Crazy Craig and His Antics Continue - Today's Recap, 5/7/10

May 07, 2010 15:47

Today was like, epic Episodus Interruptus day. There was some scary activity in Times Square this afternoon involving a cooler that was left on Broadway and 46th St, whose contents were unknown, and CBS kept breaking into today's ep to report on the news. But then when it would switch back to the show, the news anchor's voice kept playing over the episode! Sheesh, CBS. Get your act together! First they scare the bajeebus out of us with all this bomb threat stuff, and then they drown out half the episode of ATWT!

Btw, the cooler only had bottles of water in it. Whew! Now can people stop being f*cktards with all this bomb threatening in NYC?! This is terrible!

Anyway.

Okay, so...tell me that when Craig was at the station and said, "I didn't start the fire," to Carly and Jack, that you didn't go right to Billy Joel in your head and start cracking up like I did. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Seriously, how perfect are the lyrics?

We didn't start the fire / it was always burning / since the world's been turning...

THE WRITERS DID THAT ON PURPOSE. THOSE ASSHOLES. :-P HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA L.M.F.A.O!! I bet you the team of them were sitting around in their conference room giggling like schoolgirls while writing that scene.

We all know that Craig is lying through his teeth anyway. Then he has this encounter with Parker in Old Town (because he's out on bail), where he tells Parker that he deserves "most" of the charges that are being pressed against him. Parker asks him what he means by that, and Craig simply replies that Jack will figure out the truth behind everything, especially behind the fact that Craig didn't hurt Gabriel. It kinda seemed like Craig knew that Parker had hurt him and was trying to stick it to him, but to my knowledge, Craig has no idea that Parker was involved in Gabriel's accident. Nevertheless, his interaction with Parker is not helping Parker's nerves. He's practically running scared now and calling Carly every five minutes for emotional back-up.

Not that Craig's doing any better. He goes to pick Johnny up from Dusty and notices that Johnny twisted his wrist. He then proceeds to go mental on Dusty about it, screaming something about "HE'S MY SON!" blah blah blah. Supreme Guilt, table for one? Dusty looks at him cross-eyed, like, "What the eff's your deal?!" but he is not successful in calming Craig down. Oh, what a fun father Craig is. Every kid wants a dad who will fly off the handle at a moment's notice about something relatively insignificant.

BUT! That scene with Johnny and Dusty sharing the chocolate milkshake (and it looked like pigs-in-a-blanket? Teehee!) was SO CUTE. OMG. Oh, Mr. Donovan. I love the crap outta you.

So now Dusty's paying off Janet's landlord to make sure she doesn't have any problems with the tenants, rent, repairs, etc. Of course, Janet shows up just in the nick of time to catch Dusty talking to the landlord, and she asks what Dusty's doing there. Poor Janet thinks that all this money is coming from Pop, and I have a feeling she's going to be royally pissed off when she finds out it was all a lie.

BUT! Janet has MOVED OUT OF CARLY'S HOUSE! YAY! That ticking time-bomb has now been diffused. (Oops, sorry for the bomb reference...my bad!) Of course, Jack got all upset when he heard where Janet was moving, because apparently that's the "bad side of town" in his eyes. Ugh, Jack. Can we say "separation anxiety"? Ya gotta take your hooks outta Janet and LET HER LIVE HER LIFE. Thankfully, Janet was like, "I'M MOVING. END OF STORY. Thx bye!" and she left without another argument from Jack. :-)

Oh, and she and Dusty were really sweet today, too. She invited little Johnny over to her apartment "anytime", and she said Dusty was welcome as well. ♥ C'mon, you two...work it out, will ya? You're great with each other!

But then, Carly tells Jack it ain't working (despite their impromptu mid-afternoon romp in the sack), and she asks him to move out. REALLY, CARLY?!

