Thanks for the summary, Poirot. I'm glad I skipped this snoozer. The only redeemable thing is that we saw a lot of unusual interactions and more airtime for vets.
Nicole/Eric/Serena/Daniel/Victor: Yawn. Why is Daniel hammering Victor so hard about Xander? Now WE know that Victor still meets with Xander (and I'm upset about that), but Daniel has no reason to believe that it is so. As for Nicole and Serena, I can't say how tired I am of their constant confrontations, or Eric obsessing over what went down in the boiler room. Enough already! Unfortunately thanks to Serena's childish eavesdropping, we know that she'll probably blackmail them or simply reveal the truth to Daniel.
JJ/Sonny: Sonny, just because you've got even less of a spine than John Kerry and refuse to stand up for yourself doesn't mean that Paige should just give in to JJ's demands and they should keep seeing each other.
The Abigail storyline is decent but I'm sick of Ben being involved. Please, someone wake me up when he's gone.
It still shocks me that for a Sweeps month, the show is THIS uneventful! Even with possible tweaking from the new writers, the best they can come up with is yet another pregnancy/who's the daddy or Paige's silly revenge?
