Reminder: "Punch's Cousin" Will Return on Monday

Just as Ulrika Rittenhouse was about to get herself smothered by Arthur, Iolanthe Evangeline arrived and proved to be the unlikely heroine. Iolanthe convinced Arthru and Gerard to be on their way while making a veiled threat about Julian and Robert. After Arthur and Gerry departed, Ulrika became to awaken from her drug-induced state of confusion and she and Iolanthe engaged in an increasingly spirited argument. Ulrika revealed to Iolanthe that she hadn’t given Arthur the diamond, but rather she had tricked him into finding the fake that she had made to fool Iolanthe. Iolanthe was impressed and offered Ulrika a partnership—again.


While Adrienne and Charles waited with the stolen baby, Cecil and Robert tried to deal with Mr. Scaramouche. When Robert sedated Julian/Punch, the two entities united and Julian was able to finally express his own grief and frustration, causing Scaramouche to become small and inconsequential. Julian insisted that Mr. Punch not lock up Scaramouche, stating that bottling up one’s anger is worse than letting it lead a natural life.

Meanwhile, Arthru appeared to see Cecil. Robert was furious to see the return of the man, but more so furious when Barbara immediately told them that the diamond was fake. In order to verify this fact, Robert and Cecil took the diamond upstairs to be examined by Julian while Barbara was left to deal with her wicked husband.

This week, as Punch’s Cousin continues, we revisit Edward Cage and his strong desire to get back his son. Furthermore, while Iolanthe and Ulrika are plotting, so are Marie Laveau and Charles’ brother, Giovanni. And, Adrienne will find herself in a very dangerous situation, the results of which could change the story forever.

As Mr. Punch gets back into life, will Julian settle further into the depths of their psyche? Will Robert ever have a chance to see Julian again? And, how will Julian fare with Scaramouche on the loose? Expect some strange and exciting events this week.

Many thanks to all of you who have been reading Punch’s Cousin, and I’d like to add my continued appreciation for all of your kind comments.
