Dishing The Soaps!

I’m probably the only one that sometimes wonders about the titles. June? Um isn’t it December? I look outside the window and it looks horrible so it is December although that evil white stuff can show up then. It is just unnatural. I’m confused again. Yes that’s a shocker isn’t it? David should have called that cop and told him about the necklace while Michael was in Rome. I’m thinking he probably screwed a few chicks while he was there. His latest wife is a total moron. But no David steals the bloody necklace because he wants to give it to the police. Even I know it would have been better to leave it where it was and then call but he didn’t ask me.

I wonder if the rounds Lauren was talking about involed her hooking. She turned him down when he invited her to his place. I did want to slap her when she refused to believe what a total asshole Michael is. She was being so clueless but she knows now. He warned her that Michael would try to screw with her career because he wasn’t happy finding out that David stole the necklace. I wonder if this is the necklace which if you ask me is ugly that Amanda’s after. So Michael set up Lauren claiming that she was prescribing blood thinners to some guy that was going in for heart surgery a little thing that wasn’t mentioned. She thought it was her mistake but no that would be Michael being Michael. So funny because if you go back to the very first episode you’ll see a sweet Michael.

I guess Caleb’s gone now so I’m hoping Victor goes back to Days since I wouldn’t mind Nicky showing up after all his Auntie Viv is there so why not have another Alamain in town. Amanda goes to Michael to ask about whatever it is that she’s looking for. Peter was mentioned so I wonder if he’ll be turning up although Jack’s on The Bold And The Beautiful. So now she’s moving into Sydney’s place while her home is built. I wonder if Rick will be building it.

I guess crazy runs in the family since Violet’s brother/boyfriend is a nutter too. Violet ends up paying Riley back for bailing her out but she isn’t happy about her blowing the whistle on Auggie who is still in jail. Well the IMs he sent would make anyone wonder about things and she wanted to cover her ass. But I guess they’re even now since Riley came to the rescue when Violet’s brother showed up at her place wanting to stay. She paid him off and he left or so they thought. Instead he just spied and ended up at Riley’s place later where he was about to trash the place.

So Jonah’s camera got broken but Violet came with a baseball bat and scared him off. He’s a junkie and claims that being with Violet would allow him to be clean again. Um wouldn’t that be something that you have to do yourself since another person isn’t going to keep you clean? Maybe Violet has special powers after all she stopped Auggie from drinking with some sex. That’s just creepy that her brother is also her boyfriend or I guess ex boyfriend. Hello Passions moment. Yeah I know they’re adopted but still that’s icky like a man that decides to marry his adoptive daughter.

Jonah ends up working as the new IT guy at WPK and ends up getting asked to do a favor for Ella. She wanted to find out what Amanda thought of her after all Amanda is her hero. She finds out that she just needs to get more clients which is no biggie for her since she’s all about her career. Jonah ends up liking the spying thing so he reads an email about the video where he didn’t get the credit so he finds out that Ella didn’t fight for him like she said she would. I think it was just a case of her agreeing because it wouldn’t have changed things in the long run since she didn’t have the final say. I do think she was being honest with him about her mother and ooh I’m liking the looks of next week’s episode where it looks like he gets very friendly with Ella and Riley gets the boot. Can you hear someone cheering? That would be me. He’s screwed because he quit his new job and his camera’s busted which he can sort of blame on Riley.

For a second there it looked like Lauren was being a stupid bitch because she told Michael that she was worried about David. She also told him that she was going to be out with him so Michael decided to stop by and pay a little visit wearing gloves so he could steal the necklace about. What is the deal with this necklace? The thing is ugly. But it turns out that Lauren decided to trust David so the cops were called and Michael was arrested. This wasn’t the only excitement because just after David mentioned Michael getting arrested Amanda came in and announced that she was moving in. I guess Auggie’s going to be released now. So I’m still clueless about who killed Sydney. I’m leaning towards Sydney.

Amanda’s back so she’s the W in WPK. I did wonder what it stood for although me and acronyms aren’t exactly friends. Caleb gets fired and he tries warning Ella about Amanda who Ella wants to be. So is that the end of Victor on Melrose Place and a potential for him to go back to Days? I wouldn’t mind another Alamain showing up in Salem. It’s not like Caleb had a story. Sure he liked Anton but nothing was shown. Did they even go out? Maybe I missed that part. Sadly he was never shirtless which is such a crime.

Amanda doesn’t like the real people campaign although I’ll admit that Jonah was pretty adorable because he was so excited about Riley being on a bus and in a magazine. Too bad it was Riley since she’s about as appealing as dishwater although I’ll admit that she’s pretty. Since her bio wasn’t appealing a fake was created and she went along with it to get paid. Um shouldn’t have have been paid already? Since she couldn’t keep up with the lying she won’t be getting paid now.

Amanda decided to test Ella with Melissa who offered Ella a job and there was some kissing too. Ella turned her down although she admitted to enjoying the kissing. It turns out that Ella doesn’t want to be as much like Amanda as she thought. She refused to tattle on Riley who used sick days for the week it took to get the pictures. But Amanda called the Principal and Riley got fired. Looks like Jonah has to do the accounting thing now.

