I write:

Ahhem!  If Billie and Carly would have jumped into the ring and been
beaten to bloody pulps then, they would also be part of that main story
line.  It would have given them both another reason to be on the show
even more and their on enough as it is.  I am surprised though that
Carly wasn't called and asked to rush to the ring to tend to Asstin.
Gee, TPTB missed an opportunity to have WonderDoc in the middle of yet
another stupid storyline.  That in itself is amazing.

My hubby, who tapes for me, said he got home just before the ending
of the show.  He said he roared in laughter when he walked in the door
and saw what was going on.  I still haven't viewed the tape as yet
but, he tells me I'd better be ready to laugh when I do.  Until I get
to feeling better, I guess I'd better not watch it.  It really could
be dangerous to my health :-)
