Storyline

After Axel's appearance from the bedroom revealed that the secret party got out of hand, Roman makes Nicole his dishwasher, indefinitely. For Geoff it's far worse: Christine has him formally charged for breaking the absurd restraining order. Melody won't talk to him anymore, even tells her wicked mother she loves her. Jai arrives but clearly doesn't believe Miles will be reliable this time.

User Reviews

"Nicole, you've just got to stop being so selfish.And then you might actually make some real friends around here."

Geoff's behaviour here almost makes up for his actions in the last episode as he proves he really does care for Melody.Although going round to see her when he's just been arrested for doing just that is probably not the brightest idea.Interesting how Irene doesn't criticise either him or Annie for their actions although maybe she thinks they're in enough trouble as it is.And the middle of it all Christine makes an almost unnoticeable comment that implies there's more to her behaviour than meets the eye.

Jai's entrance doesn't make much of an impression as he's even more withdrawn than Melody, although at least he lets his guard down momentarily with Ric.Nicole's situation is more interesting-it's telling that she hasn't considered how her actions might affect Leah and even more telling that she apologises to her but asks her not to tell Roman.

But why do they keep using that clip of Irene and Oliver in the recap? It just hammers home the point that the storyline hasn't gone anywhere for the past week.
