*g* Oh yeah, I've got no use for Marissa, so I sent her on down the road quickly. ;-) I'm glad it worked. I was afraid the wave thing was too over the top.
Poor Sandy. Having Jimmy constantly pining for Kirsten would just annoy the heck out of me, and even if Sandy didn't know the full extent of just how much Marissa put him through, he knows enough.
I envision Kirsten feeling anxious to reassure both herself and the boys that things will be okay. Being in rehab, I've no doubt she also got the opportunity to see fellow alcoholics who've lost their families, and I imagine she'd be more appreciative of what she has when she returns.
I definitely see Kirsten realizing that they aren't equipped to help Ryan, and acting accordingly. Let's face it, she may have faced some emotional abuse in terms of rejection, but none of the Cohens can hold a candle to the abuse and neglect Ryan has endured.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It got fluffier than I anticipated. *g* I love when you refer to specific passages to explain what you liked. Thank you so much for letting me know!
