The one where Elly keeps forgetting that April has ears.
Panel 1: The following morning, we find Elly boasting to John about today being the day she can leave April by herself at daycare.
Panel 2: When asked if she knows, Elly says that no, she doesn't. She'll just slip away quietly when April isn't paying attention because she doesn't want April (who's like three feet away from them and not hearing-impaired) to raise the same baffling fuss all of her kids make when she leaves them places.
Panel 3: When it comes time to live, April cannot be found and Elly asks Liz if she's seen her.
Panel 4: Liz explains that April slipped away quietly while Elly wasn't paying attention.
Summary: Elly has the stupid habit of assuming that children will forget things she'd prefer be forgotten. This leads April to a river bank in a few years.
