Line Of The Day:
Erica to Ryan: "I ought to SMACK the 'smug' right off your face!" DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!
Krystal is having painful and dizzying after-effects from her head wound, yet after falling to the ground when David shakes her in a fury, she goes to a bar and orders drinks. She's not too bright, is she? Whatever happened to the days when people would offer a cup of tea for comfort?
Doesn't Kendall have to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest rest of her life for her heart transplant? Is drinking allowed while taking those drugs?

Why is Krystal wearing something that's the same color as what she wore the day before? Did the wardrobe dept. get a good deal on olive-drab fabric if they bought it by the bolt? Actually, it's kind of a cross between olive-drab and gray. I might have missed the gray aspect if it weren't for the fact that they were doing a close-up of her and I realized her dress color matched the stone wall at Wildwind.
And speaking of the next day, why didn't David pull any more machinations overnight? That's SOOOO unlike him!
Since JAR got out of jail, why couldn't HE contact Adam instead of being dependent upon Erica for that? He could have obtained a pay-per-use phone on the way home from jail if he didn't want the call to be tracked. This whole thing of Adam being out of the picture, even for health reasons, just clangs with falseness. I don't mean falseness like there's something else going on in the storyline, but falseness in that NONE of them are acting in character as far as that goes. I'm assuming DC has been on vacation or otherwise engaged for a while. OTOH, the way they are acting, I'm wondering if they are phasing him out.
Angie says Frankie and Randi just got married a few days ago. Uh, didn't they just get married YESTERDAY?
Why is David allowed to stand up in court and interrupt what JAR is saying? Neither the judge nor his lawyer stop him, nor does JAR's lawyer object. The judge FINALLY says something, but only after David gives what amounts to a SPEECH.
Now I'm watching Kendall talk to Ryan. She's wearing a blouse that kind of blends in with the brick/stone facade behind her on our right. Is this Dress-To-Match-Your-Walls Day in Pine Valley?
Seriously, quite a few characters are acting like they are saying lines, but have no idea what is behind the lines. It's like they are just spouting words to hear themselves talk and woodenly walking through their scenes. It seems like David is the only person who is showing any emotions.

With what just happened to Natasha Richardson, it's kind of interesting timing that Krystal has a head injury and David is insisting that she leave the hospital anyway. The fact that they are making a big deal out of it and Krystal says her head still hurts must mean something WILL happen in that regard. Then again, maybe they'll just drop it.
I LOVED it when Zach told Ryan: "I don't know what Aidan says half the time." LOL!
Where did Ryan get the money to take over Cambias Industries?
Why is Kendall leaving town when Fusion has been so neglected and is in the toilet? And she was upset because the staff was away at a seminar for a few hours?
WHY did Erica go over to tell David and Krystal that JAR was out of jail and the judge has been replaced??? Other than to gloat and put him in his place, what possible purpose did it serve? It would have been SOOOO much better for he and Krystal to show up at the hearing and be surprised, with no room to maneuver. Now they have all night to do something about it.

Kendall wakes up Ryan's bed and yammers on about their problems while Ryan lies there wishing she would shut up and leave. He's feeling bad for having sex with Kendall when he's still mourning for Greenlee. He SHOULD! Jesus, he's had sex in that bed with Kendall, then Greenlee, then Annie, then Greenlee, and then back to Kendall. I wonder if he's even changed the sheets yet.
Did you notice that almost EVERYONE stumbled over their lines today? I wonder what was going on.
Boy was that ever a fake kitten sound coming from the box! It was definitely a PERSON making kitten noises. Sheesh, you KNOW the economy is bad when they don't have enough money in the budget to spring for some kitten mewing sound effects that probably come on a CD with a few thousand other sound effects for $9.99.
Jesse arranged for he and Angie to take Little Adam in temporarily. Oh yeah, no bias THERE.
And how weird was it that Barry Shire, who went over to David's house to draw up papers to wrest custody of Little Adam from the Chandlers to David, went to the PVPD to spring Colby for bonking Krystal on the head so that Krystal couldn't stop JAR from taking off with Little Adam? Oh yeah, no bias THERE.
Greenlee "died" in the water. I wonder if she REALLY wants her ashes scattered in the water.
Ryan explains to Emma that Mittens and Greenlee are both still in Heaven and that's where they both have to stay. What he does NOT explain is why he put the lid back on the cardboard box and is still holding the terrified kitten prisoner in it. Then he sends Emma to take the kitten (still tightly encased in a cardboard box) to the neighbor so they can all ooh and ah over it (probably without ever taking it out of the box). So far, he's having Emma play hooky from school so they can spend a special day together and he's gone out IMMEDIATELY after she came home after spending the night with Corrina, then come home and sent her out again. Okay, so Zach is there and she probably shouldn't hear what they are going to say, but DAMN he's a lousy father! Does Ryan even know Emma's middle name?

I see Amanda and Jake are continuing to blabber at every possible opportunity about their super, super, SUPER-SECRET plans. What better place to talk about it than the ONE place David is almost SURE to be, lurking around every corner?
Frankie and Randi get married. That's nice. Not INTERESTING, but nice.
Are we REALLY supposed to be rooting for the true love of Kendall and Ryan? I mean REALLY? WTF are the writers smokin' that they think the majority of fans would go along with that?
The writers like to portray women as always following their hearts or their passions. Why can't they show them following their BRAINS once in a while?

