Chapter 173: Malcolm

I slipped out the back while Crew was distracted, not really wanting to talk to him right now anyway. He had things handled and there wasn't much else for me to do at this point. Instead, I went home, trying to be happy for Molly and figure out how to tell Mom she didn't have to worry about anyone seeing the episode without hurting her feelings her segment wasn't going to be used after all.

It was a catch-22, wasn't it? The indignity of being torn to shreds by a dead guy, to go through all that prep and hard work only to have her bit of the show axed. I didn't know how to feel about it so I was pretty sure Mom wouldn't either.
