It’s been the Summer of Shannon. Other than the brief Luann and Bernice at the park interlude, the last non-Shannon storyline was Luann’s new brand back in May.
This isn’t going to age well. “Him” in quotes is significant. The most obvious explanation is Luann misspoke when she said “him.” Added to that, Evans has a history of incorporating progressive social movements into the script (body positivity, gay relationships/marriage, Delta’s entire character). So there is more than “literally nothing” to support it.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
