Where the hell is Summer? Does anyone know? Does
anyone care?
First Sharon comes over and Phyllis says Summer is
upstairs sleeping. Then Nick comes home and Phyllis
says she has to go check on Summer. Then Sharon
leaves, and Daniel storms in demanding bail money
for Amber. Then Nick runs off to look for Noah. Then
Phyllis gets all wound up about it and runs out of
the house. Leaving Summer ALONE in the house.
At first I thought maybe I missed something. Maybe
they took Summer to the sitter. Although why they
would do that when they're home is beyond me. Who
takes their kid to the sitter when they're at home?
But no, she wasn't at the sitter's. Because after
both Phyllis and Nick got home and Nick announced he
wanted a separation, Phyllis accused him of tip toe-ing
past Summer's room so as not to wake her. That means
Summer was upstairs asleep when Phyllis ran off to
break into Sharon's room, and was upstairs by
herself when Noah and Eden were downstairs having
sex on the sofa. But if the sound of her mother
screaming "Say it to me!" over and over again
downstairs doesn't wake Summer up, I guess the sound
of teenage sex won't either.
Is there some weird satisfaction women get from
cutting up their rivals' clothes that I'm unaware
of? It's the same thing Drucilla did to Carmen
Mesta. Are the writers just reaching into the grab
bag and recycling old storylines? What's next? Will
Phyllis hire a Brad look-alike, or, a Brad-alike if
you will, to gaslight Sharon? And if she does, will
Sharon wind up in the same psych ward Drucilla was
in? And then will she fall of a cliff? Again?
Even in jail, Sharon is in good company. Almost
everyone in Genoa City has been in jail. Victor's
been in jail. Katherine's been in jail. Daniel,
Nick, Phyllis, Noah, Michael, Kevin, Jana and Gloria
have all been in jail. Is there anyone in this town
who hasn't been in jail? Sort of a right of passage.
Aw, look how cute Noah is, following in his daddy's
footsteps and having sex on the couch in the living
room. Poor kid. How many times have Nick and Phyllis
had sex on that very same sofa when anyone could
have walked in on them but never did? Yet Noah tries
it one time, and BOOM. Coitus interruptus. And why
exactly did Noah's "friends" think he was
experienced with women? What women? The only person
Noah has ever spent the night with is Sam to the
best of my knowledge. And after all those sleepovers
with Sam I shudder to think what or who his friends
thought he had experience with.
I'm starting to see why Noah has been so cavalier
about his parents catching him with Eden though. And
why he just keeps wandering off or leaving the house
after every fight with them. He's probably banking
on the fact that eventually they will simply forget
he even exists. It's not without precedent. Look at
Summer. Who cares for Noah? His dad walks out, his
mother's in jail, and neither of them even bother to
call him and let him know they won't be home that
night. So Noah winds up staying with the woman his
father just walked out on? The same woman who just
cut up his mother's clothes? And neither of his
parents give a rat's ass.
What happened to Noah's hair? He used to comb it
straight forward, kind of like Herman Munster. But
after losing his virginity now it's all tousled and
brushed back. I guess his nether regions weren't the
only thing that got blown away. But if sex makes
your hair look better, what's Sharon's excuse? She's
spent more time on her back in the last month than
she has on her feet and yet she's still got all
those little flyaway pieces that make her look like
she just rubbed a balloon on her head. Maybe she
needs to sleep with Eden.
