Mary Worth 1,618

"I'm home at last... again. Beth Dear, now might be a good moment to tell you about my ex-wife and three children. Turns out, she can't cook, but she was always upset just because I'm a workaholic and would come home late and miss the dinner she had tried to prepare. Now she's as bitter as your mother usually is. This is a much better situation for me now."

    Even by Santa Royale standards, I'm afraid this storyline has been kind of a fizzle. For a while I was sure we'd get an Elinor's-trauma flashback, several more Beth-and-Tom-sneaking-around incidents, and at least one more Mary intervention. Now that that it all seems pretty wrapped up here (barring a little Mary homily which, if we're especially unfortunate, could take us through Labor Day), can another Dawn story be far away?

    I don't know... the way Elinor reiterated and emphasized TomDear's promise to take care of her as well suggests to me she's going to be quite intrusive in their marriage. Maybe the coma-inducing plot up to now was a set up for some additional conflict in the future?

    Wait. What am I thinking? I forgot for a moment who is responsible for 'writing' this drivel. Sorry. Suffered a momentary brain burp...

    In deference to his new family, Tom has shaved his chest hair.

    So after all these years we finally see a Santa Royale mother and it's Elinor "be here for ME" Kinley.

    Just how many faces does Elinor Kinley have? She changes heads more often than her clothes.

    This plot seemed like KM had a lot going on in her real life and every once in a while, she stopped and jotted it down on a post-it.

    Is Mr. Harpman moving in with Beth and Elinor? This is all just so wrong. That terrified facial expression in Panel 3? It's called a survival instinct, dude, listen to your gut. Run, Tom, Run!

    We can only hope that, in the fullness of time, John Dill will bring his bad cake-baking self back to Charterstone, ready to make a new Elinor/Eleanor his bride.

    Yes, meg, I predicted the John Dill wedding pink cake for TomBeth, so I like your natural progression of Dillinor hookup.
