I'm going to start with Robin and Patrick this week, because I want to talk about a pairing that I'm actually enjoying. After being totally put off by Robin's accusations, Patrick fled her apartment for the hospital. In the doctor's locker room Robin once again eavesdropped on one of his conversations. This time she learned the true subject of the "bet" was not her, but whether or not Patrick could convince a child's mother a surgery was necessary.
Feeling like a jerk, she followed him to Jake's. Patrick was feeling particularly vengeful and made her apologize in front of Carly. Now normally I would say that was about as low as he could sink, but no – this time Robin deserved it. It was a huge assumption she had made and a rather egotistical one at that. It was a huge leap for her to believe the first overheard conversation was about her, but then to throw it up in Patrick's face when he has really been trying to be less of a dog was inexcusable.
Of course Robin's behavior sent him on a downward spin, and he was more than happy to try and forget all about her with Carly. For once she had the good sense to turn him away. Pretty amazing since not all that long ago she'd have done it to just to spite Robin. What surprises me even more is her decision had nothing to do with Sonny (Thank God!) and everything to do with Jax. Wow! Can she really be growing?
Jax and Carly got to hold baby John for the first time. The baby continues to bond the couple as they go through the ups and downs of giving into their growing lust and learning to trust each other. I already voiced my approval for this pairing last week and the intrigue continues. I'm especially enjoying the growth we're seeing in Carly.
Jax continued his grudge against Nicholas and filed a restraining order against him, forbidding any contact with the baby. Part of me gets where he's coming from. He's trying to protect his child from the relentless and ruthless Helena. But a bigger part of me thinks Nicholas is calling it right when he accused Jax of just being bitter over Courtney choosing him.
Aside from his acidic attack on Jax and Carly, Nicholas seemed to be coming to terms with his grief. I look for them to move forward with the rumored plans to couple him up with Maxie in the very near future although on Friday's episode his interaction with Emily at the Haunted Star was fun to watch. Putting that couple back together could be interesting as well.
