How many times a day does Griff need to check Kendall's heart? And, that's all he does...listen to her heart! You would think if he was really checking here, there would be some other kind of checkup..., a blood pressure check, a blood test, cat scan..something! I had a liver transplant, for God's sake, and when I was released, I only had to return twice a week. After two weeks, it was once every two weeks and then only once a month. By this point, Kendall should only need to go back to the doctor every six months. But she seems to start her day in the hospital, and end up there.
And, what's with this skulking around the Valley Inn? Rooms in hotels and inns are not generally down the hall from the conference room where Kendall's meeting was supposedly being held. She came as close to the truth as I've seen in a few months when she called herself Griff's girlfriend.
This storyline needs to move forward. How many conversations do Ricky and Diane have to have? Come on, we get it already. Move forward. These are not the most compelling characters, but maybe they could become so if the writers let them get past the conversations and move into some action. Ricky had Griff beaten up...why did he stop there? If he killed Zach, and Griff is standing in his way, why is Griff being spared? And Ricky has been getting pretty angry at Diane..is it just a matter of time before he gets violent with her?
I've gotten the feeling that Ricky and Griff could have known each other in the past. There have been looks that passed between them of pure hatred, and then there have been the "knowing nods". The writers should expand on this possibility and add a new dimension to the plot. The timing of them both coming into Kendall's life after the plane crash and Zach's death is something to ponder. Could they even be working together? Or could Griff know about Ricky and be secretly investigating him? Griff could even be keeping the secret that Zach is alive and trying to investigate the "killers" and his situation is getting complicated by the fact that he's falling in love with Kendall and she with him. Oh the possibilities!
I like the Cara and Tad combo and hope they soapily fall for each other. I do have a hard time imagining the love scenes as they are so good together as a comedy team. But, love has to be based on something, and I don't mind watching their relationship evolve on the back,..well, middle, burner.
When did Amanda turn into a beeeatch? She suddenly wakes up and decides to stop Cara from talking to Jake? I would have done that from the beginning instead of trying to pretend that everything is hunky dory! You want your ex-husband who is my current husband? Girl, that's not happening. I realize that Cara calling is like picking at a scab that won't heal, but Amanda's tone grated on even my nerves. Its clear that she doesn't know which way to jump and things will go downhill with her and Jake unless she learns to make peace with the past.
And ohhhhhh the mess Jessie is in. I'm surprised that Brot is such a willing accomplice, but I guess he needs someone. When this blows up there won't be a person in the Valley that isn't touched. Stay tuned....
