Thanks, y'all! It's been a while, but it's nice to know that I've still got a little something in me, despite the crazy schedule.
Honestly, I was never convinced that Ellen was as over the top as they made her out to be in the later episodes. And, of course, people are never a certain way all the time, so this was a way to get a nice moment in for the two of them.
Again, thanks for the comments! I truly appreciate it!
