    Oh, thank heavens Luann threw the boomerang pendant at Quill. That “you’ll come back” was probably the most arrogantly wrong thing for him to say under the circumstances.

    And the look on his face as it came flying in his direction is priceless.

    @Three Steps Over Japan-Could not use ‘reply’ button

    Just a little point of interest: the phrase ‘get thee to a nunnery’ was said by Hamlet (in Shakespeare’s play) to Ophelia, who loved him and was supposed to marry him. He took out his anger at his mother (the recently widowed queen who married the brother of the late King, Hamlet’s father, on Ophelia. She then killed herself.

    In Shakespeare’s time, a nunnery was not just a building for Women Religious who intended to devote their lives to either the study of the Creator, or to taking care of needy humans. The word was also used as the name of a building more commonly called a brothel.

    Did you mean ‘convent’?

    When men feel hurt they do tend to say hurtful, arrogant things. That much is actually realistic. I hope this motivates Luann to do something wild and adventurous—like maybe use those tickets and reservations! (Why do I get the feeling that her Mom will volunteer to use the extras?)

    -I thought Quill’s reaction in the second frame, with his drawn down eyebrows, was anger, not surprise. And then saying ’You’ll come back’ was not so much the best he could do, but rather a kind of knee-jerk Trump-like insult, born of the fact that Quill is a perpetual ‘winner’ (at least in his own mind), and no one ever turns him down. He does the turning down, as he did with Tiffany.

    His reaction to the return of the necklace, with raised eyebrows, did look like shock and surprise to me…

    If this is all the same day, only a few moments before Luann was humbly apologizing to Quill for being kinda difficult and said: “But I also know that being mad at you isn’t the answer.”.And she had in her possession a valentine with the tickets and a hotel room reservation. .Every one of his responses was impolite. He had no valentine. Perhaps Gunther, that expert on such matters, had convinced him that he had no need for Luann. .Yet he seemed to expect her to crawl to him..Tomorrow we may see him complaining to Gunther about how dumb females are.

    I think we all know that Quill will hurt, too. But, Luann is a mill stone around his neck at this stage of his life. He has to be free to pursue his goal, a goal that could very well include going on the road. As I’ve heard, “a man can’t serve two masters” and Quill can’t be Luann’s puppet, he’d always resent her for it.

    -Actually, that talk with Gunther was, I thought, very insightful and productive. Gunther basically pointed out to him that, while he (Quill) had ‘tons’ in common with Pru, maybe he didn’t have the same amount of things in common with Luann.

    Because he is trying to determine in his mind whether a breakup is really happening. She has the unmitigated gall to leave him, only because she does not understand his needs. which is the problem really. His needs. Not really hers. SHe has them, but his needs are more important than hers. So its not “logical” to him in his frame of reference.

    Finally! In Quill’s mind they were probably on a break—since they had a fight and no discussion had happened. If he had planned for Valentine’s Day, then he would have had to apologize and maybe he wasn’t sure what the whole fight was about, how much he was into the relationship, etc. I don’t think the “You’ll be back” was characteristic of Quill and was just a lead up to the final panel. Her throwing it at him was childish to me, again. I sorely hope this is all over.

    Have to agree a bit with @implausible, Quill does seems to have become a bit nastier lately.or is it true colors coming out under stress?

    Hard to do at this age, but Luann can learn a lot working on her life without a “steady”. Date guys, sure. But enjoy being single and checking out NYC with a friend, who can share the costs.

    Well, that seems pretty definitive.Is Luann really going to “get a life” now, or will she go home, or to Bernice, and wallow in self-pity over her “lost” boyfriend?And will Quill remain for long in Pitts now that Luann has dumped him? Or will he be off to New York City, or even back to Australia? Will we see much of him in the future? Will there be some kind of reconciliation, possibly promoted by some combination of Dez, Bernice, and other well-meaning interlopers?

    Looks official. The question Quill needs to ask himself is why did he treat Luann so poorly? Teenage love goes through a lot of ups and downs. Breaking up will do both good because they can figure out what they want out of their lives and work towards their goals. Quill and Luann, please find yourselves and best wishes!

    Who knows? Maybe he will realize how much he DOES care and they will go to NY after all. He definitely took for granted that she would be around whenever he had nothing better to do. Again, glad SHE dumped HIM and not the other way around. Now let’s see him and Pru together and see where that goes. Especially with Pru in Luann’s house. I still think the DeGroots were insensitive to Luann to allow Pru to stay with them.

    Will Q turn to Pru for solace? Will Pru try to talk to Lu and get Q and Lu back together? Or will Q and Pru "exit stage right even " and ride off to New York together? Stay tune for more of " As the Boomerang Flies".

    But seriously folks , I would like to have team Evans seize the opportunity to have Luann truly grow up a little and find a new direction, other than just finding a BF or whining about not having a BF. and see what some other pairings would do. I do want to find out more about Tiffany, Piro and Dez’s backstory and I think it would be awesome if Mrs B. Mr Gray got engaged or married. Gunther would have learn to share his mother with someone else. it would help him grow up a s well.

