A plot that illustrates the meaning behind my post involves. Right before she leaves the show she talks to Ray about feeling empty in life because she doesm't have a man. He suggests she look up her ex-husband, Mitch, which she does. It's as if finding a man, even one in which the relationship failed, is her only option. No one, not even Lucy herself, thinks since she's a young heiress, she cam do anything- start a business, study,travel the world, visit her parents and those siblings she hasn't met, etc. If Susan Howard was writing that episode would Lucy have a different exit story?
