Yes, Emily, and try not to get kidnapped again. Because, of course, you realize it was your own fault.

Well, it turns out that it wasn't the head of Wayne the Kidnapper (severed as Bill the Manager assisted the police with his kitchen cleaver) in Mr. Smith's bag after all... Just some fruit. Of course, Bill, Bree and Ronnie didn't get as large a fruit basket as Mary Worth got. They each got only a pear. So all is right in the world.

Well, as Mary Worth lounges in her Forever Lazy, we can either expect a new story, or Emily's family is coming to find out how Emily can become a model. I mean, Mary said she knows somebody.

You DO read all kinds of stories in the news. Including this one about a waitress who identified a kidnapped child and stalled the kidnapper with a free dessert.

I'm thrilled that Mary Worth has passed judgment and approved of Emily's parents. Though I'm not sure how she did it since she doesn't seem to have ever been at the police station.
And great move by the police to haul Emily down to the station to visit with addicts and prostitutes while she waits for her goodly parents to arrive, instead of letting her wait at Diner with a free bowl or rainbow swirl ice cream. I wonder if they took her down to the hoosegow in the same car as Wayne the Kidnapper.

It'd be nice if we even had a regular compass. Which way is the shore?

I am so glad that Mary Worth has a conscience in her guts to give her courage. This is what sets her apart. If only other people had consciences. Then we could all be as awesome as Mary Worth and talk about our awesomeness for nine days straight.

While Mary is relieved that she didn't have to "physically tangle" with Wayne the Kidnapper, the rest of us, of course, are also very relieved. Although she appears more than capable in the panel above, watching Mary Worth duke it out with a hardened criminal would not have been interesting at all.
