The one where we get more crap about how April's only talent is wrecking Elly's life.
Panel 1: Later that day, Elly starts wailing about how Annie's cruelty and selfishness means that now, she has to put April in day care which she has never been in before. Why, she'll have to deal with April faking fearing her never come back again like all the other disappointing children did beforehand.
Panel 2: John thinks that it's probably for the best because April needs to be near other children so she can learn that strangers want to use family politics to enslave the Patterson family.
Panel 3: Also, she needs an environment where she can learn new things like arts and crafts. Elly sets up the kid-antagonistic punchline by asking if he thinks so.
Panel 4: We contrast her smearing Farley's food on the wall because she's under-supervised and under-stimulated with John saying that she could have artistic talent they don't know about.
Summary: Lynn and Elly would have us whine that April's only talent is making a mess and thus more work for her. I do a really cruel and selfish thing called 'thinking' that makes me call bullshit on that because I'm not some jerk whining that having to actually raise the child I've brought in the world means being enslaved by that child.
