Carly Cap #3: Safe Harbor?

Ok, how do you recap four minutes of dialogue and a dark blue hoodie? At least with Otalia, there was a story to wax philosophical. Here…not so much. Anyway, I will do my best.
Carly’s less than fantastic voyage ends in Salem Harbor. Unrevealed Rafe is hot…with fever. Carly tells Omar they have to get him to the hospital. Omar wants to leave him on the dock and pass him off to the next good Samaritan. And here I was thinking Omar was not an American!
Carly wants to know when they “land”…huh?…”dock”…what?…”you know!” And there she is, wearing an ad lib. Crystal IS in there somewhere. Omar reminds Carly that she doesn’t need any extra baggage with Alamain’s men looking for her. She’s already got a killer carry-on, and a second checked piece could cost her an arm and a leg.
Carly tells Omar to drop her off at the pier, and she will get the meds. She will signal him when she is back. Omar refuses and pouts. Carly utilizes her Olivia eyes from a past life and smiles. She always gets her way. Omar hands Carly a flashlight and asks where will she go. She says her old hunting ground. Better be careful, Carly, I think it’s doc season.
Keeping with the nautical theme, Omar brings Carly a navy hoodie, and she laments it’s not her color. Omar chastises her attempts at humor at a time like this. She apologizes. She gets that way when she’s nervous. Really? This thing hasn’t been a night at the improv so far. Omar says if anything happens, run, don’t worry about him and the water boy. Carly is off her mooring as she assures him she will be fine, nothing ever happens in Salem…except that buried alive thing, and that demon possession thing, and…
Omar is bathing Rafe. Spartacus! Rafe begins to moan about Sami…Sami. Buck up, Bud. It’s Tuesday; she’s on the beach in Malibu with a bunch of Losers. Rafe is beginning to look a little like an extra from True Blood. Perhaps in addition to antibiotics, Dr. Manning should prescribe a transfusion as well. In fact, we could all use a little something positive.
Carly dons the hooded cloak of invisibility and walks undetected into Salem University Hospital. Somewhere along the line, she sheds the hoodie for the lab coat of latency. Carly uses her Tweeserman to break into the drug stash and pockets the antibiotics. Apparently swine flu has sapped the hospital of all its chemical resources because that is a VERY small drug cabinet.
Uh, oh, that guy from the cheesy Titanic flashback. Carly lurks and listens to his conversation. Damn, Bo is now the Police Commissioner…that is MUCH different than a cop. An orderly mistakes Carly for another doctor, and she quickly makes her exit. The elevator opens and Carly rushes past an old friend. Sensing something familiar, Maggie turns back. Horton hears a “who the hell was that?”
Carly arrives back at the boat ready for a nice dry port. But first she draws the antibiotic into the syringe. Wait, Carly, you didn’t remove that huge air bub…! And now we wait for the aneurism. Perhaps DOOL should reconsider that “no rehearsal” thing. Omar asks if everything went smoothly at the hospital. There is a possibility someone recognized her, but she will deal with that later. Her first priority is to cast away the eerily pale man moaning unconvincingly on the couch….oh, brother.
Love it! Friday isn’t complete until you bring snark.
Perfect screencaps to enhance the perfect snark. Thank you so much!! I needed this.
It so difficult to watch CC as Carly. It is obvious she is not comfortable in her new skin. If laughter is indeed the best medicine… I am getting cured by reading your caps. Thanks.
Totally love the recap, so fitting for the week of painful moaning! Would “Days” please get on with Carly getting real scenes with people that are not faking head wounds and fevers or I’m going to start moaning (not in a good way, get your mind out of the Venice undies store peeps).
Okay, that recap was partly humorous with “Horton hears a “Who the hell was that”", Doning the hooded cloak of invisibility and the comment about the drug cabinet. Thanks for the chuckle.
I love your recaps. So flippin funny “horton hears a who the hell is that”!
Loved it once again Schmootz—I didn’t watch Guiding Light/Otalia long but I think my withdrawals are greater now—thanks for the snark.
I know it’s time for the weekend when your recap is up. Thanks again for your snarky wit, Schmootz!
I love these! Thank you!!
Schmootz – you’ve worked a masterpiece with so little screen time to go on. Hopefully, you’ll have more Carly time to weave into your brilliant magic next week. Always look forward to your snarkittack on things.
CC is Boring as Carly Next please………..Venice
“doc season”, “wabbit season”… too too funny. So much mirth with so little substance to skewer. I’m not surprised Carly doesn’t know whether she’s on a boat or a plane. The transition was so subtle and so offscreen. I do so hope that they have Carly doing less talking to herself in the future. It’s just so weird.
your recaps are the best. i didn’t like the “land” bit, carly is supposed to be a doctor? she’s out of practice.
As always you are the one who brings out the big smile. Love your style. After her debut day on DOOL I thought we might really be in for an exciting ride with CC as Carly. Not! I am shocked that I am bored with the development of her storyline. Surely things will speed up. Ya think?
If not for your snarkytory commentary (like the new word??) I would almost be close to pitying the little time and cheesy dialogue that Crystal is sporting right now. At least she has her own working bathroom and her hair is looking pretty good, so aces on the DooL facilities and makeup/hair crew! The lines about the ‘landing’ and ‘hoodie color’ brought a slight smile but not a full one. I’m hoping that DooL will pick it up and have Crystal be more of a part of the show, for Crystal’s sake, our sake and your weekly snarkylicious column!
