Why does Liza always do something stupid like falling asleep on the couch the night before a big court date?

And Ryan, the loving father. He spends what could be his last night with his daughter within his custody, the last night before the big court date, with his daughter spending the night at a friend's house and him spending the night in Erica's bed. And did it not occur to him how often Annie has manipulated Emma and how she would sneak around to get to her? Annie could EASILY have gotten to Emma while Emma was spending the night at a friend's house! Hell, Annie can easily get to Emma in Emma's own BEDROOM, but at least if Ryan were there he could have taken at least MINIMAL precautions! If nothing else, how about he and Liza spend a little time PREPARING for the case? Or just HE prepares for what he's going to say? Silly me -- NO ONE prepares for court in Pine Valley.

Why didn't they just have Opal say what was on ALL our minds when she "sensed a masculine presence" in Erica's rooms and especially coming from the bed? She was smelling EAU DE SEX! You don't need ESP to figure THAT out, just a working NOSE!

I was really hoping that when Colby turned around after showing Annie her innocent little schoolgirl jumper outfit that we would see that the jumper was assless and Colby was wearing nothing but a thong under it, because her little act was so transparent.

Here's the big stumper about Colby and the clothes she was going to wear to the courtroom: WTF was Colby planning to go at ALL? If she hates Annie, what's the point? For that matter, why were Scott, Erica, etc., in court at ALL? Aren't custody hearings generally closed to the public? I could see how MAYBE Scott and Colby might have to testify as far as them both living at the mansion, but that was never an issue in the first place. Erica has NOTHING to do with Emma's custody unless it's somehow intertwined with the fact that she sometimes stays with her GRANDCHILDREN, one of whom is Emma's brother.

Is giving angst-ridden testimony about how much ANNIE needs EMMA really the best approach for Annie? Ryan's testimony was about what was best for EMMA. Annie's testimony was all about ANNIE.
