Absolutely. It’s absolutely irritating when you drive 30 minutes to get to your doctor, only to have him see you for 5 minutes. One doctor I had admitted as much. The irony? The same thing happened to him whenever he had to see one.
Prediction: They’re going to tell Jonah it can’t be done. Shannon will be upset. Everyone’s relationships with each other will be strained. Brad and Toni, at the last minute, will change their minds and Shannon will be allowed to stay as long as she wants. Then, something happens to Jonah, and Shannon has nowhere else to go, so….
There’s an unfortunate possibility — Jonah dies and Brad and Toni adopt Shannon out of family obligation (and love). This arc could be a distant lead-in.
Boy, this strip could be walking a fine line here, politically. Hopefully it’s not going to fizzle out like the last time with our now-departed “lesbian thespian.” Or worse: It pulls the “it was all a dream” cliche out of the dusty drawer. (In that case, at least let it be someone else’s dream, like T.J., who might secretly be worried that his days as resident cook may be numbered.)
