Janis: Do you see a pattern? A lack of follow-through in Gene? Arlo: Well, he IS going back to school! Janis: He's not telling us everything! He's being very cryptic! Arlo: I'm amazed he's told as much as he has! Janis: I was expecting to hear wedding plans! Arlo: At any rate, here we are... Arlo: Two old people living precariously through their children!
Hey, Janis didn’t want him to drop out of school or get so serious so fast…but he DID.He gave Mary Lou a family ring, invested in a house with her, and he’s been letting Meg call him “Dad,” and think of Arlo and Janis as future grandparentsIt’s not that she isn’t glad he’s going to finish school, but she wonders about his commitment and his resolve…She’s his mother!She knows, too, that he’s had an off and on crush on Mary Lou since he was a kid …. albeit with a long period in which he didn’t see her.
She doesn’t like to see him running away from problems.He’s given no indication Mary Lou is OK with his plans, although he did state cryptically they hadn’t completely changed…How can she help wondering whether she’ll lose Mary Lou and Meg, of whom she’s grown very fond.
