It occurred to me that if Elly were to discover her decoy journal missing, she'd have a hissy, probably unleashing her unhinged-jaw fury at John. So I thought of April scanning it and having Mike return it before its absence could be noted. I felt this should be touched on, but wasn't able to think of a way to do so without some clunky exposition, so I decided to just go with it and have April comment on it as we might. :)

Thank goodness that Elly's memory span is about three or four minutes; that means that she'll swallow just about anything. Sadly, April didn't go quite far enough; she should have also written "Putting a proper lock on the back gate will keep those nosy people down the street from looking down at me."
Ooh, you're right, dreadecandiru2. Poor Apes, that would have been a great idea. OTOH, the poor memory span you point out might have rendered that ineffective.
As a writer I have the same problem with chunky exposition, it's like eating vegetable with your meal, you know it's good for you and you need it but it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth sometimes. You handled it very well.
Thanks, Timothy. As a huge "Buffy" fan, I can just imagine Allyson Hannigan delivering April's panel-two opening line. :)
