There's no way John would let her go off with his kid....well, unless they had an arrangement whereby he saw it once a week or something, like people often do when they split up and there's a child involved. But that would involve them having a breakup, like, a normal breakup, rather than Mary dying.

What if she gets deported?

Your way of dealing with helped me a lot, BTW. (Please mentally insert heart smiley here, I can't because I am writing this post on my mobile.)
Your long meta about Mary made me realize what had bothered me. It made me re-evaluate what I think of Mary, and now I'm very comfortable with my opinion of her. (Insert slightly evil grinning smiley here.)

Thank you so much, dear.

Back to the article itself.... the writer described Ben as 'lissome.'

"The lissome actor..."

What a lovely word for his special grace and beauty!

I prefer 1 and 2 for being standalone with fuller case investigation though 3 has its merits it feels to me like we have had one half of the story. The only times a villain has been introduced is when they haven't been shown to be the big baddie - either it's a bait and switch with Mary being introduced as the big bad or we've got half a story. I want to know what the word Guardian means and if it isn't a red herring who she guards is, hopefully, John but I would like to have done with John living away from 221B.
