Today's show was pretty good:

This Trevor/Kate/Sonny/Ric etc story is rather intereresting....so far. I'm pleasantly surprised that Ric warned Kate about his father's dark side. I also liked Kate's observations about how bitter Ric is (as well as her wardrobe choice).

Spin is annoyingly defensive of Sam imo. Does she have to kill someone for him to realize she's really, really messed up? Yeah, he said something about her needing help, but she's beyond it imo. She IS manipulative, cruel and devious. WAKE UP.

I'm going to enjoy watching Lucky find out, and I'm sure he will, that Sam: watched Jake get kidnapped and did nothing, hired thugs to scare Liz and the kids, AND knew the truth about Jake's paternity--not to mention the rest of her games.

I LOVED the end, when Sam came stumbling into her home, and Jason turned on the light and said very quietly (but scarily) that they need to talk. I can't wait to see this.

Liked the Liz/Em conversation. Carm- it seemed to address some of the things we've been talking about: Is Liz staying out of obligation and/or habit (yep), and Em's point that it is possible to have an emotional affair. I really liked all that. Liz doesn't appear to be ready to acknowledge the above, but it is been addressed-- and when it is, Emily isn't being judgmental, which is nice. I liked that.

I find Lucky way too pathethic, needy and whiny. I can't feel sorry for him. He does it too well on his own.
