I'm thinking maybe Kristina won't turn out to be as bad as we think. Although she does reckless things, she seems to believe her actions are for the greater good of someone else. That's actually a good quality to have as long as she doesn't take it too far by having limits set for her. Michael is still recovering from head trauma and now he lashes out at unexpected moments and does something really stupid before he even realizes where he is. That in itself could make for interesting story, if not a frustrating situation for his parents. But where do you draw the line on unintentionally acting out and doing it deliberately?

I have to say I am really enjoying Martha Byrne as Andrea and that's mainly because Andrea is such a departure for Byrne's previous role.  But don't think my antennae didn't shoot up in interest when Ric walked in and Andrea announced that "their plan" is going south. Plan? Too bad Ric will soon be a non-factor as he just essentially vanishes from Port Chuck - ah, so much missed potential. Anyway, for her own reasons, Andrea wants the lawsuit settled out of court so her cheating louse of a husband won't have a mark left on his political record. Robin summed it up best when she said that maybe he deserved it and Andrea was far too generous in that regard. But the single thing wrong with this story is that it involves mainly new and not yet established characters. How much more interesting would it have been if Mac were at the heart of the scandal? He is the police chief and no one would've seen it coming, to say nothing of the fact that it could've given John York one hell of a story. But I digress. We have what we have, so hopefully the sparks of interest will continue.

Let's see. We had hot sex scenes with Johnny and Olivia, Emily - sorry, Rebecca and Nikolas, and Sonny and Claudia. And the kids are out of school too! Just kidding. Johnny and Olivia were bringing the pretty, the other two couples were inducing the yawns. Sonny says something about this never happening again, and it's too bad that Claudia hired some guy named Dominic to take out Jason. No one can take out Jason. He's indestructible. Talk about a waste of time and effort. Dominic is kind of cute and I'm waiting for Claudia to realize this and give him a roll too because she probably will, if she doesn't kill him first. Meanwhile, Nikolas is trying to recreate Cinderella or some mess with Rebecca and she even leaves her slipper behind when the clock strikes twelve. Zzzzzzzz. As for Johnny and Olivia, smoking! Yow. So pretty. So pretty. Her son is roughly the same age as Johnny but oh well. Who says Johnny can't have a real woman instead of one or two drama queens?
