shipperxI do enjoy that though they sometimes do the expected, they do it in such a juicy -- come on, admit it, you wanted it to happen like that -- way that it's just popcorn TV. So...
* I rather enjoyed the Daniel/E-manda proposal scene. He went to such trouble. And you can see how it would play as this incredible romantic gesture... and yet... and yet... the music and the staging loaded the scene with foreboding rather than romance... which is exactly what it deserved since Emanda is playing the dude. I do think she pities him, but she goes right on using him.
* Plus E-manda using the revelation about Charlotte to get rid or A-mily. (Called Charlotte being E-manda's half-sister way back in episode 1!)
* Charlotte being basically disowned but with no real idea why. I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for the girl. Hey, Dad, you raised the girl for 18 years. Newsflash, you are her father no matter what DNA tests show. (This show is SUCH a soap! Hee!)
* E-manda actually debating placing her revenge scheme on hold... until Victoria lies to Daniel, saying that Charlotte is illegitimate because she was raped. First you accuse him of terrorism, and now of rape? Pause button off. It is so ON! Hee!
I like the fact that in this show, it's the women who drive things (and aren't above being ruthless).
