Erica just DRIPS with disdain over the fact that Zach chose LIZA as an attorney when there are SO many lawyers that are just SOOOO much better than Liza. she just does NOT understand why he would choose HER. This from the woman who insisted that Trevor Dillon represent her in his very FIRST case. She was being tried for murder, I think, or possibly the kidnap of Maddie Gray. Trevor had just passed the bar by reading a few second-hand law books that Natalie picked up for him). Pot, Kettle.
Did anyone else wonder if Liza peed her thong when David was holding the gun on her?

Obviously Liza gave only MINOR lip service to the concept of attorney/client privilege, given that she's spilling the beans to David about the loan from Adam to Zach with relatively little prodding on his part.
Are they setting little Trevor up to have an emotional detachment disorder? I ask because so far he's bonded with a) the nanny, b) Amanda, c) Taylor, and d) Randi. That's a LOT of Mama figures for such a short time period.

TAN/OT: Well, I'm FINALLY done with the move! Well, me and my stuff are here (about 2/3 of which is now in storage), it's not "done" by a long shot. Today is more about staring off into space with exhaustion, hobbling around (only when necessary) and marveling at the fact that we did NOT actually drop dead (or even faint) due to heat stroke because moving day happened to be on THE HOTTEST F**KING DAY OF THE YEAR!!! On the plus side, the Comcast tech comes out on Monday with a cable box for me, and then I'll get SoapNet!
Angie wants to admit JAR to run some tests. "What KIND of tests?" he asks. Angie: "Exploratory." Uh, yeah, isn't that pretty much the DEFINITION of a test when it comes to medical procedures? I was pleased that he asked her to be more specific. I've never had a doctor tell me that he/she needs to run some tests, but not tell me what the tests ARE or, at the very least, what they are FOR.
Randi dances and coos over baby Trevor. I wonder how big her smile will be when her adorably rips her dangling, dancing earrings right out of their holes.
Now David has a roaring fire in HIS fireplace. In August. These people are INSANE! I'm doing what I can to avoid bursting into flames or melting into an unrecognizable puddle of goo and they're setting fires in their living rooms in order to sit in front of said fires for the purpose of romance or coziness.

Is this Spike one of the seldom-used triplets? At least today his hair doesn't look nearly as Hitler-like as it usually does.
Since she's on house arrest, does Annie have someone come to the manor to give her Collagen injections in her lips, or does that qualify as a medical necessity?
Did you notice Annie's bangs while she was testifying? They poofed out from her forehead and she was CONSTANTLY shaking her head back and forth and up and down as part of her sincerity act. Every time she did that, her bangs would bounce wildly side to side (shaking her head) or up and out (nodding her head), to the point that I watched the rest of her hair to see if someone had a fan on her (they didn't). At one point, it occurred to me that her bangs almost looked like a slinky in motion :-) Then a famous line from "Some Like It Hot" occurred to me: "It's like Jello ... on springs!"
Liza tells Tad that she has feelings for Zach. How can anyone tell? She's like an iceberg. Everything she says comes out as a combination of bored with attempted sultriness, and her facial expression (singular) rarely changes. I say ATTEMPTED sultriness because that seems to be what she's TRYING to convey, but she leaves ME cold.
What the hell did Kendall hit Liza with? It looks like a photo album or some other relatively soft (compared to a brick, for instance) thing. Naturally Liza is knocked out cold. How is it that people in Pine Valley lose consciousness at the slightest bump when they are just standing on a floor somewhere, but manage to jump or fall off high rises and cliffs with little or no damage?
As for Kendall, she's practically BEGGING to be exposed and put into prison where she's supposed to be in the first place.
OT/TAN: Three more days to pack for the move Saturday. Will I make it in time? Stay tuned ...

Annie KNOWS how to behave herself. Her nickname used to be BLANDIE, after all. She was a typical soccer mom type when she first came onto the show, so why is she now acting like such a spoiled BRAT? And right when I say enough is enough, she flat out admits she's behaving badly, so either it's by design or AMC got a little TOO much flak from the fans about her.

At the beginning of the show Erica wakes up in response to Krystal's entreaties. Erica sees the scorpion on Krystal's chest and she said: "Oh my God!", followed by what sounded like squeals. The closed-captioning, however, said:
Okay, now THAT is funny! If the CC is to be believed, Erica was initially so frightened that the scorpion might sting Krystal that she actually farted (or at least that's what the script called for). A fart in response to that stupid scorpion bit is actually a pretty astute commentary in and of itself.
Angie tells Jesse that a lie is a lie, unless it's saving the person you love. Uh, no, it's STILL a lie -- it just means you've rationalized it.
Why isn't Erica's makeup instantly melting off of her face in the African heat? Doesn't she even sweat? Not even a teeny-tiny bit?
Kendall said that, for so long, she thought she belonged in prison, but she doesn't feel that way anymore. For "so long"? Has it even been a month since she even realized that she probably killed Stuart?

