I finally saw this episode and it seemed to be that its general theme was "please make it stop."
Nicole: Why is she keeping up the pretense that the sourpuss will make a great father? Why? How can be any kind of father if he isn't much of a person?
Writers: Why do they keep shoving the idea that the Brady-Kristen baby plot is poignant? As I've said before, he's a clues twit and she's a vicious, selfish psychopath.
Victor: Why does he continue to pretend that Brady is better than Xander? Brady is the idiot who has repeatedly fallen for Kristen and rarely went to work when he was CEO. In contrast, Xander wears a suit and actually goes to the office, and for all her faults, his love interest, Sarah, is vastly superior to the unspeakable Kristen.
Ciara & Will: Why do they keep acting as though Will's release could be right around the corner? By now, Victor has certainly made sure that there's not a shred of evidence that ties Maggie to the fatal accident. And even if the old grouch confessed to a frame-up, the authorities might not listen. District attorneys tend to hang on to convictions like grim death. Imagine the following conversation:
- Assistant D.A.: "Ms. Trask, Victor Kiriakis is on the phone claiming that he framed Will Horton for the Adrienne Kiriakis accident."
- Melinda: "Hang up. That case is closed."
Finally, how did Brady and Kristen get the grave marker placed so quickly? Anywhere but Salem, this can take months. Does Salem have a quickie headstone company that can get a stone in place before the dearly departed is cold in his/her grave?
