Great Episode Dallas!!!
Seems like Abby might get her chance if/when Andrew and Paige do break up or at least have cracks in their relationship to make her move on him during the Gen House. I adore Cheresa, she is so upbeat and have chemistry with just about everyone she interacts with too. I'm getting excited for the Gen House storyline. Hopefully, Andrew will tell the truth about Chris and Helen unlike Max...
I think a few parts were missing so I assume that Robin slapped him when they encountered him in the studio. Yeah I don't blame Adam for feeling that way and I was glad that the way he was acting like his mother. I assume that Max knows about his mother's past crimes and shenanigans back in the day. I'm wondering how he is going to redeem himself or is he going to turn into more of a vengeful version of his mother if possible?
That meal with Greg, Brooke, Meggan and Brad was uncomfortable to say the least for Meggan who seems she still has feelings for Jeff even though she is going through with the paternity lie.
Bob trying buy a nightclub from Cory doesn't make sense to me? Is he trying to go into the nightlife business or is he trying to buy up Twin Peaks? I trust this storyline will get some more play in the future which I'm curious to see how it will go.

I definitely enjoy how some fresh stuff is opening up for summer. Some of the longer-standing threads are wrapping up or morphing into new stuff, which is always fun.
I didn't really think Adam would turn Max in to the authorities (though he probably should, knowing that he has Cassie's genes!), but it was nevertheless gratifying to see Adam and Robin rip into him for how stupid that whole scheme was. He's been fairly remorseful, so I could see him changing his ways now. But I think that darkness will always linger inside him and be tempting. Guess that job offer from Roboto sure came at a good time, LOL. It'll be interesting to see him mix it up with the other younger characters through the Gen Next House. I agree with Bre -- something was off in that first scene when Max came in, because we didn't "see" Adam or Robin appear or the slap happen. It looked like something got cut in the formatting?
OMG, Meggan is totally going to blow this charade. She's even worse at lying about this than she is at being a P.I.! I like how Brooke kind of seems like she's always side-eyeing this whole thing and sizing up Meggan and the relationship. It was fun to juxtapose those scenes of the meal with Leah and Jeff talking about how nothing can go wrong for them now. Such a soap staple. Just you two wait!
I assume the stuff with Bob wanting to buy Wild Night is setup for something coming down the road. We don't really see much of that set, so having Robbie's HQ upstairs will get some different folks interacting in a new space, which seems smart. I feel like Cory will regret selling at some point, if in fact he does...
Andrew seemed like he wanted to get caught, or at least have the truth come out, because he rolled over so quickly. He could've talked his way out of that! That Gen Next House is definitely going to be a pressure cooker with him and Paige in there, not to mention Abby. Bring it on!

Great Episode Dallas!!! Seems like Abby might get her chance if/when Andrew and Paige do break up or at least have cracks in their relationship to make her move on him during the Gen House. I adore Cheresa, she is so upbeat and have chemistry with just about everyone she interacts with too. I'm getting excited for the Gen House storyline. Hopefully, Andrew will tell the truth about Chris and Helen unlike Max... With so much going on right now with Andrew & Paige, you are right there might be an opening for Abby. At this time of the storyline it seemed fitting to put Abby into bigger storyline since the audience has had some time to get to know who she is and what she's all about. I'm glad you like Cheresa! Obviously out of all of the Lawson's, she's been on the canvas the longest but she also has a good heart - some of other members of the family have more shades of grey. I think a few parts were missing so I assume that Robin slapped him when they encountered him in the studio. Yeah I don't blame Adam for feeling that way and I was glad that the way he was acting like his mother. I assume that Max knows about his mother's past crimes and shenanigans back in the day. I'm wondering how he is going to redeem himself or is he going to turn into more of a vengeful version of his mother if possible? Yes! Thank you for point this out - not sure what happened to the scene but I'll post the full scene below (thankfully I keep the originals on my word docs). With Max not going to jail, he'll be featured more in the summer house with the other cast members his own age. We'll see what he gets up too there ... That meal with Greg, Brooke, Meggan and Brad was uncomfortable to say the least for Meggan who seems she still has feelings for Jeff even though she is going through with the paternity lie. Bob trying buy a nightclub from Cory doesn't make sense to me? Is he trying to go into the nightlife business or is he trying to buy up Twin Peaks? I trust this storyline will get some more play in the future which I'm curious to see how it will go. Bre Meggan is still conflicted by her feelings for Jeff; everything did happen quickly with Leah deciding she wanted to be with Jeff and then Jeff seemingly breaking things off with her. Brad is just there as a scapegoat of sorts right now. Brooke is kinda picking up on this. Bob wanting the club is sort of like his next version of wanting to continue the expansion of the younger demographic that he is building, starting with the GenNext House. We'll see more of this story unfold over the course of the summer. Thanks for reading! Dallas |