Why would Adam conduct legal business at ConFusion? Confusion is not HIS style at ALL. And Liza takes her BABY there to conduct the business? WTF? Who takes a baby to a BAR? She should have either gone to Adam's house or had him come to the Yacht Club or even BJ's, but not a BAR! Then Liza says she's got a bottle in the fridge for little Stuart. So she not only takes the baby to a bar, but she imposes on the bar to handle her baby supplies. Where did she change the baby? Do you know of any bars that have changing tables in the bathrooms? Condom and sanitary supply dispensers, yes, but a changing table?
Does little Stuart really belong on the TV show "Heroes"? I ask because for some reason his caretakers seem to be able to feed and change him within mere SECONDS (in this case, it took approximately 43 seconds, with me just counting 1,001, 1,002, etc.) for Liza to walk away and return after changing him). Colby did something similar with him earlier. Now THAT is a superpower. The kid apparently has the ability to either be self-cleaning, like an oven, or to speed up time whenever he feels like it. That is one low-maintenance baby! Hiro on Heroes refers to baby Matt Parker as Baby Touch-And-Go because the baby can make all kinds of things stop or start, depending on his mood (and you'd better hope his mood is GOOD or not much will get done). What's little Stuart's superhero name?
Can attorney/client privilege still apply in a busy bar? I mean, the privilege applies to the attorney, but if anyone else is there it could considered a waiver of that privilege for THAT person. That's another reason for a lawyer to meet with clients in an office or an otherwise private location, and not in a f**king BAR. That said, Ryan was NOT a part of that meeting. However, anything he might have overheard is too damn bad for the lawyer and the client because they did not take even REMOTELY reasonable steps to ensure privacy.
Where and when did Randi get a bright orange shirt and exceptionally loud plaid pants for little Trevor? Oh yeah, he'll blend.
Well, it looks like Jackson is fleeing the coop and probably not going to California when AMC moves its production facilities. Of course, he's on so seldom, he might still come back for short visits, much like Barry Shire, who only shows up on rare occasions. Besides, now they have Liza to be the town lawyer, and Livia is still lurking around with a briefcase somewhere in between Crestor commercials and stints on crime dramas.
Why do both Krystal and Erica need to do their respective "work" out loud? Are they incapable of doing anything in their heads? I'm reminded of an early episode of "Married ... With Children" wherein Bud says something along the lines that he can tell when Kelly is trying to read because her butt cheeks move as she tries (in vain) to sound out the words.

Wow, it's about time Colby had a decent hairdo. This is the first time I've seen her that she actually looks like she might be a grownup.
The nighttime shot of the exterior of PVH shows a man jumping off the ledge again. What were the odds of that?
How come Liza's baby is SOOO much smaller and younger looking than Amanda's? It looks like it's only about a month old whereas baby Trevor looks like he's about three months old.
Why can't Opal use her clairvoyance to find out where the baby is? All she really needs to do is deal some cards to at least get a clue as to his fate, right? Or she could read Amanda's palm

