Well, that was quite an episode.

I've given this plotline with Robert a lot of thought- probably too much thought.lol And I think I get what this is ultimately ALL about: What is his first priority-- family or career? Courtney said he put career first. Now, we're seeing that clearly. I don't think Robert realized it until he talked with Sofia and saw how much he didn't know about her life. That fueled his rant to Travis about what he's sacrificed for this and why he needs to kick this campaign into high gear. He was pretty angry at himself. He's not proud of himself at all.

As for what he said to Kitty. I think he still thinks the timing is off. But, he loves her. Maybe he'll eventually see this as a chance to get it right. Maybe he already does, but I can't tell for sure. But, I think his journey is learning to put family first all the time, not some of the time (which we've seen him do- especially with Justin). IOW, it's not just about the baby. It's EVERYTHING.

Moving on....

I think they rushed Justin's intervention a tad. DA was wonderful though. I just think it was over and done with a bit too fast. I did like him lashing out. That was real.

I really liked seeing Tommy and Kevin TALK. Tommy never really talks with his siblings. So, Kevin opened up about what's really going on with Jason (ie - he never calls) and admits to being lonely. Tommy tells him the truth about him and Lena. Good stuff. I didn't expect Kev to really call him on the carpet about Lena; the tone of the scene didn't call for it imo. But, someone should. Oh and maybe Jason and Robert both have problems with careerism. Maybe Jason gets wrapped up in what he's doing, rather than calling his boyfriend.

I LOVED Nora realizing she needs to stop babying Justin. I hope she sticks to it because she needs to. I loved seeing her lock the door, then follow that up by addressing the issue head on at the end. She has consistently made excuses for him and enabled him. It does need to stop.

I thought Saul's "coming out" was handled well. It was quiet, understated, and powerful. I liked what he said about being lonely, about how her family wasn't his. (ie he's not Justin's father) Well done. I'm glad they didn't make it some big, dramatic moment.

The previews were great. I was lol that they're already promoting the: Will Kitty and Robert get married or won't they? And what's on Kitty's mind at the alter? I tend to think the wedding will happen, but tptb are doing a good job of making us wonder.

Also-- I loved her mini-rant about how he's had the ceremony before, had the first dance before. Seemed very real.




ETA- Looks like we get 12 episodes, instead of just 11!!!!!!!! Yea! I hope this strike is resolved soon. I don't want to be left hanging for months on end.
