My vote would be for some kind of shenanigan involving Showbiz bedding Molly by posing as his not-quite-twin brother, somehow, such as happens with twins in bad soap operas and so forth.

The whole "you cheated on me!" "I thought he was you!" thing.

I think this strip could figure out a new direction to go with that old trope.

I'm weird, of course.

.. I mean, Molly threw that 13 dollar bar of soap away because of a hair from Showbiz. I really cannot see it happening.

Then again, I also have The Molly/Beef Wedding Not Reaching Completion at even money.

If wrestling has taught us nothing else it's that a heel turn during a wedding makes the newly evil character way more popular. Therefore during the ceremony it will be revealed that T and Molly got drunk and eloped the night before, but Molly was so drunk she doesn't even remember doing it. Teodor refuses to get the marriage annulled and eventually starts to turn Molly over to his evil ways.

Something just occurred to me.

The wedding is scheduled for July 5. 

A Saturday. 

During a holiday weekend. 

Great time for a wedding; terrible time for a strip. 

What are the odds we're going to actually get to see the wedding?  Is Onstad going to post a special weekend strip?  Are we going to see it in flashback on Monday?  Will it just be alluded to as things continue like normal? 

Damn you, Onstad, for making us care.

We're all getting psyched for this multi-strip wedding arc but it would not be entirely out of character for Onstad to just cut straight to the aftermath. Or the after-aftermath.