All right...I can understand what she's saying. She says that Jack can't give her the devotion she needs while Janet is still pregnant, because he's so fixated on making sure the baby's safe and all that. But seriously, when that baby's born, I have a feeling that Jack's only going to get worse. Don't you? The baby's going to be living with Janet 24/7, and he's probably going to want to spend as much time there as possible, especially while the baby's young. So his devotion to Carly is going to be even more strained...don't you think?

And speaking of strained, let's talk about Lily and Lucinda (with Faith as an honorable mention)!

Lucinda still wants Lily to drop her worries about whether or not they did the right thing with Gabriel, and she wants Lily to stand up, be strong, and get her man back. Lily takes personal offense to all of this, especially when Lucinda brings up how crappy Lily's relationship with Faith is at the moment. Lily basically tosses her mother out, but before she leaves Lucinda hugs her and sincerely asks her just to think about what she's said.

Meanwhile at the Lakeview, Molly is being stupid and hanging out with Silas Whitman for the sole purpose of getting Holden's attention, because he bailed on her earlier at WOAK to go talk with Lily about Craig and apparently Molly's never heard of telling your man how you feel right when you feel it. I think Lily has passed her dumb twelve-year-old on to Molly now, because she acted like a kid today, pulling this kind of stunt with Holden and Silas. And then the two of them had to awkwardly talk about their relationship woes while still in Silas's room. Uh...perhaps not the best time or place! You know that sneaky bastard was eavesdropping and is only going to use this against Molly the next time they meet! Ack.

Gotta say, though...Silas Whitman better watch his back. If he doesn't, he's gonna find himself bruised and bloodied on the deck of a ship somewhere, or worse! Bobbing in the middle of the Mediterranean! :-P

(Okay, have I worn out the whole Holden/Damian/oar joke yet? Please tell me if it's time I moved on to a different joke! :-P)

But also...when Molly and Holden did finally talk, she told him that she felt like she was coming in second place, and he basically replied with, "Oh. Bummer." I was like WTF?! Holden! I thought he would be a little sweeter with her, but I guess he was just pissed off that she did something stupid. *shrug* I dunno. But I hope Holden starts to put more of an effort in for her. If for nothing else but to keep her out of trouble with Congressman Blowhard.

Oh, yes, and I forgot to mention, there was some sort of "emergency" with Gabriel, and he was rushed into surgery. Craig and Parker met up accidentally at Memorial to check on him, and they learned of this news together. Of course, Craig got that wild look in his eye and tried to badger the nurse for more info, but they're at the mercy of the doctors now. Hmm. I wonder what happened? (Though this does not mean that I'm interested in this storyline...I swear! :-P)

Kind of a ho-hum Friday episode, huh? Felt really disjointed for me, too, because of all the freaky news interruptions. Meh. :-/

BUT BUT! PREVIEWS FOR NEXT WEEK!

Noah's waking up! Noah's waking up! YEE-HAW! Oh dear God, please let this boy be able to see. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I can't wait to watch these scenes! I'm dying for everyone's reactions, especially Luke and Noah's. Oh, please, writers...let this be good. PLEASE!

And uh...Casey and Vienna get it on again. *reaches for brain bleach* Are they going to be paired up now just so that Henry can have Barbara? Huh. I'm definitely more than okay with the Henry/Barbara parts, but...I still don't like the Casey/Vienna stuff. Though this show is notorious for changing my mind when it comes to couples (Barbara and Henry being a BIG one in that category!).

And what the hell was going on with Emily and Eliza?! Curious, no? Emily calls her "my baby", too. Uh-oh. This is not boding well for NutMeg, methinks. :-)

Happy Friday to you all! I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your mommies! Hee. :-D

~G

EDIT: I just had a funny thought.

What if when Noah wakes up, Luke says, "Hi there!"
And Noah says, "Hi. I see you!"
And Luke says, "I see you too!"
HEHE IT COULD BE LIKE AVATAR. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Luke needs to cradle Noah while he's still lying in his hospital bed and the scene will be complete!
