Original Commentary
One of the first ideas we had was for there to be an entire arc dedicated to a retelling of those two weeks from Miz Taylor's perspective. But, well, we never thought the arc would go 80 some odd comics. Even though it would not have taken another 80 comics, it wouldn't really be just a week... so instead we got the condensed version. It wasn't really all that important why she took two weeks, but why she left in the first place. She was originally just going to be gone the weekend, which was why she didn't mention this trip to anyone. Come to think of it, even if she did take a few planned days off, she wouldn't have told anyone from the company just WHY she went out in the first place. Also, the events in this arc were the reason she left in the first place. Funny how one chair can change things so. -Isabel

There was originally going to be more time between Chair Troubles and this arc; it was meant as a quick prelude. But since Isabel put this into play, the hold music pretty much had to cause Ms. Taylor to visit her father-in-law.

Anyhow, Ms. Taylor has a documented tendency to do stupid, impulsive things when she's angry. She's aware of it, and doesn't want to this time. Unfortunately, both characters are two polite to mention it. She also didn't have a chance to use the "if I raised you right" line on Kimberly, so here it is. Had to show up at least once - Terrence

Modern Commentary
"If his mother raised him right" was going to be one of Ms. Taylor's catchphrases. It showed up maybe five times. Not enough to really catch on.

Anyhow, how did Mr. Taylor know that Constance reacted poorly when she didn't get what she wanted? Well, they used to be married. That's my favorite thing about these two. She doesn't have to tell him that she yelled at the captain. He knows because he knows her. I can leave a lot unsaid when these two talk - Terrence
