I mean, maybe, yes?
The issues between Albie and Luke are a tale as old as time, really.
All Boy wants is for Daddy to love him.
Daddy thinks Boy is a punk-ass corporate bitch.
Boy gets jealous of Daddy hanging out with Other Boy.
Boy decides to ride a bull to get Daddys attention.
Boy ends up in hospital.
Youve heard that before, right?
Which is exactly what happens when music producer Jamie Burke arrives in Austin.
Albie immediately takes the guy up on his offer.
Jamie doesnt even give any real credentials except to say that he used to be a big fan!
Did Albie at least Google this man?
Does Albie even know how to Google?!
Luke catches Albie working on songs with Jamie and is not having one bit of it.
When the family gathers at the annual Founders Day Rodeo, Luke again catches Albie spending time with Jamie.
They look very happy together!
And so what is a boy to do when he so desperately wants his fathers love and attention?
He enters a bull-riding contest.
The guy fails miserably and ends up in the hospital, as amateur bull-riders are wont to do.
Nicky has to spell things out for Albie: This was all Lukes way of proving himself.
For what its worth, it does look as if it hits Albie pretty hard.
You know how I feel, dont you?
That was the whole point of the bull-riding, Albie!
These boys need to make at least 15 percent more of an effort in their communication skills.
He meets up with the Roman-family lawyer we saw Dottie dealing with in the pilot.
But Mr. Lawyer doesnt know the whos or the whys of the situation.
The response is equally as gruff:Oh yes, you will.
And now we want twice as much.Juicy, right?
The mysteries really seem to be piling up onMonarch.
One Im extremely intrigued by at the moment is this Jamie Burke guy.
And Nicky is right: Its a huge hit.
Gigi accuses Nicky of being ruthless and just like their mother.
Anyway, what does any of this have to do with Jamie Burke?
She should be something new, something fresh she should be herself.
Its that speech that spurs Nicky to undermine Gigi.
So what is Jamie Burkes deal?
What does he want with the Roman family?
We get some additional details to add to the clue board.
First of all, Luke is there at the house, and hes in on the whole thing.
So it looks as though Nickys dreams come true … and then get very, very messy.
Liner Notes
Everyone is being way too cool about this Kayla-is-pregnant-with-Lukes-baby thing!
I know the man is laid up in the hospital, but hes happy and scared by the news?
Not … like …at allconcerned about what hes doing to his sister?
This is going to be such a mess (I cant wait).
Its about time Nicky got some!
Im into this coupling?
Nicky needs to have more fun.
Couldnt one just assume that Dottie took the pills herself?
Why did the coroner jump right to someone else being involved?
Does anyone care about this?
Dottie was the worst in the absolute best way.
Nicky also recalls that during this heartbreaking betrayal, it was Gigi who was by her side supporting her.
Maybe this means those two will stop being dummies and just become a duo?
