This is a great plan, with lots of positive outcomes. Not only does it deny Amy the opportunity to attend her mother's wedding, but it means Hanna won't even have to tell her husband about their daughter and grandson until it's too late for him to back out. It's win-win.

And because we all know that Secrecy and Lies are the foundation of good, enduring relationships!
Notice the sly little smirk on Mary's face as she approves of Hanna's plan. She sees the possibility of a mega-meddle, in which she shames Amy for her selfishness, poor parenting and loose lifestyle, all in front of a city hall crowd. And she'll make Amy hold the reception tuna casserole through the whole thing.
With her hand on Hanna's shoulder, Mary seems to be giving the future Mrs. Hastings the bum's rush out of her apartment, a la "Yeah, yeah, whatever - now get out."
The forgotten person in all of this is Amy's Brother. What about HIM, mom? At least Amy has a name, an ex, and a child. Just as Chin Napkin Groupie has taken on the cause of Chin Napkin, I will advocate on behalf of poor Amy's Brother.
So Hanna's vision is worse than I ever imagined. . . Although she never had an eye exam, I predict she is suffering from severe nearsightedness--psychological and moral at least. No wonder she almost ran in to Mary in the parking lot! Ian was right; Hanna is a menace in more ways than one. . . Thanks, Karen Moy, for creating a character I LOVE to dislike. . .
Hannah sounds very immature: "I won't tell me daughter I slept with this man until after I sleep with him, so by the time I tell her it will be too late for her to tell me not to do it".
Wanders, I seem to recall a conversation when Hanna did tell Sean about her daughter and grandson. Sean mentioned he had no children.
I guess I am the only one who thinks that Hanna might be doing the right thing. We have been privy to Amy's inner thoughts about losing her babysitter. It might be better to not let her know beforehand.
Worst. Advice. Ever.
Doth Mary's wisdom have no bounds?
I remember that once, when written by someone with skills, Mary was portrayed as a wise and admirable person. Moy portrays her as a smug know it all with little wisdom to offer. The really sad thing is that I don't think that Moy realizes it.
Anonymous @ 10:44 AM - yes, I believe Sean found out about Amy and Gordon when Amy called in the middle of a date.
Oh my, I asked for action and we're getting it, all righty! But I didn't mean don't tell Amy before you tie the knot! Why isn't Mary inviting Hanna, Sean, Amy, and Gordon to dinner so they can interact?
Hanna has good reason to want to do this behind her obnoxious daughter's
back. Never underestimate the sabotaging capabilities of the truly selfish!
But, as for Saturday's strip... the way Hanna is talking about getting into Somerset sooner than expected DOES make it seem like the relationship is a means toward that end instead of a fortunate by-product. If that's true, Amy's over-blown sense of entitlement clearly has a genetic component.
Saturday: Hannah confirms that it's been all about that wait, 'bout that wait, no trouble. No romantic sail into the sunset for this gal.
Saturday.
That final "Ha Ha", confirms Hanna as the nastiest, most manipulative character since Nola Wolvenson! And no chance of rehabilitation since Mary thanks her behavior is just fine.
After Amy instigates a competency hearing for Hanna, we'll see who has the last Ha Ha.

I've never read a Nicholas Sparks book, but, from what I've heard, it's not surprising that KM looked to him for a quotation. Meh.
If Mary believes that "things tend to have a way of working themselves out, anyway," why is she always in Full Meddle Mode?

Pink suit with matchy-matchy pink sensible heels. OK, age-appropriate. Add leopard-print blouse? No. Just no.
