Ronnie and Owen? Nnnnooooooo

Episode dated 1/3/1010 America

Plumbing problem in the Vic...Owen just happens to have plumbing experience. What a great thing for Ronnie(LOL). The beer pumps are clogged, when Owen tries to fix them an accidental mis-hit with a hammer causes a beer eruption. He freaks out and needs to change his clothes. While upstairs... Ronnie's disparaging remarks soon turn to sympathy. Before we know it they're kissing and on their way to a physical encounter. It's implied in the episode that Ronnie will try the "hole in the condom" routine.
Roxie finds the toilet seat up in the upstairs bathroom and suggests to Peggy that someone had sex the night before. Peggy and Roxie suspect Ronnie. Owen shows up the next day asking for Ronnie, calling her his friend. Roxie puts 2 and 2 together. She calls Ronnie's phone fussing her out about Owen and Denise overhears. Denise and Ronnie have words and she realizes that she's jealous. (Let's stop for a minute and examine this latest development). Denise is jealous that the man who beat her until she looked like "Road-Kill" is seeing some other poor victim. The man who held her daughter under water until she stopped breathing. Does this storyline seem asinine to anyone else? Denise starts avoiding talk about her wedding, won't answer Lucas' calls. The storyline even has Patrick giving credence to these feelings. It's a good thing the acting is good .....this storyline would make me stop watching this ridiculous show.
