So this is something that's been rocking around my head since the hallucination episode. I've got another chapter that plays on the mid-season finale.
My grandmother's ring. That was the final straw. Well, if I say the final straw that sounds like I'm going to go ballistic on her, but this just made me curious. Ever since Founder's Day, Jo Lupo had been different.
Not a bad different, like I loved getting my butt whipped verbally everyday by Jo Lupo, but a different, different. If that makes any sense. She was softer, crazier. I would sometimes catch her looking at me with this wistful stare, as if she was on nostalgia pills or something.
Not that there was anything she could be nostalgic about with me, unless she was still the hard-ass she'd always been. But she was different. She kept me from getting shipped off to prison, and would randomly check up on me. Not that I liked being watched- I felt like an eleven-year-old who'd recently exchanged his sister's shampoo for tar, or something. Like I'd go the next step of criminal advancement and stab someone.
But I behaved myself. I don't know why I did- it's not like I'd ever changed before, or if I had anything to change for. I did as I was told, and followed all the rules. A first for me, right?
But something had changed. She and Fargo were suddenly close, like they had been buddies all their lives. Any day BFD (before Founder's Day), they would go out of their way to avoid each other. And Allison and Carter? They were all romantical (no, it's not a word… just because I'm a physicist doesn't mean I don't make up words). They sat around at Café Diem with coffee, laughing and chatting. That NEVER used to happen!
In general, Founder's Day screwed up a lot of things. And I was nuts if I wasn't going to figure out why.
Thanks to everyone who reads... even more to all who review. This has been the worst plot twist of any Eureka Season yet, and I am so glad its on the mend.
Read and Review, Please!
