Additional Comments: Outstanding soap - Jack and Katie together in front of the nursery - wow. Jack trying to get Craig to accuse him of murder. Katie forcing Henry to face what he'd done. Lily giving into temptation with Damien. Barbara's sympathy for Henry - so touching. MP floored me today - this is very meaty stuff. TC was great too.

Fantastic writing and acting and especially editing on Thursday's show! The pacing was perfect.  There was logic behind Katie's wanting to be alone at home and Jack needing someone to punish him or berate him. OK, so there are some holes which everyone on the board has already noted, namely Margo's letting Jack back on the streets with his gun and Margo's not being at Katie's side at the hospital. Maybe it is Margo's day off in real life...

This day alone is better than ATWT has been in five years.  Just compare Thursday to any day with Noah and Luke's whiney conversations, Janet's boob-waving and pontificating, Liberty's angst, Parker's anger, Meg's racing around town trying to have a man [and ignore her lil girl], and weeks and weeks and weeks of Holdumb's inability to think straight.

Writers, please keep up the recent good work and we will try to forgive and forget the nonsense of the last few years....

    Excellent episode-- the whole thing, but especially the Jack/Craig/Ro scenes and Katie going home to that empty apartment. Perfect writing, perfect acting... This is why I watch soaps.

    I agree..it was heartfelt, emotional, and involving...hope it keeps the momentum ...have high hopes for the Jack's journey story and hope they don't mess it up (bad memories of of the lame thread involving Lucy, Aaron etc. running off to various college campuses)

    Katie has yet to face that she, and she alone, placed her and her baby in the situation she was in at the warehouse.  I don't recall Henry telling her to go confront Ralphie. Sure, Henry was stupid enough to let Audrey get him involved with Ralphie but Katie was beyond stupid in doing what she did to start the turn of events that resulted in Brad's death.

    Katie needs be a grown women. And take responsible, for brad death. For god's sake 'the love of her life' has died without even seeing their son. Katie should not be angry at henry. Its her own fault She chased after Ralph, she admitted that she ease dropped. If it was me in that situation there is no way I be blaming anyone but myself. Her husband is gone and not coming back. The writers always write a out for katie, bottom line is henry did not know katie would go after ralph. he was on his way out of town. he did not know. Katherine is going to spend the rest of her life blaming others for her own mistakes. When is she going to grow and process, when.
