I was kinda hoping Phyllis would finally wise up and leave Ronald. I was all set to make a Grinch reference about how “her spine grew three sizes that day.”
In the rpg supplement GURPS Aliens, there is a race called the Truul. They were genetically engineered to be a slave race. They have pretty much no sense of agency and are distressed unless being told what to do. They will happily do dangerous labor jobs, like mining radioactive ores, just to be fulfilled by a sense of purpose. Religious people often remind me of them.
I was hoping that Phillys would get disappointed with Ronald, and start to relearn how to live from Joce and Vicky and the other moms…
She was quite negligent because of Ronald, but I didn’t see her as a bad person to deserve such an end…
WELP, so much for Phyllis getting a redemption arc. When you base your entire sense of self-worth on being obedient and subservient to others, the idea of true independence must be absolutely terrifying.
@Alex D.: Apparently, there will be no main villain next year as JB has stated on the Discord page that he will center the story on the core six moving from high school to college.
I remember when the first series was rebooted because it got too maudlin. And here we are again, with lives being ruined. Will this lead to another reboot?
While this is disappointing, it isn’t unrealistic. Well… THAT unrealistic. The news is horrifyingly full of spouses and domsetic partners who stick by their abusers, because that’s all they know. And a hell they know is less scary Evertything Else, no matter how many friends and family are telling them to come to them for help.
I’d hate to have Phyilis written off, but sadly, it happens.
Though I’m a bit disappointed to see Phylis lose it, and not even apologize to her daughter, I’m happy Jocelyn is finally free of her horrible parents for the foreseeable future.
The heroes have eliminated another recurring villain. And we’re running low on them too. I wonder who else they will face next?
I’m really hoping Ronald pushes Phyllis out of the car before it takes off to prove that he doesn’t care about her or even want her now. That woman really needs to have some sense knocked into her, quite literally, in this case, because if she hasn’t already gone off the deep end at this point, then she’s very, very darn close.
Welp, if ever in the future Jocelyn and Steve have any kids of their own, they’re not meeting either Phyllis or Ronald. Ever. Phyllis is confirmed to be too far gone to recover. A shame, too.

@Superior Gorilla: What is JB Warner’s discord?

@FireballDragon: My thoughts exactly.

*sighs* She can’t be bargained with. She’s too co-dependent on Ron to ever change. If Ron turns on her again, she’ll probably k*** herself. Sad…

@Drew59: I sincerely hope not.
Ronald and Phyllis deserve each other.

Gumball: Well, that got out of hand quickly.

Okay, first, the ER for Ronald, and then a mental health facility for Phyllis.
Well this is sad to see. I was really hoping Phyllis would’ve come to her senses.
On the plus side, that’s the last we’ll be seeing of either of them for a long time.
Poor Vicky, she really tried to get through to her sister.

Well that was depressing
You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to help themselves.
Phyllis should be in an asylum.
Also, I love how her speech bubbles’ lines become progressively messier and wigglier with each panel.
A Christnut to the very end. Talk about being a doormat.
Ahh, mommy issues. That would explain some shit.
She’s too far gone. Pity.
But only just.
Well, she’s gone nuts.
She’s NUTS. Period.
I can’t tell if even Ronald’s sick of Phyllis’ shit or if he’s losing consciousness… or both.
