Okay, Matthew Crane is cute and all, and I'm all for Luke and Skye getting screen time.....but I guess I've just never been a huge fan of the "Let's haul the dead guy around!" story this show loves so much. It gets really old, really fast. And why is Skye wearing a rug?

Dillon: I wish that I had known Nikolas better.
Oh, honey. You don't wish that, honestly. Trust me.

Since we're talking about things that get really old, really fast (look, a theme!) - I'm already really tired of hearing everyone, including people who didn't even know Prikolas that much, discussing what a sainted and holy creature he was. And yes, I'm still smarting over the lack of reference to Zander's death.

And again, we are back to the portion of the episode where Sonny and Carly discuss their problems and differences instead of actually searching for their son. Blah blah blah, underneath it all, Sonny is a teddy bear, blah blah blah.

Jason: You have to pull him out when I hand him to you.
And - commercial. That's suspense. Because I'm sure we're all sitting here thinking that Jason will hold up Michael, and Lorenzo will say "You know, I just did my nails and all, and I was thinking, I don't really want to do this right now. Sorry."

Skye: [Ross] looks like the kind of guy you could marry, you know.
Awww, shout-out!

I have to giggle at the fact that Dillon is all nostalgic and sad and talking about St Nikolas of the Holy Cross, and Georgie's like "That's great and all, so do you want to have sex?" Heh.

Dillon: [Jedward] is all......about making sure the master key is in the safebox....
Well, don't get me wrong, but I think Georgie was also aiming at getting the master key in the safebox, if you know what I mean.

Are Ric and Alexis going to pull each other's hair? Sweet. I'm still not sure about a romantic pairing between these two, but their scenes are sort of interesting.

Personally, the few times I've moved a corpse (it's what Perkie and I do when we're not writing up rambles and observations, you know), I always check to make sure the taillights are all okay.

Look! Lorenzo took Michael from Jason when he held him up! I am shocked and amazed!

Carly: Why did you do it?
Sonny: Because I wanted to punish you.
That's hot. Is that part of the criteria for a "destiny couple" these days? The husband will try to make the wife commit murder, for no reason other than "You upset me and I want to get back at you for it"? Mmmm. And we wonder why I find nothing remarkable or even likable about this couple.

The only saving grace of the Dead Ross story is the fact that it actually involves good actors.

So, Robyn Richards has given amazing performances for ages now, and her character has been relegated to.....Condom Collecting Girl? Wha?

Aww....that nice lab tech spilled his guts in exactly 3.7 seconds, just so we could go to another endless Sonny/Carly scene. How sweet and helpful of him.

Hey, Sonny, Carly. Your kid is still missing. I thought you might need an update. Since you've apparently forgotten. "Let's just sit around and chit-chat about our dysfunctional relationship. We'll let Jason do all the dirty work of actually looking for Michael!" And what happened to poor Court? Is she still lurking in the kitchen, so Sonny could speak to Carly "alone"?

Aww, Big Alice! We missed you! Big Alice and Jedward make everything fun.

Paramedic: Eight-year-old fell down a well.
Hey, we finally have an answer to the mystery of how old Michael is!

Sonny didn't thank Lorenzo for saving Michael! I am shocked and amazed! *eyeroll*

You just know that poor doctor saw the Corinthi coming and said "Oh, come ON, not AGAIN!"

Carly: You gave us quite a scare....
And you are SOOO grounded when you get home, Mr Man.

Okay. Obviously, Alexis doesn't know that Michael is hurt. And she doesn't know that Ric is at the hospital, checking out the results of the DNA test. So why would she ask Carly to meet her at the hospital? I mean, that just doesn't make sense. I think we all know you're supposed to have secret meetings on the docks. Silly kids.

Skye's reaction to Dillon getting the boathouse key was just spot-on. Hee.

Seriously, kids. It's a boathouse. What did you expect, exactly? A waterbed? However, Dillon's reaction when Georgie told him to turn around was also excellent.

What is this, the second dead body Dillon and Georgie have stumbled on? I think that's what we call "extremely bad luck". Or, you know - Why You Should Never Be Inspired By Emily And Nikolas.

And now we move to the portion of the episode where Sonny and Carly team up to bully someone else. I mean, yes, Alexis didn't exactly pick the best time, but it's not like she did it on purpose. And yes, I'm saying all of this mainly because I'm totally on the side of anybody giving Sonny and Carly crap. Yay!

Did anybody miss the Daytime Dilemma? Because I know I didn't. Two days in, and I already want to hunt the announcer down and hurt him.

Tomorrow: Dillon tells Jedward about Dead Ross. Jason furrows his brow. Sonny and Carly whatevercakes. Emily and Mary interact, and hopefully Mary can work her magic and make the Twit interesting. And more Ric and Alexis! And I'm actually kind of oddly excited about that. That might just be because Rick Hearst is pretty and I'm shallow like a puddle, however.