Now I did think it was too obvious that Auggie killed Sydney. Yes his blood was on the knife but that’s because he was stabbed but David woke up with the knife. So who was being set up? I’m thinking that Violet is the one that killed Sydney. Because of David who jumped to the Michael conclusion he did some snooping. He found Sydney’s bloody necklace in Michael’s car and she was in the car so she could have planted it there. Michael’s wife is a stupid bitch. Uh he cheated on his other wives so she wouldn’t he cheat on you too? Hello he did. How odd he was in Rome at a medical conference and I’m thinking he probably screwed someone there too.

Hey LA has seasons but they are just more subtle and free of that evil white stuff although it does show up in California so you don’t have to go far if you’re insane and like the stuff. I don’t get it myself but people like it for some reason. David was sweet since he got a bunch of leaves that he put in the apartment along with some special chili called Skyline. But thing things started heating up Lauren pulled away. I’m thinking having a relationship while hook just might be a wee bit tricky. He was sweet about it and Ella declared him a cheeseball at least I think it was a cheeseball.

Auggie isn’t doing too well since pretty much everyone assumes he killed Sydney. Well he did stab a guy so it doesn’t look good. But I think Riley was the one that hurt him the most since she turned him in. The whole I ruined my life thing had to do with taking a swing at Marchello. Is that spelled right? Maybe there isn’t a h but I just find myself putting one in. He had a bottle of booze but Violet stopped him and they had sex instead. So instead of reaching for the bottle when you get the craving have sex with a psycho that’s probably a killer.

Yes I’m having another duh moment since the title puzzled me although I guess it could be referring to Auggie running off to Mexico on a supposed surfing trip. They found out it was Auggie’s blood on the murder weapon but even after finding that out Riley didn’t buy it. Does she need a video of the murder? that’s pretty damning evidence.

Sure there’s a chance that Auggie didn’t do it since David was there too but I think Auggie left the knife behind to make David think he did it and he hid it but the question I want answered would be who found the knife and handed it over to the cops. Oh shame on you Riley you’re a teacher using u instead of you. That’s only two letters. So after getting the IM where Auggie admits to ruining his life she gets scared and toss in the fight that Violet was only too happy to mention made her realize that Auggie very likely killed Sydney. Well someone give her a cookie for finally getting a clue.

Violet gets a court date and goes to Michale for help after all the one you’re blackmailing kind of has to help you out in instances like this. Since she’s a newbie at the blackmailing thing she’s not going to get any more money and had to delete the video to get her case thrown out. She even ended up asking Lauren about moving in with her and Ella. Yeah right like that’s going to happen.

David decides to spend a little time with Noah which was sweet but things went bad when Noah fell. Hey that could have happened anywhere. He was climbing the fence. It was just an accident. So he rushed the little guy to the hospital and stayed with him. He could have left but he didn’t. What the hell is her name anyway? Vanessa? They weren’t happy. If they allowed David to see his brother this could have potentially been avoided and that chick would still have her job., So far Michael’s latest wife is a yawner.

Lauren’s still hooking and I guess that might be the reason she pulled away when David kissed her. She seemed bored when she was with her latest John although that grand to stay had to perk her up a bit. Ella totally knows what she’s doing although she’s pretending not to since she asked if she was okay unless I’m reading into something that isn’t there although I’m pretty sure it is.

Since Ella’s clueless about this Franz guy she calls Jonah for help. He was thinking of going on a road trip while Riley was thinking of the two of them going somewhere together. He instead goes to meet Ella. He’s a fan of this guy but after Jonah sees him groping Ella he pretends to be Ella’s fiancee. They would be adorable together. Hell even Caleb finds Jonah adorable. The guy bought it hook, line, and sinker. Ella even suggested they take each other for a test drive and mentioned a hotel. Oops that didn’t go anywhere and that somehow magically cleared things up. Uh were they holding hands? Did I miss part of the episode where Riley and Jonah made up?

I think once again the name’s gone over my head. That’s just further proof that lack of oxygen to the brain is making me dumber by the day. Now David’s remembering that night and it is looking like he’s the one that killed Sydney. Am I confused but wasn’t Auggie taking a bloody shower on that night? David remembered waking up with the bloody knife and he ran off to bury it in an empty lot.

The cop is still bugging David but he wants Ella at least as an accessory since I’m guessing he likes the PI for the murder. Who knows if he actually has anything. He wants David to tell him that he wasn’t with Ella which would be a lie since he was at least for part of the evening.

Jonah ended up having a good time with what’s her face. It took an hour for him to actually fess up to being engaged but that was after they kissed. But he felt so bad about it that he told Riley right away unlike her. She felt it wasn’t worth mentioning which makes you wonder. If it wasn’t a big deal why did she bother to keep it a big secret and not mention it when she was given the chance. I sense the end of these two and I have to admit that I’m not sorry about that since I still don’t like Riley. Now I wouldn’t mind her leaving. Is he really ready to take the plunge? I don’t want him doing any plunging with her. Okay that just sounds dirty.

