Saving Cristal... or Krystle? (Spoiler!!)

The dog was already gone by then.

 

There was a scene where Alexis was painting a picture of Krystle, and she and Hank start talking about the dog, with Alexis saying, "I miss that dog... he was always trying to bite you."

 

Ahem! What Ked said about the dog being gone by then was understated. And, probably why Toni found your initial thoughts funny is this....

His actions give new meaning to these lines from Voltaire's song When You're Evil: "I'm the thing you lose when you put it where its supposed to go ….. and I do it all for free, your tears are all the pay I’ll ever need."

 

Alexis' dog is a brilliant reference to Paige Matheson's cat, the one her mother had given away after Paige had left (and then faked her death, and then told Mack that her mother had died).

 

I listened to that song so much in my early 20s.

 

^
The 1920s? I had no idea you were such an old person!

 

Was that Belle, the cat?

That reminds me, if that dog that Sam Jo & Steven have is female, then I hereby declare her name to be Christabel; on account I’ve decided she was a surprise wedding present from Cristal; who had got her from friends who were moving interstate. The dog had been born Christmas season a year or two ago, and Cristal had been present at her birth, so the dog's owners gave her that name. Christabel gets on well with Beau, but dislikes Blake. She, too, thinks he's a douchebag.

 

So much? What was the attraction?

 

Like mother, like daughter.

 

I'm honestly not sure... but then again, I didn't listen to it non-stop for days on end. Plus I mostly listened to the song when it was being played to clips of Disney villains.



Actually, now that I think about it, back then I had a friend who was super into Voltaire, so I guess I got influenced.

 

Super influenced? I'm trying to imagine you as Ked the Goth, what you were like then.

 

Um... I wasn't a goth. ^^ Oh wait, were you asking me what I was like then, but forgot to put in a question mark? Meh, I was... not much different from how I am now. Though I was more naive, less confident, waaaaay more uptight, and desperate for friendship (hence why I wound up spending more time than I should have on the college's computers; online, I finally met people I felt I could connect to; sadly, I've lost online friends over the years, but some of them have been maintained more or less, while new friendships end up being born ).

 

I didn't forget the question mark, but thanks for the picture, pal.

 

Ah. Well, you're welcome, all the same.
