I'm glad today was pretty good and that they're hopeful to move Ryan out of ICU. Fingers crossed!
As for Chuck, I'd bet he's wanted this for a long long time but didn't know how to achieve it. And yes, how sad that it took such an emergency to bring it about. But I am very happy it has finally happened.
As for the Maggot...she's always been the problem in every way possible. I am very impressed that clearly Chuck has put his foot down about her interfering in his fatherhood duties with Ryan. That could bode very very well for the future. Maybe he's grown stronger and/or her spell over him is dissipating...God willing.
