Sunday Surgery: BOGEY

 

I tried to find a golf term for this week because I really need to talk (again) about the lack of follow through on this show. It's getting to be SO maddening!!  The other word would be: chaos. A lot happened but it was a messy watch.

Granola and fruit might be your best bet for today ...and a strong cup o' JOE!! 

Let's GO GO! 

THE FIGHT:  So, on Friday we left Isaiah down on the ground with his arm hurt. Monday, Curtis is at the PCPD after being arrested by NuCop "Joe" and is whining it was all Isaiah's fault. Meanwhile, Isaiah is in GH finding out he has 11 broken bones in his hand and a bunch of tendon stuff going on. We leave with the camera on his stunned face. Later, Joe is concerned that Curtis is 'too connected in town" and tells Dante he might not stay on the force. Dante assures him that the PCPD IS NOT CROOKED and how dare he. Curtis then waltzes out because...I guess his bail hearing magically appeared in the 2.3 seconds off camera. Jordan with the scarf helped with that. Then... well, no follow up on the hand situation or Curtis finding out he may have ended Isaiah's career. Also see: the kid waiting for that liver that Isaiah was going to operate on. You know, the one we saw once, then a few weeks later was all of a sudden Curtis' priority? *sigh* 

THE GIRL IN THE BUBBLE: Joss is in that room, playing Gin Rummy with Cassius (can anyone tell me the fixation with cards on this show?). First she tries to mind-psyche Cassius and when that doesn't work, whams him in the face with a chair. He gets up and stops her from going. BUT WAIT! She shows him Anna's message behind the bed!! He knows Anna was there but that's about it. Later, Joss finds shards that Anna wrapped up and put in the mattress. That cleaning crew is hella bad down there. 

THE SAGA OF ANNA:  It seems Anna escaped from her care facility briefly and then stole a car. The one good thing about this day was that Mac was on for a hot minute! They deliver the news to Emma who is crying over a mug she made for Gram at age 10. They tell her Anna's going to a criminally insane prison in France. People cry more. Laura gets the bright idea to ask Willow who seems to have turned into a diplomat overnight. She gets the charges dropped against Anna, she's back in her original place and can be free when her treatment is done. 

THE GUY IN THE ATTIC:  Valentin learns of Anna, gets upset and Carly gets all jelly. BIG JEALOUS. She seems to forget that Jason is HER Anna and she'd do anything for him. Val wants to go to France to save her but the teens interrupt that because ... they are teens. 

THE TEEN SCENE: Rocco continues to freak out over the shooting and Charlotte and Danny bring out out a doofus plan to go to Wyndemere to get "evidence".  Rocco tries to tell them he will tell on them if they go. They do not care. Taking Jason's speed boat from the Q's, they ride over to the island. What do they hear when they get there? Just Britt talking about the entire plan to get the Cold Fusion on line 'tomorrow' and see her getting injected in the stomach by Cullum. It was very handy to have those French doors open a crack!! Do they leave to go get the police or something? HELL NO!! They sneak in, talk in normal voices in the living room, then galivant down the hall. Who catches them but--Cullum! By the way, if Char knows that place like the back of her hand, why didn't she go through the tunnel entrance in by the fireplace? Anyway--Cullum threatens them but Sidwell and Ava walk in. Ava calls Alexis and it's all sorted. Danny's in trouble again and Charlotte disappears into her bedroom or wherever she goes when they don't want her around. 

THE ROCCO MESS: Now, all of this IS tying together but getting there was a long and winding road. Lulu decides Rocco will have to leave PC and gets Ethan to gather them up fake passports. Dante's over arguing with Cassius about what to do and Rocco is out getting Laundry Detergent (yep!). When he gets home, no one is there and he takes the passport. "Tyler Anderson" then goes to Britt...his 'birthing mother" to get some advice/help and to get out of town. Can he go with her?? Britt says OF COURSE NOT! But, then she says ok after a lot of crying and pleading. Just as they are about to leave, Elizabeth comes in and gets clocked in the head and put in the closet. (Dante will find her later). In the parking lot, Britt calls Sonny to tell him about Sidwell killing Dalton -which is really OLD news and destroys their phones. Why she didn't tell Sonny that Cullum killed Marco is a whole other mystery. I mean... um... ?? huh? So those two are out on the lam and...we shall see. How Britt will EVER have a job after all of this is anyone's guess. 