Auggie makes some dish and I wonder if thyme is always pronounced so weirdly because that’s not how I say it. Marcello is such an asshole. He claimed he didn’t like it and that he wouldn’t add it to the menu but when that guy showed up he pretended like it was his creation. I guess all bigwig cooks are major assholes. Sure he’s cute but he’s such a dick. I’m not going to eat something called coos coos or whatever the hell it was. It sounded like that so I’m not sure about the spelling since that can’t be the spelling or is it? Who knows sometimes I surprise myself and spell something right that I’m unsure of.

Oops Lauren isn’t too smart leaving her hooking money in the closet where her roomie can just find it when she’s snooping around. I wonder if the doctor she was talking about Lauren potentially sleeping with was Michael after all he’s married and this wouldn’t be the first time he’s cheating on one of his many wives. Yesterday I watched the very first episode and Michael was so sweet back then.

Caleb was working the plaid porn. Wow color me shocked when Ella suggested telling the truth. Say what? She couldn’t get Lauren to change the form to make it look like the guy who overdosed on coke actually had an allergic reaction to penicillin. Shit if you offer me fifty thousand dollars I’ll do it but that would first require airfare. Hell I’d have said yes at the couple thousand. How ironic that she’s hooking which I’m pretty sure would also be a felony but she turns down Ella’s generous offer to get some money to pay her tuition. Maybe she likes the hooking. Damn I wish I had fifty grand for walking around money for a week. Hell I’d be fine with that for a month even. Right on Ella for standing up for your friend the doctor not the nurse as Caleb kept calling her. Not nice dude even if you are incredibly hot.

David does have a motive for killing Sydney. He wonders if he might have done it. Well he did figure out that Sydney targeted him at the cemetery when he was visiting his mother I think. And he did wake up in bed with a bloody knife. So now I’m confused. Um didn’t Auggie have a bloody shower in the first episode? I thought he was the one that did it. But I do wonder who took the bloody knife that he buried in that empty lot. Good thing no one saw him because how would he explain himself digging like an insane person.

While I agree that Marcello deserves to be punched I think Auggie went a little overboard. I agree with Violet in the whole food plagiarism thing but I guess when you aren’t the cooking guy in charge you get screwed over just as often as the top dude wants to. And I do agree that Auggie and Riley do the whole googley eyes thing so he was right about that but Auggie lost it when Marcello was his regular jackass self. Oops I don’t think we should be hanging out anymore but hey Violet is very much into getting more up close and personal with Auggie.

Riley goes with Jonah to film a wedding. I guess you can tell when soemthing is bothering Jonah because he doesn’t stop for the comic book stores. He ends up confessing about the kiss because he feels like crap. Please put a fork in Riley this should be done because I just don’t like her. But I have to admit that I hate Annie even more. I guess it’s more boredom and annoyance with this chick while with Annie it’s just seething hatred. Who knows she might grow on me? Maybe not but I’ve surprised myself with ending up liking someone that I originally didn’t like if that makes any sense at all.

I guess Jonah doesn’t want a band at his wedding. He does have a point. Is it wrong that I’m hoping there isn’t a wedding? Hell Ella has a thing for him and I love her unlike Riley who just bores me to tears. So was I the only one that was actually bored by this wedding? I guess I’d only start crying if the thing didn’t end. But which career are you talking about Lauren?

Marcello or however the hell you spell it is a total dick. I do agree with that. I’d suggest Shooters if he wants to look for another job. Does Violet ever sleep with someone that wasn’t involved with her mother? Is she going to go after David next? Okay they haven’t revealed whether or not Auggie slept with her but of course she slept with Michael. So is she really the daughter or not? Oops who dug up the knife? Was it Auggie? Now the knife is off to the lab.

Gee what a not shock that Riley gets all bitchy. He didn’t ask her to stop seeing Auggie that was all her. And she shouldn’t be expecting him to give up Kendra especially when she’s business for him. He shouldn’t have to give up a chance to get his movie out there. No sweetie Riley sucks and fighting with her sucks double since she’s just annoying. I think he might be annoyed with her too. Too bad there isn’t a slap button because I’d be slapping her around a bit.

Okay I’m not sure if I agree with you Ella since I’m not really liking Riley. Sure she’s a knockout but I just don’t like her although I did for a little while. I want to like her or I did but nope I’m going with the bitch angel. Gee what a shock she isn’t cut out for modeling but I have to say Jo and I’m channeling British for a moment you were out of order being so mean to Riley and I’m not really liking Riley. Did that make any sense? Please inform me of those moments when I actually do because they are few and far between.

At least she wasn’t wearing that horrible seat cover thing as a shirt. Oh yes I’d wear that to the beach. Speaking of clothes what was going on with that hat? I think it might have grown on me but oh my of all the hats in the world why did you have to land on Ella’s head? They certainly have an interesting wardrobe for Ella don’t they? I guess when you go to the beach put on a ginormous hat and if you’re lucky you too can have it be orange. I keep thinking of fruit and yes this time it would be an orange and before there was that banana dress. What was going on with that belt? Maybe if the belt wasn’t there and the hat was gone it wouldn’t be so bad but somehow Katie pulled it off. Of course it doesn’t hurt that she’s gorgeous because I know I’d just look like a big stupid orange if I could actually squeeze into that thing. Oh the thought just terrifies me.

