Oh, wouldn't it just figure that Bree of all people is on duty now. Bree, Employee of the Month three months in a row for her swift and efficient customer service! This job would be much better suited for Gina or Allison, but alas, we have to settle for Bree. What a turn of events! How will she ever stall McThuggy and poor Emily Smith? Today's Full Strip

Bree, tell Mary to ask them to send a young, unmarried policeman for you.
Mary, finally the vigilante she was born to be.
That man wearing his baseball cap indoors needs a good talking-to as well, Mary.
If/when the police arrive, they should take Mary into custody for manhandling an innocent waitress. Mary's propensity for violence is troubling. Meanwhile, Hulk McThuggy and the girl leave Diner because of the lousy service while Mary and Bree argue.
AND, look at the last panel! Toby is cheating on Prof. Chinbeard with Baseball Cap Guy!
If Gina were on duty, there would be no need to stall. Her normal level of customer service would suffice.
They've been outside talking it over for so long that the customer at Table 1 by the door has finished his coffee and left, and a new party has been seated.
Hmmmm...I don't suppose it will occur to anyone to get the license number and note the direction of travel if Thuggy and Kidnappee leave Diner?
They'll be heading straight to McDonald's anyway, where they'll at least be able to get drive-through.
I'm really hoping for a high-speed chase, with Mary in hot pursuit in her lilac-colored Ford Fairlane. Or maybe she drives a K-Car?

Also, I think it would be much less suspicious if Mary had dragged Bree into the kitchen to hiss at her, instead of dragging her into the parking lot.
Of course that could just be a clever set-up, leading to Mary's chasing Thuggy across the parking lot and whapping him with her purse, which now contains a brick instead of a wallet.

Or, it could be that the kidnaper will flee, sans Emily, when the cops arrive.
Later, that same night, in a (the) dark Chartersone Alley:
Mary is carrying out her recycleables. Suddenly the kidnaper lunges out of the darkness and puts a knife to Mary's throat.
"Yer th' dame who sicced th' doughnut squad on me. Yer gonna pay, ol' lady, but first gimme what you got in that bag."
"Oh, Big Orange, what happened in your childhood to make you so angry?"
Bree will have to use all her mad stalling skillz to keep Thuggy and Emily there until Mary can drive back to Charterstone and phone the police. I'm hoping Bree will drop a meatloaf on his lap so the police dogs can track him when he flees.
lol @ Meg and "Big Orange." and @ Sandi Ego!!!
Hands up, who is ready for Monday? I for one am ready to see what happens.
Reading the comics to the kids: "So Mary wants her to stall."
My 7 Year Old (a.k.a. The Thin White Luke): "That shouldn't be a problem at the Diner."
Mary, is no one in DINER seeing you shake poor Bree into yogurt? Those bobbles are right out of Apartment 3-G!
I love how Mary's gone all cross-eyed like Mommy Dearest in the bathroom scene where she threw the Bon Ami all over the place.
Mary, don't blow a vessel in your head! What would we do without your salmon squares?