OT/TAN: I'm only just now watching Tuesday's show. Moving is exhausting and time-consuming! The big move happens on 8/29, so things should settle down after that. I'll even have access to SoapNet!
Okay, I have to say it -- that hairstyle is MUCH too young-looking for Angie. It's hard to take her seriously when she looks like that. She looks like she's on her way to the airport to welcome the Beatles to the States.
So Randi took the baby. That's such a trite storyline. Woman loses baby, woman steals baby. At least she doesn't seem to be so deluded that she thinks the baby is hers, although she does seem to think that finders-keepers applies. The poor baby must be stinky, diaper-rash-plagued and starving by NOW.
It's the second half of August -- why is there a fire in the Slater fireplace? And why are there lit candles all over the place? It's not even nighttime. The romance of fire kind of loses its sizzle in the daytime, especially in the dog days of summer. The romance will fizzle out even quicker if Spike wakes up and wanders into the living room to take a closer look at the pretty flaming candles.
Uh, don't vaccinations have to be done at least 48 hours before any exposure to a virus? Erica won't have any time to build up immunity if she's leaving for Africa in a few hours.
Natalia's reaction to finding out that Randi "found" the baby is pretty underwhelming. She's acting like Randi found a pair of shoes, was wearing them and Natalia's saying: "Girl, you canNOT wear THOSE shoes with THOSE pants." Except she says it with less concern than she would if there really WERE clashing shoes involved.
Whoever filmed and/or edited the NYC scenes should be FIRED. They couldn't keep anything in focus for more than a half a second and everything was sped up and wildly swinging from one shot to the next. Yeah, I know it's supposed to be artsy and light-hearted, but it's making me dizzy. And they keep shifting from day to night to day and back to night again. A good ending to the scene would have been for the guy pedaling the cart that was hauling them around to have let loose a REALLY loud and pungent fart. Honestly, those shots were worthy of an Ed Wood movie.
If Randi believes that she lost her baby because she did bad things in the past, what does she think will happen to THIS baby now that she's picked it up?
Oh great -- here comes another romance novel from Kendall.
My sister, Sharlene, said:
"OMG ... Ryan just kissed Erica ... that would be like me making out with my son-in-law ... EEWWWWWW!!! Aside from the yuck factor, Ryan and Erica scenes around New York doing fun stuff is a bit sad, considering they are moving the show to California. Once again I have to say that Kendall is too dumb to live ... Damn, she's such an impulsive IDIOT!!!!! Time for another coma ... PLEASE!" I agree with my sister on all counts!
Erica said she's wondering if she'll be different somehow when she gets back. Was that supposed to be a veiled allusion to the big move to California? Is Susan Lucci staying in NY? Will Erica be different when she returns from Africa because someone ELSE will be playing Erica?
Here's a possible scenario. Perhaps what will happen is that she'll be riding an elephant for a publicity shot, but the elephant goes rogue and thunders off before anyone can stop it, with Erica clinging to whatever one clings while on top of a rogue African elephant. Months later she will finally be rescued from a group of chimpanzees that allowed her to stay amongst them for the duration. The female champanzees will be wearing grass skirts and halter-tops made from vines and leaves. They'll have blossoms in their head hair and will have learned to eat with their pinkies stuck up in the air. A few of them will have learned to make stiletto heels with twigs, leaves and vines and can be seen gamely trying to figure out how to walk on them using their feet AND hands. When the males come sniffing around, the females all start to act coy and begin doing simian simper-dips. The males just roll around in the dirt, bonk themselves on the head, leer at the females and yank them around, and puff out their chests, pounding on them and each other, which is kind of what the males in PV do on a daily basis, anyway.
Erica, in the meantime, will have learned to climb trees without breaking her nails and become an excellent groomer. She never WAS one to eat much, so she willingly gave away the nits, fleas, lice and assorted vermin that she finds in their fur, which was an excellent way to form bonds of friendship and curry (so to speak) favor with desired allies -- this also helped to keep her from being beaten to a bloody pulp. She was already well-versed in the art of throwing hissy fits and flinging things around when she was mad. Her close association with Ryan and his chimpanzee mannerisms had laid the groundwork for her to look speculatively at the alpha male of the troupe. In the meantime, she tried to sabotage the alpha female in whatever ways she could, mostly by trying to get the other females to turn against the alpha female by telling lies about her as she groomed the others and gave them little tiny braids. Getting rid of bodily wastes was not an issue for Erica, and it never was -- in all her life she's only used bathrooms for taking baths, catfights and getting stabbed, after all. Oh, she still had catfights and got stabbed, but bathing didn't happen as often. She will also be sporting some bitemarks, a torn ear and some bald patches, which would lead the way for plastic surgery so that when they put another actress in the role, we'll be EXPECTING her to look different. Dr. Fashionella, alas, is not available to restore her face to exactly the way it was before her sojourn with the chimps, having met a similar fate in the rain forests of Brazil.
I'd say Erica would just be dragged off by lions, but lions like a little MEAT on bones, and I'm pretty sure lions would HATE eating silicone even if they DID bother with her as a snack. I can just hear them now: "PTUI! Ugh! I KNEW I shouldn't have tried this appetizer! I can't BELIEVE the things they put into the food supply these days! I'm telling you, Ralph, do NOT eat that part! Convenience foods can taste so plastic-y sometimes!"