Well it doesn’t look like Daphne’s going to be coming back since they just had Jo pop in to snap some photos and go off to help starving children or something. I guess she’s a sell out too. Shit if someone gave me ten grand I’d do the same thing. I dare you to say you wouldn’t and it looks like Jo is no different. At least one picture worked. I’m guessing it was the I’m pissed off at you bitch. I wouldn’t be surprised if things came to an end with Jonah and Riley. She keeps going to Auggie instead of her fiancee.

So Jonah’s new movie is backwards. That would be like that stupid episode of Seinfeld oh wait they’re all stupid where it was backwards. What’s wrong with starting and ending instead of finishing only to begin. He ended up meeting a chick from the old neighborhood. I thought he wasn’t go to go to get drinks with her. This is the second time a girl’s asked him out but this time he totally went after finding out what a big liar Riley is. That was nice bluffing Auggie into revealing the kiss. Of course Violet played her part in planting a seed but hell the seeds were already there after all he has that image of the two burned into his retinas of them being all cozy although Auggie of course said it was just about being upset about Sydney.

Auggie mentions the kiss which leads to Jonah confronting Riley. He gives her the chance to fess up because of course she never mentioned it. See Auggie you’ve been bluffed. She lies and later ends up finding him gone. I think she took a shower or something. He sends her a text saying he went for a walk but of course he totally went to meet that girl. So there might be trouble in paradise after she has a little chat with Jo who shows up and mentions having lived in the building. So is this the end of the two? Man I hope so. Maybe Ella will have a chance with Riley out of the picture since she so has a thing for him.

David offers to help Lauren out with a loan. That would be nice because she could stop hooking although there’s always more tuition. She gets suspicious of things in his apartment but I’m thinking the gloves were a big red flag. Don’t leave out your robbing gear where someone could just walk in and find it. He claimed he was going to buy a house. Yeah right dude maybe you should work on your lying. Instead she ends up following him to his latest gig. Yeah he’s a modern day Robin Hood stealing from the lowlifes that actually have money of course with the help of a security guard giving him things like  blueprints. Now she wants him to stop although she failed to mention her illegal activities. Sweetie I’m pretty sure being a hooker in California is still a big no no. Will she now get a clue that Michael isn’t a great guy not to mention crappy father?

I’ve never found putting something together theraputic. Violet claims that. That was supposed to be a bed? She tried to lure Auggie over to help her with some furniture but of course the upset Riley threw a wrench in that plan. Now I’m wondering which one knocked down that nest where the sparrows which I didn’t see myself were supposedly spotted by Riley and Auggie. I was thinking Jonah because he bitched about them but I’m thinking it could very well be Violet since she was all hanging around and being creepy again. She even got Auggie to take her home on his bike a Triumph which is supposed to be special I guess. If you say so Auggie because I have no clue. After the cat was out of the bag about the kiss he got upset but his sponsor wasn’t available so he went over to help with the furniture since he needed something to do with his hands. How about a massage Auggie.

Well Violet is certainly on the Crazy Train but will she ever compare to Kimberly? She’s decided to go after Michael and isn’t it nice to know he hasn’t changed a bit? Still the same man that cheats on his wife without giving it a thought. She downs some energy drinks and goes to Michael’s office. And she invites him to Coal which is a dumb name for a place where she gives him some drinks. He’s having a good time until Vanessa his latest wife calls.

I guess Vanessa can’t handle their son Noah who just might need some medication although he was never seen just a ball going down the stairs.  Oh no the nanny’s gone which gave Violet an in. He said he was going to go home but Violet ends up delaying him. Yes like father like son only Michael’s car doors fly up and I think his car is roomier. Violet grabs her phone and tapes them having sex which she ends up sending I think she sent it to the new wife. Oops bad Michael. Is someone headed for another divorce?

And how creepy was she in Auggie’s place. I guess he took off otherwise she wouldn’t be able to wander around his place. Did he really give her the key or did she steal it? David caught her but she claimed that Auggie wanted her to feed his plants and fish. What fish? I didn’t actually see any fish and why would the fish food be in his bedroom? I would think kitchen which is where David said it was. She just wanted to channel Sydney I guess because Auggie knew her. I’m still wondering about whether or not she’s Sydney’s daughter because Sydney denied it and how did she find out anyway? I would think unless the adoption was open that it would take some time to find the person unless they didn’t want to be found.

Well at least Victor was on a little bit more this time and Caleb did end up getting a date with that cute Anton guy. It would be nice if he had an actual storyline. Sure he doesn’t live in the building but that doesn’t mean he can’t have a storyline and if there’s one with him shirtless I for one wouldn’t mind one bit. Like you weren’t thinking the same thing yourself.

Real Jeans? They are magical jeans that are supposed to make your ass look good. I did get those magic jeans from Walmart but I’m thinking these are out of my price range and white jeans that just sounds like I’d be looking for trouble since white always makes me anyway look bigger. Maybe if you’re a twig you can pull it off. And the dude wanted Riley to be the model because models aren’t real people. That did amuse me but Ella spoke up in defense of models being real. Hey ten grand is a lot of money and with Jonah being broke that should come in handy in paying rent for instance. He really screwed up when he didn’t take that guy’s bribe.

