But Luann’s behavior is inextricable from the plot line. I don’t want so much focus on Tara that the writing team conveniently leaves Luann’s lose ends unresolved and hustles us on to the next arc.
Well, um, yeah Mom. We were in your place of business in the middle of the night. Uh, yeah. Keys? How did I get the keys, Dad? Um, no, I’m not an employee and I don’t close the place. And what was Tara doing here? And what’s that Bernice is saying about letting Tara crash here by herself? What? How did Tara access the place by herself unless she had the keys? Oh, and the money missing from the cash drawer?
Once the dust settles from the Tara hit-and-run, Luann is going to have some ‘splaining to do herself. Why were she and her friends inside the Fuse after hours, when none of them are employees? Why did she leave the back door open so the thief could simple walk right in? Why did Luann have a key in the first place? Why did she turn over the key to Tara and tell her she could stay at the Fuse overnight unsupervised with free access to anything not locked down? I hope Luann does not use Tara’s accident to cover up her own indiscretions.
Yes, Bernice said she was calling 911, although we never saw any follow-up of her talking to the dispatcher. Of course this would be playing out in a matter of seconds in real time (depending on how long Tara and Stella’s quarrel lasted), so this could be the same phone call.
Interesting color work on Luann’s blouse.
