And once again Mark, you manage to make me cry. Well done.

In have been following Mark, CAP and Bridgemont since 2013

He smiled at me. “Things will be fine. Great. Unless the kid turns out to be a smart-ass just like you.” Another instance of great foreshadowing. This is why I never tire of re-reading CAP and Bridgemont.

I will not ruin it for those who have not read beyond this point in CAP, but Mark, you are a masterful wizard with little Easter eggs and foreshadowing of things to come well into the future. I can see it now (the 9th time I have started re-reading CAP from the beginning) and it just enhances my extreme reading pleasure.

I harken back to a time when Marie and John stood up and toasted Jack and Claire for being the rock solid parents they were (as compared to all the other dysfunctional parental units in CAP). Did not see this turn of events coming.

An understatement of epic proportions.

Who is THIS Will and what did you do with the volatile Will? I want Will to put Zach to the curb. He is SHADY. I understand Will needs to be more "mature" and handle things in a more measured fashion than during his earlier years. However, that having been said, why the fizzuck is Will even putting up, repeatedly, with such awful treatment. Having said all that, Mark, you continue to amaze me with your gift. It is no wonder I have read and re-read CAP and Bridgemont all the way through at least a dozen times and I never tire of them. It is like coming home.

Thanks, Mark. I am re-reading Bridgemont for the 7th or 8th time from the beginning and I noticed the name for the first time, this read through.

Is Freddie a different Cavendish than the 5th Lieutenant on Victory we met earlier?

It is singularly satisfying to see the rift between Stef and Will mended . . . But, knowing Dr. A as intimately as we do after all these years, this is a respite/calm before the storm. And, to expand upon my catalog of cliches, the other shoe is going to drop with that which is lurking related to the South African/Chinese opium folks . . . It is beyond awesome to have you back, Mark!

While I agree for the most part with this, I have to think that Carullo was consciously trying to push JJ away with this act. It fits with his desire to avoid “entanglements.” He did it in previous chapters with the Luka thing. I neither condone nor embrace his actions. Rather, it is understandable based upon his history with commitment. Remember, too, it is still only two short years removed from 9/11 when he lost Joey. When Will and he ”reunited” outside JJ’s second home, Dior Homme, it was clear that he was still not in any position to be in a relationship and still had not gotten over Joey. So, at least subconsciously Carullo pushed JJ away on purpose with that act, in my humble opinion

Leave it to JJ to bring a nuclear warhead to a knife fight.

Welcome back, Dr. A. Kudos to you.

Maybe we should send you to the Seychelles for restorative therapy for your libido? Seriously, though, we wish you nothing but the best! Be well. Wil
