Oh, and Dr. Sinclar is also wearing a necklace that conveniently has a large hoop on the end of it, all the better to grab hold of it and yank. So she can have her earlobes ripped out AND get a nasty burn on her neck when someone grabs the necklace off of her, too.
JAR tells Colby that Amanda is pregnant and that the baby is his. Well, that pretty much cinches the deal -- the baby can't POSSIBLY be his NOW.
If it were anyone other than Greenlee who was watching Emma when Emma burned her hands, Ryan would have RIPPED THEM A NEW ONE! Instead, he thinks it's just downright ADORABLE that Greenlee was actually baking cookies! I think I'm going to puke.
Doesn't Amanda have any locks on her yacht?
Has Brot told his MOM he's alive yet?
I DO wish they would stop jumping around so abruptly. Dr. Sinclair accuses Aidan of faking being a paranoid schizophrenic in one scene and the next thing we know he's listening to Annie through the vent again. Also, Sinclair knows Aidan keeps sniffing around Annie to an obsessive degree so WHY would she allow them to have rooms right next to each other?
Maybe they should team up Dr. Sinclair with David -- they seem to have similar goals in life, i.e., they derive great pleasure in making everyone around them MISERABLE, often under the guise of "helping" them.

Let me get this straight -- Everyone who loves Kendall was taking shifts sitting with her at the hospital before her heart went south -- then she has a HEART TRANSPLANT and no one is there but the doctors and nurses?
Erica tells Amanda to take the rest of the afternoon off. So Amanda leaves. Without her purse, without any car or yacht keys (unless she's hiding them in a VERY small hiding place somewhere under her dress) and without so much as a sweater, even though they've made it quite clear that it's VERY cold out.
Did I miss something? When did Amanda decide NOT to have an abortion. I recall her running into David, Jake and JAR and rescheduling her appointment because of all the interference from these men, and the next thing I know she's already made the decision not to have an abortion because she's decided to go through with the pregnancy.
Ah, NOW we're seeing a glimmer was what the doctor's fucking problem is with Annie -- she's obviously PERSONALLY pissed off that Annie killed Richie. At least I HOPE that's her problem, because she's certainly being an aggressive BITCH about it.
It's about TIME someone noticed that "Fusion's" in the posters/advertising is sometimes missing the apostrophe! That was pointed out on rec.arts.tv.soaps.abc a LOONNNNG time ago.
Poor Thorston Kaye, having to say those INANE lines about Kendall's heart. Saying that since she doesn't have her OWN heart anymore means it might not sound the same when he puts is head on her chest and that she won't have the same feelings for him because it's not "her heart" is one of the most ASININE things I've ever heard! She might stop loving him because a) he fathered a child with her own sister without ever mentioning it to her, and b) he shot her brother in the head. But that will having nothing to do with having someone else's heart beating in her bony chest and everything to do with Zach's behavior and decisions. She might also have her own doubts and conflicted feelings about having her brother's (or anyone ELSE'S) heart in her chest and might push Zach away, but that would be a psychological problem on her part, and it wouldn't cause her to stop loving Zach.
Yet another loony-bin no-no by Dr. Sinclair: Dangly pierced earrings. She's just BEGGING for an inmate to rip her earlobes apart when they grab the earrings and yank really hard. Her overall bitchiness and REALLY bad "techniques" make that scenario a DISTINCT possibility.

Why did Opal ask Krystal to Confusion to talk? Krystal is an ADDICT, so Opal invites her to a place where everyone is DRINKING? In any case, there is lots of loud music playing, which is not really conducive to talking.
WTF? How did Amanda manage to get JAR up out of the water? The drop was obviously more than a few feet. Even with a ladder he would have to actively climb it HIMSELF to get out of the water, yet he's there sputtering on the dock asking what happened. Oh PUH-LEEZE! There is no way in HELL she would be able to push/pull him up out of the water on her own.
I LOVE it when Angie gives her talk-to-the-hand gesture! She used it with David Hayward in this case.
If Tad knows Krystal is struggling with drugs, why is he offering to let her take Jenny to swimming class? Should he really trust her with DRIVING their child? As Opal subsequently pointed out, if David had called while Krystal and Jenny were in the pool, Krystal could have taken off to go to David and left Jenny bobbing in the pool like a cork!
In a side note, why is Jenny being taken to swimming class in January? Even if it's an indoor pool (and I assume it IS), her hair would get wet and it's COLD outside. Was Tad planning to blowdry it before taking her home?
I guess my prediction about Amanda getting hypothermia was wrong. JAR got it, though.
Krystal is so fucking gullible it's downright PATHETIC! She desperately wants to believe that David only has good intentions toward her and she'll believe ANYTHING he says to foster that notion. I can't believe she's buying his innocent act as far as the pills go -- the ONLY information she has about them is what HE told her -- she doesn't even know what they ARE!
Krystal tells Jesse that she brought the pills because David told her to, but she's not taking them anymore. Then why didn't she get rid of them instead of keeping them around to tempt her?

