And each of them actually IS different from panel to panel... so that's cool too. I don't have much to say, except nice mug. Now everyone go out and make a difference, okay? Do something today that Mary would do if she could be there herself. 
Yes, Emily, and try not to get kidnapped again. Because, of course, you realize it was your own fault.
Well, it turns out that it wasn't the head of Wayne the Kidnapper (severed as Bill the Manager assisted the police with his kitchen cleaver) in Mr. Smith's bag after all... Just some fruit. Of course, Bill, Bree and Ronnie didn't get as large a fruit basket as Mary Worth got. They each got only a pear. So all is right in the world.
I'm thrilled that Mary Worth has passed judgment and approved of Emily's parents. Though I'm not sure how she did it since she doesn't seem to have ever been at the police station. 
Help is letting Wayne the Kidnapper get away. Because they are very slow. And stupid.
Wayne the Kidnapper is so annoyed at how slow the police are moving, he attempts to speed things up by running outside to meet them. Thank you, Wayne.
Well, I just got back in town from my trip to Illinois and Missouri, and not a moment too soon! The police have arrived. It's a good thing it took them just over two weeks to get here.
McThuggy finally realizes why the "Good Eats" Diner's marketing slogan is "Where the *&^%$#@ is that waitress?"
Either the waitress has brought a new place mat to Emily to color while she waits for dessert, or she's playing with leftover chicken fingers that look like actual fingers... cooool.
If McThuggy suddenly tries to leave, another stalling technique Bree can use is to wrap him up in her elastic arm and hold him until the police arrive.
"Rainbow Swirl, as in That's what your gonna see when I whack you on the back of the head with our industrial sized KitchenAid mixer."
Except for one obvious detail. Emily has long hair in the poster, and the girl in the diner has short hair. Duh. If the story of Gina and Bobby taught us anything, it's that no one ever cuts their hair in the Worthiverse.
"Plus, I'm cold. I could use a sweater. I wonder if there's a decent diner close by where I can get a warm meal and a free sweater."
Emily Smith. Ten. Blond. Blue eyes. Girl. There really aren't that many details to remember, so that's probably why you can remember them despite your dementia.
Goleta? That explains why Mary said, "ANOTHER" missing child in yesterday's strip. Here's a story about a child that went tragically missing from Goleta 50 years ago. Recent memory for Mary Worth. 
My stars! What is Santa Royale coming to? First pickpockets, and now kidnappers?
