That'll Help!

Later, after Martin calls Gabriella and then Gabriella invites herself over to 3-G... Phew! Let's take a break from the monastery with the B-plot, shall we?

"There must be something I can do to help!" seems like an odd reaction to finding out your friend's boyfriend just died. Sort of like saying, "There must be someway I can bring him back to life!" That's Tommie's "nurse's instinct," I suppose. You can't play God with everyone, Tommie!

More puzzling is Gabriella's suggestion that Tommie call Lu Ann. I guess she means Tommie should call her to break the news so Margo won't have to, but I read it like, maybe you could call Lu Ann and she'll have some ideas to bring Eric back to life. Am I the only one reading it this way?

No, it's a chance for the reader to see what's happening out in SnarkAss, Nebraska, with Luann. Actually, nothing's happening, probably. Maybe Eric's death will prompt Luann to return to NYC to actualy get some action in her life.

That's how I read it too. Lu Ann is the one who talks to ghosts, right?

You're definitely not alone, Mags. And omg Lu Ann talks to ghosts?! Wow, things really could take a turn, here... a turn for the awesome!

PS- SnarkAss? hahaha... good one, phoebes.

...and if Lu Ann talks to ghosts, she can get the rest of the details for Gab.

Lu Ann has seen and talked to ghosts, and Gabriella has had semi-accurate visions... I'm telling you, they could make an awesome Ghost Whisperer/Sex in the City hybrid TV show! This HAS to be coming.