Kendall is on immuno-suppressive drugs. I'm guessing Prednisone or a similar steroid is included in the mix. So, will Kendall gain weight and get a puffy face? BWAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA! Sometimes I crack myself up 
Is it cold in the studio? For once the women, (and men) except for Bianca and Reese, are wearing coats, and they're INSIDE the hospital. Where are the usual spaghetti straps? Erica's even rubbing her arms through the sleeves, although that can be attributed to feeling desolate over the situation.
Amanda comes right out and tells Jake that she's getting an abortion. Wow, times HAVE changed! She didn't say she was not going through with the pregnancy or that she's going to have a procedure or that she's going to terminate the pregnancy -- she actually used the word ABORTION!
Erica's son was shot, declared braindead, and his heart was transplanted into her daughter. Is this REALLY the best time for Jackson to insist that they "define" their relationship?
And why is Ryan pushing Bianca to get married on Valentine's Day, even though she wants to postpone it? Her brother just died and her sister is in the recovery room after a heart transplant. Is this REALLY the best time to force her to deal with her ambivalence about marrying Reese? I think it's perfectly reasonable for her to postpone the wedding for a while, given ALL the circumstances. Why doesn't he just STFU? He and Greenlee can go ahead and have their ridiculous, nauseating wedding and have their wedding and anniversary all to themselves (because no one else ever thinks of getting married on Valentine's Day). What an ASS!
Am I the only one surprised that Reese didn't topple over when Zach handed Spike over to her, given that she already had Ian on the other arm?
JAR stumbles off the dock and into the frigid water. Amanda, unable to summon help quickly, takes off her coat and jumps in to save him. I'm predicting that she will get hypothermia and be in danger of losing the baby, which will prompt her to decide that she DOES want the baby after all. Maybe THIS was what the coat thing was about -- they needed to stress how cold it is.

Who lets a 4-yr-old drive a motorized car IN THE LIVING ROOM? Don't they have a ballroom (or at least a Rec/Wreck room) for that? Talk about not setting BOUNDARIES!
How long will it be before Little Adam gets the notion in his head to try to drive the replacement Duesenberg (given that Krystal blew up his father's previous Duesenberg)?
Why is Adam BURNING Little Adam's car? What I can only imagine the kind of toxic fumes that are now permeating the house! I think taking it outside and using a sledgehammer would have been just as effective.
Is Erica LEGALLY Josh's next of kin? She's his biological mother, but she aborted (or THOUGHT she had aborted) him early in the pregnancy. His mad scientist foster-father saved her fetus and implanted it in his wife and Josh was raised as their son. Madden was murdered and Josh was accepted, more or less, into both the Kane and Martin families, but was anything done LEGALLY? Unless something has been legally remedied in the meantime, I don't see how Erica IS the next of kin. Even if she is, isn't Jeff Martin ALSO the next of kin since he is the bio-father? For that matter, did Josh designate that his organs should be donated in the event that he dies?

Angie looks MUCH better with a V-neckline rather than a squared one. The squared one makes her look kind of squat (kind of like me when I wear a hat).
The judge says she based her decision on what she had seen in court AND on the evaluations that had been submitted. Evaluations? WTF? TWO days had gone by since Tad returned (if THAT)! How could the court have POSSIBLY done any kind of "evaluation" on Krystal's mental state and ability to care for her child? How about drug testing? It doesn't sound like any of that was done for EITHER parent. For that matter, no testing was done on the pills that fell on the floor of the court, and Krystal never stated what they actually WERE (not that she even KNOWS) or how she obtained them. David looked shocked when he saw them spill to the floor (even though HE deliberately caused it to happen). No one asked HIM what they were, either. I can't believe NO ONE inquired as to the nature of the pills! That whole hearing was a total CROCK!

