Ah, the sweet smell of Schadenfreude is in the air! Mary is all sick and pathetic, just waiting for someone to thrust a steaming hot tuna casserole into her bare and feeble hands… .And do we really think anyone is heartbroken about not having to spend the holiday crouched around Mary’s table eating food that she has prepared? “Please, Toby, have some more green bean casserole.” And Toby looks delighted to have more time for her art- that ugly dog isn’t going to paint his own picture.
Only Mary would say, "I'm too TIRED to even make homemade chicken soup for myself!" I presume she'd die before opening a can of chicken soup.
So Mary called Toby before Jeff? That's telling. You're right as usual, meg. Toby is giddy with relief at this news: "Get well soon, my friend! Maybe you could defrost a muffin from that storehouse in your freezer. Bye-bye, gotta go!"
I'm looking forward to seeing Mary's face when after finishing her phone calls, she realizes that neither her dear soul mate Jeff, nor any of her cherished, loving friends even offered to stop by with a lousy can of soup.
Toby doesn’t even think about bringing Mary some chicken soup. I know she can’t manage opening a can and turning on the stove, but she could call Door Dash and have it delivered. But she’s concentrating so hard at trying to draw a cat—or something like that.
The annoyed-looking cat staring out of Toby's easel reminds me of those "Can you draw this cat?" come ons pushing drawing lessons that I used to see as a child on the back of Highlights magazines. Apparently Toby will be too busy rendering her version of the cat to bother seeing to Mary's needs. Worse, I imagine the rest of the week a grapevine of Charterstoneites talking to one another by phone as they arrange a surprise dinner at Mary's, brought together with a bout of Covid for all.... Oh, yeah, there is no Covid in the Worthiverse...
The annoyed-looking cat glaring from the easel in front of Toby reminds me of those "Can You Draw this Cat?" ads I used to see as a child on the back cover of Highlights magazines. And why is Toby wearing an apron? Is she contemplating (Yikes!) rendering the puss in watercolor?! And will we be treated to several days of Charterstoneites talking to one another on the phone about what to d about Thanksgiving now that Mary has canceled? My world has definitely been rocked now that I know that comic strip characters can come down with illnesses that affect humans...
It’s hard to see Dawn so brokenhearted over the cancelled Thanksgiving dinner, isn’t it? Now she’ll have to go with someone her own age to see a movie they’ve been looking forward to for years.
Dawn's friend looks likes she stepped out of "Archie."
Mary's 0 for 2 in her search for friends who are (1) despondent over missing her Thanksgiving dinner and (2) concerned enough to order a Happy Meal to be delivered to Mary.
I wonder if Dr. Jeff will blow off Mary? Wouldn't it make sense to call him first? Oh, never mind, it's the worthyverse. I foresee a surprise dinner in Mary's honor.
If that’s supposed to be a poster for “Wicked”, congrats to June for being right on top of the popular culture. Oh, and Cynthia Ervio’s lawyer would like a word…
Undoubtedly, Mary's dear friends will show up with a rotisserie chicken, a bag of frozen Tater tots and a can of green beans. Mary will be thrilled despite the fact that they've caught her wearing the same nightgown she's had on for a week and hasn't yet had the strength to hose down the bathroom. Will she remember to ask them where the heck they were when she needed a can of chicken soup?

That's the most threatening cat I've ever seen.

As Mary weakens, Toby gains the ability to hold her ePhone like a normal person.

Mary is sobbing! The world will end for sure now.
Why does Toby have a little, tiny easel and very large brushes and pens?

Margret Hamilton makes a cameo appearance. Apologies, couldn’t resist.

New flash! Dawn has a friend.
Or maybe she's babysitting?

KitKat: I thought Dawn’s friend was one of the Jackson Twins! Do you remember them?
