Episode #5140: The Scarlet Pimpernel

We are really hitting the Days Of Our Lives zone with these Camenitti girls. I could not keep track of it all and really, does it matter?

Rosie and Carmella are sisters, Rosie is seeing Frazier whose brother she used to be engaged to but she doesn't know that he is Frazier's brother. Carmella was seeing Will who told her he had a lot of money and then disappeared. Will's brother Oliver, whom Carmella did not think existed tells her Will is a liar. Carmella, because she has no character traits other than attracting and being attracted to men now fancies Oliver. Two sisters, two boyfriends with secret brothers. There must be a coma in this somewhere.

Carmella to Max: "Are you my brother's lover's ex-fiance and not telling me?"

Episode #5139: Sky Larking

This Episode Only! Ned Gets a Personality!

Yes, Ned stole money from the Scarlet Bar. Previously his personality consisted of "too dumb to know he's a spunk" but it seems a new and glorious personality awaits him as a gambling addict. Perhaps he can trot off to the community hall with Stingray for some 12 Steps.. yeah he's already great at looking confused and humble.

Harold's pontificating on What Kerry Needs continues to be tedious but poor Sky is sufficiently unsure of her new role as Mum that she lets him plant those seeds of doubt. Lots of jowl flapping over Sky's little hijinks. Stingray and Sky had some good chem going on in this ep, very amusing to watch.
