The storylines might not exactly have great pacing and I'm a little concerned about the idea of episodic arcs, (I firmly believe Dynasty should have at least one or two season-long arcs), but the characters and plots are very enjoyable and it's very safe to say that Fallon is in my top 3 of favorite characters. Now back to the episode: I was horrified and angry that they basically turned Jeff evil but after pondering over it over the holiday break, I have to say I'm not hating the idea at all. And if done right Jeff might actually turn out to be a great villain. Which is what this show really needs. It also really sucks because I was kind of shipping Fallon & Jeff at one point, but now I'm firmly in the Michael/Fallon boat. At this point I'm just waiting for Fallon to find out about Jeff's true master plan and just rip into him. Monica, however, is another story. This is going to sound weird but practically from day one I felt like there was something really off about her, like she seemed very fake to me. I never understood why Fallon was even friends with her in the first place. I mean, as horrible as Fallon is at times, Monica doesn't exactly strike me as a supportive or loyal friend. Every so often I've noticed that she had a bit of a tendency to basically bad mouth Fallon, even as so far as to warn Jeff about her. And now that she has hooked up with Michael... I'd say that she's a huge hypocrite big time, considering that just before that she made this whole big speech to Fallon about what an awful friend she was. Also aren't friends not supposed to go after another friend's exes?Also regarding Steven's story arc as a relapsing drug addict, I find it refreshing that a character like him is having this kind of storyline and I'm glad that it didn't turn out to be Fallon because it would've been way too predictable. This turn also allows Steven to have real flaws that make him more relatable to viewers. On an off-one note I'm also enjoying Sammy Jo & Anders' friendship. Like I said before, I also like Fallon the most of all of the characters on the show and I also like that the writers are mellowing her out a bit because her being a total mean girl 24/7 can get pretty tiring after a while. She's very determined, ambitious, engaging, very charismatic and I find her one liners really funny a lot of the time. Elizabeth Gillies does such a great job with her and I've pretty much fallen in love with her as a character, despite some flaws. I hope the writers continue to do well by her and I hope for great things for her in the future.Also Michael... can I say that he's one of the best male characters I've seen on T.V. in a very long time? Too often in soaps nowadays leading men are either dumb baffoons, abusive psychopaths or both. Michael so far is neither of those and that's very refreshing. Also I've grown to really like him with Fallon and I liked how their arc has developed. I really hope the writers don't entirely close the door on them because there are so many great stories they can do with these two if given the chance.</blockquote>
