Don't Sugarcoat It

Claire, this is Tommie you're talking to. Tommie Thompson. You know she can take it! This is her house, Claire! Don't mess with Tommie, or you're in for a world of hurt! Tommie doesn't play by the rules, she makes them up as she goes. She takes her purse wherever she pleases, she has no regard for your cubbies! And she doesn't wear your old timey starched hats, either!

Next of kin?? The reappearance of Bobbie the Bobble Merrill?? Yes please!

We're going from saying she's going to be fine to "notify her next of kin"? What's next, asking if she has a Living Will? Would Margo survive in an iron lung?

"It's me, Claire, don't sugarcoat it! Does she need a midwife? You can tell me!"

So, I guess Ari is still in the burning building. What a shame, it's not even Christmas yet!

"It's me Claire, don't sugarcoat it!"
"OK Tommie, when you think of Margo's brain, think of a head of steamed cauliflower without the Hollandaise sauce. Hmmm, I wonder what today's special is at the cafeteria?"

Next of kin? I have power of attorney. Pull the plug.

But she's breathing on her own.

Is there a spare pillow?

If Margo is burned, it must've happened on the way to the hospital or in the hospital. Unless her entire dorsal area was burned and Greg was holding her especially to hide that fact.

"We're looking for a good outcome."

"Come on, don't sugarcoat it!"

"Ok, she has maybe 24 hours to live give or take. Each hour she will get progressively worse, each minute more painful and agonizing than the last. Her breathing will become to labored to the point where she is desperately gasping, her chest in searing pain from what seems to her like sucking air through a thin straw. Her brain begins to shut down and Margo experiences not only physical but mental and emotional trauma. Her battered body slowly deteriorates enough to succumb to the sweet release of death. This will be extremely fleeting of course, because you know Margo is going straight to the deepest pit of Hades where she will suffer exquisite and supreme torture for the rest of eternity."

"Thanks for being honest, Claire!"
