But what about the rest of the gang? No way they came just to be dropped from the plot, I bet they’re gonna be the audience to a Vegas wedding with Michaela as the flowergirl!(I’d have said Gabby but Michaela is the first-born, she’s got her birthright you know)
Hubbs knows the truth. After he gets over his passing out, what will he do next? I think he will see the sincereness of Ellie and start to get to know her. What a great storyline!
I’m reminded of Star Trek TOS where the crew causes robots to self destruct through the use of illogical antics.
Poor Hubbs being forcibly reminded of how dense he’s been this entire time begins to shut down because of surprise and shock. However his feelings for Ellie give him enough strength to hold on long enough to express his feelings for her before succumbing to the overload of emotional confusion.
Had a lot of fun and a little frustration with this tangle they were in. Stretched out long enough to be plausible with a welcome ending. At least I hope so since we have yet to see where things go from here. But being the cynically cold romantic I am, yah I’m a contrary mess, I have hope these two will enjoy a time together. How long depends on them, or Bea of course. Hoping these two the best, hope Ellie rounds Hank out like he needs to be and hope Hank gives Ellie everything she’s looking for.
Thanks Bea for not dragging this out to the point of ridiculousness which would turn Hubbs into a dimwit thicker than collapsed neutronium. Too many stories had that shtick incorporated into it and ended up focusing on that as their only point of humor.
And Hubbs had a heart attack and died, the end. Ellie never remarried but started fostering homeless cats. And once a year on the anniversary of Hubbs’ death she whispered this prayer: “Hubbs, you dope.”
On a vastly exaggerated scale, this reminds me of the relationship between Rose and Gregory in The Mirror Has Two Faces. (Gregory was simply a klutz around women he was attracted to.)
Observation by One who has Attained the Perspective of Great Age: Okay, yesterday’s breakthrough moment made me think about what this story arc would have been like when newspapers ruled and kids learned to read through the comic pages rather than school.
First off, Hubbs living with his mother would not be thought at all strange, nor would his obsession with sports and his disinterest in girls because of it.
Ellie, however, could never have existed back then, especially with her own house minus roommates/co-conspirators. She could never have worked as a Hooters-style waitress in a place like Chix ‘n’ Wings. Never ever.
Her freestyle dating (and sex?) life would have been unthinkable. Even independent female characters —Brenda Starr, Winnie Winkle had to be older and all but nuns in their social lives. Young women were cast from the same mold as Betty and Veronica.
Disguise as a boy would have been acceptable, usually with the encouragement, co-ordination and support of those roommate/co-conspirators.
Going unchaperoned to Sin City? HA! It would have marked her as a tramp, no ifs or buts. Her friends— although envious at heart, perhaps— would never be seen with her again. She would have to wear a big A monogrammed on her outer garments.
This has been a simple comparison, not at all censorious. I much prefer the freedom today’s girls/women have, cartoon or otherwise.
That said, I would have chosen a different conclusion, had I my druthers. Ellie need not have descended into the depths of carnality, lewdness personified. Sexy, sure, but virginal Daisy May rather than Stupefyin’ Jones, the walking aphrodisiac. (Google ’em, youngsters)
And back when, the ending would have been a marriage proposal, of course. Touching, sweet— the culmination of a long pursuit utterly unnoticed by the male character who would think it was his own idea.
Thank you for your attention. Now for a nice gin and Geritol cocktail.
I have read this from the beginning, and this arc maybe twice. I have kept quiet about it until now. THIS IS GREAT. THANKS BEA. WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!!!

All he needs is a big bottle of Gatorade…, and to catch a good close up whiff of Ellie’s pheromones. He’s gonna be alright, isn’t he, Bea?
