Has no one cautioned Mary about over-watering her plants? This waterboarding has been going on for days. If the plants had any secrets to reveal, they would have given them up a long time ago.
Wow, Toby has become pretty dense and callous. I'm not sure how you can live in the USA, where plenty of people keep pets, and not know that people actually like their pets and miss them when they are gone.
Mary’s an abject failure at improving Toby’s unkind, cynical attitude. Mary’s either losing her meddling chops or she keeps Toby around to make herself look better by comparison. Time for Toby to go back to online shopping on bogus websites. Another bout of identity theft might be just what Toby needs.
I hope we are due for something other than Mary countering Toby’s sociopathy with bland platitudes (blatitudes?). I am fascinated by Mary’s ever-full watering can. That’s an amazing device.
Incidentallly, I now have an earworm of “Nature Boy” going. At least it’s Nat King Cole, who provides a better earworm than any other singer, but I’d prefer “Unforgettable”.
Haha good one Yahoonski!! I, too want Mary’s watering can. It saves arm strain from holding it.
Perhaps Mr. Wynter’s interactions with Toby and her insufferable husband turned him into the curmudgeon he is. I’d be unfriendly too if I had to deal with those two. lol at what that poor old man has to deal with in that building: Nasty, animal hating Toby and her grandfather of a husband, Wilbur, singing in the shower and using up all the water in the condo, Dawn and her parkouring teacher/lover, Iris and her stud muffin keeping the whole building awake...no wonder the guy is unfriendly.

Where did Mary find that amazing gravity-defying watering can? I need one!

Great comment, Yahoonski!
So who get the epiphany in this story arc?
Toby - that people can become attached to their pets?
Mr. Wynter - that he needs to establish relationships with people?
