Mary De La Wary

**Mary De La Wary**was a main character during the first, second, sixth, eleventh, twelfth and eighteenth seasons of ***Why, Me?***. After the conclusion of the second season, much to her dismay, she got offered her dream job (as a social worker) that forced her to move down north of the state to Ohio. After getting an off-screen call from Max, she later returned as a full-time cast member to look after Jax in Season 6. After the return of Max, she left Northdale to follow her passion of travelling. Mary was not mentioned nor seen again after the sixth season’s finale until roles reversed and Jax called upon Mary to return to Northdale in a bid to manage Max and his new co-partners’ YouTube channel. Accepting the offer, she featured throughout Season 11 and Season 12 before leaving once again to pursue another dream job of becoming a rapper in London. Once again fronting F.I.R.E. and later managing music, de la Wary returns to Northdale during Season 18 yet leaves one final time before Season 19.

## Summary

In Season 1, Mary appears to be fairly close with the gang and has to lean on Dan as she moves in with him after a “troublesome time”. She manages to pluck up the courage to find a boyfriend; which causes an unexpected twist when she reveals her true feelings and she has a disco competition with her family.

In Season 2, Mary forges her relationship with Dan after revealing she “needs someone”. She writes an angry letter to the government alongside Ariel and Jax and she helps “Northdale’s Hottest Couple” get through a family war.

In Season 6, Mary gets a shock phone call from ex-resident of Northdale, Max and he requests her return immediately. As she moves in with Jax, things are not easy. As well as going job hunting for her temporary stay in Northdale, she hosts a party for Daniel after he feels sad about missing his brother. Mary also limits the time that Ariel and Jax see each other and she has her driving license stripped. Her return is definitely bumpy.

In Season 11, Mary is unexpectedly summoned to work for the growing YouTube channel by Jax as he has some ‘favours to complete’. Mary plunges back into Northdale life very quickly as she becomes very close with most of the gang. Mary’s living arrangements soon turn awry as Jax’s new best friend, Joyce believes that Mary and Jax have ’something going on‘, and she is threatened to be kicked out by Max as tensions soar. However, when she makes up with Joyce, things start to look up for her. Managing skills are rated ten out of ten, she is seen as a star when she battles ghosts and intruders out with Keira, and her friendships grow after a shock diagnosis. At the end of the series, Mary is forced to make a life-changing decision as one move in the public eye goes horribly wrong.

In Season 12, Mary continues to cope with her Lyme Disease and this gets in the way of her annual trip home to Pennsylvania, with her friendships tightening as the gang rally round to make it her best celebration yet. Mary also takes a step back with the management of the YouTube channel as she see’s the YouTube trio being able to manage without a manager, although, she does step up when the YouTube channel is threatened with a lawsuit in New York. She backs the gang‘s pet idea, she sets a life plan out with Max regarding the YouTube channel and exits Northdale for good as she gets her big break and relocates to London.

In Season 18, Mary bounces back into Northdale which ruffles some feathers when she ‘inserts’ herself back into her lead role in F.I.R.E.. Mary moves back in with the gang and is appointed as ‘leader of the channel’ when Jo voluntarily leaves the group when the latter realizes she is under tense competition. Mary’s first decision as the re-instated leader of the channel is to hire an intern when Ryan is temporarily away, however, things turn awry and she has second thoughts about this role once again. Once Jo misses the channel too much, Mary and Jo battle it out in regards to who should be ‘leader of the channel’; Mary decides to let Jo win since Mary feels that her YouTube days ‘are over’. Things look up when she joins a label as a music director, however, her job is put on the line when a couple of the gang decide to punish one of her top clients. Mary and Jo argue once again when an olive branch turns horribly wrong but patch things up when they decide to try and understand each other. At the end of the season, Mary and Jo’s new bond is put to the ultimate test when Jo is tasked to act as Mary for a week.
