OMG, how did I not make the connection between Mallory Cunningham and Dale? That was sitting right out in the open. What a fun use of history. I wasn't reading ODAAT regularly back then, so my brain didn't immediately go there, but it's a great way to utilize a thread from the past. I'm curious to know if Dale has targeted Helen or if this is all just a coincidence. (Are Adam, Helen, and Dale still standing at that door shouting? LOL. Everyone else has done so much in the time they've been there!)

This entire situation with Frederick/Eva/et al is so twisty and turny. Abby pretending to care about Felicia's well-being now is very soapy. I like that Abby does some vixen-like things but she isn't a villain, per se. She's conflicted and kind of stumbling forward as best she can, while making poor/unethical decisions. And while it makes perfect sense that Tyler thinks Felicia has gone off the deep end again, I like that Dominick is wondering if what she's saying could be true. It's clear this is all going to culminate at Raven's Meadow, which seems appropriate!

I really wish Daisy would open up to someone -- anyone!!! -- about her abortion and the dark path it's taken her down. Trenyce wouldn't judge her for having an abortion, but she might judge her for going into sex work as a way to cope with her depression. And I'm worried about Antonio targeting Robin now. He seems to see her differently than he does Daisy, but he's coming at her with that same hyper-focused energy. Especially considering that she's pregnant and has a young child at home, this could get ugly. But it might give Cory a chance to be a hero.

I'm dying to see how Cassie reacts to Shane's pretty overt seduction attempt. She does actually seem pleased and flattered by the turn in his attitude, but making a move on her is another story.

I figured Tyler was going to suggest that they get Felicia back into Raven's Meadow since he thinks she is having another mental breakdown in addition to Sonja and Eva being held hostage there too. Meanwhile, I like that Dominick is torn between what he is being told and slowly putting pieces together as Abby is determined to keep him from knowing the truth but isn't going out to be malicious about it, except by drugging him. Then again, I find myself mentally yelling at my computer screen at Tyler and Dominick that this isn't the first time someone who was dead in Twin Peaks has turned out to be alive, i.e., Leah for starters. 🤣

Yeah, something tells me that Antonio is dangerous to all the women he comes across, i.e., Daisy and now Robin. I've got a feeling Cory is going to become suspicious of Antonio in the coming weeks.

And of course, Soap 101 when one couple is happily together a wrench is usually thrown in the middle i.e., Nicholas, Andy, and Clayton. Not to mention Melissa is still out there too, and I doubt she will be happy about her son marrying Andy.

Something tells me Shane's seduction of Cassie won't go to plan as either someone will interrupt them or Cassie will turn him down. 

Good Episode!!!

Yes, it is the same scene/day for this trio! And I am glad that you forgot (or weren't reading as consistently back then) because it did add for more a shock value with the reveal. As for Dale's motives behind his romance with Helen, this will really be the next chapter of the story. Adam will suspect fowl play while Dale will try to convince Helen he means no harm ... so it will go back and forth.

I am so glad to hear that about Abby because that's how I'm trying to write her; she isn't a true villain, but she definitely will bend her moral code to get what she wants, like drugging Dominick to prevent him from remembering what happened. She is making bad decisions but does have good intentions in many ways. And yes ... there's many things coming at Raven's Meadow

You're right, Daisy does need to talk to someone, but she is harbouring a lot of shame and guilt and that is turning into this sex-worker situation. Antonio is really not helping the situation, but he is a man that gets what he wants. He always saw Daisy as a way to make money whereas his desire for Robin is more from a romantic place. And now Robin and Cory are growing closer so there's a wrinkle in his way which could be a dangerous situation.

And next episode we see, via flashback, what happened with Cassie & Shane because we, finally, will see a new day in Twin Peaks!

Thanks for reading!

When creating this part of the story, I thought, once again, that having so many players at Raven's Meadow would just create this chaos. So we will have Frederick, Will, Eva, Victoria, possibly Felicia all there ... I mean, what could go wrong? Dominick is struggling with this because deep down he knows that what Felicia is saying is true, he is just being medicated to make him forget. It will be interesting to see what happens next ...

Good Episode!!!

Antonio is a man that likes to get what he wants; he wanted to make money off Daisy but he has romantic desires for Robin, which could put her in harms way if she doesn't fall for him. And she's growing closer to Cory, which Antonio might not like.

YES! I love that Clayton is back just as the boys announcement their engagement ... it was the classic time to bring him back to the fold and see what type of drama unfolds as a result.

We will see next episode what happened between Shane & Cassie via flashback because it was, finally, time to have a new day start in the city. lol

Thanks for reading!
