Woes of the Relationship Kind - Today's Mini Recap, 8/17/10
Hey! I have a fun idea for today's episode!
Every time the actress who plays Iris flubs a line and tries to cover it up, take a drink! Trust me, after what I witnessed in just the first half of the episode, you'll be sloshed in record time! :-P
So Emily was very stern in her belief that since she gave Iris the password to Barbara's joint bank account with Paul, Iris would let them go free. And she didn't believe Barbara when she said that Iris will just take the money and run. Emily, honey...Iris nailed you to a f*ck-off plank of wood in your own cellar. I don't think she has any loyalties to you.
And now Iris is planning on shipping the two of them to Madagascar or some stupidass thing like that? *headdesk* I hope Will kicks her ass from here to Kingdom Come.
And Paul has finally started to believe Henry! FRIGGING FINALLY. Henry's only been right about EVERY FREAKING THING concerning Barbara's kidnapping. Sheesh!
So Chris is still being a dunderhead when it comes to his own health. Remember how I always say "men are dumb"? Um. YUP. Chris is that phrase exemplified. So not only is he taking risks with his own life, but he's been jerking Katie all over the place (and not in the good way!) in the process. So much so that after he practically shoves her onto a plane bound for Sweden to get her out of his hair while he "recovers" from his slight case of MYOCARDITIS which may or may not have compromised his heart muscle - which could cause him to drop dead, btw - and then later pops up on her doorstep to ask her to attend a party with the Board of Trustees with him like it's no big deal and everything is hunky-dory between them, she tells him to go piss up a rope! HELL YEAH KATIE! What does he think? That he can keep this charade up? Houdini, he is not. He cannot defy his own physical health, and it's about damn time he starts listening when Reid says he needs to get his ass in gear and get that damn MRI.
I really liked how Reid said that if Chris was treating any other patient the way he's treating himself, he'd be sued for malpractice. It's so true. Remember when Chris hurt his back when Katie ran him over? He thought it was a good idea to wash down his painkillers with BEER. BEER. Rule number one of ingesting pills: DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL. Um...hello? And this is the guy who wants to be Chief of Staff. (Never mind that he only wants it so Reid doesn't get it.) ARGH!
Chris, I was okay with you till today. I love that Reid's helping you, because it reflects wonderfully on Reid, and I love that the two of you have to put your pissing contest aside and actually be nice to one another (because it's just so entertaining), but I would never want you to be my doctor. I'll take Reid, thank you very much. Even if he calls me a whining hypochondriac and shows my ass to the door.
Btw, Chris should listen to Reid just on principle, yes? 'Cause Reid is the best neurosurgeon in the country (or the world, whichever :-P). He didn't get that reputation because he's a lousy doctor. So if Reid tells Chris to stand on his head and spit wooden nickels in order to save his own life, I think Chris should do that!
Anyway. End rant on Chris. :-P Let's talk about Luke and Noah!
Especially Noah. Oh, Noah. I have missed you so much. ♥
It was really nice seeing him again, and seeing him being him. I've really missed my sweet Noah, and believe it or not, I really liked the scenes today between Luke and Noah. I really love how they sat and talked and were honest with one another. We got to reminisce right along with them. And it was bittersweet, in a lovely kind of way. I dunno...I have a thing for nostalgia, and their scenes today really touched on that.
I think Noah may have jumped the gun on the whole "Reid's cheating on you" thing, but really, who could blame him? He admitted himself that he knows nothing about what drives Reid. He doesn't know Reid outside of his very small experience with him, and he knows nothing about how Reid feels for Luke. So of course he's going to jump to attention when he sees something that he thinks is funny going on. I really don't think that he was just trying to cause trouble. I think he honestly does want Luke to be happy. And vice versa, even though they had that little spat towards the end of the episode.
I wanted them to hug, though. Really. Noah's leaving for LA and even Luke was like, "Is this how we're leaving it?" because he didn't want to leave it that way. They should have hugged.
And Luke and Reid! ♥
I know a lot of my LuRe friends probably didn't like that Luke didn't believe what Reid was telling him, but I did. And I'll tell you why.
Because I think this is going to lead up to bigger and better things with Luke and Reid. They don't lie. So Reid's gonna 'fess up about what's going on with Chris, Luke's gonna be all "ZOMG!" ♥_♥ at him for taking care of Chris, and then they'll get even closer. *Coughsexytiemscough* I truly don't think anything bad is going to come out of Luke questioning Reid.
And really...if you were Luke, wouldn't you question it? He knew Reid wasn't at the hospital when he said he would be, and then Noah (who is someone that Luke trusts) comes to tell Luke he saw Reid at the Lakeview. Forget that Reid had his arms around another guy (because, since we were privy to the actual scene, it was pretty laughable that it could be considered something intimate - silly Noah!). Later Reid says his patient is "fine" when Luke asks him about it knowing that there is no patient to begin with! Anyone would question all that!
Plus, that's one of the things I love most about LuRe: they call each other on their shit. Whether they're just being jerks to each other, whether they're hiding something or just not saying what's on their mind...they call each other on it. Then the truth comes out, the air gets cleared, and lots of making out ensues. YAY!
Also, I love knowing that Reid wouldn't cheat on Luke. He so wouldn't. If anything, he would be like, "I'm peacing out," and leave Luke standing there bewildered before he'd cheat on him. And Reid is so buttcrazy in love with Luke, it's not even funny. Dude, if Luke Snyder can't satisfy him, then I don't know who can! :-P That boy's got a nicer set of lips and a hotter ass than more than half the people I've ever come in contact with (myself included)! (Not that that should be the basis of their relationship, LOL!) I'm just sayin'...Reid has to look no further. He's got it all. :-D
Can't wait for tomorrow! We've got more Reid/Luke and Chris/Katie! And Paul smells smoke (no, he is not having a stroke...oh, wait...that's when you smell toast, my bad) and hopefully Henry can finally FINALLY kick some ass!! XD
