Well, Entertainer Esme has been outsmarted by the meddling of Mary Worth, and it probably won't be the last time, either. But maybe if she can get Katie to lean on that rickety wooden rail, she'll get to smoke Pall Mall's with Derek before the day is through.

That's it? A stupid momentary prank? What's the point?
Is it possible that Evil Entertainer Esme is just as dumb as Derek?
So many questions, so little sense.

So it would look like Esme has out meddled Mary in her own game. And here we all thought she was out to wreck things.
Hmmmm...since MW plots tend to make some of us think of classic movies, is it possible that Evil Entertainer Esme plans to Gaslight poor Katie? Not that Derek is that much of a prize, but she seems to be getting some sociopathic fun out of it. It's been a while since we've had a truly rotten villainess, and I hope Mary doesn't spoil things by reforming her.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Another Dud Of A Denouement From The Simple Mind Of KM".
Thanks get!
Without!

Couldn't Esme have just talked her way into the Hoosier's cabin and planted some cigarettes? It would have a) been more plausible, b) required much less effort on her part, and c) actually accomplished something if her intent was to drive a wedge between Katie and Derek.
I guess I just don't grasp what Esme's end game is. Does she have one? She's a Moy character. What was I thinking?
I have to question the quality of 3E's singing voice, with all the smoking she does. Unless her onboard show includes a medley of Rod Stewart and Kim Carnes' hits.
"We wouldn't have left without you."
?!?!?!?!
Does the Captain check with Mary before leaving port?
@Chester the Dog: I hear 3E's stage act more in a Jimmy Durante voice. Kim Carnes is a good call as would be Macy Gray.
Helpful relationship tip from KM: Ladies, is your man ignoring you? Is he blatantly admiring the physical attributes of another woman? The best thing you can to is find a way to become a victim of relatively minor and harmless offence, giving your man an opportunity to flex his muscles, vandalize some property, and thus rise to heroic status again in your eyes! It's all about acting helpless and submissive!
@Chester the Dog: Don't forget Bonnie Tyler and Mariann Faithful.
Ooh, Marianne Faithfull for sure, @Chester the Dog and Regina Wolfe-Parks.
We didn't see much of Haiti. How long will it take to get to Jamaica? Will Katie's brush with a Fate Worse Than Death jolt Derek back to the straight and narrow? Will EEE double-down on her villainy, e.g., offering to show Katie the "VIP lifeboats"?
Maybe the whole locked in the restroom scenario and subsequent rescue is an attempt by Karen Moy, who has possibly been paid off by the cruise industry, to convince potential cruise-goers that if they get locked in a restroom on shore (which must surely be a BIG fear of anyone contemplating a cruise that stops in a third-world country)they will NOT be left behind. Even though they probably would be..
@KitKat: by "..Katie's brush with a Fate Worse than Death" refer to meeting and being unable to shake Mary even after barricading herself in an on-shore restroom?
It amazes me the lengths people will go to avoid Mary.
I think Katie's story (I Was Trapped In A Haitian Bathroom For Fifteen Minutes!) would be great material for Wilbur Weston's Survivor Stories series.
C'mon Mary, throw Wilbur a bone.
Ah, Marianne's voice was so lovely back in the day. That was before she asked Mary for advice about her relationship with Mick, and Mary, having just heard "Satisfaction," suggested she try smoking the same cigarettes as he smoked.
