What the hell is wrong with Noah and Eden? These two brats need to be put on a leash. Every time they go outside they end up running off somewhere. They're worse than my dog. Even after everything they've been through they just don't listen. Nicholas stupidly let Noah go to visit Eden at Michael's apartment after Brad's funeral and told him to go there and nowhere else and Noah ended up at the cemetery. Michael let Eden go buy some milk and she wound up at the cemetery too. How many people have to die before these rotten kids learn to obey?

I can understand Nick being upset that Noah was drinking, I mean Noah is stupid enough when he's sober. But bringing up Cassie over and over again as it relates to underage drinking is really a stretch. Cassie did not die from underage drinking, she died from underage stupidity. I get that the show wants to tie her death to some kind of After School Special about teens and alcohol, but the fact is that Cassie wasn't drinking when she died. She had a crush on a guy who had a few too many and thought she could prove to everyone what a Big Girl she was by driving him home and crashed the car. The guy who actually did the drinking did the responsible thing by not trying to drive, and he's still alive. So they really need to knock it off trying to tie her death to drinking. It makes everyone look like even bigger idiots than they are if they don't get what really happened.

What do elephants and Brad Carlton have in common? Nothing, as far as I can recall. I've watched this show for a long time and don't remember Brad ever referring to an especial love of elephants. Yet we heard that ridiculous story from Victoria about how she bought that stupid little ceramic elephant for Brad's birthday, and I sure as hell don't remember her ever buying such a thing when they were married, do you? That chotchke has probably been sitting there since Cassandra Rawlins owned the place.

Next thing you know, Sharon swipes the damn thing. Like she wanted something to remember him by and now all of sudden this stupid knickknack is the single most defining object of Brad's life. What, no reliquaries lying around? Then on Friday Sharon swiped something Nick left behind. Is Sharon going to turn into a kleptomaniac? Maybe next week we'll see her at the Boutique stuffing scarves into her purse. Or is she a witch? Maybe she's collecting personal possessions of her former lovers so she can cast one of her voodoo spells on them and make them all stupid for her. That would explain a lot.

Why on earth are police investigating Brad's death? The man fell through the ice, it's not like he was shot to death. And even if he was it's not like they could solve the crime considering how long it took them to figure out how Ji Min died. Nevertheless, the police conveniently showed up at Jack's to ask what Brad was doing at the cabin like it makes the slightest difference in the world, just for contrivance's sake. It was a ham-fisted way to illustrate the guilt Sharon feels about sending Brad away, and she assured us that "Not a day goes by" that she doesn't think about that. I should hope not, it's only been two days.
