Okay I didn’t think I could laugh harder than I did at Bo’s "accent" but today took the cake. The endless parade of people showing up at the mansion, leaving prints everywhere screaming at Stef and then whimping out and leaving. Stefano just drank brandy the whole time. He must have been hammered by the time he was actually shot. I half expected him to sit there munching on popcorn while people shouted at him. I lost it when he opened the door and saw Hope and said "Not another one!". I did like the way they showed everyone’s house empty. My number one suspect is Lexi with Ian in second place.
So, everyone touched the gun except the person that actually fired the gun had on gloves. Someone is going to have a lot of "mopping" to do in that mansion!! And, most shocking of all, none of them bumped into each other!! My guess is Lexie.
I KNOW!!!!! I posted something similar on the annex board!!! I did however like the ending how they showed each house. But totally agree that it was hilarious seeing all them one by one and Stef’s laughter, and every one of them touching that gun with bare hands!
A "feared" mafioso guy like Stef leaving all kinds of doors open at night – maybe Open House at the Dimeras? And everyone picking up the gun, including the Keystone Cops.
However, I found the ending quite moving with the operatic Pagliaci playing, the music driving the dramatic end.
to say, "Take a number" to the next person. He really should lock his doors.
And I too wondered how all those people could be walking around in the dark and not bump into each other.
There were some very good parts to this episode and some really cheesy ones. I guess I’ll just take the bad with the good.
I found it very unrealistic that Stephano would leave his doors unlocked. He is way too smart to do that. I mean, if you know people are gunning for you. You lock the place up tight as a drum…unless he was suidicial because Lexie was dying.
I think it was supposed to be funny. For Stefano to leave every single door unlocked especially when he knows everybody is threatening to shoot him, is preposterous. I did love the episode though. It certainly was different and I loved that it was a dark and stormy night. The rain added some good effect to it with everybody coming and going. Reminded me of an old-fashioned mystery like Agatha Christie (only this one was very funny!)
And yes, I agree, I too LOVED the end with the opera music playing! Quite powerful scene.
it seems like a huge setup to pretend to kill him off but not really do it. It’s like he was egging everyone on to shoot him while he knew that it was a setup.
about the way Stefano acted was when the classical music started playing and he quickly got into a great mood–smiling and directing the music. Earlier, he was in a very dark mood because of Lexie and was ready to give up on life and then all of a sudden his mood seemed to take a 180. Just didn’t seem realistic that one minute you would be in the depths of grief over your daughter’s impending death and then the next minute your mood has lightened to the point that you can’t quit smiling.
how would they explain a bullet going through his back and chest? Unless the paramedics and other med people are in on the jig? Or maybe it wasn’t really Stefano in the chair?
spurts blood out of the front? lol This is Days! I doubt he’s dead unless Joe really dies. That is probably going to be the only time he will be really gone. I bet the CIA is involved in this set up.
and he was so pleased with himself, for everyone who entered his home with their ridiculous threats to kill him all chickened out in the end and walked out. He felt like he won over all of them. That’s the way I saw it. Just never expected someone to return and really do the deed. After today I am completely convinced, though, that it was NOT Lexi. I’m still leaning toward Ian now.
what you’re questioning here. As close as the shooter was, it bullet WOULD go through the chair and Stefano. I thought that part was very realistic. What I couldn’t buy though is why he was still sitting up straing. At the very least, his head should have slumped over, it wasn’t even touching the chair.
At first I questioned the lack of blood until I realized the bullet must have hit his heart and he died instantly so it stopped pumping blood out the wound.
I’m convinced it’s not Lexie either…she was too calm. I don’t have any clues but my gut tells me it was EJ. (Too bad he told Lexie he wasn’t Stefano’s son, he could have inherited everything.)
Although, I thought the gloved hand looked like a woman’s. Sheesh, we went through this same thing before when Tony (was it, can’t remember now) was killing everybody and they went to whatever that place was called…Melaswen??? Trying to guess who’s hand we were seeing.
I knew it was Abe’s gun because they showed him putting it down and then leaving without it. No surprise there.
First, that he was so certain none of them had the intestinal fortitude to kill him, he had to egg them on until they realized it themselves, also giving him the satisfaction of rubbing their noses in their lack of guts.
Second, that he was so despondent about Lexie and it being his fault she was dying, they would be putting him out of his misery so he didn’t have to do it himself. I’m glad Lexie brought up the suicide possibility. I think that would have given him some redemption in Lexie’s eyes.
As for the joy at the end, it was because he successfully "played" each and every one of them making HIM the winner. I almost got the feeling he was expecting what came next and he was going to die with a drink in his hand (as a diabetic, that would have caused him quite a big problem in itself), listening to his beloved music.
As for the opera music being played during a dramatic scene, that has been soooo overdone. The first one that comes to mind is Tom Hanks in Philadelphia. Another was a very powerful documentary about when Saddam Hussein set fires to all those oil wells in Kuwait. That one even won an Oscar.
