Sunday Surgery: Patty-Cake Patty-Cake

Um...I put this here just because I can. 

It's the final hour here, I usually do my blog well before the last minute but this week..eh. Another one of those weirdly disconnected then brilliant then paint-watching boring stretches that makes me question my afternoon choices. 

So--here we go! I'm going to try the Paleo diet with my son for a bit, so I'm having an egg white omelette and a banana.  I'll dream of tequila sunrises and muffins LOL.

Fake Out 

So, the beginning of the week dealt with the musical beds that were played out on New Year's. Alexis dreamed she was with Julian and Olivia dreamed she was with Ned. All four met in the hall and things came to a head, so to speak. *cough* 

Coffee, Tea or..??

The hot-new-couple had sex in bed...then all over the apartment. They were sure adorable.  Maxie and Lulu compared notes at the Metro. Maxie was all giggly about Nate-Sex and Lulu was all giggly about..Johnny Z!!! 

Bottom's UP!

That's right...Johnny got out of jail free by magically producing evidence that he didn't kill his Daddy. Forget the fact that it may take YEARS to get out because of that in real life but hey, no quabbles. I love Johnny. Love that they have his old apartment set up! Sans plants--because you know Anthony was the one that liked those! He was cute, and chatted up Lulu. Tried to get people to do shots with him at the Metro. Had to listen to Dante and Nate be all "Leave our Women ALONE".  We can see where this may be going. Lulu, bored to tears with Rocco and Dante, living in a tiny apartment with no job, lusts after her former bad-boy. 

Sonny talked to Morgan about the baby being his. Awww, but mostly filler. Speaking of fluff, I think Lucas made a pop-up appearance. . Too bad he's just filler because he could be big in this My Mamma and Uncle Family Drama.  Liz and Ric were filler too...but what did we get the MOST of this week? Say it with me people: UGHhhhhhhhhhh Carly and Jake The Face. 

I mean come on. Holy crap. I think they were on 4 days this week just gabbing about themselves, "Jason's history"... his flashbacks and Carly's insecurities. WTF. OK, we got it. Can you please have him move around canvas. I feel like this is Nina redux ALL OVER again. Remember her sitting in Silas' place for days on damn end? And what's going to happen? He'll prolly fall for Carly, she'll fall for him but then Sam will discover he's Jason blah blah. Sam will also be involved with Patrick. Yada yada. Maybe someone will tell Monica when it's all over. 

I got a plan

Fluke tells Carlos to kill Julian. Um, not for nothin' but when has Fluke EVER had anyone successfully kill another person? Why the hell doesn't he just do it himself? He must be sick of people not following through. So this time, Carlos can't shoot Julian so they come up with a plan. What's the plan you ask? It went something like this: 

Julian: I DID it... "Yep, I killed  Anthony Z, arrest me".  Anna: Well, ok then. And off Jerome goes to jail! I don't even think he got arraigned or had a little mini-trial. He had to get to Pentonville for the knife fight!!! He and Sonny ward off the goons and have a little bro-time. 

Meanwhile, Tracy and Ned partake of some Picalilla.and she actually tells him she prefers Olivia to Alexis. He kinda does too? Hard to tell. Anyway, she's waiting for Fluke who's over at the old Spencer house where Luke is being kept in the basement. "You smell" he says walking down the stairs. Yes, that's Bobbie and Luke's old childhood home before they were sent off to Aunt Ruby's brothel in Florida. It's on Elm Street. You know, where nightmares are made. 

Cobwebs abound

The House. We find out Luke's in the basement of his childhood home when Fluke shows him a bat he found. Around this time, the name Pat (Patricia) comes up 90 times. So does the name Bill Eckert. First Luke flips out on Bobbie at the Metro when she mentions him. Then, Ned talks about him. Then, Tracy talks about him. (She also mentions Pat when Luke comes back). Bobbie mentions him when she and Michael tour the house. So, we are led to believe that this is Bill. But you know GH-- it could also be PAT. Or, Pat could be dead. Or...or..or....
See, Patricia was mentioned like--two, three times tops on the show in 1978. That's even a stretch for me! 
Point is, it's taking forever.
FOR EVERRRRRRR.
I liked the history. I did think it was stupid that Bobbie pulled out a key and the furniture was still there after a bazillion years.  If you look in the basement, there's still soap and stuff by the laundry. Jackie Z did an awesome job acting out that scene. Reminded me of the old days. Thank you for using her in a better capacity.
By the way, Ned ended up calling Jenny, Bill's sister to find out about the house. She called Sly (Bill's kid who was also on the show). They didn't know anything about it. There was a Paul Hornsby mention in there as well. And a Frank Smith one too. My question is this: Do you still care? If you do, are you older? Because I can't imagine that younger viewers are following this or give a crap about this MUCH of ancient history, especially when it's been so long since any of the players have been on. Yes, Tony's doing a great job. The execution has just been so labored I'm ready to just have it over with. 

One of my followers (who writes online soaps himself) tweeted this to me last night:  SO interesting!!!! 

Pretty The Series ‏@prettytheseries  6h6 hours ago

@WubsNet ok didn't Julian say when he met Fluke he used the alias Peter Caspen? Rearrange the letters and you have...Pat Spencer.

SCENE OF THE WEEK: You may laugh, but I thought the Ava-Sonny run in was hysterical. I mean, there they are, in a giant state jail and BOOM! Maura was at her perfect pitch in this scene, basically telling Sonny he couldn't hurt her because she's his baby Mama. 

PROP OF THE WEEK: The Bat.. the one Fluke used to tell Luke where he was being held. 

FACE OF THE WEEK: OMG ..you slept with Julian????????

Post Script:

BABY'S NAME IS....Avery. 

But I'm still calling her Coco.
