Erica is throwing a surprise party for Bianca. Wouldn't Lily be invited? In that case, why is Kendall wearing BRIGHT RED? I can see how Kendall, scatter-brained idiot that she is, would forget, and I can understand how Erica, as self-centered as she is, doesn't buy a clue right away, but JACKSON? He comes in, they DISCUSS the fact that Lily will be there, he's there for a WHILE, and he even TALKS to Kendall and Greenlee, yet it doesn't occur to him, either. Nor does it occur to Greenlee or Ryan, who have also witnessed Lily's red-induced meltdowns. And I don't for the LIFE of me understand why everyone is so blase' about Lily just wandering around town all by herself at all hours of the day and NIGHT when she has had NUMEROUS incidents that would seem to indicate she should have at least a LITTLE supervision. It's not like Jackson can't AFFORD it, for Christ's sake!

Erica says that surely she and Greenlee can put aside their animosities for one evening. How many times have we heard THAT from the two of them? And why is Greenlee blaming ERICA for Ryan finding out that Chris was not his father. Because she gave Ryan Chris's stuff?

Jonathan threatens imminent violence and Bianca and Miranda escape by barely a hair when Babe distracts him. Babe is still IN his clutches, and Bianca takes the baby and runs to ... the FUCKING BOATHOUSE???? Here's an idea if you don't want to go home, Bianca: how about going to the POLICE STATION? Don't like that? How about the mall or grocery store or any other PUBLIC PLACE where you and your baby might be relatively SAFE? The FUCKING ***BOATHOUSE***???? AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!! She takes the baby to the ONE place that is dark, isolated and known for having violent and/or nefarious dealings occur within its confines (along with various and sundry romantic and/or friendly interactions). Dead BODIES pop up there on occasion, for Christ's sake! She's weak and shaky? Tough shit, Bianca, you're a MOM -- you aren't ALLOWED to be weak and shaky when your baby's safety is in imminent DANGER! You have to save that for AFTER the crisis passes -- that's the way it WORKS! Be weak and shaky in the CAR with the doors locked if you can't wait until you get somewhere else! Sure enough, Jonathan is lurking outside the boathouse now waiting to pounce on Bianca, her baby and possibly Babe, although he will wait until ONE of the "adults" leaves.

Ya know, it just occurred to me that there is a possible way that AMC might "rehabilitate" Babe (along the lines of their usual manner in redeeming "bad girls") -- since she just rescued Bianca and will probably stand up to Jonathan, it MAY be that he will actually beat the shit out of her (not just a hard slap) and land her in the hospital. Mind you, I'm not RECOMMENDING that AMC take this route, but I now see it as a distinct possibility that may already be in the works; they may see it as a way to punish Babe so that people will be more inclined to forgive her.

I'm guessing that Bianca's fear of Jonathan will be the premise for her leaving town -- she and Maggie and the baby will go underground.

P.S. I realize that the blinking red text emphasized in the first paragraph is annoying -- can you IMAGINE how annoying it must be to LILY? Point made.