Ugh! What is Krystal wearing? It looks like it ASPIRES to be a prison uniform!
Kendall walks into Fusion, sees only Ryan and asks where the hell everyone is. He tells her they are all at an off-site productivity workshop. BWAHAHAHAHAAA! While they certainly NEED such a thing, no one is ever there, ANYWAY. Amanda doesn't work there anymore, Babe is dead, Greenlee is (ostensibly) dead, Randi is playing slap & tickle with Frankie (interrupted by Angie, wanting to plan the wedding), Erica is at the PVPD and who knows where Petey is. Maybe HE is at the workshop. Except for the fact that Kendall and Ryan even bothered to show up, it's pretty much business as usual.
Is it my imagination or has Alicia Minshew actually GAINED 2-3 lbs (and I mean that literally)?
Angie apologizes to Frankie and Randi for coming over at a bad time. Gee, what was the clue? Was it, perhaps the fact that were half naked and obviously feeling frisky? What, she's never heard of a telephone? I notice she didn't bother to leave and offer to come back at a better time.
Did the face of the woman working at Zach's casino remind anyone else of a cross between Liz Vassey (Emily Ann) and Eva LaRue (Maria)?
Ryan indignantly tells Erica that her son-in-law is a walking black hole. EXCUSE ME??? Talk about the pot calling a kettle black! Zach has a LONG way to go to get even CLOSE to the black, sucking, infinite vortex that is RYAN!
Why is David blackmailing a JUDGE to bring charges against Adam Chandler? Judges don't BRING charges -- they sign search warrants and can order arrests warrants for people who do not appear in court at the scheduled time, they officiate in court, they impose sentences and sometimes they even decide guilt or innocence, but they don't BRING charges against people.

Why is Reese being such a big baby? She's supposed to be so strong and capable and logical and instead of answering Angie and telling her where it hurts (she's used to reading blueprints, after all), she acts like she's three years old just keeps telling them to make it stop.
Another reason to think that Tori might be Annie's imaginary friend: Her name. The name Tori is very close to the word Story, and we all know how much Annie likes to invent stories. Think of all the princess stories she's written for herself and Emma and the nauseating storybook themes Ryan used to impress her because of it. She's Annie's S-Tori.
Here we go again with David going along with the police to enforce his agenda, this time to question Erica about the whereabouts of Little Adam. Bogus, bogus, bogus!

When Kendall walked behind Jack and put her hands on his shoulders to console him over Greenlee's death, how many of you wondered if she was going to have grief sex with HIM, too? Come on, I KNOW I wasn't the only one who had that flash through their minds 
Jack said something about the deed to Greenlee's apt that he gave her. Huh? Greenlee bought that apt WAAAY before she ever knew Jack was her father. Did he pay it off and then present her with the deed?
How is it that JAR can keep a scowl on his face even when he's unconscious?
When Kendall said "My best friend is GONE!", was I the only one who, at first, heard her say "My bedspread is GONE!"? Shades of All My Luggage If I actually WATCH her say it, it's clear, but if I look away when she says it (reproducible), it sounds like bedspread. The whole bedspread thing and her angst over losing it might have something to do with her bad habit of having extra-marital sex whenever both parties are grief-stricken. Perhaps she should speak to Lysistrata Schwartz about it.
I think Tori is a figment of Annie's imagination, just like Annie having sex with Aidan in her room. Either that or she's a reporter.

Ho hum. Another day, another bout of grief sex. Alicia Minshew probably said "Oh, for God's sake, not AGAIN!" when she saw the script. Did Kendall even call the nanny and let her know she wouldn't be home all night? Where was Emma? How many woman is Emma going to wake up to finding in Daddy's bed, at the breakfast table, or worse, in front of the fireplace? Hmmm, they actually DID go to bed instead of on the floor in front of the fireplace. Maybe that was a concession to Kendall's recent coma and surgery (not to mention her bony body).
Uh, since when is a person who wants custody allowed to be in the other person's house when a search warrant it being carried out? It's not like the child is THERE at the moment, so David should NOT have been included in ANY way. If nothing else he could have PLANTED something to be found by the police. Then Jesse and his crew go off to do the search and leave JAR and David together in the foyer. Oh yeah, THAT'S a good idea. TOTALLY bogus! AFAIC, if anything "bad" were to happen in that foyer while those two are there, the PVPD could be sued for bringing David into the house and leaving him unescorted.
I thought Amanda and Jake were going to make very, VERY sure that there would be NO WAY anyone would find out her secret THIS time -- so why are they yakking about it in a house that is brimming over with people?
Did Aidan just tell Zach "I have an update on Wyan"? Who is he now, Elmer Fudd?
How can JAR not answering the phone be obstruction? I mean, if the law REALLY wants to know if Adam was the one calling, they have to go through LEGAL channels and get a court order to get the phone tapped. Jesse ordering him to answer it or he'll be charged with obstruction was LAUGHABLE.
Why is "Greenlee's body" at PVH? Wasn't she found up in the water near Connecticut? Kendall says the body was in the river. She wasn't listening, was she?
Kendall was in the hospital corridor with Ryan, Zach and Aidan. She's had sex with all three of them, and grief sex, while still married to Zach, with the other two. This has such an ICK FACTOR written all over it! Okay, so Ryan missed the gathering by seconds, but still ...
Even after EVERYTHING that has happened, there are STILL decanters in the Chandler living room. WTF??? If they REALLY want to retain custody of Little Adam (not to mention help keep JAR sober), you'd think the FIRST thing they would do is get rid of the booze -- the FIRST thing!
Oh look, there's David lurking around and planting something NOW. Well, he's probably spiking the contents of the decanters, but that's STILL planting something.
