Liza tells Krystal to tell David that if he gets anywhere NEAR her baby, she'll file an injunction against him. Yeah, that'll stop him.

Hmmm, looks like the suggestion I heard was right (was it on RATSA or the Pine Valley Podcast comments?). Jake just offered up a solution of doing a DNA test on the baby to prove it is not Jake's. Amanda doesn't recognize Liza's baby as HER baby. Ergo, that baby is NOT Amanda's baby, and her baby IS somewhere else. Either that or Jake is going to take Krystal's cue and doctor the DNA test. I really hope we don't see HIM leaving the lab tech's office while wiping off his mouth as the tech pulls his pants up in the background. Of course, Jake has also had more than one mysterious phone call in which he seems to be referring to the care of a baby, but it's ambiguous.

I just LOVE how David Canary portrays Adam as always HISSING like a snake. He says: "Well, it's not too far-fetched if you put Zach Slater in the mixssssssssssssssss." He doesn't ALWAYS do it, because that would be overkill. It's like he just throws them out there just to remind us every now and then. LOL!

Is Annie allowed to leave the house unless it's on the grounds? I thought house arrest meant you couldn't go more than a few feet from the house. I know nothing about ankle bracelets used to track arrestees -- do they have to take reasonable precautions not to get it wet (like covering it up for showering)? If so, going into a pool could be problematic. Then again, they wouldn't be very effective if that's all it took. FF to later in the show and I was right about the first part -- the pool IS out-of-bounds for house arrest.

How is Colby planning to feed the baby, considering there's nothing IN the bottle? I can see where she might have gone to fill the bottle and THEN taken the baby from Liza, but it's kind of stupid to try to fill the bottle while holding the baby. And then a few seconds later she comes BACK with the crying baby. I'm assuming he's crying because he STILL hasn't been fed. He gets fed and burped (and possibly diapered) even faster than Randi takes a shower!

Liza can't be Kendall's lawyer. She a) recently slept with Kendall's husband, and b) more importantly, she is ANNIE'S attorney. Annie was also at the mansion that night and is a witness, if not a suspect. Also (on Annie's behalf) Liza is retained by Adam Chandler, whose brother was murdered and who was, himself, the original target. There's a HUGE conflict of interest there, and no court would ever, EVER allow that!

YOWZA! Ryan's sporting quite a man's camel-toe there! When he picked up the bag of whatever it was in the living room the camera slowly panned up from the floor. WTH? Is he wearing some kind of Wonder Thong? Do we really need to see THAT? He looked kind of smug, too, although that's not an unusual expression for Ryan. Here's a screenshot of his camel toe:


How did Adam get up to the Fusion office without taking the elevator that Kendall just used to descend from the office? And if Annie is being grilled by Jesse, why is Adam over at Fusion blasting Erica? Shouldn't he be hovering outside the doors to the living room so he can be there to escort Jesse out when he's done while he huffs, harumphs and hisses? And how did he get all the way to Fusion from the living room while Annie is still standing there talking to Jesse?

Someone on the Pine Valley Podcast commented on how skinny Marissa is. I don't think she's skinny. Compared to some of the other women on the show, she looks just about perfect as far as weight goes.

Hmmm, it's pretty odd to see David PRAISING Chandler Enterprises at a press conference. What's his angle? Is he setting up Adam and JAR for a big fall? If Ian died or had to have yet another operation to replace the valve, that wouldn't look very good for David, and I don't think he would to that to a toddler. I suppose it's a win-win for David either way, though. If it succeeds, he's the first doctor to use it, and if it fails, he can use that excuse to take down the Chandlers. Maybe the SECOND person who gets it is going to ... well ... GET IT. I doubt he did it JUST for visitation rights once a month with Junior Junior. Or did he? Toward the end of the show he explained to Scott that Ian survived DESPITE it being a flawed valve, because he immediately recognized the problem and was able to fix it on the fly. For now. You never know with David, though. With Chuck Pratt writing, anything is possible.

I have a question about the valve replacement. Ian is just a baby. He's going to grow quite a bit over the coming years. Wouldn't the valve need to be replaced as he grew older? Is it too big for him now and he'll grow into it, or will it be too small for it and have to be replaced every few years until he's an adult? Wouldn't scar tissue build up around the sutures and stay unstretched or, worse, split as he grows?

How many of you guffawed when David, with a straight face, told a reporter that they maintain STRICT doctor/patient confidentiality at PVH? BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!! Stop, yer killin' me!

Why did Aidan get up from the table to warn Annie not to say anything about where she was and telling her she was taking a BIG risk calling him? Wouldn't have have been considerably more discreet to simply sit there and take the call without dramatically pacing about over a sudden phone call? Super secret agent my ASS. He may have done it to get away from the people near his table, but he COULD have been a bit more nonchalant about it, even if he had to pretend he was digging out a wedgie to do it. Come to think of it, a nasty wedgie WOULD explain the expression that's on his face most of the time.

Adam invited DAVID (and Krystal) to the mansion for the celebration party? Oh PUH-LEASE!

Hey, they actually DID acknowledge that Ian was not yet 2 years old (he's 21 months)!

I don't understand why JAR seems to think visitation rights to David are a done deal -- JAR did NOT give visitation rights to him -- ADAM did. Not only that, but wouldn't the COURT be the one to say that David has the RIGHT to visitation? From what I can see, David has no rights AT ALL, even if Adam DID sign the papers. ADAM does not have custody, PERIOD. If JAR is too stupid to figure that out within 2 seconds, then he really shouldn't be running a multi-national conglomerate ... or even signing a report card. THIS MAKES NO SENSE!

I liked the way Adam's voice went high when he told Erica and Nurse Gail that he was FINE. A voice suddenly going high is a dead giveaway when someone is lying or at least nervous about THAT part of what they are saying.

I LOVED how David made it clear to Scott that it's in everyone's best interests for the heart valve to work, as opposed to David telling the world that it was flawed: if anything goes wrong, Zach will make sure they all end up in the desert somewhere after going through a wood-chipper. Ah, THAT explains his angle. Even DAVID has second-thoughts about crossing ZACH.

And then they end the show with finding the doctor (who pioneered the heart valve) hanging from the ceiling, with us seeing his feet swaying back and forth. Man, what a DOWNER! AMC is really pushing the envelope lately. That's the third in-your-face event in about a month or so; first they showed Zach removing Liza's panties, then they showed Jake going down on Amanda under the covers (which was in HIS face in that instance) and now a hanging body. I hope we aren't going to see the man's bloated face with his tongue protruding, his eyes popping out and a rope around his neck on Monday (not to mention puddled urine on the floor, among other things).
