And true to her word, Iris seeks advice from Mary, who could not be more disinterested…
Some folks have asked, “Doesn’t Mary look a little…odd?” Truth will out!
Still our Mary forges on…those triangle pastries ares fortifying!
Meanwhile, holiday preparations race ahead!!
Back to the matters at hand…
Of course, what happens when you get home is something else entirely!
But…he seems so wholesome!
And HOW to avoid the fallout from a feeding frenzy:
…he’s positively to fetal for you!
It can’t get worse, can it?
Oh, yeah, but Iris is determined to look for a silver lining…
Having given Zak enough rope to hang himself, Iris leaves…
What?!?? Zak isn’t all hot to call Iris after class??
Getting ready to go out…
Oh, boy…the tension builds!
And THEN…
(There were scads of great tributes to Charles Schulz on his 100th birthday, November 26…Mary Worth was hardly one of them.)
Judge Parker (or his ilk) were too busy investigating bad guys to wish anyone a Happy 100th (the bastages)…
After a barrage of bullets and a crapload of corpses, Sam and Gloria leave the lake house and speculate on Who Might Be Responsible!
Sam figures it’s time to pay a visit to Abby. I’m sure she’ll be sooooooooo happy…
And adding a little “Archer” to the mix..
Ooooh…maybe Sam and Abby will get back together!
And then the bad guy shows up (and he’s a judge, even!) Normally, I wouldn’t give Sophie the brains God gave a goose, but….
And the asshole Judge is still alive…they have a plan, though.
Ladies and gentlemen, this way to the denouement….
Your so good….taking the boy to the cemetery to visit his kin…
At least things appear to be getting back to normal…
Admittedly, he sets a pretty low bar…
Our favorite fourth-born child…
Meanwhile, Jeffy tries to reason with Thel…
You know…there’s no such thing as mistletoe-berry pie. Or tarts. Or cobbler. Or jam.
So close to the Big Day!
I don’t know if this is more appropriate for the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023…
It’s January 4…and all of Dolly’s gifts haven’t been DESTROYED yet?!??
Wedding plans begin apace!
Even then, Mary daydreams, or hallucinates, or something…
Meanwhile, what’s our bride Iris up to?
Where’s Iris? Still on her way to college, it seems.
And to think, Mary is really, truly back! Dreams DO come true!
There might be dangers at every turn, Mary…be strong!
And now Mary gets to hear the rehash of “Zak ‘n’ Iris at Waydown Falls.” O joy.
Still, Mary feels obliged to help…
Thank heavens for the weekend…
