.Good morning guys!

I’ve come to the conclusion that Notta is not a victim. She pretends to be, but nothing about her is really what she pretends it to be.

Blaze is a full-time housewife and part-time informant!

It’s a long, hard slog being T-Bolt. I hope it’s worth it in the end, but if Sam thinks Mr. Bribery is behind all this, he’s barking up the wrong tree. I think Mr. Bribery has his own fish to fry.

Good morning ,VB

Looks like Notta is keeping Blaze on a tight leash. I can see in my crystal ball that Blaze will accidentally meet T-Bolt at the laundry.

And thank you, Pequod, for this week’s recap.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Blaze must have inherited the dominatrix gear from her sister. She has anything but a strong, dominant personality, which is something Hot Rize had.-Makes sense to see Sam checking with Lee for leads. I wonder if Mr. Bribery will call her in on Matty Squared.

Will he also have one less bell to answer ?

You’re thinking of fried eggs, not fried Fish.

Not an expert on domination but some of the men who get into this stuff are in high pressure positions of authority and want to be be relatively helpless for a period of time. Perhaps Blaze has a bit of an esteem issue and being a dominatrix fulfills her desire to be in charge?

The absence of scarring on the fake Tracy’s body (particularly all the bullet wounds in the shoulder) should be a big clue.

“pretty busy” Uh hu.

Thanx PQ. Great silouette profiles of Sam today..

Always good to see Sam, and in two stunning silhouettes yet. T-Bolt is a very wild card in Bribery’s deck and may be instrumental in his fall or flight. He is bound to call on her eventually. Her instincts serve her well here. T-Bolt sensed Blaze’s lack of buy-in to the Blackheart’s operation. She eased her timely exit from Ace Tower. She has no knowledge of Notta’s connection to Blaze, yet Blaze considers T-Bolt a criminal she can confide in. A lot of interesting characters and possibilities in this story.

@ Neil Wick@ Ray TolerGood points, guys!

Lee Ebony is feeling the heavy burden of remaining deep undercover for an extended period of time as “T-Bolt.” I suspect she is longing to come in from the cold, but still sees her duty to gather intelligence as paramount. Unfortunately, Sam is not heading the right way in his investigation, yet….As for Blaze Rise, she is a fascinating and complicated character. We know she is in business as a dominatrix on afternoons when she is not on duty for Notta. Yet in every respect, when around Notta Fallar, she acts like a submissive. It would be interesting to be able to see what is going on inside her head!

Blaze: “To the laundromat?”That Blaze stated this as a question is an indicator of how completely Notta is controlling her. She’s basically asking Notta’s permission to do the laundry. C’mon, Blaze, Notta’s never going to respect you if you don’t respect yourself.

Interesting things can happen at a Laundromat. I remember the Brush story in 1962 when Brush stopped off at one to sew up the hole in his bag of money. He was confronted by thugs who were following him and he squirted soap in their faces. Wonder if Blaze will run into anyone she knows?

Has Notta been meeting with her parole officer?

Soothing waters so relaxing, scenery so great.

A pitcher of cold beverages will keep the ladies cool

To come between Notta and Blaze the folly of a fool.

Notta so very naughty, gives Screwball an address

Sends him to see Putty Puss, the outcome some may guess.

Take a stroll down memory lane, see Purdy roll the dice

He ran away from Tracy, soon became a block of ice.

Notta does misapprehend the nature of the chase

Tracy tried to save a life but Purdy a hard case.

Klipoff brought him back to life, yet what walked through the door

More a corpse than brother, wasn’t Purdy anymore.

Elsewhere, T-Bolt heaves a sign, so long deep undercover

Not Bribery behind the tape, indeed it is another

Master mind of heinous crime, a woman with a beard

Smearing Tracy’s character with a kinky tape so weird.
