The Prince is Giving A Ball! Sweeps in Review 10/31-11/2

Yeah, I totally stole the title for this thread from Roger & Hammerstein's Cinderella. Long live Stuart Damon! Anyway, November has been quite a busy month in Port Chuck....so let's take a look, shall we?

We start off on the docks, and in a totally predictable fashion, everybody runs into the people they do not want to see. Jerry is trying to convince Alexis to take him as her date to the ball. I'm sorry, but forget Sonny's dimples, I could listen to Sebastian Rouche talk everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Ric and Skye show up and Ric does not like what he sees...which prompts Alexis to take Jerry after all. Good girl!

Also, Johnny knocks out Scott to steal his invitation. Why, you ask? Because Lulu is in trouble!! Anthony is out to kill her!! Do TPTB really think that we would think Anthony is soooo evil because we wants to kill Lulu? Most fans will erect a statue is his honor.

Cut to Windermere. Nikolas donates a wing in the hospital to Alan.....but there are no Quartermaines there to here this....only Em. Isn't that disgusting? Anway, Nik and Em have an announcement....they are engaged....again! Everybody cheers!! Out of excitement, (okay, maybe excitement is the wrong word) Lucky and Liz dance together, mimicking their first time at the ball.

Sam does not like this dancing nonsense and she calls Liz out on it. Liz tells Sam she's an evil, selfish bitch &she knows that Sam watched Jake get kidnapped. Because Jason trusts her enough to tell her. Insert patented Liz eyeroll/smirk here. Sam is all like "Bitch, please, I get to screw Lucky, AND he takes his shirt off....so take that!" Then there's a catfight!! Seriously, there are probably a million men all over the world who would die to see Kelly Monaco and Rebecca Herbst clawing at each other. Maybe for his next party, Nikolas could build a mudpit on the dance floor.

But they are not the only ones fighting. Scott and Luke are also fighting about Lulu and Logan's relationship. I did not enjoy this scene at all. Scott and Luke are hilarious together, but seeing them prop Lulu and Logan makes me sad. They are sooooooo much better than this.

And of course Johnny is all going nuts because precious LuLu is in danger. Ugh, enough is enough, seriously. I saw more chemistry in the couple of minutes he was dancing with Maxie than with Lulu. Let's explore that, writers!

You might be wondering why Carly hasn't been mentioned yet. Well that's because all she's doing at thhis point is text messaging Leticia's killer and not telling anyone. And she keeps pulling her cellphone out of her bra....um, you're at a formal ball!! Classy one, that Carly is.

But she's not the only one who isn't minding her manners. Patrick is feeding Leyla with his fingers. PEOPLE!! THIS IS A FORMAL BALL! And to think, this is a doctor and a nurse. You think they would know better, what with germs and all that!

And you know Robin isn't enjoying the view of Leyla and Patrick. But ever the loyal friend, she congratulates Nik on his engagment. And then kinda asks him for his sperm. Yeah, you heard me. He just got engaged to her friend and she asked him to father her child. I was kinda stunned when I heard that....but I support anything that would ever lead to a Robin/Nikolas pairing.

After her sperm request is denied Robin is comforted by Maxie and Georgie. It's actually a very cute scene. The Maxie gets mad, calls Leyla a skank, and rips off her pearl necklace. Uh, okay.

Uh-oh! It's Anthony Zachara! And he's playing with some kinda big piece of string. But I doubt he's playing cats-in-a-cradle.


This just in! Carly found the text-message killer. Wait, it's only Coop. Maxie becomes Coop's human shield to ensure that Carly doesn't shoot him. Ever the gentleman, Coop doesn't move, he just stands behind her. Maxie, he maybe hot, but that's just really chicken. Especially for a cop!

Emily and Nik spend some alone time together, which Em uses to prop Jason/Liz, and basically dump on Lucky. What a great friend. It's not like Lucky didn't take a bullet and almost die for you, Em. No not at all. Nik flips out on her, but forgets not less than 20 seconds later.

Liz also sees Nik's mood swings, and Emily clues her in on Nik's problem. She tells Liz that because of this ilness, Nik is afraid to spend time with Spencer. But what was the excuse before that?

This isn't the last of Nik's mood swings. Not by far. In an obvious chemistry test, Nik soothes Leyla over the loss of her pearls, a family heirloom, and insists on finding the killer.....of the pearl necklace. He later overhears Patrick and Robin arguing, and has a blackout. He beats up Patrick on Robin and Leyla's behalf. Patrick is miffed afterwards, but I think he's just mad that Nikolas totally owned him.

But a pearl necklace is the very least of all the problems. A storm is brewing, and everbody has to sleepover at Windermere! As if on cue, the lights go out.

Oh, and Logan is all mad that Lulu ran off with Johnny and starts man-handling poor Nadine (who looks better in the dress than Lulu, in my opinion.) But not to fear-it's Spinelli to the rescue!!

Ric still has his panties in a bunch over the fact that Alexis took Jerry to the ball. Alexis tells Ric that she can kick his ass! Classic!

Oh, and Sonny showed up. He flirts with Kate. That's it. Oh, and they have "The Talk." No, not about marriage....about his "business."

But he's not the only one to show up! In a scene that made me laugh so hard I nearly peed myself, we see Jason, full-speed, on this jet-ski type device on the way to the ball! Have any of you guys ever seen Grease 2? I don't blame you if you didn't but there is one scene where Michael is riding his motorcycle and you hear Stephanie sing a song called "Cool Rider" in the background. This is what was playing in my head while seeing Jason riding this jet-ski. LABC & I proceeded to call him Jason "Cool Rider" Morgan for the rest of the week.

In other news, Sam is giving Lucky the cold shoulder over his dance with Liz, Robin faints, and Liz wandered off by herself and finds a dead guy in the closet. More on that next time.

We then hear Alexis scream! It seems that Ric has been speared by a sword! Ruh-roh, Scooby!

Stay tuned for the recap of the week of the 5th-9th. Probably tomorrow night or Monday. Will Ric live? Can Skye's hair get any higher? Will Lulu ever STFU and do what she's told? And what else can Carly pull out of her dress? Stay tuned....