    So, now the real drama begins. How are they going to handle Lu and Pru being in the same house, especially if Q has to drop by to work with Pru on theater matters… that or other things…. ;-P

    I was about to say that I hope this encourages Lu to transfer to Moony and live on campus with Bern, Dez, etc., but that may mean bumping into Quill on occasion. We’ll have to see how that works out.

    Unfortunately for us, this decision has legs. Quill will pack up and move to New York (where he always wanted to be), leaving The Fuse completely unattended. This will cause L to feel guilty over the effect on her folks, etc, etc.

    Wow, Quill’s little parting shot was extremely below-the-belt, not to mention waaaay out of character for him. It’s like Team Evans was making a last-ditch effort to make him the undisputed bad guy here, like when the author of Twilight realized people preferred Jacob over Edward and so had him suddenly start acting terrible towards Bella so he’d lose reader sympathy.(don’t judge me just because I know the storyline for those books)

    But anyway, since he said it, I’m very pleased with Luann’s response. Now it’s her time to go out and find the fulfillment she’s been lacking. I hope she keeps this momentum going.

    5Interesting. Not my favorite panels this week by a long shot. I am hopeful the breakup sticks and is maintained. But, I still feel inside that now we will enter the next phase where Quill will “realize the errors of his ways” and the two of them will patch things up.I think in today’s effort that Quill’s comment, “You’ll come back!” is arrogant, insensitive, and rude. To me, it feels not the real sort of response I would have anticipated from Quill. He has been portrayed more level-headed previously. I guess it could be a momentary lapse of rudeness, but it just rings rather false to me.Less arrogant of a statement, still getting the point across that Quill was upset too would have been “Ok, Fine! Do that!” or something else having Quill sound less like he was so arrogant (he has never been portrayed as arrogant before, so that is why it feels “false” to me, I guess).

    What I would love to see happen is Luann take the trip to NY by herself to maybe meet up with Delta. While on the plane ride hom she meets a cute guy who just came from visiting family in NY as well. They chat, make nice and then get off the plane at the airport where we run into a jealous Quill who was hoping to “win” Luann back with a large romantic gesture only to misinterpret the relationship between her and the guy she met. I’m not saying she starts dating the guy but it would be nice to see Quill feel insecure for once.

    Quill has done nothing wrong. Luann cut off communication by acting like snot and refusing to say what is wrong. That is someone trying to create a doghouse. Quill just continued to live his life. There is a difference between liking and needing. Luann used Quill for validation when Quill chose her over Tiffany. Both Quill and Luann made the right decision for the moment.

    Not Very Quill-like for him to say “You’ll come back”. I’m guessing the Evans wanted to show that he was frustrated, but that was a bit out of character. Anyhow, I just hope this leads to a new arc, as this is just so dumb that is it not enjoyable in any way. Quill is trying to get a career going and Luann is immature. Got it. Next.

    Imp: Your listing of the portrayal of the various artsy characters is fun and interesting! Now, if we were to ad in some traditonal Freudian psychology…. would the portrayal pattern you see suggest Greg may not like himself? :)Now, before others get all bent out of shape… I am not really suggesting that… I am using the basic academic concepts from that theory. It was meant in jest or in fun. I like Greg and I like Greg’s efforts. I do not think he has self loathing, nor do I suggest psychoanalytic theory is at the cutting edge of psychological understanding. It was a joke!Put that in your pipe and smoke it. :) ~u/

    There have been exceptions with aspects of the characters, and with some others who have talent, but you make a very interesting point to think about. Given the authors’ own experience with such fields might they find it a bit easier or safer to laugh about people who remind them of themselves and people close to them?

    How about this: Quill complains to Gunther that Luann refused to allow him to be himself, and Gunther suddenly thinks “That’s what I did to Rosa!” So he hops the first flight to Peru.

    Meanwhile, as Luann is trying to figure out how to kick start her new life, she gets a text from Rosa. Rosa, as it turns out, is in New York with her mother, because the rich uncle has decided to pay Rosa’s way through NYU medical school’s research program to find a cure for that new virus sweeping through Brazil.

    But first, Rosa and her mother want to do some good ole sight seeing in New York and want to invite Luann and her mom to join them.

    Gunther arrives in Peru, where he finds no Rosa, but a job in IT at the uncle’s plastic surgery clinic. And lots of admiring ladies…

    A lot of objections to my suggestion that Quill could celebrate with Tiffany. Personally, I think that if Rosa doesn’t come back, Gunther and Tiff might develop something. I have a feeling that they actually need each other, but don’t realize it yet. In the meantime, Tiff is the best looking and most sexy girl in the stable and would be a real boost for Quill’s sagging ego. I know that if I was in his position, having coffee at Starbucks with Reese Witherspoon would lift my spirits.
