"It's called DJ Wear."
"Disc Jockey Wear?"

Thank you for acknowledging the stupidity of that name, writer of this episode.

Well this wasn't good.

But I do think them showing Roman signing the file closed knowing it's a lie was significant.

I'm hopeful that once they all leave LA that there will be no more talk of Daniel (at least for a little while). I know it's wishful thinking on my part, but a girl can dream...

But, in all honesty, has any actual dead person on this show been mentioned more than he has in such a short amount of time? I like Daniel, but it's more enough already for me too. Give it a rest.
Not even Tom or Alice Horton. Now those two should have been memorialized and given the send off that SC was.

Rafe mentioning Chad in the interrogation room as if he cared. Nice.

I don't know if I liked that, especially the way he brought Chad's name up. He said Andre stood to benefit from Stefano's death more than anyone...anyone that is except for Chad. Does he think Chad is glad Stefano is dead? I know he wasn't implicating him, but it came across cold to me. That's the thing that bothers me the most about this story rather than the framing on Andre (who pretty much deserves it). Rafe and Hope appear to have no trouble lying to Chad and don't appear bothered by it.
Sounded to me like Rafe was throwing Chad under the bus by showing he had motive.

Honestly, it did sort of come out that way to me too, but I can't believe that was actually the writer's intention.

I, personally, liked her explanation :D .
It wasn't an accurate explanation whether you love it or hate it.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Thrady, but Nicole's explanation didn't make much sense and seemed out-of-character after the whole Basic Black saga that's been happening since the summer. She's been shown to support Theresa repeatedly and seemingly to support their relationship. I feel like they're trying to reverse that now to make either Bricole or Brammer more likely. Eh.

I actually liked the Rafe/Hope scene at the end regarding Dario and Rafe's family. I like their low key moments the most where it feels a bit less forced and more like they're friends with some attraction to each other. I was pretty apathetic about the Roman/Rafe scenes. While i get that Roman is played as a really straight detective who does the right thing, I believe that he would be willing to turn away his glance for this one, given the history of him and Stefano.

Not really. Their relationship is totally up for interpretation. You can't have a pair "fall in love" overnight, especially with their history, and expect all viewers to buy into it. Or the characters LOL

I think if it wasn`t for Hope, Roman would gleefully pin this on Rafe.

I wish he could.

What did Rafe say? I thought he said something like nobody is gong to be negatively impacted by this except for Chad. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention.

Josh Taylor's face brought us the Stacey Dash #Oscars moment of the episode. I'm not sure what I was supposed to be taking from Roman in his scenes. I guess it was just a obligatory scene to show Roman is not happy with Rafe continually doing illegal activities.
I took it the opposite way. Like it was fauxro satisfied that he figured it all out, got them to admit it to him with words said and not said, and that's the end of it. He's not gonna do anything about it.

Theresa and Brady DO have a history though. It`s not all peaches and cream but there is enough history between them to share a child at least.

Why can't they just let Daniel be dead? I absolutely hate this storyline!

So, now we have a bunch of dirty cops? Really??

Not a good day today.

He has said and shown that he loves her many times so I don't think it would be rocket science that they are bf/gf. They also share a bed,a baby and a home together.

and girl friend doesn't say, in love...but Nicole witnessed Brady planting a big kiss on Theresa more than once. I mean, her interpretation was, he with her to have a family for his son.

I wasn`t paying very close attention either and I was going to say I thought he said the opposite of that.

I thought about it for a moment and I guess I did hear it the way you did. I just took it to mean something different.

I guess I thought he meant Chad would be negatively affected because he could be seen as a suspect.

The beginning with Summer storming in manically repeating the story almost put me off on the whole episode. That was just terrible.

A lot of the dialogue today felt sloppy to me. Hope and Rafe's first scenes weren't as crisp as they could have been. I would think Rafe would be curious about the Deimos connection and the strange phone call Hope received about killing the wrong man. I didn'tlike they had him brushing that off. I suppose they wanted to show him reassuring Hope killing Stefano was just because she and her family are now safe and he didn't want her second guessing that action. Fine. That would be a reasonable point for him to make, but the detective in him should be curious about the new information. Crap writing there.

Roman and Rafe's confrontation was also poorly written. Obviously both men know each other are covering up for Hope. Without coming out and specifically stating that was the case, they could have given their reasons why in a much better way than what we heard. It didn't make sense for Roman to even put in the conversation that Rafe covered for Gabi and now he's doing it again. So what. Roman isn't taking his badge and Roman is covering too. That was a pointless statement. Better to have focused on Hope and the things she's endured and how relieved they are she is safe now because they stepped up to help her. It was good to hear mention of Andre and Stefano needing to be finally taken down. But, I'd like the conversation to show neither man feels glad about their part in this, but they are determined this has to be done this way. Script writer Carolyn Culliton dropped the ball here. This was an important scene. I needed it to be a clever and smart and it wasn't.

They really screwed up the time in LA vs Salem. Last call at the bar and Brady and Theresa being woken up by Summer when it appeared to be early evening in Salem.

JJ and Gabi are adorable. It sucks they aren't getting story to go with their budding romance. They had such little screen time today it was disappointing. They did have a lovely first time together. I liked how it was shot, very sexy! I enjoy couples in love making love and wish this were focused on more often along with flirty exchanges and sweet pillow talk. I'm happy they threw in the dancing at the club for them.

Dario and Nicole have nice chemistry from what I saw today. I liked how he offered to show her around LA and her cute responsive smile. Was the thought of catching up with her in Salem the reason he suddenly called Rafe?! Mmmmm....I hope so!

The lighter moments between Hope and Rafe at the end of the episode came across cute. I liked Hope's raised eyebrow at him. When they write charming material for them they deliver. I think it's good they are still showing what a strong friendship they have with these traces of attraction. It keeps their relationship interesting to me.

I hate feeling as though Bummer is going to be swallowing up the episodes when it's her day to be on. I dread everything about this story. I'm also fed up with all the Daniel references this story continues to bring. It's overkill. The man doesn't deserve a shrine.

So is Tate going to be walking next time we see him? I like Theresa and Brady. I think the writing for them as a couple is so much better than what we had for them individually before this new writing team took over. I don't mind angst and roadblocks thrown at them, I just think the whole Daniel's heart and Summer storyline a dud.

I don't think they are reversing anything with Thrady it would be so unrealistic since they live together and have professed their love many times. It was a case of inconsistent writing I guess. Kind of like JJ and Gabi had thear first kiss like how many times. They also said Tate is now standing up but it was also said he was doing that around new years. I'm not sure they know what they write half the time.

That was another example of the poor writing put in on that scene. Both men know Chad had no involvement. It was stupid to include his name at all. It took time away from better points the two men should have been sharing as they reached this mutual agreement to close the case.

Remember when she saw them kids through the window at the Brady pub and she had to run in a put her 2 cents worth in. She wanted to say it was because of Tate but Brady shut her down and said Theresa has attributes that he really liked and admires. The look on Nicole's face was priceless.
