MOMENTS

Ronnie gets the house!

You figured this was going to happen, but it was still fun to see everyone in total shock and Tracy go completely apoplectic. Of course, Ronnie’s presence raises questions and suspicions. Is she really Monica’s sister? Is this the handiwork of Martin Grey? Is she running a scam? Was she brought in by Drew? Does she have something to do with Drew’s shooting? So many possibilities! I only wish Erika Slezak were sticking around longer so we could see Ronnie and Tracy duking it out over morning tea more often.

Tracy gets Pickle Lila-ed again.

I’m hoping Tracy finds out that Monica actually left something more sentimental to her, because it honestly just wouldn’t be right otherwise.

SCENES

Ronnie with Tracy, Ronnie with Sonny

Ronnie served as a perfect foil for Tracy, whose protective and territorial Tracy Quartermaine-ness went into overdrive from the moment they met. If Tracy’s right, what will she do to Ronnie once the truth comes out? If she’s wrong, will Ronnie let her stay in the house? Will she charge her rent? Will she make her stay in the stables with Hades? Where they are headed with this story is anybody’s guess right now, but getting to watch soap legends, Jane Elliot and Erika Slezak, have fun sparring on screen is pure entertainment.

I am not sure if having Ronnie meet and talk with Sonny served any other purpose other than to have Erika Slezak and Maurice Benard in scenes together, but I’ll take it. There was something so special about seeing the two soap icons together on screen. Their conversation about living with regret felt natural, sincere, and authentic.

NOTABLES

Once Ric (Rick Hearst) is freed from captivity, I’m going to need them to find ways to put Ava, Alexis, and Kristina together in scenes because they are shaping up to be my favorite frenemies and are most enjoyable to watch! Maura West and Nancy Lee Grahn played off of each other perfectly this week, and they all continue to hit every note of this insane, dark comedy storyline.

I liked seeing Curtis and Portia team up to test Drew. I also liked seeing no-nonsense Jordan stand up to Drew and then go straight to Curtis to tell him what was going on.

We’re still not sure what the truth about Nathan is, but the scenes between him and James were sweet. And, the scenes between him and Spinelli were refreshingly mature, thoughtful, and respectful to the characters’ histories.

Love that Spinelli put Britt on blast and was pressing her for answers as to where she’d been and what she’d been doing.

Tracy

“So you're Monica’s little sister? The runt of the litter.” - Tracy meeting Ronnie for the first time

“Do you usually welcome visitors with hostility?” - Ronnie to Tracy

“Congratulations, you have inherited the family superpower.” - Tracy to Michael about not being able to tell whether he was lying or not

“Why are we meeting outdoors? Are you forbidden to be anywhere near decent people?” - Tracy to Martin about meeting outside at Bobbie’s

“Oh no, not emotional distress.” - Tracy’s deadpan response to Martin claiming she caused Drew emotional distress

Tracy: “Yuri, get the taser! We have an intruder. [Ronnie] Michael: “No, no, Yuri, cancel the taser.”

Tracy: “First, Cody invites a stray dog on the property, and now you are inviting - “ Ronnie: “Lady, I don’t know where you’re going with that, but maybe you shouldn’t finish the sentence.” Ned: “Mother, why didn’t you tell us Monica’s sister was here?” Tracy: “Because she’s not as winning as the other stray. Pack it up, lady, it’s time to go.”

Tracy: “She [Ronnie] is going to get this house over my dead body.” Ronnie: “Those terms sound fine to me.”

Ronnie: “I seem to have just inherited this whole property, so I think the warrant should be served to me.” Tracy: “Somebody’s been watching Law and Order.”

“He is a malignant weasel.” - Tracy, referring to Drew

Tracy: “You’re still here.” Ronnie: “Yes, of course, it’s my house. Monica gave it to me.”

Ava, Alexis, & Ric

“Swallow it! That’s a good boy.” - Ava giving Ric a sedative to put him back to sleep

“Haven’t I always told you, restraints can be so much fun?” - Ava to Ric about being bound to the bed

“I can safely say that coming home to you will never be anything but disconcerting.” - Alexis, after walking in to find Ava in her living room

“The guy has been bludgeoned, drugged, trussed up. He’s being held captive by the ex-wife he hates, the niece he hates even more, and the ex-lover he is probably pretty displeased with.” - Ava to Alexis about being worried Ric was getting pushed to his limits

“Remember this dagger? I’m sure your mother would.” - Ric to Alexis as he held the same dagger that killed her mother to her throat

Alexis: “What do you want?” Ric: “More than anything, a shower.”

“Molly is not going to like it if you kill her mother.” Alexis to Ric as he is threatening her with the dagger that killed her mother

“Why is he so heavy? Must be his fat head.” - Alexis to Ava after they chunked Ric back on his captivity bed

“I should have jammed the pills down his throat with my fist.” - Ava to Alexis after discovering Ric had been spitting out the sedatives

“You are a greedy man. And an ass. You are a greedy ass.” - Ava to Ric

“I’m sorry that my basement lacks the amenities of the panic room you built to have Carly stashed in” - Alexis to Ric after he said it was inhumane to hold him captive in the basement

Liesl

“We have respectfully listened to your opinion, despite the fact that no one has asked for it.” - Liesl to Britta regarding James meeting Nathan

“After all, who is more proficient at doling out disappointment?” - Liesl to Britta, who offered to talk to James about not getting to meet his dad yet

Miscellaneous

Carly: “Michael didn’t shoot Drew. He’s not a killer.” Anna: “Claudia Zacchara might beg to differ.”

“Are you on a date the day of your grandmother’s funeral?” - Kristina questioning Michael why Jacinda was at the Quartermaines

“I could use a degree in bioengineering if the whole spy thing doesn’t work out.” - Josslyn to Brennan

“Okay, talking to you still requires a translator.” - Britt to Spinelli

Britt: “Since when am I required to be transparent?” Spinelli: “Since you allowed the world to believe you were deceased.”

Carly’s Belted Crinkled Vest in Tide Navy by Donna Karan - One of the best outfits I’ve seen Carly wear in a while!

Jordan’s Ray Utility Tux Jumpsuit by Reiss - This feels referential to the 70s but also completely modern at the same time. Love the olive color, and Tanisha Mariko Harper looked snatched!

Olivia’s ¾ Sleeve Crepe Dress by Kobi Halperin - Great color & fit; Also like the pleated neckline and sleeves

Emma’s Ethel Petal Collar Short-Sleeve Denim Jacket by Cinq á Sept - So cute; Love the denim petals on the spread collar, the pocket details, and the puffed sleeves

MUSINGS

If they’re going to roll out another pregnancy/who’s the daddy storyline, I say they go ahead and make Portia (Brook Kerr) pregnant with fraternal twins so one of them can be Curtis’s and the other can be Isaiah’s (Sawandi Wilson).

Martin, Willow, Jordan, & Curtis all know that Drew is planning on intentionally framing Michael for his shooting, yet not one of them has gone to the police with that tidbit of information. Why???

Is Martin actually the one who cut Drew out of the will?

I'm glad Gio and Emma finally figured out they both liked each other!

What’s up with both Carly and Michael going to Elizabeth’s? Was Michael (Rory Gibson) staring at Carly (Laura Wright) or someone else before he walked into Elizabeth’s house? I realize it’s all set up to look like they planted Edward’s gun there, but I feel like it could be a red herring or a ruse.

It’s a shame Jack is really screwing up because I actually like him and Carly together.

How long are we going to have to wait to find out who Britt was working for and what she knows about Nathan?

The new pictures for the actors have been taken. We finally get to see some of the newer actors in the credits!
