Couldn’t sleep after last night’s episode so this is what you get. I hesitate to post it because I am still very upset, but I need to share with people who will understand my down feels as I am already getting text messages (from non-Caryler friends who watch the show) congratulating Carol on her new man.

Warning: Carol and possible other.
