HOLLYWOOD—During last week’s episode of “The Oval” it ended in an epic cliffhanger with Eli fuming after realizing that Simone and Bobby are sleeping together. This week’s episode, ‘Stalemate’ Bobby continued to deny the truth to Eli and threw Donald under the bus as it pertained to him sleeping with Lily. I loved how he deflected onto Eli and his ‘friendship’ with Victoria. Eli threatened death to Bobby if he got confirmation of him sleeping with his wife, but Eli, Hunter can walk so that changes everything.

Kyle tried to antagonize Bobby, but got nowhere with his dialogue, but nearly had his neck broken in the process. Brian contacted Lily to inform her that he can help her escape, but she warned him about the danger of Donald and refused to allow him to risk his life yet again. Hunter spilled to Jason that Victoria was responsible for him not being able to walk. All of the dots are connecting for Hunter in terms of his how much Victoria has played a role in ruining his presidency.

What a mention of Gail, the daughter of Victoria and Hunter that we still have no idea where she has been since season one? It would be nice to know where Gail is. Dammit Jason, just spill your secret on how to navigate around The White House. Simone, Priscilla is not that thirsty for Bobby, so girl chill out. It is not that serious. Priscilla wants Bobby to make her husband jealous, Simone on the other hand has a lust for Bobby. Stop lying Simone, and now we have this conversation involving Lily, so is she about to become a power player or what.

Max explained to Bobby that his antics are going to cause some serious turmoil if he doesn’t stop what he’s doing. Donald tried to manipulate the situation involving Simone and Bobby by placing a bug into Eli’s ear about getting vengeance. Kyle is good Donald, but he’s no match for Bobby. OMG, this conversation with Eli and Donald is pointless and just eating up the episode. Eli might be gullible, but he’s not dumb as he demanded Sam as his guard. I swear the moment Donald leaves this series will be epic TV; I have not hated a character more than this guy who is a complete tool.

Alonzo, you do have a brain that you’re cable of using when needed. Bobby received a call from Priscilla who posed a question about proof of Eli and Victoria. Oh, Priscilla is planning to use that evidence in her favor against Victoria and Eli and getting Hunter heated in the process. Bobby please own the fact that you are a guy who can’t keep it in your pants. Yes, Priscilla has FINALLY seen the light and delivered a dagger to Bobby: he was a pawn in her plan.

Priscilla you are such an actress, making Sam think you were having sex with Bobby and getting him all riled up was the laugh that I needed after the stressful few days I have endured. Sam had a bit of rage that he should have redirected elsewhere. Sam and Priscilla had a war of words that turned nasty, and I’m on Priscilla’s side on this one because Sam you cheated; why should she forgive you for your antics.

If this episode ends with this silly drama involving Richard, his father and Nancy I am going to be absolutely livid. Dale explained to Richard that Nancy got drunk as a skunk. When Richard showed up unexpectedly, the rage in his voice intensified, it only got worse when Nancy strolled in the room and announced she slept with Richard’s father yet again.

Richard definitely hates his father, so much to the point that Richard snapped and grabbed a knife stabbing his father! I thought that knife was about to go into Nancy’s body. Oh, this is about to turn nasty people, very nasty. Next week looks exiting, until then “The Oval” fanatics!
