is the reason she went to that bar cart and started drinking again. Dusty is a whole reason her life fell apart for the 14th time in two seasons. Now, I'm not saying it is solely his part, but his death was a catalyst for her to be like God bless America, I can't do this. And then she had to sit there with a straight face and a broken heart as her sister boned her husband into oblivion and produced a child that we have not seen yet. Dusty is alive.

Speaker 1:

I was shook. I I can't even really talk about it now like what are you serious, dusty, of all the people? So I wondered to myself now why did they bring in Clint? Clint threw me for a loop. I was fully expecting her to just kind of run off and have just random affairs. Really, when she saw Clint, clint was like about to get into this Japanese money, into this Mario Brothers. I was hoping he's going to be like yeah, not only do I run electronics, I actually discovered something called video games. We are about two years out from Mario Brothers. It would be absolutely perfect.

Speaker 1:

That's not what happened and quite frankly I think Clint is a little bit boring. But Dusty, dusty is back from the dead. So, like myself, you're probably thinking well, what happened, jet? What happened? That's what I thought, because I know there's no mountains in between Dallas and San Angelo, texas. But let him tell him what had happened was he had another cow hand in the single engine plane and what had happened was they slammed into this mountain, wink, wink, and the other guy died.

Speaker 1:

Now let Dusty tell it. He was thrown clear. He was thrown on teen feet in these imaginary mountains and he realized that the plane had exploded. So he tried to get up and walk over to help his homeboy who had died on his way to Fort Worth. Only he realized his legs didn't work. So he crawled over the mountain river, deep, mountain high, until he got to a little ranch house. They had a telephone and they called his daddy and his daddy picked him up and they've been keeping it mom's word all the time.

Speaker 1:

Baby boy, listen, as a story lover, as an imaginist, I guess you would call it I listen. However, we gotta get there. We gotta get there. But, baby boy, you gonna tell me you crawl over imaginary mountains. Insult to injury is one thing. You know what I digress. He crawled, he crawled over mountains and he's been flying all over the world trying to get his legs to work, a la Christopher Reed, it's not really happening.

Speaker 1:

And Sue Ellen's like my god, baby boy, I don't think you understand how much I love you. Why didn't you call me? Do you know the hell I've been through after this? I just gave up my whole life, baby, why didn't you call me? And most of you have commented on my sensitivity. It is what it is. I can't help myself. I can't help it. I was like I feel you, sue Ellen, I feel you, it doesn't matter like this is your love, this is the love of her life. Why didn't you call? But he's like I didn't want to show up as a man who wasn't the man you fell in love with.

Speaker 1:

So he has been secretly behind the scenes, trying to help her from afar, trying to be a support system, an imaginary support system, but unfortunately it's like. This is a thing when you're helping out people or when you're just not kind of in their life, in their life for real. For real. He couldn't see the agony that she was truly in. Yes, you're helping bail me out. Yes, you're watching. Yes, you're getting an update day to day. Yes, you're blessing me, but ultimately I am in a situation that I can't get out of. I can't walk for, I am hopeless. So I have to fall into this sort of regimen that is against my best interest, because I don't know any better. I don't think there's anything better out there.

Speaker 1:

She was willing to risk it all. She was willing to date someone she really didn't care about, someone she's already left in the past, just to get some sort of freedom, just to get some sort of dignity in her life. She is humiliated day after day in rhinestones and diamonds and fur, in the hottest place on in the continental us, but all he can see is like I'm just not. He doesn't feel like he's worthy to be with her. She's like baby. I would take you if you, if you were laying flat on a on a slab. I would take you as long as you can breathe and as long as you can look at me, I would take you. Oh, am I hopeless romantic, because I find this to be really endearing. It's so sweet, it's so sweet and it's so real. But you know what? I'm upset, dallas, I was not expecting to shed a tear today, but, lo and behold, there you go.

Speaker 1:

So Sue Ellen is is finally reconnected with someone who really cares about her. He doesn't have a political agenda, although I must say I don't think that Cliff and she's relationship was like this, this farce. I felt like he really, really cared for her. Things got out of hand. It got a little bit bigger than she expected and then things fluttered away. It was not a situation. I don't feel like he was using her. I don't think she was necessarily using him. It just happened to be a situation where they were both gaining something by being together, an extra layer of satisfaction on top of the love that they had for each other. But with this guy, this is totally different. So okay.

