Lawd! Melissa's scheme worked, as Andy is losing his mind as well as his sobriety. I hope Nicholas is able to get him to put the gun down and convince him this isn't the way.

One step forward, two steps back for Chris as he thought this was going to be the chance for he and Trenyce to get close. Then Simona once again never missing an opportunity to be bothersome made Trenyce once again not wanting anything to do with her biological parents. I also had forgotten the Dawn connection with Chris being the one who caused Adam's amnesia with his reckless driving.

I had to smile at Lukas and Donovan being precautious due to Chris being drunk on the road. I'm like where was this of how many of the accidents in Twin Peaks over the years. 😂

I bet seeing Dominick and Felicia will be the catalyst for Eva to start sleeping with Will again. 

And finally I like how Daisy is apprehensive regarding Brett is Brett knowing Vinny can be impersonating as him. And let's not get into DNA tests being switched out in this hospital as well. I got a feeling that this is really Vinny and Brett is really the one that died. But we'll see

Good Episode!!!

All caught up!

I'm glad Chris is acknowledging that he needs to be held responsible for his reckless and almost deadly choice, but I also can't blame Cheresa for not wanting to be involved in this mess. Having it be Dawn's parent whom Chris injured does make it even harder, I'm sure -- but Chris and Trenyce have consistently been making dumb decisions and adding to Cheresa's stress. Why *should* she make room for them in her life if it's always something new and horrible with them?!

I was pleasantly surprised that Kim acknowledged her ongoing attraction to Robbie. Frankly, I like them together much more than her and Greg. There's just always been something so smarmy about Greg, as well as him being rather pushy with her while she was still married. The idea of Kim and Robbie being together is twisted but somehow works -- he hasn't really been able to find a pairing that sticks or fully clicks, and something about Kim keeping it in the family actually works instead of being gross. I was also laughing at Robbie joining in a little at her laughing at Natasha being such a mess. I think I just love people constantly dragging her! (Her being upset about Tyler returning to Daisy was fine, although it's hard to believe she was THAT invested in what was basically a few hook-ups. I think she just is desperate to connect with someone and he fit the bill for the time being.)

Cory's being a real ass, so I was glad Leah stood up to him. These ultimatums for people to ignore the exes with whom they share children are crazy! At least when Robin did it, Helen was out of control; Jeff has just kinda been a little snake. I do foresee a great big mess coming when Jacob inevitably gives in to temptation from Cassie, and we'll have Leah and Jeff in the mix chomping at the bit. I fear Paige is going to get her heart ripped out once again... which might finally prove that she doesn't need to run headlong into these relationships, but should maybe take her time and feel them out first.

Thank goodness Daisy is being cautious and not just believing this is Brett. I don't buy it, but I'm curious to see where this is all going!

It certainly does seem like Melissa's plan is working. We will see if Nicholas is able to get through to Andy or if this will have a tragic ending in the upcoming episodes!

I really like that Chris is taking ownership of his actions because he did cause this accident that could have left Adam, or himself, dead. The Dawn connection was important to me because of her connection to Cheresa. But you're right, this is another event that has Cheresa questioning her connection to her bio-parents. And yes, there have been a lot of accidents over the years …. Too many to keep track of!

You're right, this could be the thing that pushes Eva back into Will's arms because seeing Dominick with Felicia has always been a trigger for her. We will see if that's the case soon.

Once the DNA tests come back, we will learn which twin is alive and which is dead and the storyline will move forward. For now, it's sort of fun having this mystery of not knowing if Brett or Vinny is in the hospital room.

I wanted Chris to be responsible and take ownership of the situation because it does seem to be in his character. The best part about this is that it has created more conflict between Chris/Trenyce and Cheresa, especially because Dawn's father was impacted. This is also a nice way to bring Cheresa and Dawn back together, so we will see how that unfolds.

I'm so glad you're vibing on the Robbie/Kim pairing because, like you, I wasn't sure how it would feel writing them because of their history together but they just seem to click for whatever reason. While I do think Kim has a connection with Greg, they started on the path of her using him to get information on Felicia, so it hasn't always seemed as genuine as the Robbie/Kim pairing. And yes, I like having the lines about Natasha (or anyone) that speaks for the audience, especially since she is being hypocritical with Jacob and Paige because she's banging Tyler.

That's part of the fun of having so many exes on the canvas at once is that you're bound to have a bond that the new partner wouldn't like, so in some ways, Cory and Jeff are in the same boat but they are just going about it differently.

And you're right, Jacob does have a connection to Cassie and she has made it clear she wants him. The fun thing about Cassie is that she tends to get what she wants … so will she get Jacob? Or how fall will she go to get him?

Daisy and everyone that was in the mansion when it exploded are cautious when it comes to the alive twin. I love the mystery of who is alive and who isn't … but when the truth comes out, the next phase of this story will begin.

Thank you both for reading! Appreciate it as always
