Original Commentary
This arc... really lasted a lot longer than I ever intended... my original plan involved a two week arc, three max. But then the monthly goal last month was not made, leaving me to try and make a once seven day a week arc work. Then, before the arc had a chance to end, the monthly goal for the next month was made (well, no, technically it wasn't made, but we're going with the bonus schedule because it was so close). originally, this arc was going to end last week with Sofia storming off in a huff with Patrick chasing after her. But in the end, the arc extended to include the cafe scenes- which were actually in the original idea for this arc (didn't make it to the first scripted draft due to the three day a week schedule). So it may have taken a lot longer to do than intended, but this arc pretty much did all I had wanted it to do.

Ok, now onto "Therapists in a plant"... whenever we go to the book store, there is always the display of mini-books/ small boxes of kits or other weird things like the Mini Zen garden (which I have to admit is pretty cool- once had one but lost the sand in the move- this was the three year ago move cross country, not this recent move) or hot stone massage kits or the therapist in a box (which consists of a some type of sand timer and some kind of therapist item- honestly I haven't looked it over too thoroughly). Miz Taylor is either too proud or cheap to buy one of those. Besides, she has a plant, a kitchen timer and glasses- what more do you really need (when drunk)? -Isabel

I wish we had done more with the therapist-in-a-plant concept. Dr. Ficus should have shown up more - Isabel