Speaker 1:

So the next day, obviously she's not going to stay away, right? She shows up to the house and there is this portly handsome fellow who's like hey, I am steven's dad, so now we know the dusty's government named steven. And he's like I'm not gonna pull any punches with you, I'm not happy about this, I don't like this whole relationship and clearly my son hasn't had a conversation with you. I'm like okay, one of my personal toxic traits is that I can see things from multiple angles. It, it, it's hard. It's hard sometimes. Right, so I can understand, as a father, watching your son fall back into a woman in love with a woman who's already in a relationship. Okay, 100%, you have a right to say what you need to say. So he tells her this ain't really working out.

Speaker 1:

I don't want to see my son struggle. He has so much trauma behind this accident. He was the most active person I've ever seen in my life. He has lost the use of his limb, his legs and other stuff that he hadn't told you about. It is quite the trauma for him. He's at the doctors right now and she's like listen, okay, big daddy, I understand that you feel a way. I don't really care how you feel, because the way I feel about Dusty is not only between he and I, but it is authentic, it is real. It is true. I understand that you would feel a way because I'm married, but trust me, I don't have a marriage. I want your son. I love him.

Speaker 1:

Now his father says, okay, that's all fine, well and good. I've watched my baby struggle. He's all over the world trying to get back to walking, get back to active. Do you know that he is impotent? Now this is where okay, this is where concern does this cross a line? I'd love to know from you guys Is this crossing a line by telling her of his status there? I personally feel like that is a very personal topic that needs to be talked about between two consenting adults so that you understand the situation that you're walking into. Big daddy decides to drop that on her and she's like I don't really care. Now his dad doesn't really understand this is. This is the part where I can my. My being able to see from both ends is very frustrating, because I can understand as his father.

Speaker 1:

You do not want to put a woman in a position to be in love with your son so that she will only leave later when she is not fulfilled. I totally get that. He is 100% right for stepping in and saying what he needed to say, although I don't think it was his place to tell that priest a personal information. It's just not right. I don't like it. But on Sue Ellen's front, she's like I have lived a farce for the last almost decade of my life. I would rather have real love with a man. That that's as far as it goes. It's just emotional love and we figure out how to have a life together. I would rather live my entire life standing beside his wheelchair versus the life that I'm living now, because this is real love. This is the man who loves me. This is the man who loves me so much that he crawled over a mountain, he crawled into a ranch house, lived his life. He bailed me out because he finds me interestingly enough and important enough to look after every single day.

Speaker 1:

Her own husband told her girl I ain't paying no, pi, because I don't find you interesting enough to do that, for I understand where she's coming from and you know what. Yes, she wants a lot of authenticity, but also, is this going to be a problem later on? She obviously has a great deal of emotions towards Dusty, aka Steven, and not being able to express that. No, I'm not gonna go there, but I'm gonna go there for all the adults listening. I don't know what sort of um apparatuses and equipment is available in 1981. I think there are definitely ways around this. Obviously, tiktok has shown us many couples in a very similar situation who have found ways around it, but I don't know where the technology in medical community was at in 1981. So who knows, who knows? So, as the episode progresses, she don't really give a damn. She was like I found this man. I thought you were dead.

Speaker 1:

Can you imagine the gift of mourning someone you love so deeply and dearly, only to find out they're still alive? I'm with her. Whatever this is going to be, we're just going to have to figure it out. But she spends the entire day with him and then at the end of the day he's like Sue Ellen, please don't come back. Oh, and there I go. I'm like Dusty, what do you mean? And he explains that know, honey, I'm just not the person you who. I'm just not the person I was when you fell in love with me. And she's like please, don't do this to me, please, please. I love you so so much doesn't matter. To me it doesn't matter. But he's like okay, it doesn't matter. Today. It might matter a few months from now, it might matter 10 years from now. You're gonna look at me one day. You're gonna look at me. You're not gonna want me.

Speaker 1:

Oh, broke my heart, absolutely broke my heart. Like, damn damn you, dusty, steven, dusty, dusty, steven, dirtbag, oh. So she, oh, by the end of this episode she's like okay, I mean, he basically says, if you love me, if you love me, then you just won't come back. And so she says okay, fine, fine, fine. You will never, ever know how much I really, really, really love you and the last thing I want to do is hurt you. So guess what? I just won't come back. Essentially, she says that Now, I'm hoping that's not true.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to be real. I haven't seen episode 17 yet. I'm hoping that's not true. I'm gonna be real. I haven't seen episode 17 yet. I'm hoping that's not true, cause he's cute. He's cute. Dusty is falling. Fine, he looks like a young Paul Newman.

