Today was a mixed bag. It was a watchable episode but had a lot of WTFery.

I can appreciate what they were going for with the press conference, but I just don't think it played well at all. It needed more people and fewer extras. This board for DE is just ridiculous. The biggest downfall of it, though, is that Hattie is absolutely right but it's being written like she's ridiculous. It's going to be even more ridiculous when they attempt a Kate/Andre repair after this. Their makeshift family has always been stupid. I wish I thought this was the end. There were some good reaction shots and some funny moments with Hattie, but as a whole it just didn't work, IMO.

I didn't enjoy the Bonnie/Maggie stuff or the Adrienne stuff today. JE is so much better as Bonnie than as Adrienne. I don't buy Victor going along with the stuff Bonnie was saying. He'd just get up and walk out.

Lucas/Chloe was fine, but kind of out of place. I don't understand why Chloe is still in Salem.

The stuff at the sanitarium was fine. I kind of liked Marlena explaining Hattie to Andre (Andre and Roman remain the two biggest dummies in this story). I thought Thaao was terrible in the whole episode, though.

Hope was the best part of the episode. She's just so much better away from Rafe. I liked that she knew it was Hattie very early on, but it wasn't overly obvious. She kept fumbling over saying Marlena's name.

IDK. Not the weakest episode of the week, but definitely not the strongest either.

So I wonder if the cops got Lucas' DNA but can't identify it? Has he ever been arrested?
He's been in jail. He took the fall for Will after Will shot EJ in the back. And when Lucas slapped Sami and EJ called the police.
Ah, thanks. So maybe his DNA is is in the system then?

Really, another faux/Hattie goodbye or whatever you wanna call it? Am I suppose to feel sorry for Hattie? When she just told the asylum to give John and Marlena electro-shock? I realize RC loves Hattie but she better get a decent goodbye... such as a fall down an elevator or something. Maybe a Kweenbida lawnmowering?

I found the press conference and sanitarium scenes rather entertaining for the purpose they had. It is sad that Andre really was a serial killer so Hattie did speak the truth but for the purpose of this plot the reactions were funny. I loved Andre's face and reaction when he saw Jarlena in the sanitarium, trying to fit the puzzle together. I can't wait until Monday to see the next step of this storyline.

I'm really glad Hope had the Salem brain and figured out it was Hattie. I enjoy Hope again when she is not with Rafe, and is hanging around the community again.

I didn't really care for the jail scenes. JE is more enjoyable as Bonnie and I hated Bonnie last time. Maybe since she's not interfering in her kids lives this time, her sassy and bold attitude is more enjoyable. I loved watching her spar with Maggie.

Oh good at least Justin is on top of things! The autopsy says Angelica died of natural causes.

LOL at Jennifer, Hope, Paul, and faux all shocked and aghast at "Marlena" for saying Andre is crazy. Um, they should be putting her on a pedestal and showering her with roses. :blulaugh:

Who knew I would like Maggie again. Having her around Bonnie makes her bearable again.
I saw Maggie the opposite way, more like the old, nosy, interfering
Maggie.

Hey, hey, hey, Holly is still Victor's stepgranddaughter. Come on.

Brady is not Holly'a father

I wonder if Suzanne Rogers is angry that Maggie has suddenly reverted to Maggie Horton of the 90s/00s instead of Maggie Jonas. Her interviews about Daniel/Victor being the loves of Maggie's life and Maggie never really being a Horton matriarch were so pointed that they didn't leave much wiggle room to go back.

I enjoyed today's episode. Judi Evans had me laughing when she made a play for Victor. I am not a Bonnie fan, but Judi is terrific. She is so underrated. I wish they would give her a better character to play than Bonnie or Adrienne. I just loved her at Paulina on Another World.
It really wasn't so outrageous what Hattie said about Andre. What she said was absolutely true. lol.
I feel bad for Lucas, but he and Chloe would make a nice couple this time around. Good Ending.

It was weird to see real!Adrienne again, and even weirder to see Adrienne still wanting to be with Lucas. I do still think JE does a great job keeping her two characters separate. And I do feel sorry for Adrienne.

I liked Sheila, even if she does mistakenly think it's a shame about Deimos getting iced. :blulaugh:

I liked the scene of Lucas promising Chloe he would go to a meeting. It was sweet.I was hoping for another Allie shout-out-- Chloe/Allie actually were close when Allie was a toddler-- but I suppose I've been spoiled as far as Allie mentions go.

Sheila agree to bring the card to Justin without first reading it? Mm okay. :rolleyes:

I like how Drake played the scene where Andre comes in and sees J&M. John was totally unphased. :D

I would've thought Andre would take one look at J&M and instantly put two and two together, considering his past with Hattie, but no he just didn't get it :rolleyes:

Is KA trying to play up the comedy? I'm just curious about all her goofy faces in this ep.

What hospital can afford to have so many orderlies stand around listening to patients chatting? :D

I'm LOL at Jennifer running around breathless with her little tape recorder in the air. :blulaugh:

Ah, Hope putting it all together about her good friend Hattie, LOL

So did Anjelica die of an aneurysm? Did they SAY what it was? I swear to God if they say it was just natural causes I will freak out. I only accept natural causes if said person was old and up there at age.

I hate that Andre as a sociopath is being played as a scam. This "reformed" Andre stuff is crap.

That's my main issue with everything right now: they haven't done nearly enough repair work yet to make me content with the the story direction for various characters.

They said it was a heart attack.