THE GUY THAT CAN'T MOVE: If you tried to follow this story this week you were spinning around like a top. Nina was busy having lunch with Ava, acting all nervous and finally goes in to give Brennan his injection. He opens his eyes. Do we get a follow up the next day? NOPE. It takes another 2 days to realize that Nina must have gotten spooked by that and didn't do the deed because she's back in GH with Willow to finally inject him. BUT! Her plan is foiled first by skulking Cullum and then Jack actually being able to talk. Well, Nina can't do it and tosses the needle in the bin. She's all of a sudden SO concerned about Jack and feels SO badly her usual cunning nature is just turned off.  I smell a deal coming between the two of them. 

Japan!

THE ART:   This is going to sound simple but my fave part of the week was thinking that Ava and Alexis might team up over the Art Mystery!! Yep. Two great actresses doing something intriguing is just the ticket. Maybe they can include Trina? Please? Alexis finds out that the tattoo Delilah had on her was the mark of a Japanese Artist who was also shown in a gallery in Manhattan. The Gallery was on the list found in Delilah's bag. In the meantime, Brook is still getting her guilt face on over the accident and worried she'll be found out. We all know she will, just not how long it will take. AND-- will that art tie into Elizabeth's sketches? 

THE CONFRONTATION: Pascal finally pops up again and gets in Lucas' face. He's wearing Marco's tie and Lucas doesn't like it one bit. Pascal blames Lucas for Marco's murder and Lucas rightly points out it's Pascal's ratting out of Britt and the meds that got him killed. Good scene that really didn't lead very far. Pascal must have an upstairs attic room because we never see him much. 

OTHER THINGS: 

Laura gave her blessing for Lulu to pull a Spencer and leave with Rocco

Ric and Liz went on their Hudson Valley Vacation--seemingly overnight. 

NuCop Joe is suspicious over the PCPD and I'm thinking someone he knows was wronged by Curtis back when Curtis was on coke and working as an officer. 

Ethan held Baby Phoebe, making us think the link between them could be stronger.

ADA goes to SONNY to talk about Curtis' case. Asks for his advice. This takes place in their love nest above Charlies. I laugh. 

Sage Sonny also gave Gio some life advice but it was so boring I forgot what it was about. 

A funny: They "blacked over" the Mercedes logo when Britt was driving the car. 

Nina was a responsible criminal and put the filled syringe in a hazmat container

QUESTIONS: 

Why didn't Pascal tell Sidwell about Joss being in the basement? He helped move her and isn't loyal to Cassius so..? What's that deal? 

Why were Molly and Krissy on Friday's show talking about how wonderful Cody is? I felt like she was either going to be told she was pregnant or Cody was going to die. Weird. 

Where the hell is any security at Wyndemere? They have Cold-Fusion stuff going on and....nothin'

Is Liesl out at some conference again? Because... she should be knee deep in this. 

Is Cassius  good guy or a bad guy and why don't I care? 

INFORMATION: Britt did not run over both phones-- and I suspect her phone call to book the flight to Berlin is still on hers. 

RUMOR:  Ryan Paevey (Nathan/Cassius)  is leaving GH again. He just joined The Great American Family Channel to film "Christmas in Moose Lake" . That doesn't mean he's leaving GH but has put that question out there. 

So most everything happening this week was important and there were a lot of  'got cha moments' but I feel like GH is a huge spinning wheel; I'm waiting for the sections to click in place and it either takes so long or is so choppy, I just can't quite give it a glowing review. The editing certainly needs work for SURE --because one night lasted about 7 working days and then --BOOM next day with cliffhangers around. We never did get to see Willow/Michael/photos/office ending (if there was an ending)--and Nina must have left Jack hanging from the opening eyes scene. I'm also feeling like they have no clue what to do with Kristina-- oofff, she's just around at he weirdest times. The ADA/Sonny story is also just making me giggle. I feel like they are teenagers with a secret love-nest or at the very least 2 people having an affair behind their spouses backs. Neither one is true. Valentin is in the attic--Drew is in the bedroom--Joss is in the chamber--now Brennan is trapped in GH. So many people not moving around the canvas. Anna bet get home or rescued soon. It's just teeww much. 

That's all I have for you today!! Hope your weekend wasn't as soggy as mine!!