As for Riley being a model was I the only one that thought the shirt looked like a seat cover turned into a shirt? It was all fuzzy. Would you really wear that with jeans? And white jeans? I stay away from white bottoms. That’s just looking for trouble. Imagine the horrors of having an accident in a pair of white jeans. Makes me shudder just thinking about it but she decided to take the job even though she turned it down at first because Jonah was broke and tried to sell his camera. She did stop him from doing that which was nice of her so she wasn’t so bitchy this week but it does look like this is just a temporary niceness since she looks like she’s swapping spit with someone else next week.

That green dress that Lauren wore was just horrible. I’m not sure if another color could have saved it. Now I’m not a dress girl but that thing was ugly. Maybe it could work as a bridesmaid dress. Wendy sets him up for another job on a boat but things go south when she sees David come aboard. Couldn’t she have stayed and just avoided him? He would have been distracted while he was getting beaten up. Such a shame there’s no honor among thieves at least this ones so shame on your Amir at least I think that’s how you spell your name for sending David there.

It wasn’t bad at first because Lauren makes a friend with another hooker that offers to help her out. She seemed nice and she did help Lauren get off the boat. I think she also left because her new hooker friend did mention that Lauren might have to do some girl on girl action while the guy watches. Maybe that was just too much for her. And Wendy wasn’t a happy Madame but she’s willing to give her another chance. She still has to pay her tuition so she’s stuck for the time being. I do wonder if the hooking will ultimately end up what she does because at some point something’s got to give. It seems like hooking can eat up just as much time as being on call does.

David goes to his fence and mentions a painting. He suggests David goes to see his cousin. That’s nice send him to your cousin where he ends up beat up. I suggest you find a new fence after this. And why are they called fences anyway? It doesn’t make sense but I guess a lot of things don’t make sense. So he goes to the boat and talks to the guy but instead the guy wants to send him on a job. David isn’t up for that and as a result gets his ass kicked. The cousin was lame because he had his minions do the ass kicking. Okay that might be smart but it does make you look like a pussy but hey maybe he was afraid  he’d break a nail or something. He might have just had his nails done. So it’s a good thing Lauren found him since she’s the one that brought him to the hospital.

He had a fractured rib which doesn’t sound like fun at all. Michael of course wants to know what happened so he has Lauren find out. She’s quite the busy girl being a hooker, intern, and spy. I wonder what Michael has in those files and where did Jane go. Now David needs to find a new hobby or something. Maybe he could take up knitting instead. Probably not but at least he’d have a weapon if someone came after him. Beware of the knitting needle. It is called a needle so I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it would be sharp.

Am I having another dumb moment for not getting the title? There is no canon in this episode at all so I don’t know what they were thinking when they thought up this name. Bummer once again Victor is barely on so I’m not seeing the point of having him on if he’s going to be over and done with in the time it takes someone to blink or sneeze. And what does WPK or whatever it is stand for? The pink could be for pink I guess.

Lauren’s been a bad best friend lately what with her wanting to get into hooking for paying that pesky tuition. Wendy ends up giving her a chance but much like being a doctor she’s on call and if she doesn’t come running she’s out. Am I the only one amused at the name of Wendy being a Madam? Damn what the hell was Kristian’s name when she played one on the original Melrose Place? I so need to go back and rewatch since it’s been ages since I’ve watched. Now this means Riley’s going to get blown off which always sucks.

Another familiar face to soap fans especially Passions fans although of course Days fans should already know about Victor’s pretty face. Damn I wish he’d go back there to play Nicky again if things keep going the way they are with him hardly on. Now where was I? I got distracted by the hotness of Victor. Oh yes Charles who was the second Chad shows up as a John for Lauren. Well that just shows how dumb I am since it just hit me not that I’ve ever thought about it why the guys are called Johns. 

Now why is this guy going to a hooker? He’s a good looking guy and he isn’t freaky. Sure he wanted Lauren to dance but that isn’t that strange really. Well it would be strange if you tried asking me to dance since I happen to have two right feet but come on things could have gotten really strange. He wants her to stay longer than the hour. Well that’s good to know that you rent by the hour and have the option of a second hour. Actually it turned out to be a test to see if Lauren would be willing to work when she was told to. So instead of going wedding dress shopping with Riley she stays with Dancing Guy.

Sure Riley’s been a bit of a bitch but I have to admit I felt a little bad for her when her best bud didn’t show up for their shopping trip. She was going to ask Lauren to be her maid of honor. She did end up asking her later. Good luck with finding a balance since the way Wendy seems to be I’m thinking the medical career is going to go down the toilet because she’s going to be calling often. I would think it would be better to be with a Madam instead of flying solo because she found out firsthand how bad things can get if you don’t get the money upfront.

Color me not surprised when Violet sabotaged Kira. The poor girl is struggling and Violet goes and screws her over because she wants to be the bartender. Auggie is totally clueless. I wonder if Kira will figure out that it was Miss Helpful that put the seven hundred dollars in her purse. Since she was upset she wasn’t thinking about how it got there but maybe later on she’ll get a clue. That was a nice touch making sure to accidentally on purpose of course knocking her purse off the counter so the money would be revealed. If someone is going to steal money that wouldn’t be the place to put it because of the risk of it falling on the floor and busting you. Now Violet’s the bartender and Auggie helped out with that. Hey at least he has his job so far.