It's been pointed out to me on RATSA that there actually WAS a separate ledge that Ryan was hanging off off to do his chin-ups/pull-ups. Upon closer inspection of the beam post on the right, I can now see that, so my bad. Still, I think I like MY version better 
Besides, he was STILL only just BARELY using his fingertips to pull himself up, and he DID look like a fly or a lizard clinging to a wall.
When Zach went into the safe room, he looked at the tray of food and I swear to God he said: "You touched your poop!" Excuse me? I backed up and heard the same thing, although the closed-captioning said "You haven't touched your food!" Well, that certainly makes more sense, although since she's locked in a small room, then MY interpretation COULD apply, I suppose. Anyway, I backed it up several times and that's what I heard EVERY time unless I actually read his lips. He kind of slurred quickly through the line, I think. Oh well, it's more fun when I hear something slightly different than what they actually said I can almost HEAR Crow T Robot exclaiming in consternation: "YOU TOUCHED YOUR POOP??? Do we REALLY need to know THAT level of detail?"
Why does Annie keep wearing clothes that make her look boxy?
Adam says he's not going to lend Zach money if it's intended to help with Kendall's appeals. I thought appeals were not on the table if a person pleads guilty unless some new information comes to light (like proof that someone ELSE did it). For instance, Dennis Radar, the BTK killer basically said, okay, guys, you GOT me! Then he stood up in court, allocuted (told them what happened, in detail) and proceeded to give a thank you speech to law enforcement that worthy of the Oscars. HE cannot appeal. Appeals are basically procedural issues based on things such as Ineffective Assistance Of Counsel (I'm surprised EVERY conviction in PV isn't overturned on that basis alone), not filing something by a certain deadline, not filing certain motions, deliberately hiding relevant evidence, improper testing or storage of evidence, etc. It's basically paperwork. An appeal is not so much deciding someone if someone is guilty/not guilty as it is deciding whether or not they should have ANOTHER trial. If a conviction is overturned on appeal and the District Attorney decides not to do a retrial, then I think the defendant walks free. Otherwise, the defendant can probably get out on bail until the retrial.
Why are Jake and Amanda still keeping quiet about the baby? WHY? The baby has been TAKEN! Granted, they LEFT the baby and set it up that way, but it backfired. It doesn't MATTER if David finds out at this point, nor does it matter that they will probably end up standing before a judge for hiding the baby in the first place; what MATTERS is finding the baby! There won't be ANY fighting with David (other than vendettas and legalities) if no baby can be produced. Surely SOMEONE has at least taken photos of the baby that can be put on the news and given to police. Time is of the essence and they're all running around on wild goose chases or twiddling them thumbs.
Annie should really consider throwing her little hissy fits and making of faces in another room. She apparently keeps forgetting that Adam has the room under 24-hour surveillance. Then again, so does Adam.
A) Why are Zach and Kendall constantly caught off guard when people keep knocking on their door? B) Why does Kendall keep coming out of the "safe" room blithely thinking that no one will ever see her? I'm sure she IS going stir crazy in there, but them's the breaks if she wants to stay out of prison illegally.

Besides, he was STILL only just BARELY using his fingertips to pull himself up, and he DID look like a fly or a lizard clinging to a wall.When Zach went into the safe room, he looked at the tray of food and I swear to God he said: "You touched your poop!" Excuse me? I backed up and heard the same thing, although the closed-captioning said "You haven't touched your food!" Well, that certainly makes more sense, although since she's locked in a small room, then MY interpretation COULD apply, I suppose. Anyway, I backed it up several times and that's what I heard EVERY time unless I actually read his lips. He kind of slurred quickly through the line, I think. Oh well, it's more fun when I hear something slightly different than what they actually said
I can almost HEAR Crow T Robot exclaiming in consternation: "YOU TOUCHED YOUR POOP??? Do we REALLY need to know THAT level of detail?"Why does Annie keep wearing clothes that make her look boxy?
Adam says he's not going to lend Zach money if it's intended to help with Kendall's appeals. I thought appeals were not on the table if a person pleads guilty unless some new information comes to light (like proof that someone ELSE did it). For instance, Dennis Radar, the BTK killer basically said, okay, guys, you GOT me! Then he stood up in court, allocuted (told them what happened, in detail) and proceeded to give a thank you speech to law enforcement that worthy of the Oscars. HE cannot appeal. Appeals are basically procedural issues based on things such as Ineffective Assistance Of Counsel (I'm surprised EVERY conviction in PV isn't overturned on that basis alone), not filing something by a certain deadline, not filing certain motions, deliberately hiding relevant evidence, improper testing or storage of evidence, etc. It's basically paperwork. An appeal is not so much deciding someone if someone is guilty/not guilty as it is deciding whether or not they should have ANOTHER trial. If a conviction is overturned on appeal and the District Attorney decides not to do a retrial, then I think the defendant walks free. Otherwise, the defendant can probably get out on bail until the retrial.
Why are Jake and Amanda still keeping quiet about the baby? WHY? The baby has been TAKEN! Granted, they LEFT the baby and set it up that way, but it backfired. It doesn't MATTER if David finds out at this point, nor does it matter that they will probably end up standing before a judge for hiding the baby in the first place; what MATTERS is finding the baby! There won't be ANY fighting with David (other than vendettas and legalities) if no baby can be produced. Surely SOMEONE has at least taken photos of the baby that can be put on the news and given to police. Time is of the essence and they're all running around on wild goose chases or twiddling them thumbs.
Annie should really consider throwing her little hissy fits and making of faces in another room. She apparently keeps forgetting that Adam has the room under 24-hour surveillance. Then again, so does Adam.
