It was nice for Shauna and Max to both have sounding boards within regards to their relationship and the current status. To be honest, I agreed with Courtney and her telling Max that Shauna being with Antoine before they were together shouldn’t be an issue; everyone has some kind of romantic past. It was nice that they seemingly moved beyond this quickly. I’m curious to see Antoine‘s reaction to the fact that they are back together since he clearly revealed this on purpose.

Tommy and Tanner’s interaction was interesting. It seems like Tanner is interested in Tommy but is too insecure to do anything about it. We don’t truly know where Tommy’s head space is, other than focusing on the drivers test. I thought Lenny & Elijah’s scene was cute. I like the younger couple on the show, it’s a nice balance.

Good episode!

This little blip in the storyline wasn't going to last long at all. Max and Shauna for now will be together in spite of Antoine's reaction for now.

You're right Tanner is into Tommy, but she is insecure of his past and his friendship with Jordan. We'll explore Tommy's feelings in the next episode too. Lynn & Elijah our so great to write as a budding couple because they're focusing to be together in the now rather than for the rest of their lives. Which isn't really a focus on most soaps.

Good episode!

Thanks for reading Dallas!!!

All caught up now that things have calmed down a bit in my life! It was fun to have two episodes to run through in one sitting.

The Max/Shauna/Antoine story took center stage in these two episodes, and I liked how you maneuvered through the turns. It felt very realistic that Max would take umbrage at Antoine's bragging -- and you did a good job of showing how it was his pride and insecurity causing him to react. Courtney gave him great sisterly advice. Meanwhile, Shauna was totally in the right to let Antoine have it; he's coming off like a real jerk of late. It was nice to see Shauna and Max come back together, too. They're both flawed young people but ultimately seem good and like they could have a real shot. I also enjoyed the realism of injecting SJ into Shauna staying with Martha. A lot of soaps would've just glazed over the reality of that.

It also feels very believable that Courtney and Steven might have some conflict over Evan, without it being melodramatic. No one is acting crazy, but Steven is a parent and Courtney isn't, so they're naturally going to come at scheduling and stuff like that from different angles. Courtney does seem to have a good head on her shoulders, and rather than being a brat, she accepted the invitation to hang with them. Bonding with Evan will only benefit her in the long run, anyway.

The contrast between the two younger couples was interesting. I liked how Lynn took the lead with Elijah and wanting to put aside all the "What if?" fears and just go for it. Meanwhile, Tanner's insecurity and jealousy about Tommy and Jordan makes total sense. And Tommy is a young guy and reacted how a teen would. I have a feeling his driving test might not be smooth sailing, but we'll see.

I respect how level-headed Peter was in dealing with Sean, but I still foresee fireworks down the road from that arrangement!

It's nice when life calms down and thanks for taking the time out to read!

You're very much right, these three our still young adults so they're going to display more of their flaws then the characters who our older than them. I like adding some aspect of Shauna staying out at the farm in the same bedroom as Martha and her godson.

One thing is that Courtney can be selfish sometimes, although she usually can come to terms of different situations. And I too figured that she will have to bond with Evan eventually if she wants to continue a relationship with Steven in the near future.

Lynn to me is the type of person who takes charge in a relationship so her having the "What If's?" was a interesting take. Meanwhile in the next episode you'll see the development between Tommy & Tanner. As well if he passed his driving test or not?

Trust me Peter will keep his eye on his former son-in-law.
