WTF is going on with Edda now??? STOP IT! Sean, stop encouraging this nonsense, make her stop it!

It's getting to the point where I'm almost afraid to look at this strip.

This scare made her focus on the fact that she's spent her entire life attached to Amos, and now she's wondering whether that's really what she wants for her future, too. Seth isn't Mr. Right, he's just Mr. Right There.

McEldowney's choice

I thought this whole preganancy question was handled well. I especially liked the discussion of what "choice" means. Yes, it's improbable that someone would fly to Vienna to talk to Gram about a pregnancy without first taking a pregnancy test, but it gave everyone a chance to think about the options without talking about them in detail. Now I'm not sure what will happen with the Edda-Amos relationship. She runs away...he returns the ring...he takes back the ring, seems sure Edda is the best...she feels bad about running away...he seems uncertain again...and so on. They decided to curb their instincts...starting tomorrow. Kinda like how I diet.

Then she confesses her attraction to Seth just in time for Amos to overhear! And talks about how knowing Amos since childhood just isn't long enough to decide about marriage...

I dunno...Amos had a pretty crazy look in his eyes after he took the ring back from the store...maybe he plotting Edda's murder?
