Good to see you in the WP, ILB.
Louis Edmonds VO. His first? Adam no like it when Tony kisses Fake Carolyn. I can see his bitterness over her not wanting him compounded by seeing the kiss, to the point of rage. Jealousy doesn't get switched off abruptly just because you realize you have no chance with someone. Seeing her with Tony just underlined the rejection.
A will can't require relatives to do this or that
before the death actually takes place, can it? Liz seems to be asking for a lot of work and expense to have things ready to go the moment she appears to snuff it. Her idea seems to be to make sure now to protect her interests, as she sees them, before her family has her declared incompetent and her power is taken away. But once she's committed, can't the will just be nullified instantly? I've never understood wills on DS.
Fake Carolyn started to make some sense, explaining herself and her emotions to Adam, and it was a nice, respectful touch for her to confess a little, and lay out her uncertainties about Tony to Adam. I'm usually frustrated by how characters on TV deal with issues such as these, especially on DS. On DS, explanations that could easily and understandably have been made are avoided in favor of "because it just is" or "because I said so" sorts of remarks that obviously explain and settle nothing, leading to a long string of tragic circumstances, because of lousy communication. It wasn't quite good enough an explanation for Adam, though, it could have been better. And points off for her saying the old oblivious standby: "Why do you have to make things so difficult?" .... obviously it would be very easy on Fake Carolyn for Adam just to drop it, but obviously you can't expect that from a man whose guts are in a knot from unrequited love. Just switch off those feelings, you jerk, is what her statement amounted to in reality, though she felt sympathy while saying it.
Locking Adam in his room was stupid. I don't blame him for breaking said door into tiny pieces and running off. Sending Hairy up to pal around with him and do sleepovers with him, with no end in sight, was boneheaded in itself. There was an explosive Odd Couple if ever there was one.
My assessment of Fake Carolyn is: somewhat better communicator than Real Carolyn, but her decisions as to what actions to take are more ridiculous than Adam's....
