On top of that, there was a scene that could totally have been created for (or by!) the writers of Supernatural slash fiction, where Dean followed a fake lead and ended up alone in a building with a dominating leather daddy who asked Dean to tell him what his safe word was before they 'got started'! Interestingly enough, that's where the scene ended, leaving what happened next completely up to the viewers imaginations.
Next week's episode looks even better, in fact, with Jensen Ackles dressed as every gay boy's fantasy of the hot gym teacher they wish they'd had! In fact, I have to include a visual aide on that:
Somehow, I doubt I'll have any complaints after seeing that episode!
Another thing I mentioned this past week was the potential new LGBT soap couple, Guiding Light's Olivia & Natalia. Things are still up in the air as to whether there will be anything between them or not, but I thought I'd follow up on what happened after their kiss.
Basically, Natalia was shocked that anyone would think that of them and then asked a very logical question: why did Olivia kiss her? A flustered Olivia said something about actions speaking louder than words as far as getting her point across to Natalia about what people were thinking after the My Two Mommies school presentation.
In a complete role reversal from the episode before, Olivia suddenly wanted to act like what people thought was no big deal, but the newly enlightened Natalia was freaking out and insisted they get little Emma's teacher to meet them back at the school to set things straight (yes, pun intended!)
Olivia seemed hurt that Natalia was in such a rush to deny there was anything between them (despite feeling the same way herself, pre-kiss) and listened on, clearly hurt, as Natalia explained to the teacher that they were just roommates.
Then, there was this big meant-to-be-touching moment where Natalia took it back and explained that no, they weren't just roommates. They were a family, just a different sort of family from what everyone thought after Emma's presentation.
That seemed to be the end of it and I had to wonder if the whole thing was leading up to nothing more than that, just a recognition that they were an unconventional family and not a first step to something more between Olivia & Natalia.
That changed, though, when Olivia started talking about their dinner plans for the night and Natalia revealed she had a date. The episode ended with Olivia home alone, eating dinner by herself and clearly feeling something more than friendship for her absent friend.
They're still at a place where they could easily go another way and have nothing come from all of this, but hopefully the show will take things in the more interesting direction.
Meanwhile, over on As the World Turns, this was the first completely Nuke free week we've had in awhile and I think I'm developing withdrawal symptoms already!
