I suspect there’s a very good chance most of this scene will end up in the Scrap Draft come Monday. It’s fine, in terms of getting words down, but I feel like there’s so much more this scene could do that it just…doesn’t. It definitely needs another look to identify what it’s purpose is. However, it did bring up some fun new character details that I’m definitely going to keep moving forward, and it does underline an important element of the main characters’ relationship, so I suppose it’s not a total waste. And it fills a gap that needed filling, so we’ll let the girls in the attic have at it for the weekend, and see what they have to say about it.
