What in the hell is up with that dumb cabin? Does anyone understand why people keep going there? Me neither. Every time people go up there, they either get kidnapped, stranded or pregnant. It's supposed to belong to the Abbott family but even strangers wander in. There must be a big sign out front that says "Intruders Welcome." Is this really a place to go and have a romantic picnic right after your niece was killed there? Where are Billy and Mac going to rendezvous next, Auschwitz?

And what the hell were Chloe and Chance doing there? Chloe's claim on Abbott property is tenuous at best. I mean I can understand her saying, "What the hell, we're in the vicinity, and the door's always wide open to any stranger who cares to enter," but once she found Billy and Mac there you'd think she'd have the class the excuse herself rather than try to assert some kind of family right to the place equal to Billy's. Then again maybe she's just confused, I mean the way everyone and their brother goes to that place whether they're an Abbott or not, you'd think it was a highway rest stop.

Do you think Sharon asked the Abbott's permission before she scattered "Faith's" ashes on their lawn? Because that had to be one awkward conversation. First Sharon told Jack the baby was his, then later had to admit it wasn't his. Then she had to explain the baby was Nick's, the result of an affair she had while still legally married to Jack. An affair that happened at Jack's cabin. Then she wanted to "honor" the memory of her indiscretion by scattering the baby's ashes there. Jack should have smacked her.

I guess Jack is still a doormat though. He's still enabling Sharon, and even offered to let her live in Brad's house. Did Sharon say she was going to redecorate? Oh, the horror. I remember what happened when she did that over at the Abbott mansion. She had fuchsia and chartreuse pillows on the sofa and hideous art all over the walls. Can Jack actually believe the mental hospital changed Sharon "for the better?" I fail to see how her group therapy helped her at all. Although I bet it was a big help to the group. Once they'd been subjected daily to the litany of Sharon's many travesties I bet they felt a whole lot better about themselves. I know I do.

Why the hell would Sharon want to live in Brad's house anyway? It's like the cabin. Everyone who has ever lived there has died. First the Rawlins, then Brad himself, and then Colleen. I'd sooner move into the haunted house at Disneyland. And Noah's going to live there too? Which dead person's room will he choose for himself? Sounds like he wants the one with the master bathroom. You mean to tell me in a mansion like that there's only one bedroom with an attached bath? This home will never be featured on HGTV.

Poor Adam, having to go through such machinations to steal Sharon's baby and give it to Ashley. If only he had known how easy it was to steal babies, he could have waited until Ashley was transferred to Genoa City Memorial. Apparently, you can go into the nursery where they keep the babies, and just take one for the asking. You can then wheel them all around the hospital and even visit patients who have just had heart transplants. Where the hell are all the nurses in this place? Surely they're aware how rich and powerful Victor Newman is with all the money he throws around. God knows he never lets anyone forget it. Yet his baby is left alone and ripe for kidnapping by anyone who happens by. Oh, Patty, what an opportunity you missed.

Maybe all Nikki had to do was say "I'm here to take Victor's baby to him" and they just let her. They didn't care if she was the baby's mother or not, all they had to hear was "Victor" and they all jumped. That's what everyone seems to do. After Paul had a few choice words for the man, I couldn't believe Nikki had the colossal gall to say to Victor "I hope Paul didn't upset you to much." Upset HIM? Let's see, Colleen's dead, Summer's brain damaged (more so than before), and Paul's sister is in a padded cell, all thanks to Victor. But God forbid someone upset HIM.

What's with this carnival that came to town? I've never seen anyone at a carnival before. Yet Nicholas claimed to have gone to several of them with Cassie. When? He didn't adopt her until she was seven, and then she had tuberculosis, and then he had a lot of fights with Sharon, and then Cassie died. I don't know where he fitted the Tilt-a-Whirl in there. And how come Katherine said Murphy was responsible for these carnivals yet nobody ever met the man until now?

Oh the irony of Phyllis and Lauren hoping they'd be Katherine years from now. Well, they already have multiple marriages under their belts so they're off to a good start. So long as they can avoid the drinking, the amnesia and the identical doubles . . . oh, oops! Phyllis has had one of those too. Yes, I'd say they are definitely on the right path to becoming the next Katherine Chancellor. I guess if you have to aspire to be anyone in this town, she's as good as any.
