Dawn leaves the classic "just friends" voice mail. Some real zingers. "You're an amazing guy..." "Why mess with a good thing?" "It's not you, it's me..." and, of course, the almost clichéd, "This has nothing to do with your missing arm..."
All of this would be cruel enough, but she leaves it on Jim's voice mail. I guess this is how the story ends because one thing I can absolutely guarantee: Jim is as gone as his left arm. We will never hear from that guy again.

George is going to be mad!
Oh, I so wish it! And can he take Dawn with him?
Hmm, you're just being a meany tease, aren't you?
We may not hear from Jim again but we may see him once more - self-immolation on the doorstep of Dawn's apartment.
If this guy is as unbalanced as he seems, that voice mail message is going to send him right over the edge. I don't think we've seen the last of him....
So I was thinking (!!) the other day, and I wondered how much of a story Karen & Joe set out ahead of time. For instance, did she just think of the Dawn gets dumped and goes on a cruise storyline or did she envision this whole masterpiece? I wish I had a job where I could coast for six months on one stupid idea.
Before she left that voicemail for Jim, Dawn consulted "Bartlett's Familiar Breakup Cliches". (She's got the app on her smartphone.)
I would like to see Dawn kill those two birds with her one phone.
Stick with the pursuit Jim --- teenagers who prefer sporting Hillary Clinton pantsuits don't grow on trees.
At least she didn't dump him via Twitter.

Karen Moy will have Dawn dump him via fax or telex.
