We begin Phase Two of the "Connie returns home" arc with Annie being less than thrilled at the prospect.

(Strip Number 4769, Original Publication Date, 23 February 1987)

Panel 1: As Annie looks on in the background, a delighted Elly is on the phone responding to wonderful news from Connie.

Panel 2: As she sits down, Elly tells Anne Connie's wonderful news: Greg's being transferred to Milborough (in the original version, Scarborough) and thus Connie is coming back home.

Panel 3: Elly wants Annie to agree that it's great that someone she finds to be an irritant is going to be back next week to look for a house.

Panel 4: Since Elly doesn't remember that Anne doesn't much care for the basket case, she's confused by the bitter-sounding "Just great" Anne pushes past her lips.

Summary: This sort of disproves Lizzie's comment about how grown-ups don't have problems like the one she's got with Paula. This is because despite Elly's reassurances otherwise, Annie is right to see herself as being demoted to back-up friend.
