Pouring Out the Pain


Aw, Scott and Margo have reached that level of wine intake that precedes sloppily drunk but goes just beyond pleasantly buzzed where you get all sappy and emotional.  It's typically where you pontificate on philosophical questions, but Scott's being all Debbie Downer by bringing up Nina's dead mother.  Margo, sensing that she can draw succor from the misfortune of others, demands to know all the gory details.  My money is on death during childbirth, which has Nina secretly worried that she will share a similar fate, thus her cavalier attitude towards motherhood.

There's no telltale signs of red lips and tongue. Too bad the colorist didn't have the same interpretation of the level of wine intake, but I agree with the amount imbibed. There's a fine line they're walking here.

"Died tragically you say? Oooh! What kind of tragedy?? Fall off a cliff? Chased by wolves? Sunken ship? Quicksand? Burning building? Burning orphanage?"

Died in childbirth sounds good, but also so medieval! Girl just needed some penicillin.

Can't be death in childbirth, if Scott knew her, right? Unless Nina's mother was a teenager when she was born.
