Okay so tonight it was "The Perfect Crime"...The episode tried to build suspense with Jill threatening Val but since I already knew that Val was going to survive it didn't feel that interesting in the rewatch. But brilliant acting of Joan van Ark as usual and Teri Austin played Jill going psycho in a convincing way too. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/misc/m0719.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hat:" title="Hat    :hat:" data-shortname=":hat:" />I loved how Abby and Gary tried to get rid of Manny from the Marina of Lotus Point by filling up all the spots he had a contract on in the marina. Just too bad that Michael and Paige were in Mexico, otherwise their scheme might have worked. Then since this episode marked the end of season nine here's some thoughts of the season: I loved: - Val and Gary growing closer. They should have been properly reconciled this season. Or at the very least in the next. It feels like they dragged out on their reconcilation too long when it's painfully obvious that they belonged together. But yeah I loved the scenes with the kids and how they had a fling. - Who will take care of Meg?It was great the way Karen and Mack looked after the girl and got so attached to her that they wanted to raise her and at the same time Greg was having a hard time and yet he really loved his daughter and wanted to be there for her. I think Greg giving up his rights to be a father to her was probably the most unselfish thing he's ever done and it was unfair of Karen to even ask him to do that. I liked: - Lilimae getting a love interestThey were cute to watch somehow. - The William'sI really liked Pat, Frank and Julie. They were the good guys and of course Mack and Karen couldn't give it a rest until the knew their secret. - Paige and Johnny. They were the same kind in a way as they were both husslers. So they deserved each other and made for a good pairing.  I disliked: - The digging up artifacts plot in Mexico. It was so slow to watch. I thought it would never end. - Jill going psycho.When she was first introduced on the show she seemed to be the more moral one out of her and Peter. The big sister who was looking out for her little brother and tried to keep him in check. She was a capable career woman. Now she's lost her brother and it has thrown her so she's gone completely mad this season. I liked when she hit Paige with her purse that included Peter's ashes but that's all. Except for that Jill got so clingy this season and jealous and bleh. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />- Laura dyingI wanted her to stay on the show. I was so sad to see her go. - Lilimae's departureShe left in a nice way but I really wanted her to stay. I was sad to see Lilimae leave the show as it was a huge loss to the show and I miss her already. Best plot of the season: Laura's departure.I hated that she left the show but her death was heartbreaking and the strongest episodes of the season were the ones that dealt with the grief as it was very raw. Also the episode when she prepared to die was so incredibly sad too. Also I loved how they highlighted something as trivial such as getting a pizza. It doesn't matter if you get fat if you are dying. That kind of logic. It touched a nerve I think. It was also great to see Richard return even if it was just for an episode or two.  That's all for season nine. </blockquote>
