Inside Ron's Mega Mind Is A Story Just Waiting To Be Mutilated.
If at first you don't succeed, try and try and try and try again. That's Ron Carlivati's motto. If Rex and Gigi aren't working, then he transports them through time and space via cell phones and television waves. In the "1968" story, Rex and Gigi became different characters who slept together and created David Vickers. That was a disaster of a story, so Ron tossed in an interloper so abhorrent that even people who hated the pairing began to root for them in spite of their common sense and good taste. Still not working? Cast a Bag of Blood and let it play the role of hero and villain. While it saves Rex and Gigi's love child, it connects Rex to one of the most infamous characters in the show's history, Mitch Lawrence. Not working yet? Let the Bag of Blood Have Rex and Gigi go on a quest for Rex's real parents. Let them discover that his parents were a set of forlorn lovers; make the blonde boy's mother a Native American and make his father a gangster and then have Rex and Gigi play his mother and father. If you still didn't GAF, Ron decided to make Rex Balsom a Buchanan. (That aughta make Asa glad not to be in the land of the living.) And because people still didn't GAF, Ron killed Gigi off. You see, that's what he does for his characters when nobody cares about them. He kills them off, then he magically brings them back from the dead in hopes that people have forgotten how unimportant they were.
No such gimmicks needed for Viki and Clint's reunion. They have real history and staying power (Yes! Staying Power, even though the show is going off the air.) Reuniting them only took the nudging of their two twins, Jessica and Natalie who are experts in the field of love. Natalie is in love with John McBain ('nuff said). Jessica is involved with the man who raped her and got her pregnant. But what the hell! If it takes these two dullards to get their parents back together then so be it. Clint and Viki have a long history together and as the show comes to a close, they end up together, as it should be.
No Joy In Jolieville:
On the other side of town, John McBain played nurse maid to The Widow Delgado because she she was suffering from a bad case of gas mixed with a case of the grumpies because she believes that Todd killed her husband and then made her brother disappear. John assured her that they will bring that evil son of a bitch, Manning down for his dastardly deeds. John cautions the hot tempered Widow Delgado to cool off for the sake of Victor Lord Junior's baby.
A Christmas miracle caused John remember that he has a baby boy of his own and he made his way over to Llanfair with presents and an apology for Natalie for his being such an ass, but their conversation was interrupted (big surprise) by Shane who told him that he had evidence that proves that Jack killed his "Mom". (So much for John and Natalie getting closer.)
Over at LaBoulaie, Everyone, including Jack, is in the Christmas spirit. In fact, they have so much of the Christmas spirit that they went over to Rapehaus to give the Widow Delgado and Dani some and it must have worked because soon after they left, Dani discovered some gifts for her and her mom with a special note from special needs Victor, telling them how much they meant to him.
Blair, Starr, Jack and Sam returned home to see Todd dressed like Santa and placing presents beneath the tree. Blair smiled at Todd and thanked him (That was the T&B moment that Ron promised on twitter), but no good thing lasts for the Mannings. John soon arrived to announce that Jack was being arrested for the murder of Gigi Morasco.
