Callie and Aaron's relationship continues to deepen, Lena's parents come by for a visit, Jude is caught in the middle of Noah and Taylor, Brandon struggles with Cortney's new relationship, and Mariana's attempts at being closer to Logan backfires....
Even though it may not have started in the best way, Callie's relationship with Aaron is probably one of the best things she has going for her right now. He is secure and mature enough to deal with her crises that have been problems for others and she feels safe enough with him to open up in ways that she hasn't with her other boyfriends. And that is a very good thing. She has had to grow up so fast that I think it's good for her to have someone who is older than her and can be a stabilizing force without being a parental figure. Neither Brandon nor AJ were secure enough to be able to give her really good advice or to help her work through things she really needed to work through.
As for the whole thing about her self portrait, I thought her idea was brilliant. By allowing others to capture her at random moments, she is showing the vulnerability that they were talking about. Candid pictures have a way of exposing things in a way that a selfie or a prepared shot could never do. A selfie or prepared shot can be staged to show what the artist wants you to see, but a candid shot shows what the camera and the camera operator see, which can be radically different.
You have to feel sorry for Jude. Taylor has been a constant friend of his since he came to Anchor Beach, so it is understandable that she wants to spend time with him. But Noah, as he pointed out, is Jude's boyfriend, so he should definitely have alone time with Jude. I loved that Lena's mom came up with that "custody" arrangement for them. It might have been a little embarrassing, but it was a brilliant idea. I also feel sorry for Jude because that company wants to have him come on board and not Taylor. I hope that he turns them down for the sake of his friendship with Taylor, but I am afraid that he might simply choose to go with them and tell her that nothing came of the discussion. If that happens, there will be hell to pay when she finds out.
As for Mariana and Logan, I just don't know what to say. Her idea to help him was not a bad idea in theory, but it was definitely not a good idea in practice. She just needs to tread carefully.
Then there is Brandon. Again, I just have no words. His relationship with Grace is already on rocky ground, so he really needs to tread lightly where Cortney is concerned.
And for the kicker, we have Lena's parents. Her father seems to have dementia or something similar because he is becoming forgetful. I have to wonder if that has anything to do with the tax trouble that he got in. Fortunately, he is no longer on the deed to the house, so that is no longer a concern. I feel sorry for Lena because that has to suck.
Until next Tuesday!
