Good
EJ is scheming again. This may seem like it doesn't fit here, but this is a good thing to me. EJ knows that he and Sami are no longer married, but he's not going to tell her. EJ is going to let Sami think that they are still married. I am happy that he is doing that because that means he hasn't changed. He is still the same schemer that he was all along. I'm glad that Lucas won't be the only “bad guy” in the triangle. EJ told Nicole his secret. I hope that Nicole tells Sami the truth eventually.
Bo and Hope's scenes at Tuscanny. I thought that they were so cute together while they were at Tuscanny. Hope wanted to dance with Bo and she challenged him to Salsa with her. He didn't want to do it at first, but he did. Peter and Kristian are really great together. I really do wish that the writers would let us see them happily like that more often. Bo and Hope are the only truly happy couple on the show and they should be shown more than they are. They are proof that the writers can actually write a happy couple on the show.
Nick didn't want to be Chelsea's friend. I am so happy that he turned down her “generous” offer. Chelsea had the gall to expect Nick to want to stay friends with her. She broke his heart and had the nerve to expect him to remain friends with her. I am glad that he didn't want to do it. Why would he want to be her friend when she keeps hurting him? He made the right decision by turning her down the way he did.
Bad
Lucas turned his back on Allie. What was Lucas thinking? Allie wanted her doll so Lucas had to find it for her. For some reason, he chose to look for it without taking her with him. That's right. He left her alone and she ended up wandering out of the mansion. He ended up having to go after her and then he was arrested again. That could have been avoided if he had thought to take Allie with him to look for the doll instead of leaving her alone in a room with the door open.
EJ lectured Lucas about what happened to Allie. EJ was mad when he found out that Allie wandered out of the mansion. He lectured Lucas about what he did. What right did EJ have to do that? He is not Allie's father so he didn't have a right to get upset the way he did. EJ also had a nerve to tell Sami that Lucas can't be alone with the twins. He may have helped raise her while Lucas was in prison, but if he didn't destroy their families, Lucas would have been there for Allie. EJ needs to just worry about Johnny instead of lecturing Lucas about what he's doing with his own daughter.
Sami didn't check up on the annulment. Sami let EJ take care of the grunt work of the annulment. That didn't make any sense at all. She knows that EJ wants to be with her so why wouldn't he make sure to stall the annulment? EJ's plan wouldn't be able to work if she made sure that the annulment was legit. When EJ told her that they were still married, she didn't even question it. She could have called the judge and found out what happened. The old Sami would not have taken EJ's word for it. She would have checked it out herself.
Ugly
Max's attitude. Is anyone else getting sick of his new attitude? He doesn't have a reason to be so mad at the world all of a sudden. I find it hard to believe that he is still hurting over Shawn's death because he barely mentions him anymore. I am not a fan of Max's so seeing his new attitude will not change that for me. I am also sick of Stephanie obsessing over Max being a mathematical genius. I really hope that Max's story isn't going to be a big one because I'm already completely bored with it.
The environmental storyline. Are the writers extremely environmentally friendly? There has to be a reason why the writers are beating us over the head with everyone “going green” on the show. Maggie mentioned recently how she turned her restaurant green and now Caroline has done the same thing with the pub. I can't believe that the writes think that we would actually be interested in this story. Maybe that's why Bo and Hope are involved in this storyline. It's not working because I would much rather see them in a better storyline.
