And there you have it folks. This train arrived sooner than expected, but I'm getting off at the station. I was on Team Madi from day one, but Mary has successfully baptized her in the Charterstone Pool of Intervention, and she will never be the same. I did not expect Madi to go so suddenly.

"You remind me of my Gram" -- Wow. Now who could've seen THAT coming?
Next reveal -- Since Gram colored her own hair, will Mary act in kind for Madi's sake? A big tuft of Mary Worth purple up there?
Madi: "You know, Mary. You remind me of my Gram.
Mary: "Oh, why is that, dear?"
Madi: "Because you're really old and you look like you're going to croak any minute."

And now the whole pool tastes and smells like Jean Nate perfume.
Ladies at our pool would leave a perfume wake behind them as if they marinated in that stuff....
Wow, who could have seen this coming? Just everyone, that’s who. Tomorrow, Saul and Greta will return from their walk to see Mary and Madi hugging, and Madi asking, “ Can I call you Gram 2, Mary, and when can we bake muffins?” The only suspense will be how many weeks Mary’s victory lap will last, and how long Toby’s trail of disastrous desserts is.
As may have been mentioned, these panels are definitely nominees for the Worthy Awards "Floating Heads" category!
Madi has been baptized by St. Mary. She'll honor her patron saint by styling her hair like Mary's and dying it white.
@katyb: "floating heads"! Good one.

Glad to see Mary actually enjoying the pool, as opposed to the last time I saw her dive in to save Olive Tummybrain....
That look Mary's giving Madi is just about the creepiest thing in the history of Mary Worth.
That is some mighty choppy water for a swimming pool. Cannonball by Wilbur?
Upon Dad's return:
Madi: "I hate you, Daddy! I'm moving in with my new Gram, Mary!"
Mary: (Searching for the correct inane platitude) Uh, let's not be hasty, Madi! Haste makes ... something bad! Perhaps your father can become one of my boyfriends. That way you'll never have to see him again!
MONDQAY: Mary seems delirious that she is reminds Madi of her dearly departed nameless Gram. Perhaps Myster Wynter is finally rid of the problem. I can't wait for her to come home and say "Screw you and that weenie dog, Uncle Saul, I'm moving in with Grandma Mary."
(Wait'll Madi starts throwing her stuff on the floor and puts her dirty feet on Mary's couch, kicking off her lace doilies.)
"You remind me of my Gram."
"Oh do I, now? Did your Gram make you simple but well-prepared food that was a comfort? Was cooking one of her favorite things to do -- not only necessary but a pleasure?"
"Well, y . . ."
"And did she tend to her flowers and plants with loving care?"
"Sh . . ."
"Just as I thought. Madi, let's not compare me with anyone. It can be only painful for you."

C'mon, Madi! Let's see you dunk the old lady! I would LOVE to see Mary with dripping hair..
My theory is that Madi's father Lyle of the lilac hair has never employed meaningless platitudes with her. Unfortunately that's left her with no natural immunity. Next time she won't fold so quickly.
