Ok, here I go.
I just cannot TAKE this storyline or the unrealistic handling of little details that make a storyline believeable. By the time Stephanie had read Max's letter and talked to her parents about it, Max was already on a train apparently heading across France. Ok. Maybe it took 7-8 hours for Stephanie to talk to her parents. But then, for her to decide to go, Chelsea and Morgan to put together her going away surprise, her to pack, get a ticket, board a plane (in Canada you need to be in the airport for 2 hours for an international flight), get to a city in France and then find Max all while the same events are happening back in Salem is unreal to say the least. For anyone who has traveled to Europe, in particular France, you can attest that any train pulling up to Gare St. Lazare or Toulouse or any other major city centre sometimes has 15 or more cars, with second class having no seat assignments. How is it that she boarded the delayed train and then found Max immediately? Secondly, no train (especially a European one) will EVER wait for a passenger to arrive. I spent many a trip running and pushing through crowds trying to get to my platform and flinging myself onto any car before the doors closed. I am not even going to mention lugging suitcases onto the car. For Stephanie to literally prance onto the train and surprise Max was not only unbelievable, but it was downright idiotic. As it is, she already makes me angry with her incessant whining and needing to be involved in every aspect of Max's life. The writing and timing on the show has just added to my distaste over the whole storyline. My family, all of whom travel through Europe by train frequently are so frustrated with the handling of these little details. So infuriating!!!!!
Am I alone in my frustration????
It is as I've always said, if it is needed, anyone can get to ANYWHERE in any country in the blink of an eye, but to get across town to stop someone's murder, or whatever, and they always get stuck in traffic, or the weather is bad, or....................

I'm surprised they haven't milked the Eiffel Tower scenery for all its worth, letting us Jethro-like Americans know that they're indeed in France...
Maybe they should take a tip from "Team America" and replace all the brickwork in the parks with little croissants. Then everyone (sporting berets of course) could yell "Sacre Bleu!" while throwing baguettes at Notre Dame.
Hey, it might just work...