OMG! Krystal actually took some pills WITHOUT milk!
Dr. Sinclair (her name is finally in the IMDB so I know what it is) is a LOUSY shrink! Ugh! She's bitchy and touchy in a hands-on kind of way and leading, jumping to answer her own questions FOR the patient. The foundation of a patient/therapist relationship is trust from the patient and listening from the shrink. A rapport has to be established so that the patient will open up. I wouldn't tell Dr. Sinclair ANYTHING. She seems downright hostile.
Annie FINALLY mentions Emma. I thought it was quite odd that her memory returned, but she didn't appear to have the slightest thought for her daughter -- only about Greenlee and Ryan. It made me think if Casey Anthony who constantly seems surprised and annoyed that everyone else is focusing on her missing (and then found-dead) daughter instead of HER.
And now the shrink says Greenlee needs to see Annie. Oh yeah, THAT'LL help everyone. Again: WORST. SHRINK. EVER.
It was pretty hard to take ADAM on the stand testifying against Krystal, but I about CHOKED when he said he strongly believes a child belongs with its MOTHER! This from a man who has tried over and over and over again to take his children from their mothers. It's pretty tough to take ANYONE in that courtroom seriously or feel sympathy for ANY of them.
Why is Jake still being such a bastard to Amanda? It makes NO SENSE! He's acting like SHE did HIM wrong when HE'S the one who broke off with her to chase after Taylor. I don't buy the "nasty drunk" excuse, either. Being drunk doesn't tend to TURN people mean -- it just allows people to say what they REALLY think without the usual inhibitions. That is SO out of character for him to be nasty to her like that! I understand his anger toward David and toward his ex-wife who ran off with a trucker, but what did Amanda do to him other than give him GREAT sex? Yeah, she's too free and easy with sex for her own good, but so is HE!
Oh, it's about TIME someone said something about Krystal taking drugs!
Krystal testifies that Babe was an "angel on earth". OH BARF!
Speaking of barfing, Amanda suddenly has to make a run for the ladies room to puke, and we all know what THAT means. She's probably pregnant and she won't know if the father is David or JAR (or even JAKE, for that matter), and neither one of them is a prize, although it WOULD make for some nifty child-support ... until one or all of them tries to take the baby away from her and/or one of the four of them kidnaps the poor little thing.

Frankie is being an ASS! He pushed Randi and pushed her and pushed her to make her feel safe and open up to him emotionally and let her know that he understands about her past and does not judge her for it. Then, at the first bump in the road he turns his back on her BECAUSE of her past.
What is Greenlee so upset about with that dream about the motorcycle? Ryan's crashed before and he'll crash again (many times, no doubt) -- it's what he DOES. And as I say every time he crashes, his head is made of titanium and his body will BOUNCE. I mean, REALLY -- are we supposed to be even REMOTELY concerned about him crashing his motorcycle? Or anything else, for that matter? He's clearly indestructible.
Why is Reese thanking Erica for brunch? She was only there for a couple of minutes before Bianca showed up and she didn't even EAT anything! Not that she or Erica have eaten anything since last year anyway ...
Why is Kendall's heart beating so fast? Is that a symptom of it "failing"? Does she have a fever? I mean, she's just LYING there (looking fresh as a daisy at a point where most people would be atrophying and their hands getting clawed). For that matter, why is the heart monitor beeping at ALL? They can turn that off and there's no reason for it to be annoyingly beeping 24 hours a day. What if Kendall can hear it and it's driving her CRAZY (even more crazy than she normally is)?

As mentioned on R.A.T.S.A., that angular doorknob in Annie's room is a big no-no. That entire institution is a JOKE!
Does it ever occur to either David or Krystal for her to just take a damn pill rather than dissolving it in milk? It's not like she doesn't know she's being drugged at this point.
And speaking of the drugs, why is everyone focusing on Krystal having an affair with David as grounds to lose ALL custody of Jenny? That's ABSURD! Taking drugs, of her own volition, and continuing to do so, driving while intoxicated and behaving recklessly might factor into it, but I'm pretty sure that having sex with someone other than her husband is not grounds for anything but a divorce. Yet no one is mentioning the the drugs. Tad KNOWS she's taking them because she TOLD him.
Annie SHOT Aidan. Wouldn't the staff at the hospital (or at least Dr. Sinclair) have photos of the people Annie murdered and maimed, if only to familiarize themselves in order to work out a treatment plan?

