Week Six
- Bo and Nora discuss their near-kiss, hug it out and get caught by Clint who is sick of being on the outer, but honest about it, and Bo is honest in return. “I thought you wanted the truth.” “That doesn’t mean I have to like it!” “You should have thought of that before you started dating my ex-wife.” Then Charlie gets in on the jealousy act.
- Langston and Dorian have a really good conversation about sex, which doesn’t stop Dorian from toying mercilessly with Markko, who himself starts the Condom Follies Relay, passing the baton to Dorian, who in turn passes it on to stab-happy Lola
- Poor Jack finds Todd, Blair and Tea passed out, thinks they’re all dead and then has to have a conversation with himself which is super awkward, before proving he can make a crack about McPain in any circumstances and isn’t at all stupid
- And it’s bucks and hens time. To which Natalie decided to wear a prom dress circa 1992:
which winds up being her wedding dress when she and Jared are married by John Hudson in front of no witnesses. Much like most the pre-wedding parties had no witnesses in this house because of the Morasco Fiasco turning into the Stripper Fiasco at both events
- Prom! Baby Exhumation! Wholly inappropriate prom entertainment! All on the same night! And despite exhumation taking place the same night as the dance, Starr and Cole at the Prom look happy for possibly the first time since I have been watching this show, i.e. over a year
- Langston’s dress is fabulous from the front, but when she turns around one wonders why she felt the need to accessorise with a pink apron worn backwards. Maybe she was afraid of sitting in something
- Clint over-compensates for his jealousy and the general crappiness of their relationship by proposing to Nora, but another honest conversation follows, then another proposal
- Loony Powell recreates the dorm room where Marty was raped and fesses up to the murder spree with his justification being trying to make everything up to Marty. Because stabbing the guy sleeping next to her in the bed won't traumatise her at all. He has people trussed, tied and straight-jacketed. This, naturally, results in hallucinations, head-butting, taunting and bargaining. At least they actually referenced Houdini
- As promised by some lovely people in the comments, high as a kite Lola is truly hilarious. She also fesses up to the murder we’ve known for some time that she committed
- I believe Ray plays the guitar, but even my decades long love for A Martinez isn’t getting me to watch that. Dorian tries her best to blend into the armchair so he’ll forget she’s there and stop playing:
But when the chameleon thing doesn’t work to stop the guitar, sex does. Or, as Lola would put it: sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (floaty movement)(flounce), sex
- Speaking of which, Lola and Markko are so adorably nervous and giddy and sweet and romantic and finally get down to business but I am a little distracted that (a) they used that song GH used for Jason and Elizabeth; and (b) that I know that’s the song they used for Jason and Elizabeth (weaknesses showing)
- Rebecca, for some reason, opens the door of Todd’s house where she’s holding the boys hostage. Lucky it’s her baby-switch-secret-knowing brother at the door
- Marty remembers the rape, and Tea and Blair make an ill-advised(ish) break for it
- John, appropriately, wears a black t-shirt as he goes on his rescue mission (see my upcoming dissertation: The Silent Stare-Hero Complex Paradigm: Jason Morgan and John McBain, A Comparative Study)
- Blah, blah Morasco Fiasco, still not watching
Rating for the Week: 3.75 out of 5. The serial killer story started to come to a head, there was lots of romance and plenty of sex, but the structure was suffering a bit from cramming too much into a two “day” period, with what should have been more cliff-hanger-y stories getting left aside for a couple of episodes and making the week feel a bit disjointed.
