What did you watch?

On my second-to-last day of the school year, I went into work, ran errands, and then came home. I then watched soaps, football, and a new LMN flick:
soaps: Both Thur's ep's.
    DOOL - Ha! Leo jinks the heck out of Holly-Tate by warning Holly that in soaps (and IRL?) it's just when the star-crossed lovers are finally together that fate screws with them - and, indeed, Sophia shows up at the end to tell Tate she's preggers!! (Is she lying, tho?!...) Javi gets Gabi to admit that she's interested in JJ, and then Javi sets Gabi up on a date with him! Julie tries to warn JJ off Gabi, but gets nowhere. Lucas from "Girl Meets World" (gah! that show was a decade ago now?!!) - aka. "New Doug" - goes to Leo to try to pawn off the stolen necklace!
    GH - Curtis unveils to Drew the plan to take control of Aurora from Drew. (Shouldn't Curtis have waited until the success of the plan was confirmed?!) Drew is livid, but totally had it coming. Martin Gray follows Nina's instructions, and serves Michael with the separation papers. (I wonder if the storyline is going to be that Michael steals the kids from Willow and leaves town with them?...) Willow isn't thrilled at Nina's unilateral actions on this, but Nina (rightly) warns Willow that now both the Quartermaines and the Corinthoes will be Willow's enemies. Josslyn runs across Cameron, and tells him that Dex is dead (Cameron is amazingly gracious about that, as he should be glad that Dex is dead!), before Cameron is dragged away by his new girlfriend, Gretchen (Indi Star, aka. Indigo Carey); at the end, Joss sees a vision of Dex, but then he's gone.
My Husband's Other Face (LMN) - I expected this new LMN flick to be over-the-top, but it went way beyond that to completely preposterous!!
    Semi-Lifetime/X-Mas movie staple Brooke Burfitt stars as woman unhappily married to a failing(? well, he thinks he's failing!) writer (Braxton Angle), who previously cheated on her. When she discovers she is pregnant, she gets talked by her shifty bestie (Courtney Elvira) into visiting a woo-woo New Age herbalist "healer"-type to get, effectively, a "love potion" for the husband.
    The magical potion seems to work in getting her husband "back in love" with her.
    But, wait! What is really going on here?! And why do people keep disappearing, etc.?!
    I am giving nothing away, really, in saying if you don't trust her bestie, or the husband, you are on the right track.
    But the ending resolution was so completely preposterous that they totally lost me. And they don't even reveal the bestie's fate at the end!!
    Bah!
