Additional Comments: If the writers expect me to feel sympathy for Janet because of her oh-so-touching prayers, ain't gonna happen. I do not blame her for the crap Henry and his mother pulled and I don't blame her for putting Katie and her baby in danger and for Brad's shooting, but after all her recent stunts, I don't feel an ounce of empathy for her. I'm sorry for Liberty that she has such a mother. I'm sorry for Katie and Brad. I'm even a bit sorry for Henry for being such an idiot. I'm sorry for Jack.
I also felt her implication that Jack was impaired was inappropriate today of all days. Maybe bring it up a little later and in private. Let's face it - Jack was in a bar because of the way Janet had attacked him for no reason....I don't know how long Jack had been sitting in the bar, but I only saw him finish off one beer. He ordered another one, but left it sitting there untouched.

But, did you miss how the writers threw in those tidbits about how Mama Manicotti relied on her strong faith to get her through her pregnancy with Liberty and her single motherhood? I believe they really are trying to rewrite the kind of person she is. We're supposed to forget that she slithered into town trying to steal him from his wife, or that she was Jack's booty call before she was his bride. Instead, I get the feeling we are supposed to believe she's a strong, upstanding, religious woman who can do no wrong. I'm waiting for her to tell Jack that his lie by omission was a sin...Jack is now going to feel what's like to be married to a holier-than-thou hypocrite.

Message: Oh goodness, not the "Holy Slot Machine" crap again. I haven't watched yet but I am so tired of people who never set foot in a church suddenly finding their way to a chapel and using God and the church as some spiritual "Magic 8 Ball". Well, if she is in church, at least this is consistent with her hypocritical "Catholic Values" that she was brandishing as a weapon to beat over the head of a very pregnant Liberty. And YES I know it's done all the time and it bothers the heck out of me every time I see or hear about it.

Message: exactly! All I rememberd was he only took a sip or two. And now we are suppose to believe he was so drunk that he would openly shoot with a pregnant women around. The writers should have shown Jack really drunk . Really sold it In my honest opinion it is bad writing, the writing for these scenes are suppose to set rest of the SL in motion. "This was suppose to be must be tv", Colombino compared the shooting of Brad to 'Dallas' Who shot JR! In your dreams TC. - sorry terri fan's.

Message: It doesn't matter one iota whose "fault" it was that Jack was drinking before he headed off into a potentially dangerous situation. Maybe you're right that Janet shouldn't have hassled him about a few beers, but certainly not because she was the cause. That's completely beside the point.
Anyway, Janet is getting a good look at how Jack the police officer applies the rules to his own service.
