1. Should EJ and Nicole change Jude’s name, and if so, to what?

No. End of discussion.

2. Was the confrontation between Sloan and Nicole everything you expected? And will Sloan tell Eric the truth about the baby’s paternity?

I do wish Sloan would tell Eric the truth but that won't happen. I thought the confrontation was underwhelming. Even Nicole's punch seemed a bit tepid. I wanted MORE blood.

3. If Melinda and Sloan are prosecuted for kidnapping Nicole’s baby, should Leo face any type of charges as well?

Leo needs to be held accountable and suffer the consequences. Not a lawyer so not sure what that would entail but something.

4. How do you rate Bobby/Everett’s intervention from a 1 (hated it) to a 10 (loved it), and why?

I thought it was too over the top and mangled. But I did enjoy watching Stephanie's shocking facial expressions. But it felt more like a Jada interrogation rather than an "intervention." I give it a 3.

5. Were you surprised by how Theresa reacted to Alex telling her he was still involved with Kristen?

Not entirely. Kind of a goofy comic riff which wasn't half bad. A taste of Alex's own medicine type of thing.

6. With Harris, Ava, and Lucas on Clyde’s trail, do you hope he’s found soon and made to pay for his crimes?

Since I like Clyde in his new Dr. Doom role not sure I want to see him, or Goldman dead. Maybe captured but that likely won't stop him. I have a feeling Ava will botch up this whole operation.

7. What annoyed or disappointed you on Days of Our Lives this week?

Two big, interesting storylines made impressive leaps forward this week but sadly they fell short of expectations. The Bobby thing was too erratic and the Jude hand off was handled hastily and was poorly executed plus Eric STILL doesn't know the truth.

8. What was your favorite story, scene, or quote this week?

No truly great scenes but the off the cuff job interview Stefan gave Theresa was realistic and amusing and the Montana stuff has been fairly entertaining especially with Goldman getting bear sprayed by Lucas and the corny descriptions of Montana by Harris, Lucas and Ava.

I liked the Jude and Everett/Bobby storylines but the show sort of messed them both up this week.

Favorite quotes. I have two.

Stefan's tongue and cheek response to Theresa about the place being terribly slow by saying "it is early, and they should be trickling in soon."

Also, I liked the smartass Trask telling Stefan to take EJ's belongings to "save on the delivery fee."

1. Should EJ and Nicole change Jude's name, and if so, to what?

Christine: Yes! I've never liked the name Jude very much, and I'm curious to see which name EJ and Nicole come up with. And at six months old, it really won't mean much to the baby.

2. Was the confrontation between Sloan and Nicole everything you expected? And will Sloan tell Eric the truth about the baby's paternity?

Christine: It wasn't bad, but I expected a bit more. Honestly, if I were in Nicole's shoes, I don't know that I could stop myself from strangling Sloan.
But this confrontation isn't over yet. I doubt Sloan will tell Eric the truth. She's had every opportunity up to this point but has kept her mouth shut. And I don't see the truth buying her any sympathy with Eric.

3. If Melinda and Sloan are prosecuted for kidnapping Nicole's baby, should Leo face any type of charges as well?

Christine: Other than blackmail, I'm not sure what charges they can bring against Leo. He didn't do the actual kidnapping. He went to EJ and Nicole to tell them the truth, but EJ punched him and threatened his life. And then the DNA tests said it wasn't Nicole's baby.
Leo can be a first-class weasel, and he took Sloan for every penny she had, but I find it hard to blame him for that.

4. How do you rate Bobby/Everett's intervention from a 1 (hated it) to a 10 (loved it), and why?

Christine: I enjoyed it! I'll give it an 8. Blake Berris did a hell of a job making Bobby borderline scary and Everett sympathetic. Stephanie was suitably shocked, and I even liked Jada. Bobby was screaming in her face, but like a good cop, Jada kept her cool and didn't give him the reaction he was hoping for.

5. Were you surprised by how Theresa reacted to Alex telling her he was still involved with Kristen?

Christine: I was surprised she held it together. The whole point of making Alex think he's inheriting the Kiriakis fortune is so Theresa can become his wife and enjoy it. Granted, the relationship has her living in the mansion once again, but being Alex's fun side piece isn't exactly what she had in mind.

6. With Harris, Ava, and Lucas on Clyde's trail, do you hope he's found soon and made to pay for his crimes?

Christine: I just don't care. If he remains on the run or back in prison, I'm fine either way, but a little Clyde goes a long way.

7. What annoyed or disappointed you on Days of Our Lives this week?

Christine: I keep waiting for someone to mention that Roman went through something similar when he learned that Belle wasn't his daughter. I want to see Roman and Eric bond over "losing" their children, but maybe we'll have that next week.

That Nicole can actually take her eyes off of the child she thought was dead for six months boggles my mind. I'm fairly certain you'd have to pry that baby from my arms and would find me sleeping on the floor next to his crib.

Harris is the boring guy once again. I'd rather watch Ava and Lucas track down Clyde.

And the Jada/Bobby shower scene was so cheesy, but it felt like a strange shout-out to the Bobby Ewing shower scene from Dallas, so that at least made me chuckle a bit.

8. What was your favorite story, scene, or quote this week?

Christine: I enjoyed the Bobby/Everett intervention and am looking forward to more.

I also like EJ bonding with the baby, even though I know it likely won't last. Extra points for Marlena admitting that EJ is a good father to his kids. I also always saw him as a good stepfather to Will and Allie, and now Holly, too.

My thoughts....

1. Should EJ and Nicole change Jude’s name, and if so, to what?
Yes, I don’t know what name they should give him, but I would want to distance that child from Sloan as much as possible.

2. Was the confrontation between Sloan and Nicole everything you expected? And will Sloan tell Eric the truth about the baby’s paternity?
I hated how Sloan tried to make herself a victim. I honestly don’t know why the heck she showed up and how the heck she came through the back door. Not believable. I did enjoy the slap. That was satisfying. She is right that Nicole has done just as bad but that doesn’t justify Sloan’s crime.

3. If Melinda and Sloan are prosecuted for kidnapping Nicole’s baby, should Leo face any type of charges as well?
Yes, Leo should face blackmail charges and he's an accessory after the fact.

4. How do you rate Bobby/Everett’s intervention from a 1 (hated it) to a 10 (loved it), and why?
Maybe a two. It was terrible. Blake Berris did a good acting job despite how unrealistic the whole thing felt.

5. Were you surprised by how Theresa reacted to Alex telling her he was still involved with Kristen?
Theresa has been deceiving and playing Alex for months. He’s a horrible individual but she has zero right to feel used.

6. With Harris, Ava, and Lucas on Clyde’s trail, do you hope he’s found soon and made to pay for his crimes?
Clyde is not a believable villain but neither was Stefano. I’d just like it done with, regardless of how it ends.

7. What annoyed or disappointed you on Days of Our Lives this week?
Nicole’s strange acceptance that her son is alive didn’t play well. The reveal felt surreal and anticlimactic. Sloan annoyed me. I wish she never showed up. Stefan and Chad are a waste of airtime. The “intervention” was a joke. For some reason, I’m not feeling any pity for Eric. I really wish the baby was EJ’s bio son.

8. What was your favorite story, scene, or quote this week?
Melinda’s pretend-shock over the so-called baby switch was amusing. I was glad we got some movement and clarity on the Everett/Bobby situation.
