So, everything dramatic happens offscreen, and all we will ever know about it comes from an offhand comment from Toby. Ho-hum. I guess I’ll just concentrate on the tiny muffin plates. Where do you get those? A doll’s tea set? Small pet feeders?
@fauxprof, Toby made those plates in her studio. She specializes in miniatures. I think her brain is in that category, too, because she’s certainly not a deep thinker about her husband and his (ahem!) past interactions.
We’re not the only ones frustrated by all the dramatic stuff happening offscreen. June’s likely breaking her pencils in half and muttering. Ian’s shadowy frowny face last week was the only opportunity she had for a bit of excitement.
So Helen was the former future ex-Mrs. Cameron? And Toby, what you call miniatures in California, we call nips in New England. Please don’t litter the Santa Royale roadsides with them.
And "the former future ex-Mrs. Cameron"! Very good, meg!
Toby will be in her studio working on a miniature of Helen Moss that features red eyes, a warty nose, and fangs. Then she'll surreptitiously slip it into Helen's SRCc mailbox and watch the fun.
So, does this mean we can look forward to Cal sulking his way into middle age over his unrequited love of Toby, while attempting to make trouble for Ian? Maybe Helen Moss can loan him her binoculars. And are we supposed to imagine that Helen will drop her quest for the involvement of "school management" just because Ian asked her to? The Worthiverse: where reality comes to die.
In case anyone is interested, I explained the source of my avatar in a comment to Scottie McW on yesterday's thread. I included a link to the full image of which my avatar is a clip. It shows exactly what Toby should do to Ian when she finds him tomcatting around with former students.
Miss Scarlet: Maybe if Toby would drink enough wine and go dancing on the mountains she would be in the proper Dionysian frame of mind to deal with Ian the way Agave dealt with Pentheus.
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
It appears Ian has a past pattern of performance. If you know what I mean.

ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that we haven't seen the last of Ian and Helen

ReplyDelete@Jana: wow! I don't think Toby can pull that off, actually. Although it would be light years more interesting than what we are getting from Moy.
