Marissa to Kyrstal: "I just came to give you something."
Me: "A punch in the mouth?"

It really bugs me when people who are supposed to love their child or grandchild constantly refer to it as the child, the boy, that child, etc. At least Erica has the excuse of NEVER saying or allowing anyone else to say the G word -- she's vain. But Adam is KNOWN as Grandpa, as is David. They talk about Junior Junior as if he's a THING or someone's else's kin, not their own. The least they could do is refer to him by NAME or say OUR little boy, etc.

Adam puts a loaded gun in a drawer. After Junior Junior was TAKEN AWAY when he drank the scotch that JAR left out on top of the very same cabinet, Adam still just sticks the gun there without a second thought. Nice. Foreshadow much? I did see JAR use a key on it, at least, but that's hardly the best place for it. It may be handy to shoot Adam's plethora of enemies as they all barge in en masse to kill him, but it's STILL too easy for Junior Junior to get to. Or Emma, for that matter, since she's suddenly coming over to play with him now.

There was another major foreshadowing, too, but I'm not going into detail about it just now. Actually, the entire show was pretty much foreshadowing, but at least ONE of those foreshadowings will bear fruit.

Krystal sure knows how to dress to kill, doesn't she? The neckline AND the backline on that top plunge pretty far -- far enough that the skin UNDER her bustline shows in the front. She could probably wear that top facing either way and no one would be able to tell the difference.

Guns, guns, everywhere guns. I'm wondering if a whole bunch of people are going to shoot at Adam at the exact same time. Then they can all wipe their guns of handprints, throw them into a pile onto the floor and make a run for it. A bullet can be matched to a specific gun, but if none of the guns are registered to any of the people shooting, there are no prints, and everyone shoots at the same time, there would be no way to know which gun was in the hand of which person.

Is Ian really dead, or will they be able to revive him? Kendall nodded at Zach to indicate she would carry through on their pact; did she then LEAVE little Ian to go kill Adam??? It wasn't clear if she was doing that or going back into Ian's room. Was it just to get the car keys? If your baby dies, you don't go running out that very second to wreak revenge. You STAY there with your baby. You hold him close to say goodbye. You stroke his little face, and pat his little bottom, and hold his little hand, and pour your love and grief out to him! He'll be taken away after a while and this is going to be your LAST CHANCE to cuddle him and be with him before they do that. He's still WARM for God's sake!!! There's time enough for revenge LATER. Zach DID run out to kill Adam (only to be stopped by Jesse).

I don't understand this at ALL!!! I absolutely understand wanting to get revenge, but running out to kill someone the very SECOND your baby's heart stops just BOGGLES MY MIND!!! It happened so fast that, for all they know, it was a wonky heart monitor! It makes the hatred and revenge toward Adam seem to be MUCH more important to them than their OWN BABY. I could almost accept Kendall doing that -- she never did seem to bond with Ian, and being comforted by Ryan might be more important to her. Zach OTOH bonded very strongly with Ian from the moment Ian was born. Even as angry and vengeful as he is, the REAL Zach would have stayed with the baby not only when he died, but probably until Zach or Ian was dragged away by force, not unlike how Rhett Butler reacted when Bonnie Blue Butler died in Gone With The Wind. Then again, Rhett DID take time out at first to shoot the pony.

Question: What kind of heartless, clueless writers kill off a BABY and dismiss it within 30 seconds?

Answer: The Chuck Pratt kind.
