Hey Michael,

What a super read this was! Easily one of my favorite episodes thus far.

Starting off with the opening scene with Kevin and Charlene. So much tension as he clearly wants to have a relationship with her and she is still, although it's unclear why, determined to stay married to Patrick. I think the tension between Kevin and Charlene was awesome, and it sort of drew me into rooting for them after Patrick was a complete asshole to her at the party and after Deborah went after her as well. This was, by far, my favorite scenes of the episode.

The Caitlyn storyline was pretty good too. I love how her ex is back in town, and I suspect the secret he has is that their daughter is alive. I'm not sure, but it'll be a great dramatic twist. I'm not sure that he is in love with Gillian either.

I also loved the Helen interaction with Mac as she is now trying to back peddle as she doesn't want to lose her marriage. Fantastic ending though with Adian showing up on Gail's doorstep.

The Cassie babysitting scenes were interesting as well -- I kept waiting for something to happen. I just got the feeling that something bad was going to happen to Meggan ... maybe its still coming!

I loved the episode though; I cant wait for the next!

Thanks for reading Dallas! It means so much to me:]

I love writing for Charlene and Kevin because they have this edge to them. In the future these two will have to make a decision and for the most part, it is all on Charlene's shoulders. The relationship with Charlene and Patrick is very rocky. You will find out more later on about why Patrick chose to marry Charlene and how they ended up the way they did. Glad to see you rooting for Charlene and Kevin although it's taboo. There is a lot more to Kevin that I haven't touched up on and Charlene is one of my most insecure characters.

There are a lot more twists and turns in this storyline. Caitlyn doesn't even know why type of natural disaster Damien can be. Not yet at least. These two went from being in love to hating each other because the death of their daughter Danielle. All I can say is that there will be plenty of fights, manipulations and disasters heading their way! The fun thing about this is that it opens wounds for Patrick and James as well.

Helen is by far my most flawed character. The fact that she wants her little world to stay the same is what edges her to plan these plots and schemes against everyone else. She will know doubtingly fight for what she believes is right. There is so much more to explore with her and the next couple episodes will show her vulnerable side if just a tad.

The babysitting scenes were to help Cassie realize that the baby inside of her wasn't as horrible as she had originally thought. As her story picks up there will be more moments like this between her and other characters. Look for certain character's to be orbiting her as the story gets going. There are some great twists in this storyline as well.

Like I said before thank you so much for reading and I hope you continue to keep reading Dallas! :]
