Slightly ahead of the learning curve, I cannot
understand this exchange between Jana Hawkes and
Daniel Romalotti.
Jana: "Amber took an early flight."
Daniel: "What did she take an early flight for?"
Gosh, could it be Amber Moore didn't want to watch
Daniel fawning over a 7-year-old girl? With her
squeaky voice and 2nd grade mentality that's what
Colleen Carlton appears to be. Christ, Ana Hamilton
is light years ahead of Colleen. And why, when he'd
gone the night before to check on Amber, when he
obviously still has the hots for her, would Daniel
be sucking around Colleen at the Jana Hawkes/Kevin
Fisher wedding? Why would a little girl even attend
the wedding of someone who tried to kill her?
Moreover, who invited Colleen? Jana? Wouldn't it
have occurred to her that with Amber as her wedding
planner, with Amber and best man Daniel star-crossed
lovers, having Colleen around might make Amber
uncomfortable? Wasn't that why Amber moved Jana's
stag party to her rented penthouse? Wasn't it lame
that Amber would pick the Indigo as her first choice
for the party when she must have known Daniel would
be taking Colleen there on a date? After all, where
else do people in this city go on dates except maybe
a movie and then it's straight to the Indigo or JJ
where they then participate in the local jazz club's
Karaoke night event. Never mind that besides Ana and
Devon, Colleen and Daniel were the only
participants.
And who is running the Jitter Joint?
Unless Malcolm Winters returned to serve muffins and
chocolate cake and make salads and anything else on
the coffee shop's multifaceted menu, the JJ staff
went to the wedding. And what a wedding it was.
Disliking the phrase 'I don't know about you', I
must ask if you appreciate that guests at the
wedding you attend are having sex on the floor?
Given it was a hippie wedding, nudity would be
understandable, but sex in plain view? The bride and
groom getting it on down the hall? The stand-in
father of the bride bitching and moaning that his
guru/preacher/father is nothing but "a sperm donor"?
The groom's aging mother being told she hasn't aged
a day since Lowell Baldwin saw her at least fifteen
years ago? The groom's new step-daddy griping that
the old woman is his "glow" now and for old man
Baldwin to keep his paws off Gloria Bardwell?
There's nothing like two old men acting like jealous
teenagers, but let us delve a bit deeper. When he
pronounced Kevin and Jana man and wife, did guru
Baldwin say that he was empowered by the State of
California to wed crazies, or anyone for that
matter? Would it not have crossed attorney Michael
Baldwin's mind that the marriage isn't legal?
Speaking of crazy, how loony was it that Daniel
would say Jana and Kevin are the best friends a guy
could ever have? Perhaps, when you don't have any
other friends, when your step-brother is almost as
old as you, Kevin and Jana are the best you can get.
But for crying out loud, Kevin and Jana "set an
example" for Daniel and he hopes to have a marriage
just like theirs? How long have the Fishers been
married? A day?
Give 'em a few months and the Fisher's will be at
each other's throat. There's still a tumor in what
remains of Jana's head. Have you wondered too where
the Fishers will honeymoon, or was the trip to
California it? If only they knew, Kevin and Jana
could catch a bus to Mexico and make it in time to
catch the Death Boat waiting to set sail.
