We're back to my basic complaint about non-supernatural soap operas: people have to be idiots to keep the plot moving. We've got Carolyn snooping around Jason's room without making sure first that he's not around to catch her. We've got Jason acting like the master of the house before he's got the marriage ceremony safely behind him. Gosh, people, have a little faith! You don't have to act like idiots! The writers will find plots for you even if you act like thoroughly rational human beings! Never mind, I forgive them all, because I just love it when Jason acts like the total thug that he actually is, underneath all the blarney.
And then we've got Elizabeth dressing up for her wedding - ribbons in her hair, fancy dress. Huh? She's feeling defiant these days, so why isn't she wearing basic black?
I do like Liz's final declaration, though: "I killed Paul Stoddard...and that man was my accomplice!" So very dramatic. There was Jason, looking handsome in his wedding clothes, and I had visions of a torrid affair between Jason and Liz twenty years ago...Paul Stoddard catches them in the act...Liz (in a beautiful flowing black negligee) grabs the bedside pistol and shoots Paul...Paul falls to the floor, and blood spurts over the dozen long-stemmed roses that he had been bringing to Liz. Instead of which, what really happened was...well, that's what we'll see next week.