Since Jane called the cops about Ella she gets hauled in for questioning. The alibi goes right out the window since she was seen talking to some PI guy when she claimed to be at home with David.  She was with some guy whose wife also happens to be a client so she’s trying to keep that out to save her ass. It’s not like she killed Sydney although she did have a damn good motive but hell it’s not like she’s the only one. And that cop really seems anxious to get her in handcuffs. I hope she didn’t get a cold with that outfit. I can see her bellybutton. So talk about a crappy birthday with some cop on your ass.

Jonah’s doing videos of houses for some real estate website. David ends up seeing it and notices a necklace. So Mr Trust Fund pays the place a visit which shows what a crappy friend he is all around. When Jonah goes to the guy I guess to give him another video the guy ends up calling the cops because of the missing necklace. This leads to Jonah confronting David but he denies it. Ella mentioned the necklace so of course this isn’t something that Jonah pulled out of his ass. When the necklace turns up behind the dresser or something where a cleaning lady found it he apologizes to Jonah. I think the guy realized how stupid that was and returned it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he burned his way through his trust fund. Damn I wish I had a trust fund although I think I’d be smarter about it or maybe not. I am good at finding deals and I’m not someone nuts that spends six hundred dollars on a pair of shoes.

Ella should have been nicer to the PI guy since he turned around and told the police that she hired him to break into Sydney’s place. So the motive is there but with the use of flashbacks it was shown that Sydney was making her life miserable. I think Sydney felt that Ella owed her for helping her out. What was wrong with how she looked when she gave that sob story to the tow driver? She ended up giving her a job and it looks like Syd got a bit too demanding for Ella. That makes things not look very good although she of course didn’t do it because Auggie did it. Or did he? 

Jane comes back and I’m glad about that. Very nice and the hair looks cute Josie. She’s moving in and taking over as the new landlady and within five minutes she was already blackmailing someone so high five Jane. Talk about coming a long way from the early days when she was married to Michael. Ella gave in at least for a little while but Abby didn’t like the dress and ended up not wearing it which pissed off Jane.

When the cops came to Violet’s place she snuck out the window. I knew she was hiding something. I’m still not sure if I believe her about being Sydney’s daughter although she does have the crazy going for her and the red hair. It does sound like her adoptive parents weren’t all that great. She was afraid because she stole money to come to LA. She implied that she was molested without actually coming out and saying it at least that’s the impression I got and I agree with Jonah  because this girl is nuts.

She ends up going to see Jane and tells her that she’s Sydney’s daughter. It looked like Jane believed her at least that’s what she wanted Violet to think since she did mention something that happened in college or before or after college. Wouldn’t it be funny and okay a bit of a stretch but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen that she had David or Steve’s baby. She was on 90210 as Sophie which I think was before she came on Melrose Place. Hey at the very least it could be a plot bunny. She called the cops so she ended up getting arrested.

Once again the yummy Victor was on. I’m glad to have him on something but it’s a shame that they don’t have him doing much. He talks to Katie’s character Ella for a little bit and that’s it. Give him a storyline or have him move back to Salem where he’d be sure to take his shirt. Yes that’s what I’m thinking pretty much anytime I see him. Well he is hot. Maybe Ella invites him over and he gets drunk with Jonah and they kiss or something. Come on give him a storyline Matt was treated a lot better than Caleb is since he has a non existent story and as someone mentioned what was up with that bright pink screen saver? It didn’t seem to fit either Ella or Caleb although hardly anything is known about him beyond him being incredibly hot, tall, and the boss. Did I mention the hot part?

This guy is following David so he’s assuming it was Michael and I’m guessing it was probably him too. Michael does have all those files on his computer that reminds me of Veronica Mars. Couldn’t he spring for a motel instead of going at it in the parking lot? That’s a bit tacky dude. He decides to help Auggie out who is short handed at the restaurant but that turns into a disaster when he goes after the guy following him. Damn Auggie’s boss is an ass. Well I guess with a name like Marchello you’re bound to be an ass. I’m sure Piper could sympathize since she had a crappy boss too.

Thank you Jonah he knows that Violet’s nuts. He’s at a friend’s movie opening with Riley when Violet calls. Hey I thought you were only allowed the one phone call. Riley goes off to bail her out. I guess she sees Violet as a stray puppy that she wants to take care of. She leaves him with some dude that could potentially give his career a nudge in the right direction. I still think he should have taken that other guy’s offer. Sure it was a bribe but if he’s good that would be the foot in the door to get him out there. Who cares if it was a bribe? I would have taken the money since it was a case of being in the wrong place at the right time although he was told to go in there.

Once again an outfit of Ella’s amused me and that reminds me I still need to write something up about that horrible yellow dress. She kind of looked like a dominatrix in that black outfit. Where was her whip? Maybe the whip was back at her place where she took David. He agreed to help her with the Jane sitch but the moron doesn’t know who he’s dealing with since Jane called the cops about the emails. He figured that since she was married to Michael that she’d have skeletons in the closet. Um of all the wives she’s the least likely to have anything although she seems to have changed a wee bit. I should go back and watch the original since I haven’t seen since it went off.

