    AH! So, we’re witnessing history happening…however, I am scratching my head about Mike asking Tracey…she isn’t his type. Did he pretend that he asked Tracey and actually asked someone else? He knows Gordon likes Tracey although he’d deny it and literally flips out for Allison.

    It’s taken over his whole nose as it is. I’m pretty sure Ms. Johnston didn’t intend it that way.

    All of this over a zit? Lynn’s making this small thing into a big deal.

    Spoiler alert… Spoiler alert… Spoiler alert… Spoiler alert… Tracy and Gord get married… And they become A-1, First-Class manipulators and enablers for the Patterfoob family.

    Lynn’s Comments:

    When Gordon was roped into taking Tracey to the dance, I’d planned for them to become great friends—which is the best way to begin a romantic relationship. At the time, I had not envisioned their eventual marriage.

    Something doesn’t make sense. So many commentors on here have said this family is Canadian and they live in Canada. Yet here Mike spells favour the American way, not the Canadian spelling.

    He could just go and pretend he’s drunk with the red nose

    I wonder how Tracey feels about this? Does she not have a say? I hope Mike was smart enough to ask her first!

    I suppose it isn’t so hard to talk to a girl if it’s in the line of duty.

    This goes back to December 2020. Gordon had never been on a date. He wanted to ask Allyson, but couldn’t overcome his nerves. Mike suggested he practice with Tracey.

    I believe this is also when found out for the first time that Gordon’s parents were undependable alcoholics and his home life was far from ideal.

    That’s why the Patterson’s were eager to step in as “surrogates” and help finance his business.