I understand Tad shoving JAR out the door, considering Tad had other things on his mind. HOWEVER, since JAR is clearly inebriated, Tad really should have taken his car keys first.
This has come up before, but I wanted to mention it again. My sister pointed out that the fireplace at the Slater does not have any screens, despite the fact that there are small children (babies even) in the house! Fires are EASILY accessible from TWO sides! Then there's the matter of the ROUGH stone all around the fireplace (all around the entire living room, for that matter). WTF is WRONG with these people? That is NOT a kid-friendly house! The fireplace is nice but it should, at the very least, have been child/baby proofed even before they ever moved in with just Spike in tow, let alone now that there is Spike, Ian, Miranda and Gabrielle! I was thinking about that as I watched Reese swaying while holding Gabrielle -- with the long, trailing pink blanket swaying over and over again toward the open flame. Yeah, it's a fake flame on the set, but still ...
I LOVED seeing that scrunched-up little face the baby made right before it was decided that the baby should quickly exit the scene as she started crying. God, babies are SOOO expressive -- their emotions and reactions can change like lightning, but they ALL flit across their tiny little faces! Not that I'd want to deal with whatever was causing her outburst (based on the fleeting expressions on her little face, I'd say she was taking a dump), but it's entertaining to watch in brief instances :-) Of course, I was so entertained by it that I had to rewind to pay attention to what Reese and Zach were actually saying. Babies (and animals) are also notorious scene stealers.
I thought of my sister again when Reese made the Princess And The Pea comment about Bianca -- in that regard, *I'm* the princess :-)
Brianne Moncrief (Colby) really needs to stop "acting" by simply letting her mouth hang open. It doesn't seem to matter WHAT the scene calls for; she just stands there with her mouth hanging open (well, except for that time she splashed water on Petey's crotch in the pool, but her mouth was probably hanging open then, too). We used to call Dog-Boy/Gabriel Devane "GaPEriel" for the same reason (the Dog-Boy part was because he had been caged and was semi-wild). At The Pine Valley Podcast, they often refer to her as "dead behind the eyes". She's in serious need of acting lessons.
Did you notice in the scene where JAR tells Amanda that her coffee sucks they suddenly started piping in water noises to indicate that they were on a water vessel? I noticed it because I thought there was suddenly a loud, leaky faucet or that perhaps a dripping raccoon was climbing up the ladder out the water. There were also motor noises, which made me wonder if 007 was about to race up alongside the yacht on a jetski and ask for some Grey Poupon.
Tad "gives" Krystal to David. The skank is all YOURS, man. Have at it! Damn, David SOOOO wanted Tad to punch him ... again. I think having Tad lose control and punch him was MUCH more important to him than any other aspect of the whole scenario. Maybe I've been thinking about this all wrong -- he can't help himself -- he CRAVES Tad's touch!

Not that I'd want to deal with whatever was causing her outburst (based on the fleeting expressions on her little face, I'd say she was taking a dump), but it's entertaining to watch in brief instances :-) Of course, I was so entertained by it that I had to rewind to pay attention to what Reese and Zach were actually saying. Babies (and animals) are also notorious scene stealers.
I thought of my sister again when Reese made the Princess And The Pea comment about Bianca -- in that regard, *I'm* the princess :-)
Brianne Moncrief (Colby) really needs to stop "acting" by simply letting her mouth hang open. It doesn't seem to matter WHAT the scene calls for; she just stands there with her mouth hanging open (well, except for that time she splashed water on Petey's crotch in the pool, but her mouth was probably hanging open then, too). We used to call Dog-Boy/Gabriel Devane "GaPEriel" for the same reason (the Dog-Boy part was because he had been caged and was semi-wild). At The Pine Valley Podcast, they often refer to her as "dead behind the eyes". She's in serious need of acting lessons.
Did you notice in the scene where JAR tells Amanda that her coffee sucks they suddenly started piping in water noises to indicate that they were on a water vessel? I noticed it because I thought there was suddenly a loud, leaky faucet or that perhaps a dripping raccoon was climbing up the ladder out the water. There were also motor noises, which made me wonder if 007 was about to race up alongside the yacht on a jetski and ask for some Grey Poupon.
Tad "gives" Krystal to David. The skank is all YOURS, man. Have at it! Damn, David SOOOO wanted Tad to punch him ... again. I think having Tad lose control and punch him was MUCH more important to him than any other aspect of the whole scenario. Maybe I've been thinking about this all wrong -- he can't help himself -- he CRAVES Tad's touch!
