smacky and bucky

In Aldo's case, it was.


Holy shit, Aldo is dead?!?

Let's back up a minute. Here's Saturday:

That's supposed to be a clever bumper sticker? Aldo probably read that on a soccer mom's SUV 5 minutes before his crash and drove off the cliff screaming "I regret NOTHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!"

Now let's move forward a day (or roughly an hour in Mary Worth time) :

Okay, they subtly show you the time. It must be 10:10 the next morning. Meaning Aldo bled to death at the bottom of the cliff all night. I hope he had the strength to finish the bottle. Why is Mary facing the camera? What a shitty actress.

So it's the cops calling Mary about Aldo's accident. Why call her?!? Did Aldo name her next of kin on a card in his wallet? "In case of emergency call Mary Freaking Worth?

The news is sad, and Mary, realizing she threw away the best thing she ever had, weeps on Toby's shoulder. Toby, on the other hand, is filled with rage for some reason:


Toby knows it's too late for tears.


I'm still holding out hope that Aldo is alive. Perhaps he joined the witness protection program and he's off to start a new life, far from the "naysayers." God speed Aldo. God speed.