Lauren still has that money to earn so she goes on the prowl. She gets a date set up but the guy’s plane gets delayed or something. I’m thinking it might have been Toby. A familiar face shows up I’ll just call him Assface since that’s what he was. Yes Sam Page and that just reminded me of what a stupid mistake it was to cancel Point Pleasant although I wasn’t liking him too much at the end on that show. Such a shitty thing to do to Christina dude. Anyhoo he asks her if she’s working and they supposedly agree to a price but he refuses to pay up.

I guess someone needs some hooking lessons. She must have been really lucky those first two times since she got guys willing to pay while this guy had to have sensed that she was a newbie without a clue. He ends up leaving but not before leaving her a little souvenir on her arm. When she’s leaving a security guy comes up to her so it’s looking like she’s going to get in trouble when a chick steps in. Hey it’s Kimber from Nip/Tuck and I’m thinking she was a madame or quite possibly a hooker.

She lets Lauren leave. She ends up calling whatever her name is on this and I’m thinking she’s going to get hooking tips. I’m thinking a hooker should get the money up first. Also it would probably be a good idea to have someone around just in case the guy turns into an asshole.  I just hope they don’t cancel this because I’m really enjoying it. It is one of the shows in danger along with Dollhouse unfortunately.

Well I might need to go back to the short bus but I’m kind of fuzzy on why this is called grand. My mind goes right to money with that although it can be used for happy although I don’t use that or the H word for that matter. But once again I did get topless guys which is nice. Now if only the Winchesters would do the same thing although Sam will be and I don’t care if it is a hallucination or a dream because the important thing is him being topless right? I might have to adjust that warning label and of course that would be at my regular blog if you want to read that babbling when I do it. But now I want Caleb to take his shirt off. Have a topless day at work. It’s a thought or maybe they could wear bathing suits which would work very nicely. Now where was I? I got distracted by Victor for a moment. Why bother have him on if he’s barely on? That isn’t right. Yes I’m still bitter about him not being Zod or Lucifer since I got cheated on the shallow end of things.

Riley is being a bit of a bitch because she hasn’t told anyone about being engaged. I wonder about her because she dragged her feet about it and when she finally did reveal it to the world it was more like she did it out of guilt. Gee so not surprised about her and Auggie. He is cute although I still find that name silly but if he takes his shirt off I just won’t care about that and hey he cooks although I’m a picky eater so I’d be a challenge for him. So I feel bad for Jonah because I’m thinking she’s not as into him as he is into her.

See you really should lock your doors because once again Ella just barged in. Some director decided not to do a video so she asked Jonah. And boy was that chick odd and she looked familiar but the hair was throwing me. I guess you do get a bit paranoid after dealing with a stalker but I promise I’m a harmless one that just babbles incoherently in her blog and thanks the screen when someone gets shirtless. He ends up making a better video since that tin man or space man stuff was just lame and the director decides he wants his name on the video. Oh that’s just great. I don’t blame Jonah for getting a bit cranky for Riley when she came on the set. Hello that’s just something you should do especially when the guy’s almost done.

I wonder if Lauren will go back and do some more of those five grand dates since she still needs the money. She wants to work with Michael on his team but David tries to warn her off. Hell I’m surprised he’s still practicing medicine and damn it must be paying really well because that painting David stole was worth two million dollars. Now who would pay that much money for a painting? I guess if you’re rich that’s just pocket change so I’m wondering if his latest wife is the one with the big bucks or what. Yes she got a face but as far as I know there isn’t a name. It’s Brooke and the last I saw her was on what was it called North Shore I think. What is this his fourth wife?

David broke into Michael’s place and I guess he only has permission to come over if he calls Michael first. That was a nice touch with the toy for Nicholas the little brother. He did something computery that I’m clueless about that will allow him to access his computer from his place. But things kind of backfire on David because Michael decides to let Lauren work with him because he’s going to get into his life more. Aw Michael isn’t that sweet and look he’s been watching Veronica Mars. Well that’s what it reminded me of when David looked through Michael’s computer to find all these files of people with familiar names so I’m wondering if those people will be back. They weren’t all there of course but it does make me wonder why he has files on all of them.

To make up for being a bitch earlier Lauren decides to make Jonah dinner so she goes to Auggie. Well that didn’t work out too good. Instead of cooking she ends up getting a bit tipsy and Jonah never gets his dinner. I guess he went to that Loft party after all. So to appease her guilty conscience she tells everyone about them getting married and I’m guessing tries to forget what happened with Auggie. Well it’s a good thing he wasn’t shirtless because I’m thinking things would have gone further.

And what is up with Violet? Yes she’s insane but hey here’s another reason doors should be locked. She went into Sydney’s place and decided to help herself to some of Mom’s clothes. Still have no clue if that’s true or not since it is possible but she could just be some loon that liked the pretty lady with the red hair. She was I guess trying the dress on when she knocked over the picture and Lauren with her bat ears went upstairs to check things out. Is that really a good idea? She was murdered after all so it could be the killer.