Speaker 1:

If you know who Paul Newman is, if you eat salads from McDonald's, he's the guy on the salad dressing bag. He's a hottie. You need to watch um Push Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He's a smoke show, or no One? Flew in Cuckoo's Nest is Jack Nicholson. What's the other movie where, oh god, he's on a chain game? I forget. Just look up Paul Newman. That's not a hard name to look up. Look him up, trust me, in his heyday, even in his 70s day, baby Paul Newman was fine.

Speaker 1:

But don't get caught up on that, because, okay, I wasn't going to talk about anybody else, but I need to talk about Ray and our good sister the millionaire. The millionaire, oh God, what is her? Her name? Miss Donna Culver. So she ends up staying the night with Ray. They have a whole chatter, chatter, chit, chit. He admits that he was being a fool. She admits that you know what? She didn't, woke up as early as she used to when she was with him and they decide that it's time to go ahead and make this thing official. She's gonna be the newest mrs ewing, although he doesn't use a ewing name. What is his name? Right? I almost said ray schmurda. I don't know ray's name. She is a new mrs ray blase, blase. So I wasn't gonna say nothing, but he upset Miss Ellie.

Speaker 1:

So you know how they have the pep rally before dinner every night at the Ewing house. Pam is there and Lucy's like girl. I need a maid. But I don't need Mitch to know I got a maid and he has a very tight budget. You think you can hook us up with a job. Pam's like absolutely, you are my favorite niece and I know I'm your favorite auntie. Clearly you can hook us up with a job. Pam's like absolutely you are my favorite niece and I know I'm your favorite auntie. Clearly you can have a job as a model I got you, even though you're four foot five.

Speaker 1:

Ray comes in with Donna and and Jock in his amber colored glasses. It's like you know what? Tink, tink, tink. I always seem to be the emcee. Congratulations, donna, welcome to the family.

Speaker 1:

Ever since I knew about Ray, I knew I need to do something for him and I don't want you to be a cowhands wife because I know you're used to being a millionaire. And Donna starts to look uncomfortable, like oh god, I didn't think money would be brought up here. She's right, I'm kind of with her. I didn't think that would be brought up either. But then Jock's like well, you know, I have this whole trust set up for my sons. And you see miss ellie's face. She whips around like wait, what trust set up for the funds? And then he says, well, I added ray. Today he's a 25, uh inheritor, so he is a millionaire in his own right. And the look on ellie's face is like, oh no, hell, no. Now. This is very interesting to me because I mean it's quiet as cat. She's known he's his son way, way, way, way longer than ray did.

Speaker 1:

Ray come to tell it has showed up at their like he was 15 years old. He's at least 35 now. He had no clue that he was jock's son. Up until a couple months ago he hadn't asked for nothing. All he wants to do is continue to live his life. He's been working hard. He's never asked for a dime. He's been good to everybody, even though he was sleeping with his niece. Now that's disgusting his blood knees. So now that he is a rifle heir, there goes that whole. Okay, I gotta agree with something. I can see both sides. He deserves that. He has never asked for anything and quiet is kept. I think he might have gotten it even if he weren't jock's son. He's earned it.

Speaker 1:

But Ellie's like wow, wow, wow, okay, okay. So let me get this straight my deadbeat, runaway son is never going to come back here and your steadfast, wonderful, good son is going to stay here. And now I got to split everything my family's property. Now this is where, ellie, you're wrong. I'm with you when you're right. Today you're wrong, jocks, money comes from the oil. Maybe it comes a little bit from cattle, but let's keep it a buck. You need him more than he needs you.

Speaker 1:

At this point. Ray is getting that oil money. You just don't have to deal with it. But I also to irrational thoughts day. I understand her being upset because it's like oh okay, we're just going to keep rewarding this. You get to be a slut and I have to just deal with it. That's great. Guess what's going to happen. I'm going to keep day drinking. You're going to keep eating dinner by yourself, because I hate you, jacques, or at least that's my point of view. All right, guys, that's it.

Speaker 1:

That's all for this episode of Soap Floor. I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I have. I cannot wait to sink my claws into episode 17, because I really don't know where this is going at this point. Is Sue Ellen going to run back to Dusty? I certainly hope so. Is Ellie going to make a big deal and put Jock in his place? I hope she does, but also. She's wrong, but I'm with her either way. This is fantastic. Dallas is really showing up and showing out In the meantime. In between time, take care of yourself. Make sure that your husband has no extra spawns, especially if he is a multimillionaire, because maybe your baby's not gonna get the money they are due. Stay hydrated, stay moisturized, mind your own business and keep all of your drama on tv. Bye.
