Don't Blame Me

Cliffhanger!! Was it a proposal? Did Margo accept? The only thing we know is they both made it out alive. This sets up days to weeks of potential tension in the plot, which will probably be resolved tomorrow when Margo says something expository like "Sorry I couldn't accept your proposal, Greg, but my work means too much me! Have fun in England. Don't call."

Meanwhile, Frank has giving up on describing a gender for Tommie and has made her just a straight-up eunuch. That is the only explanation for the long sleeve, buttoned-to-the-top, disappearing and reappearing eyelashes and lips look that she's got going on.

P.S. if you didn't see reader J.R. Clarke's rendition of "Goldblazer" in the comments yesterday... well, you really should.

What is going on here??!! Is this the new normal - skip over important relevant bits of time, to leave us with cliffhangers like this? Inquiring minds what to know!

@Elaine. Yes. Shulock should care, but she just doesn't.

Clearly space-time has been destabilized by an excess of chronitons and the case of 3G are subject to ever-more frequent time skips,

Ari is ecstatic at his first job in his new career: catering.

Google search on Greek Engagement Party:

"After a couple has received the priest's blessing, the families often hold a large engagement party. The priest will sometimes attend this event and publicly bless the engagement rings. After the couple receives this public blessing, friends and family gather around, shouting out good wishes for the couple."

Ari has been cooking for days for the engagement party. Opa!

Why show when you can tell?

Whoa! What's all this, Margo! I thought we were engaged... or whatever it is which is represented by wearing a huge honkin' emerald on your right hand!!

@Ken, so you're saying it's not bad writing on the part of Margaret Shulock, but our ignorance of Greek social customs which is at fault here? Hmmmmmmmm??

Ken said...

Yes. We should spend more time studying the Greeks. Their culture, food, and swarthy women.

Nice typo in a character's title. "The Professsor: The extra S is for Sassy!"