And is knocking a picture over so loud that you hear it downstairs even with the door open? I guess it depends on the picture frame. She hides in the closet while Lauren looks around and finds the picture on the floor. So now she’s going after Auggie because she knows he was close to Sydney. She’s just chock full of crazy but somehow I don’t think she can get to Kimberly Shaw status since she takes the cake on crazy although she is trying with the red hair. She even bought him two hundred dollar sunglasses. Where did she get the money? Damn I’ve never spent more than ten bucks on sunglasses myself let alone two hundred dollars.

Well now that’s something I can very easily get used to having the guys go shirtless in every episode. Once again I was treated to shirtless guys. Can someone please talk to those two Winchesters about taking their shirts off more and Auggie was in the shower one of the times too. Sure I think his name is still stupid and it turns out that it’s short for August. Okay I’m not sure that Auggie sounds all that better but he’s cute.

So Auggie did kill Syndey and hell he got nicked by the knife too. That was smart to stick her in the pool since that probably got rid of some evidence. This wouldn’t be the first time someone around him died of a knife wound. Through flashbacks which is the only way Sydney’s going to be on it was revealed that they went at AA. Maybe I was distracted at the thought of more shirtlessness but it was a bit vague how his girlfriend ended up getting knifed. I’m thinking Auggie returned the favor to the guy with the guy and hello learn a lesson that it’s a bad idea to jump in the middle of two guys when one has a knife because you just might meet the pointy end of one which tends to end badly.

Cop 1 for lack of a better name and he still looks familiar. Was he a cop on Castle last season? He looks familiar and I’m pretty sure he was a cop on whatever it was that he was on. They must not have evidence because he hasn’t been hauled in and hello Cop 2. He better hope that no one saw him destroy that evidence. Damn David must have been really out of it to sleep through the fight like that. I’m pretty sure I’d wake up if I heard those two fighting.

What is up with Jonah and the clovers? Riley ends up making him breakfast in bed complete with clovers to make up for that one morning where he didn’t have any. I hope she didn’t put milk in that cereal because it went all soggy. Instead of eating they were about to get naked so thank you Jonah for taking the shirt off when Ella stopped by. She certainly didn’t like finding Riley there and anyone with half a brain would have known what they were about to do but she didn’t care. She wanted him to put a camera up.

Yeah right I don’t buy her wanting to put the camera up for people to feel safe. She wanted to catch dirt on it and that’s exactly what happened. If you can’t hear what’s going on it didn’t look good when Riley and Auggie were chatting. She was just telling him they could talk since she knew he cared about Sydney so it was completely innocent although it didn’t look that way and Ella loved that. She so wants him.

But hello to the weirdness when Jonah finds what appears to be a floating Sydney in the pool. What a second there wasn’t a camera to capture her corpse doing the dead man’s float. Nope she turned over revealing Violet in the water. Uh why didn’t someone say anything about this? Jonah saw it but it didn’t seem to strike him as the least bit odd. My weird meter already went off when she stole the picture. It turns out that she’s Sydney’s daughter at least according to Violet.

Say what? She claims that she stole hair from Sydney’s brush and did a DNA test. Wasn’t she just moving in when Violet found her floating in the pool? How did she manage to get a test done that quickly. Is Sydney really her mom? I know one thing and that she’s a loon. Auggie got her a job and thanks to Ella lending her an outfit the asshole guy hired her. So in order to get a job you need to wear a sexy little black dress instead of what she wore before. That dude looks familiar but I don’t like him so I’m not going to waste brain thinking on him.

Hello Victor I was hoping to see you turn up somewhere. Yes I’m disappointed that he won’t be either Zod or Lucifer which sucks. He would certainly fulfill the beautiful requirement for Lucifer while the guy that’s playing the role doesn’t. He’s Caleb and I’m guessing he’s Ella’s boss. Her ass will be in trouble if she can’t land another client but she does pull it off and hello it turns out that Caleb’s gay. Well as long as he gets his shirt off that’s just dandy with me although I was kind of hoping he’d go back to Days and be Nicky again.

Ella goes to this party to find the British guy which she does. He didn’t seem too smart to me. She told him to pull his pants down which he does and she whips out her phone and takes a picture. And it turns out that he’s gay. So why did he bother to pull them down? I guess he figured a blow job is good regardless of who happens to be doing the blowing. So her ballsy attitude landed her the guy and kept her from getting a pink slip.

Lauren’s date didn’t look like the couch since she ended up at the same party. Maybe just maybe I might write something. Toby called her and mentioned pimping her out to her friends. Of course she was offended but when she found out that the five grand wasn’t going to keep her from getting the boot from medical school she took him up on his offer. The poor guy ended up liking her because he thought they were enjoying themselves but it was all for show. I’d almost feel bad for the guy if he wasn’t willing to shell out five grand for a date. I wouldn’t be surprised if she started hooking. Too bad what’s her face isn’t around. Didn’t Kristian Alfonso play a Madam on Melrose Place?

Violet already gets my vote for the crazy award. And they haven’t even noticed that something is just off about that girl. So I’m liking it even with my disappointment over them bringing Sydney back only to kill her right off the bat. I guess there has to be someone crazy around but she’s no Kimberly that’s for damn sure. That one scene where she pulled the wig off revealing that huge scar is just pemanently embedded in my head even though it’s been ages since I’ve watched it. It disappeared from SoapNet for some reason.
