Sunday Surgery: Half and Half

 

I did watch 1/2 the week! I was so interested in why Cyrus would cut his hair I had to tune in. Not really sure that came in the form of a concrete answer other than his desire to "transform" (literally and figuratively) into the leader of the band. 

Not going to be long or painful this week so have a seat and let me ramble! 

BIG REVEAL OF THE WEEK:  So, it appears that Cyrus Renault, Bible Boy of Western New York, is at least one of the bosses behind "Pikeman". Pikeman is a company so...I'm not convinced he's THE head honcho. That's not to say he couldn't be but something is off. Maybe that's because of the writer's strike and maybe it's because "HE" was always a "SHE" until recently. Oh those pesky pronouns!!! LOL. Anyway, Austin had a big speech about his childhood and how Cyrus would come around and make his mom "smile" (hmmm... interesting). THEN there's the thing about those two having the same damn haircut. Um.. are they SUPPOSED to look alike? Did Jimmy Lee Holt's wife step out on him? Was that first DNA test a fake?? Add into the mix that Mason was going to go 'meet' with someone and was never shown again. We shall see. 

BIGGER REVEAL OF THE WEEK: OH HOLY MOLY! I started watching again on the right day or what!!?? AUSTIN SAVED NIKOLAS and he knows he's alive??? Finally Austin gets interesting!! 

PASTA OF THE WEEK: I think I missed the whole Robert and Anna sequence but I did like the Sonny-Italian meal thing. Mo and Finola have a natural charm to them and it shows. They talk so much about the shooting and arson it could get boring but it didn't. Plus that pasta looked great. 

SPRINA OF THE WEEK:  Hey, these two got together and spent some time chatting in the Gallery. Then Spencer got a call from Esme the Albatross to about dinner. :eyeroll: He left. Portia then took his place and cried about Curtis---again. She had JUST cried about Curtis to Ava. I don't think she gets much doctoring done at GH given the way she's talking and then visiting Curtis 24-7.

DESPERATION OF THE WEEK: Gladys needs money for Wu and for Dr Mean. She has to get her Deception stock and sell some. But..... guess what!? The company is being sued for patent stealing (or something like that) and their assets are frozen. Whoopsie. 

COO-COO OF THE WEEK:  Cody, trying to act all nutty to get in to 'save' Sasha. Mac is like: Give it up..not happening. Then Cody brow-beats Sam (who's trapped in that smelly house with him) into gaining power of attorney so he can be committed. Which is a little baffling because I have NO idea how someone can  just say "Oh, yeah, commit him". But, it's a soap so I'll shut up. 

WU OF THE WEEK: In a surprisingly entertaining scene of the week, Marshall tells Wu she's outta Da Club. Selina reacts with a chilling smile and a promise to find some dirt on Hat Daddy. Here's hoping Wu sets up her own gambling/bar empire. I think they missed a step here because her running The Savoy would have been perfect. Oh well, we can't have nice things! 

CINEMATOGRAPHY OF THE WEEK: Come on.. who can't see this?? LOL. It's so poetic. 

UGH OF THE WEEK: That's all.. just.. ugh. Go protect your immune system off camera. Thanks. 

WEEK IN A WUBSHELL: 

Felicia files for a new job; patient advocate at GH 

Cyrus gets Sonny's fake computer information from Austin

Austin knows Nikolas is alive 

Cody convinces Sam to let him be "crazy" and get into Shadybrook

Tracey is giddy that Deception might tank

Gladys is desperate for money and Deception's assets are frozen

Marshall tells Wu to clear out of The Savoy

Anna is suspicious of Valentin

Nina gets a necklace from Sonny and sets a winter wedding date

Carly's blazer visits Drew in jail. 

Carly sees Dex in jail visiting Book. 

Jordan visits Curtis in rehab; hottie new PT guy notices her. 

Greg tells Elizabeth about his ALS. Still hasn't told Chase 

Molly chooses their surrogate. Krissy is angry it's not her

Brook Lynn lays into Tracey. Tracey just laughs 

They spent more money on this set (and on extras) than I've seen in a long time!! I guess it has to be like this because it's visitors central lately!! So, that's a wrap. I left a lot out but you'll get the idea of what the show was last week. They are moving way slow on the Shooting/Fire thing (all talk no action) and I'm already sick of Curtis in the wheelchair. Some scenes are still awkward and the dialog can be spot on or all over the place. This writer's strike has lasted longer than the last one and I'm wondering where this will all lead. 

Who knows if I'll make more shows next week! SO hard to believe it's the last week before school starts up again. My schedule is pretty tight and I'm going into a UPK as well. OH! And..I'm going to England at the end of September. I'd love to just buy a place over there!!
