Mary Worth 1,265

In the case of Televangelist Johnny Thomas, that trigger would be media hounding.

Mary's glee is certainly off-putting! I agree with Wanders - what is she drinking? I think repentant televangelist Johnny Thomas is just a plot device - he'll be gone tomorrow.

What I thought was Jeff's vintage varsity jacket turns out to be a sweater vest. I guess Jeff is endorsing Rick Santorum.

"Interesting point, Mary. Now could you please stop picking my nose?"

Mary hits the pinnacle of both creepy and smarmy with this pose and comment.

Yeah, I'm disappointed, too, that we'll not see the fallen preacher. However, I'm not sure Nola's "epiphamy" will be solid.

I for one think that 2 people with moments of epiphany belong together.

Nola Wolverson-Thomas, anyone?

Nola as the Worthisvere's answer to Tammy Faye Baker.....

Sandi Ego said...

Then again, an epiphany can drag on for weeks, too.

Do you believe in short stories with a sudden resolution? A story can have a conclusion within five minutes. You don't need to spend time resolving the central conflict. But characters usually have to be FLIMSY!

I think Nola is going to call a meeting at work, and make a public confession of everything she's done, then throw herself on the mercy of her company. For this, she will be promptly fired- but, in not having her face legal charges, some mercy will be shown.

Later, while hunting for discarded beer cans at the park, Nola will bump into our Hero Brownie, who will show her the ropes- literally. Brownie's macrame skills are legendary, among Santa Royale's vagrant community.

Nola's newly acquired skill inspires her to create a line of macrame fashions, jumping on the 70's nostalgia bandwagon. She and Brownie start a clothing company called Let's Tie The Knot, and hire Liza Colby as their top salesperson.

Later, at a Rick Santorum rally, Mr. Santorum himself spies Dr. Jeff, wearing a dapper new macrame sweater vest. When he inquires as to where Jeff bought it, Jeff replies; ''Let's Tie The Knot!''- which causes Rick Santorum to lecture Dr. Jeff about gay marriage. Jill Black, standing nearby and aware of the whole mixup, points mockingly at Santorum, and laughs; ''HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!''- which Dawn Weston immediately videos, and posts to all of her online accounts, effectively ruining Santorum's chance at the GOP nomination.

Actually, Hero Brownie should be showing D-Dan the ropes on how to be a happy hobo.

This is fun, Maude! And Mr. Locket Pickpocket purchases a Let's Tie the Knot 70's nostalgia macrame sweater vest, using Bonnie Johnson's credit card.

Maude Findlay said...

Don't worry, Anonymous@ 12:02PM- D-Dan's raging alcoholism & anger issues will immediately vanish, when he's given his job back, and his reputation is cleared. His wife will return, too. That's the way things work in the Worthiverse!

@Brick- I hope Let's Tie The Knot's 75% off sale doesn't cause Bonnie to go into a hoarding relapse.

DENIED!! I can't believe that we won't see the end of Nola's stint as VP at Company. I hope we haven't seen the last of that merrymaker...

Personally, I think within five minutes Nola Wolvenson will shake off "what just happened" and rush back to the expensive shopping district to purchase the coveted outfit she was admiring earlier.

Did anyone else notice that Johnny Thomas keeps changing his jacket?

Prepare for Nola being rehabilitated. She has had her epiphany, it's been five minutes and our Happy Hobo has been the trigger.

Mary's eyes seem particularly big today. Perhaps she's morphing into an anime character.

Dr. Jeff: Mary, will you marry me?
Mary: Nope
