I don't know where to start with today's Marypalooza of Mirth, but I think I'll start with the spoons hanging on the wall. Then I'll mosey over to Mary's ET face in panel one before I wander past the alleged egg that Mary is dumping into her ghost cake. Skipping over the border into panel two, I'll ponder Mary's thoughtful "Mmmm" as she reflects on her previous statement, and then I'll just hang in midair at Toby's maliciously voyeuristic suggestion that Mary needs to observe Hanna and Sean interact.
I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all. But above all else, the one thing that chills me to the core is the faulty reassurance that three years will go by fast!

Not to mention the cockeyed window in panel one...
Given her expressions, Mary's cooking takes on an a decidedly sinister air for me. I'm reminded of Sally the rag doll in "Nightmare Before Christmas".
That Toby is really a despicable creature. Honestly... these two are cut from the same cloth so it's no wonder they're such buddies.
Somerset is looking more appealing day by day. Charterstone has obvious structural problems. The kitchen window has slid 3 feet down the wall since yesterday.
One might think that Mary is adding vanilla to her concoction, but based on the tone of this conversation, I'm guessing it's strychnine.
Considering how little interest Mary and Toby took in Hanna's personal life before, barely offering to pick up a few items for her on occasion, their interest in "seeing them interact" is downright creepy.
Mary's bizarre look in panel 1, as she adds the Silly Putty egg to whatever that is, gives me the chills. Hanna won't survive 3 years here.
I think we've got it all wrong. Toby's comment about watching Sean and Hanna "interact" is proof that she is a meddler-in-training. First, she learns how to sip coffee and mull over neighbors' issues. Second, she learns to observe their behavior in order to figure the right moment to make a meddling move that will identify her as a heroic figure in the eyes of her meddlees. Mary provides the mentoring. Watch and learn, Toby...
Considering that it seems as if it takes Moy three years to tell a story, I'm here to tell you that it doesn't go by fast.
in three years they`ll both be some other creatures "tuna"!
It'll go fast. Tell Ian he has less than a thousand days to suffer with the inconvenience of having Hanna as a non-driving neighbor. Since Hanna has never been seen before (insert date here), in the half century that Mary (and Ian) have been living at Charterstone, he'll hardly know she's there.
You know, Ian, it might not be a bad idea to put your name on the list. After all, you never know.
When Mary is finished watching them interact, she can "review past interactions for possible causes!"
Toby Cameron! YESSS!
Now that Toby has appeared, this means that this story has ended.
KM feels no need to revisit or provide any resolution for any secondary plots.
Hanna will eventually move to Somerset, and in the meantime, she has a chauffeur and a BF in Sean. All done!
Sunday
The collective unconscious is fit to be tied by Karen Moy quoting Carl Jung.
The "chemical substances" is the latex paint Mary is pouring into the pan. Mary has deserted Food Team in favor of the Home Depot. Meanwhile, another earthquake strikes Charterstone.
Sunday: It has been a week, and no one has taken a bite out of their sandwich. Is the tuna "off", and Hanna doesn't know how to tell Sean? Is it because she saw the can with Fancy Feast on the label?
Mary really wants to say, “I’m curious to see them interact. The web cam that I planted in Sean’s apartment during my visit to Somerset is set to alert me if there is any suspicious movement in his bedroom. Oh, wait, Toby! Do you hear it? My computer is beeping like crazy. It’s the alert signal. Quick! Let’s go watch Hanna and Sean ‘interact!’”
