    No, Al. It is not fixed the way you think. They will just get an apartment together without getting married. They will just do the deed outside of your roof, off your property. Nothing you can do about it – like Gunther said, they’re adults. They don’t need your permission to leave the nest.

    Then again, deception is a part of the game.

    “Phoo,” is RIGHT, Irma.

    Bets may be a bit Wacky, but she does have some common sense. Her star just went UP a couple of notches, with Yours Truly.

    And Look. She hasn’t even whipped that stupid phone out yet.

    And while I’d like to think that Gunther was just bluffing….,

    Ah. Who am I kiddin’? He wasn’t. At any rate, Al just called it.

    Now, can We forget this “living together” foolishness and just have a nice quiet Christmas Dinner like Gunther wanted to do in the first darn place?

    So my guess is that Bets can stay in the main house over the holidays as I am sure Al and Irma have an extra room. I know there is a spare room in the gulag but I have a feeling Al will not offer it to keep Irma from freaking out as she obviously is going to have issues about letting “her lil Gunnie” go so this might be a decent compromise.

    The question now is whether Gunnie and Bets are technically engaged? Does Al have some wise guy connections to get Gunther a piece of ice/engagement ring rather cheap or does he go old school and remind Gunther what the jewelry stores always try to sucker people into: that a proper engagement ring has to have a value of 2 months of the man’s salary. Of course, since Gunther is not employed, that would be $0 right now! Anyhow, it will be curious as to how much control Bets and Gunther are actually going to have concerning this? Irma will want Gunnie to wait 10+ years, Al will want the kid to get his degree and start earning coin, so what does Bets want? Gunnie will probably do whatever Bets says so his opinion is secondary.

    So. What’s the time window from when Tiff was eating pancakes? She went to the dorm, everyone did strange things, she showered, Gunther saw, Bets was weird, Gunther and Bets talked about Christmas with mom, Bets asked if she could move in, they went to the Gunlag, Gunther said he wanted her forever, Les objected, Bets convinced Les, Gun and Bets went to mom’s, Al made inappropriate comments, Gunther proposed, Bets told him to stand up…. so—- we are still on the same day as pancakes? Has there been a costume change that I missed (besides Tiff, lol)

    Not for nothing but if Gunther and Leslie are living there rent free; the house is technically an extension of the bigger house so Al can dictate what happens there, or not. Now if Gunther was paying rent, it would be a different situation.

    OK, so this is gonna head back to the dorm room, and get cozy. The arc will have another moment like the one that began it, only it will be Tiff happening upon the happy couple “in flagrante delicto.” Hilarity ensues.

    This will set Tiff upon a course to win Gunther, in the coming year. She will succeed in 2023. She will then get an offer that she can’t refuse of some kind that will serve to put her back into pampered princess mode, and break Gunther’s heart. Luann to the rescue. Wedding in 2025, or so.

    Somewhere along the way, Bernice figures herself out, as do Brad & Toni.

    I’ve begun to notice that there’s more detail being packed into the dialogue of recent years. It serves as a way of accelerating the story-telling process. I shall dub it “Doonsburization.”
