Anyhoo, I haven’t watched 152 yet, and I might be wrong, but it seems pretty clear to me how this all plays out in a Friday tearjerker. ( #SantaBarbaraNBC, however, rarely seems to go exactly where I expect it to, so can’t wait to see! ) 👀

The hour wraps on Kelly sitting at Joe’s bedside, waiting for him to wake up. #SantaBarbaraNBC

While sitting vigil, Eden and Marcello the psychiatrist manservant chat. Eden tells Marcello that she wants Sophia on the next train leaving town. Marcello basically tells her he can make that happen if Eden will sleep with him. 😬 #SantaBarbaraNBC

Ted also meets his teacher’s husband, which makes me guess that weird, icky af Pacey/Tamara/Mrs. Robinson thing they seemed to be setting up for them is likely going away as quickly as it arrived. #SantaBarbaraNBC

Joe’s doctor tells Warren and Ted that Joe is gravely injured and is not likely to survive his wounds, just in case you hadn’t yet figured out where the #SantaBarbaraNBC folks seem to be looking to land this plane in the Friday hour. 🥴

Kelly keeps Peter talking for a bit while trying to get the upper hand on him. That ends up going sideways and they start physically scuffling. Cruz bursts in through the front door and shoots Peter dead with one clean shot. Adios to the Carnation Killer! 💥 #SantaBarbaraNBC

Peter tells Cruz by phone that Kelly will die if the police try in any way to breach the house. #SantaBarbaraNBC

> #SantaBarbaraNBC > ep 151 > all righty, it’s the Thursday episode, which opens exactly where Wednesday dropped: Joe steps in front of Kelly just as Peter opens fire, and is hit. Joe bum-rushes Peter, who responds by literally throwing his injured ass through the front window.

SWAT decides to sneak in through the attic with a recording of Kelly’s voice to lure Peter upstairs and take him out. Fed up with Cruz’s indecision, Kelly finally sneaks out of the command center and slips in the back door of the Perkins house with a gun. That plan ends … poorly. 🤦🏻♂️ #SantaBarbaraNBC

Cruz tries to make Peter think that he shot Kelly — he really only shot the female cop that was dressed up as Kelly — and that she’s dying and wants him to come say goodbye. That … *almost* … works until Peter backs out at the last minute. #SantaBarbaraNBC

Anyway, 150 is the Wednesday episode of the week (OAD: 2/27/85). I’ll spare y’all the blow-by-blow and just recap: Peter has Joe at gunpoint and is continually losing his tenuous grip on reality. Cruz and co. are trying to plot a way into the house that doesn’t end with Joe dying. #SantaBarbaraNBC

Basically it’s one of those situations we occasionally see in soaps where they very clearly SEEM to want to land a super-dramatic week on a definitive moment, but they can only wring 4 strong episode breakdowns out of the situation, leaving the fifth to be stretch-y and … vamp-y. #SantaBarbaraNBC
