I swear, if Week of Our Lives gets any more intense I’m just gonna have a heart attack, for real, no lie. I never thought I’d get hooked on some stupid show my Mum has been watching since before I was born, but the writers are geniuses, seriously. Seriously. This week had Ursula finally confessing to the face swap thing, which I don’t need to explain because anyone who’s anyone has been following the show. The thing that made my jaw drop was how Vaughn was involved. I mean, he saved that shoal of dolphins from that electronic shark that escaped the school science fair, so we all thought he was a swell guy!
And then just when we’re recovering from that, Stacey tells her abusive stepdad that she got a job as a tile and grout cleaner in Melbourne business that’s like, actually upstanding. And I was all like…whoa! You go, girl! Stacey’s stepdad is really high up in the dirt mafia, who are in cahoots with a bunch of domestic cleaners around Melbourne. His whole JOB is going around muddying carpets, dirtying windows and blocking toilets so that these crooked cleaners can come and perform high-priced janitorial services. He wanted Stacey to join the gang when she was old enough, since she’s really good with budgeting and paperwork, and Stacey has had to hide her neat-freak tendencies from him all those years. And now she straight up tells him that she wants to be a tile and grout cleaner, almost as if she’s pitting herself against him and his crooked line of work. Then the screen just fades out and I’m all like WHAT? I have to wait a whole 24 hours to find out what happens to Stacey!
I’m hoping her carpet cleaner boyfriend, Charlie, swoops in to save her. Charlie is actually an undercover cop and has been assigned the case of finding the crooked dirty mafia, so it’d be really ironic and stuff. Melbourne’s best carpet steam cleaning guy versus the literal dirtiest crook in town. I love this show!
