This episode features Dr. John Finnegan. What is so “nice’, from the way he dresses, smiles at everything, just “gets” all ideas abstract and mechanical, and is willing to to anything for the love of Steffy? Just about everything, from his too perfect smile to his baby powder blue sweatwershirt.

A man in Finn’s shoes would notice that of a Liam, who has a child with Steffy and can’t seem to stop loving her. Finn is one honest man. He goes right to Liam and says his close attachment to Steffy makes him uncomfortable. It his almost Finn is *too good* to be true. Are we seeing foreshadowing of another side of the Doctor?

Highlighted above on the summary sheet with the true fun on the episode, the ravings of Thomas!

From his bragging “I am damn good at what I do – actually, I am the best,” he continued on with Hope” I’ve got the talent, the experience and the *pedigree*” Humans with pedigree. Sounds troubling, and past being prologue, that’s something to watch for – the DNA/dynasty thing. Here is a rare case of a third generation of a company being loaded with most artistic genius and business talent.

When I was 12, I, like so many of you, already lost 3 close family members to battles with cancer.
Alyvia Alyn Lind, as Faith Newman, does a most wondrous job of showing exactly how it feels to have the weight of this disease hurts you while at the same time having the determination not to allow it to affect her life more than her mother, played by Sharon Case, would want.

The song “My Brave Face” by Paul McCartney was written as a reaction to the death of Paul’s wife Linda.  Linda also died of cancer and the emotions one goes through in trying to stop an invisible killer could only be turned into a silver-lining song by the best of songwriters and performers — as that of a Sir Paul.

Where does the Machiavelli statement about “dealing out severities all at once” versus “giving out benefits slowly” apply to this episode?

Machiavelli on dealing with severities versus favors

I included the idea because Devon, upon being betrayed by two people, both of whom he gave out benefits slowly, dealt his reaction with a sudden harshness.  Many would say, “How very un-Devon! He should be quick to forgive, he has made mistakes himself.”

This “nice-guy” Devon was being kinder by dealing his responses swiftly, harshly and directly.  The alternative is the Billy Abbott personality flaw: instead of confronting the person or people with whom he wants to settle an issue or right a wrong, he sneaks around, takes his time, uses secret surveillance, lowering himself beneath the person he even went after, as Adam is more sympathetic at this point than Billy.

Devon is a true adult.  he was not going to sneak around and sabatoge with Dr. Nate Hastings or live-in partner Dr. Elena Dawson slowly, drawing out pain for a woman he loved with all his heart, a cousin he trusted with all his mind, and a free-clinic completed with the two that helped the most in need of that health care, feeding Devon’s spirit.

You might think that Zoe would know that Thomas is a seriously manipulative, completely selfish man, ,who cannot said to be sadistic toward his son, Hope or even Zoe as much as he is delusional for thinking, “What is best for Thomas Forrester is best for the lives of everyone affected, which included, Douglas, Zoe, Liam and Steffy.
