I hope you're right, but this show has hurt me so badly I can't look at the glass as half full anymore. I'm really worried he got a 2 year deal like the main cast did. But you make such a great point that he doesn't have a storyline. All he has is "Ian-adjacent" screen time.

Thanks for letting me know you like reading them!  I have a feeling even my snark abilities are going to be tested by the remaining episodes as the season careens towards the end.  I’m scared to think how bad it’s going to get, and I’m not afraid to admit that.  

😃  You know it, friend. This custom, of course, is not without risks. There was a particular incident last year in which an off-brand Hello Kitty soy sauce pack developed a tiny tear and proceeded to slowly and subtly leak soy sauce into my purse until everything was covered. That was a fun run of things. Chances are my purse still smells a little like a sushi bar. Don’t trust Hello Kitty soy sauce, kids.

Right?  Too many of us can relate.  We just can't catch a break with this ship.

Ah, redexcess, thank you for catching that!  I don't know if it's so much a freudian slip as it is a case of cut me and I bleed Gallavich-and the writers cut me to shreds last night, sigh.  I hope all the fellow Gallavich shippers are doing as well as can be expected today, and I thank you so much for letting me know about this.
