Mac imagines:

Felicia: "Being away from you, I've realized that I want you. I want our marriage. I want us the way we used to be."
Mac: "Are you sure?"
Felicia: "I've been so wrong. I love you, never Luke. I've made so many mistakes. Can you ever forgive me?"
Mac: "Yes."

The reality:

Felicia: "Mac, where do we go from here?"

Felicia: "And I just can't do this anymore."
Mac: "Do what, Felicia?"
Felicia: "Rattle on about the girls when all I really want to do is just tell you how much I miss you."

Felicia: "I think maybe we could just take it one day at a time, don't you?"
Mac: "I'd like that."

Amy: "So in the new SID Guza says flat out that Mac and Felicia will now work their way back to each other (was there ever a doubt? And people thought it was a forever kind of thing--more like short arc, people.) The tease is whether or not Luke and Laura will get back together, or whether she'll be attracted to Scotty.

I have to say, Hello, L&L were always going to be back together, eventually. Guza always said so, and he's given me no reason not to believe him. The arc with Stefan was to be a long one, and it was, and now there's been a short arc with Felicia and perhaps one about Scotty. I don't know if I can stand another round of people complaining about the writing who assume that what's going on now is the end point of anything.

Meanwhile, the part of the tease that pisses me off is that Luke will have to choose, they say, between Flea and Laura. HELLO, the man's made all the choices so far! When is Laura going to have to make that damn choice I keep wanting her to make? She realized she was at least partly delusional where Stefan was concerned (he was never all sweetness and light, though she seemed to think so there at the end), and now she's just as delusional about everything going right back to the way it was with Luke and Lucky, because Stefan fell through the bottom, etc.

I do think that she's realized what she wants--that she's decided that she wants Luke back. But she never really made a choice about Stefan. Not really. I know that's probably because she never really chose to move away from Luke, and maybe that's what we were supposed to see. But the Stefan stuff--both getting together and breaking up--was too circumstantial--too based in what was going on around them, rather than in them."

Arda: "Did you mean you want Laura to make a damn choice?

Amy: "Um....YA! *G*"
