Betty is Having a BAD Day

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 17520

Oh, no! Betty thought. Not another fictional character - and from Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' books this time! Then she had another, even more unsettling, thought: Wait a minute. If I can see him, then that means...

Betty stood transfixed on the sidewalk, staring at the figure of Death only she could see. Shouldn't he be more sombre, not skipping and whistling like that? Was she cracking up, or was he really there? Then a car came round the corner too fast, and saw the stationary UPS truck too late to stop. Pulling out around it was not an option, for another vehicle was coming the other way. The driver took his only other option, and veered up onto the sidewalk, blaring his horn in a frantic effort to get the woman who was just stood there - right in his path - to move.

  1. With a Death-defying leap, Fred pushes Betty out of the way of this new monster. Death promptly vanishes.
  2. With a Death-defying leap, Astra pushes Betty out of the way of this new monster. Death promptly vanishes.
  3. From her porch, Helena sees what is about to happen, and screams: "Get out of the way!" at Betty.
  4. Nobody makes a Death-defying leap or screams a warning. Astra might have done, but as far as she was concerned, this new monster was just another of Betty's familiars.
