I can't think of anything more horrible than the prospect of the spawn of Cane and Lily. Given their combined lack of personality I can only imagine how insipid and boring their offspring would be. We're talking so monumentally dull a child of theirs would probably approach an electric eye door and not get it to open.

Why does everyone want Lily? Why would anyone want Lily? Felicia Forrester wanted Lily to do the ads for her fashions in the same magazine where Lily would be appearing in ads for Jabot. What kind of boneheaded business move is that? It would be like if Vanna White did ALL the game shows. Hey, maybe Lily can just be in all the ads. She can model fashion, makeup, jewelry, furniture and weight loss products. Only, not so much that last one for much longer. Forget "Restless Style," they can just call it "The Lily Magazine."

Oh, the irony of Lily asking Colleen if she could imagine that Drucilla had never had her. I can certainly imagine it, and what a wonderful thing that would have been. Not only for us, but for her as well. In fact, half the children of Genoa City would have been better off if they had never been born at all.

Reed is certainly one of them. JT and Victoria went to Chicago? Didn't Victoria tell Sabrina just the day before that she couldn't go to LA because of the baby? Did they leave the baby behind with a sitter? Why did they go to Chicago anyway? Victoria sure forgot about wanting to be a mother so badly in an awful hurry, didn't she?

So apparently Adam's MBA from Harvard not only made him an expert in the wonderful world of women's cosmetics, but he's got a good eye for fashion too. No wonder he left Wall Street, he was probably a laughing stock there. But for all his alleged experience and wisdom he doesn't seem to be aware that you can fix a photo in Photoshop for FREE because he told Phyllis he knew it was going to cost "a lot of money" to improve the colors. Before it's even gone to press.

And speaking of photos, where did Victor get the formal portrait of Adam to add to his collection on the piano? I wouldn't guess that Adam is walking around with a stack of 5x8 glossies of himself in a business suit but maybe I'm assuming too much.

I can't figure this kid out. I don't know if Chris Engen is just a horrible actor or if he's woefully miscast. But he's coming across as a creepy, sociopathic sexual predator and I'm reasonably certain that's not what the writers are going for. He barged into Phyllis and Nick's house on the pretense of fixing an ad then started asking Phyllis some very personal questions about her marriage and told her he "knew" she was attracted to him. She should have called the police. He wound up stealing her hair tie and I half expected him to start sniffing it like it was her panties. If the writers are going for the next Matt Clark or Cameron Kirsten they should have hired someone with a little more edge to him than some bland, generically cute kid who looks like he should be on one of those ABC Family shows.
