Well I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. Mine was pleasant, but I'm sure no one cares so on to the show:

Last week was a nice week for the characters to spend time together and for us to have some light-hearted moments.

Brenda told Sonny about Alexander and Dante's part in the cover-up. Sonny convinced Brenda to stop blaming herself and then asked her out on a date.

Claire asked to join Alexis' and Diane's law firm which was a funny scene. I knew that was going to happen eventually.

Molly and Spinelli planned a romantic moment for Jason and Sam which was sweet and cute.

At the Quartermaine house:
Lucky brought Siobhan who quickly charmed Edward.
Lulu conned Dante into coming over and he brought Michael with him (whose family went to Manhattan to see the parade), much to Edward's delight.
Maya and Ethan continued their fun banter as husband and wife.
Luke finally gave Tracy her engagement ring which almost brought her to tears (perfect moment!)

At Alexis' house:
Though she was away spending time with her father, Molly was still orchestrating things at home. With the help of her sisters, Maxie and Robin, they managed to get Mac to come over for Alexis.
Diane (who showed up with Max) approved.
Trying to help Spinelli, the girls also invited Maxie and arranged it for them to sit side by side. None of them knew Maxie invited Matt over as well. (tear shed for Spinelli)

Having a more intimate moment:
Patrick, Robin and Emma spend some time together in Robin's hospital room

Today's Episode:
Dante, Jason and Lucky work together to figure out who the Balkin is. Since Spinelli cannot tear himself from The Divine One's side, Lucky cracks into his computer and is able to access many of his files to the others' surprise. Since it seems like everyone else knows, Dante finally comes clean to Lucky (after Jason puts it out there) about him covering up the Balkan's son's murder.

Robin is released from the hospital but this after she makes a fool of herself twice when confronting Lisa. Knowing that she was going to confront people, Lisa came up to their floor (when she should be in the ER) and Robin saw her. Flipping out, Robin demanded to know why she was up there and Steve told Lisa it would be best if she had an intern bring up her papers in the future. Witnessing it, Nikolas beings to side with Lisa and is further pushed to her side when Lisa asked for him to come along when Robin pages her. Robin flat out tells her that if she comes near her family or home she will be arrested. Nikolas- the gullible moron- continues to believe that Robin is the emotional mess and confronts Patrick, declaring it is all his fault. However, Robin allows Patrick to drive her home. Little does anyone suspect that Lisa will be taking her warfare to the internet. Inspired by a patient, she finds out about a site where you can anonymously put up your complaints/side of a story and get people to side with you.

Sonny was a busy boy. He first confronts Dante and thanks him for what did for Brenda, revealing that she told him about the incident 3 years ago. Then he talks to Suzanne and tells her not to interfere with his relationship with Brenda. Next, he goes to pick up Brenda but is met with Spinelli instead. Taking a protective role, Spinelli demands to know what his intentions are for The Divine One. After a very awkward and hilarious scene between The Jackal and Mr. Sir, Brenda comes down and assures Spinelli that everything will be okay. Just as they open the door to leave, guess who is on the other side: CARLY!

Meanwhile, her husband is being requested by Suzanne. She feels like he is the only male in Brenda's life who can pull her away from Sonny. I don't know why she feels like she has the right to pull all these men away from their lives to aid Brenda when she does not want their help. Though I'm sure Jax will initially refuse, I have a feeling he will not be able to sit on the sideline knowing that Sonny is pursuing Brenda again (even though it is a mutual attraction). He will get involved which will make Carly even more determine to bring down Brenda and everything is going to hit the fan.

In more interesting news: someone is sneaking around Sam's apartment. Who could it be? My guess: Jerry Jax. He was, after all, obsessed with her before he left. Why wouldn't he still be upon his return?

My own take of today's episode:

NIKOLAS IS AN IDIOT WHO NEEDS TO KEEP HIS NOSE IN HIS OWN BUSINESS!!!! Where's Brook when you need her. He should be focusing on her and allowing her to bring out his fun side. Instead he's spending all his spare time with Lisa; defending her, making sure she is okay, supporting her, etc. It makes me sick.

I so hope that when this is all over he gets on his knees and begs Robin to forgive him for actually believing the psycho over her- someone he has known for half of his life! However, Robin is making it SO EASY for people to doubt her sanity and ability to be objective. She needs to stop her high-horse dramatics and allow Lisa to strange herself with her own rope. Also Johnny needs to come clean. After everything he has been through with Maxie, he should show some loyalty to her by helping out her family.

Spinelli's conversation with Sonny was my favorite part in the entire episode. It was so funny and sweet how Spinelli gulped down his fear for Mr. Sir and just spoke his mind in order to protect Brenda. Though Brenda doesn't need to be protected (something I wish the writers would realize and start writing her as the strong, opinionated woman she was before). It's like
