So Ashlee Jones really does have a great job offer out of town? And Drew is heartbroken? I saw none of this coming.
Just an aside, I've taken Greyhound several times in the past five years. I've actually enjoyed it as a way to travel, but without doubt the worst customer service I've experienced in years. If you have to call their overseas call center, be prepared for a fight.

A lovely post yesterday by our dear Nance: https://deptofnance.blogspot.com/
Trashlee leaves town! On a bus as tall as a two storey building! Meanwhile, brokenhearted Drew goes to sob on Shauna Of The BrainDead’s shoulder. And she steals his Rolex. Again.
Wanders, thanks for the link to Nance’s blog! What a marvelous writer she is.
This may be Whippet Bus Lines, not Greyhound. Did Ashlee already stow her probably banged-up suitcase in the baggage compartment, or is she traveling really, really light, with not even a makeup case? Bella Hadid travels on a higher plane (pun intended).
Around Labor Day, Mary will try to be a matchmaker by introducing Drew to a boringly blah new resident at Charterstone. Snore….
Driver: "I'm sorry, Miss, but those cut-offs are in violation of our dress code."
The contract for the call center work for Greyhound's parent company most certainly did not go to the high bidder.
And I bet the customer service reps all have thick accents and names like Ashlee, Shauna and Drew.
I just hope this story line comes to an end. It's probably my least favorite in recent memory (but my memory isn't what it used to be). I can't believe Drew didn't see that these women were trouble - especially when Ashlee showed up at his job cursing. And Mary didn't even have to bake muffins to save the day. In fact the entire thing was Worthless!
I fear that the greyhound image is meant to be foreshadowing a return to the ‘Dogs are Great’ storyline, just for those who didn’t get enough of Saul, Eve and their lovable canine sidekicks before.
Does this mean that Ashlee really did get a job offer? Considering that KM hasn’t exactly portrayed Ashlee as being the industrious type thus far, are we to believe that she’s chosen to take a job rather than continue her pursuit of a Mrs. Doctorate? Sure… that’s believable.
Tomorrow we’ll see that this is the bus from the movie, Speed, and Ashlee will assume the Sandra Bullock role and save the lives of everyone on board. Hey, why not?

Meg-Say it isn't so! I love my dog, but another five years (or so it seemed) of "Dogs can cure any trouble" is too much!
Poor Drew. Thrown under the bus again.
So TrAshlee has an unlikely change of heart, has no desire to give it a real go with Drew, then leaves her home (such as it is) on a bus to nowhere? Why? Why not just break up with Drew and get a real job? What have we learned here? Uh, nothing. Not sure what the point is, other than allowing Internet snarkers to have a field day. Maybe ... just maybe that's enough sometimes.
Ah, just kidding.
Kid behind TrAshlee in the bus line: "Hey lady, what happened to the rest of your pants?"
So Ashlee just abandoned that dump of a camper she was living in? Heavens, it might fall into disrepair.
Or maybe she bequeathed it to her father, who would be a nice addition to the Greater Santa Royale community.

Thanks Wanders, that is a lovely post from Nance. Hopefully she will return with her daily boldface haiku. We miss you Nance! As for Drew, when are Mary and her muffins and platitudes going to show up so we can officially end this story?
Perhaps Trashlee's new "job" is finding some schmo who is even more gullible than Drew (hard to believe there's anyone that dumb) and who does not give lollipops to little girls. Too bad Wilbur is with Estelle because he would have been a good mark.
“¡Weelbur mi amor! ¿You geev leetle Trashlee un beeg emerald, si? ¿So leetle Trashlee, she can get beeg modelling geeg like Bella Hadeed, comprende?”
SATURDAY
Is Ashlee’s phone a Jitterbug, with a GIANT font? Come to think of it, all of June’s drawings of phones are … unusual.
Ashlee can introduce herself to the guy sitting behind her. He looks like a potential grifter partner.
I didn’t know a trailer falling to pieces was such a nostalgic thing for Trashlee. Did she acquire it as part of her first scam?
So many things to digest here:
1. A want ad is her idea of a job offer?
2. The "great job offer" is for a waitress?
3. It's out of town because there are no waitress openings in all of Santa Royale?
If she's not getting hired by Hooters at a salary significantly higher than the usual diner pay, then none of this makes a bit of sense.
As much as I've enjoyed this story line because it's been more interesting than the usual dreck, this development is annoying.
Why can't Moy just write about people doing real things? What, there's not enough drama in real life? Sheesh.
-- Scottie McW.
Ashlee must have depleted the hot water supply in her camper with that one shower. Stephen King doesn’t look too happy to be sitting down wind of her.
Scottie McW – You ask why KM can’t write about people doing real life things. Remember that old adage? “Write what you know.” Well, there’s your answer.
HelenClark
She was lying about the job offer. Once on the bus she's looking for jobs.
That’s not an actual want ad she’s looking at. That’s Drew’s post on the Rich Docs dating site.
Meanwhile At The Clinic.. Ashlee’s floating head is scamming insurance billing info off Drew’s clipboard.
MONDAY
I love how Mary regularly reminds Jeff that he has a son, and that the son’s name is Drew.
Distracted by thoughts of Ashlee, Drew embarks on a day of misdiagnosing patients at the People’s Clinic, topped off by him giving a lollipop to a service dog.
Yeah, it looks like Drew is about to go on a malpractice run.
Ah well, you get what you pay for at the People's Clinic.
Maybe the hospital will send Jared over to clean up the mess.
-- Scottie McW.
Drew is such a competent doctor that the fact that his nurse is afflicted with severe narcolepsy hasn’t even registered with him. Look, you nitwit, she’s literally asleep at the keyboard! Look!
Thanks for the amazing snarkfest, everyone! You've all outdone yourselves. I'm glad to see that the staff person behind the desk at the People's Clinic has recovered a normal coloring following her witnessing the fight between Shauna and Ashlee. I also notice that she is one of the few who are not so smitten by Dr. Drew that they cannot function. Hoping she becomes a regular in the Worthiverse.
KitKat- If you had a son like Drew, wouldn't you want to forget? Mary is the mistress of passive-aggressive behavior. I am sure she takes pleasure in reminding Dr. Jeff about his son.
On a lighter note, the staff at the clinic does seem to be more aware than usual.
Thunderheels:
No wonder Dr. Jeff can’t get anywhere with Mary. She’s already the mistress of passive-aggressive behavior!
The Mary Worth Challenge. The next time someone asks any of us a pointed, fairly personal, question, we should all swing our heads away to the side before offering a vague answer. Let's compare the reactions of our inquisitors.