I will post the full scene below - thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm really not sure what happened (good old technology!). You're right though, it was kind of obvious that Adam was going to let Max go to jail for this ... the character would have been written into a corner if that had happened. But I thought that by tearing apart the father/son dynamic and moving Max into the younger crowd we still have drama and the character can continue. OMG, Meggan is totally going to blow this charade. She's even worse at lying about this than she is at being a P.I.! I like how Brooke kind of seems like she's always side-eyeing this whole thing and sizing up Meggan and the relationship. It was fun to juxtapose those scenes of the meal with Leah and Jeff talking about how nothing can go wrong for them now. Such a soap staple. Just you two wait! HA! I love how everyone is against Meggan's PI skills. She is pregnant and dealing with a lot of emotions right now but she does seem to be the weak link in this even though this lie/scheme was her idea. Brooke is clever so she might end up cluing in to what is going on ... time will tell! I assume the stuff with Bob wanting to buy Wild Night is setup for something coming down the road. We don't really see much of that set, so having Robbie's HQ upstairs will get some different folks interacting in a new space, which seems smart. I feel like Cory will regret selling at some point, if in fact he does... Andrew seemed like he wanted to get caught, or at least have the truth come out, because he rolled over so quickly. He could've talked his way out of that! That Gen Next House is definitely going to be a pressure cooker with him and Paige in there, not to mention Abby. Bring it on! The Bob/Cory stuff is the first scene in this new story ... it will sort of play out over the summer. And Robbie/Brooke's offices being upstairs will also play into the bigger arch of the storyline eventually. Andrew could have easily have covered it up but I wanted the storyline to sort of be wrapped up (at least this portion of the arch) so we can move into the GenNext House ... with these new dynamics (with both Andrew & Max), the house will have a lot of fireworks! Thanks for reading! Dallas |

Here's the full scene -- it will be uploaded on the website this Sunday!
Robertson Enterprises; The Studio
Max slowly unlocks the door to the studio and makes his way inside the darken space. He had received a text from Robin asking him to meet her at the studio because she had something urgent to discuss with him; Max is assuming it has something to do with work since she made it perfectly clear that they were over. That reality still hurts him a little bit because he really fell hard for Robin.
"Robin?" he calls out as he finds the light switch and turns it on. He turns around and sees Robin standing next to his father, with his arms folded across his chest. "Dad, Robin, what are you both doing here? You scared me half to death."
Robin slowly moves up to him and slaps him hard across the face. "You son of a bitch," she spits back to him. "I know what you've done. I know everything."
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Max asks her holding his red cheek. "Dad, you're just going to stand there while she hits me?"
"You're lucky it's her hand and not my fist," Adam comes up to him.
"I don't understand," Max replies to them. "Why are you two so mad at me?"
"We know what you did," Robin tells him as she grits her teeth. "You know your friend Brad?" Robin asks him as Max nods back to her. "He's a private investigator. I hired him to see if you were the one who caused the scaffolding to fall on Adam in the boutique."
Max feels the blood drain from his face hearing Robin's words. He can't believe that Brad played him and that he was fooled. "And guess what?" Robin continues. "I was listening to every word you and Brad said that day at the Pampa Grill because he was wired. I heard you confess! You could have killed your father! And for what? So you could try to date me? That’s disgusting!"
Max looks back at her and then over at Adam. "Dad," he starts to say to defend himself.
"Save it!" Adam yells at him. "What kind of person are you? You were so desperate to get Robin's attention that you tried to kill me?"
"I never meant for it go that far," Max replies to him quickly. "I was just trying to make you late to propose to her. It just…it all went wrong."
Adam laughs back to him. "Wrong? You think it went wrong? Damn it Max," Adam continues to yell at him. "You could have killed me!"
"I know! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"Well, I'm glad you're sorry," Adam replies to him. "But that's not good enough. Not this time!"
Max looks at him with intent. "What are you going to do now that you know? What's going to happen to me?"
"I thought you'd never ask," Robin purses her lips together as she looks up at Adam and then back over to Max.
