Jane's Take: Episode 15668, Thursday, May 7, 2009

Reva takes Colin out for a drive and comes home to watch a soap opera.


James really surprised me when he showed up at Ravenwood and told the doctor that his dad had been MIA all weekend.

Sibling rivalry seems to be heating up, and Lizzie and Beth are totally clueless about it. I think it is time to get Phillip released. I'm tired of Ravenwood stories.

--------------------

I was relieved that it was an attempt (lame) to get Phillip out, while making me think James was turning on his dad. Those sneaky writers!

Alan is overbearing with Lizzie, but I was glad to see Lizzie stand up to him! And glad to see Bill supporting Lizzie's decision!

Phillip's scene with the doctor was interesting. He certainly seems to be sane, so I have to wonder why that doctor is keeping him there. You would think she would talk to other family members, not just go by the incident that Alan clearly provoked, before deciding he needs to be locked up. What authority does she have to do this anyway?

Josh is being kind of weird, but we know he is correct in believing Edmund is on the loose and a danger, so I'll accept his weirdness as being protective of those he loves.

Lillian and Buzz stop by to see the baby! Yeah! and a mysterious gift left on the doorstep was promptly ignored. Could it be a bomb? (I really doubt it, but it could be from Edmund)

Blake and Frank are together at Reva's! Then Josh and Billy stop by. What fun!

Reva starts to open the mysterious present and Josh freaks out and grabs it and drops it! Reva looks like, WTF!

I can't believe Jeffrey isn't checking up on Roc. What an idiot! I thought he was such a supper agent.

I'm glad to see Lizzie talk to the doctor in support of her dad, but I don't get why this doctor has such authority to keep Phillip locked up against his will.

Lizzie calls her mom and says there could be trouble at the house. Then Alan comes in and Phillip is home! And as sane as anyone else.

Alan says, How can that be? Phillip says they have a lot to work out. For the sake of the family!

Beth and James come in. Phillip thanks James for speaking ukp on his behalf.

Frank thinks that Josh seems a little wacked and Billy tells everyone to go home and let Reva rest.

Josh says he is sorry. Reva is worried about him. Josh tells Jeffrey to keep an eye on her and call if they need anything. Reva looks worried. Jeffrey says he thinks it was a mistake to send Josh after Edmund because Josh doesn't realize the case is closed. He can't let it go.

At the Spaulding's, they toast to Lizzie and Bill's engagement! A lovely toast. Alan has his head in his hand. He is exasperated.

Billy walks in Josh's office and asks if he is OK. Josh says he is here at work, but he can't shake the feeling that Edmund is a threat. Billy doesn't want him to hunt Edmund down by himself. Billy leaves, and Josh pulls out another fax threatening Reva, from Guess Who. Why didn't he show that fax to Frank and Jeffrey???

Jeffrey finally seems a little suspicious of the ugly little gift from Guess Who. Reva assures him it is from Hawk.

Alan has a headache and Lizzie gives him some aspirin, Alan looks at is suspiciously, but he takes the pill.

Phillip and James are taking a walk on the Spaulding grounds. James says forget it. Go back inside and be father of the bride. James walks away. He turns around and calls to his Dad, but Phillip doesn't respond.

Previews look good!
