Today's episode of AMC was just weird. Ok, beyond weird!
Ryan comes to Opal and tells her that he
just can't get their meeting out of his mind.
Of course, Gillian shows up and stirs the pot. She keeps telling Opal what to say but Opal is fighting her and
not saying exactly what Gillian wants her to say. Ryan tells her that he will get them a table (they are at the
Valley Inn) and while he's gone, she has a rather heated conversation with
Gillian, telling her that she needs to get someone else to do this because
she's just not up for it. Adam and Liza
walk in and think she's lost her mind.
But Opal can get away with things like that since she's a "colorful"
character. Opal rambles about needing a
steak and goes in to sit down with Ryan.
Gillian pops in (like a bad episode of Bewitched) and forces Opal to
take Ryan's hand, utter some words of passion, and put his hand to her
chest. Ryan is mesmerized and he leans
in to kiss Opal while Liza and Adam look on.
Ryan stops himself and leaves the table. Liza follows him like the good girl scout that she's been with
him lately and tries to figure out what's going on. He tells her that he's drawn to Opal for some reason....that he
wants to be with her. "With
with?" asks Liza. No, not "with
with", just close to. He goes to
the maitre D' and pays the check. He
asks him to tell Opal that he has to leave.
About this time Gillian is fed up with Opal refusing to be her
"psychic connection" and moves in to Opal's body, making herself
right at home. The Maitre D' comes over
and tells her that Ryan had to leave and "Gillian" calls after
him. She then announces "I am
back!"
Adam and Liza are having dinner at the
Valley Inn also, when the judge shows up for dinner. Adam nearly swallows his tongue.
He and Liza talk to her and comment on what a "small world" it
is. When Liza gets up to talk to Ryan,
Adam gets up to talk to the judge. She
comments on how difficult it's going to be to explain what a small world it is
when Liza sees who the presiding judge over David's trial is going to be. It will be hard to keep all those balls in
the air because when one falls, they will all come falling down around his
feet. Adam maintains that he has a
contingency plan.
David is at the beach moping when Mia shows
up. She fawns over him with praise and
admiration for saving Laura's life, for putting everything on the line for
love, and for just being who he is.
David falls for it. He tells her
that someone must have sent her--and it must be God who's decided that he's due
for some kindness in his life for a change.
Mia leaves and goes to see Adam.
Adam tells her that they will take David down together.
Leo and Laura get ready to make love when
Laura stops things long enough to announce that she's a virgin. She's never loved anyone enough to give
herself to them but now she's ready to give it up to her husband. After they make love she wants to go for it
a second time, but Leo makes the excuse that he needs some recuperation time. After she falls asleep, he thinks about
Greenlee.
Greenlee is at the loft with Jake who's
injured his knee playing basketball.
Greenlee is storming around screaming about how she's' going to change
her life--her clothes, her attitude--everything! She's no longer going to be everyone's personal dumping ground. She starts throwing clothes away--and ends
up banging Jake's leg with the garbage can.
He screams in pain and she apologizes.
She tells him that Leo finally gave her some closure. He accuses her of using him to make Leo
jealous. Greenlee is offended. She says that she doesn't want to hurt him
like Greenlee did because she really likes him. So much, in fact, that she's moving out. She packs what's left of her clothes
(because Jake obviously hasn't gotten her stuff out of storage yet) and leaves
to live in her unfinished penthouse with no door or electricity. Not sure why she can't afford to go to the
Valley Inn--or even the Pine Cone for that matter.
