Kyle’s mom is late and doesn’t take off her jacket, just wipes her feet on the mat so she won’t track up the kitchen floor. Tosses her keys and her purse on the counter and shoulders around the corner into the living room, giving the coffee table a little hipshake, scoots down the hall past her twin in the mirror and swings into the TV room. The clickers are on the ottoman. She palms them and spins, drops her bottom onto the couch as she’s firing—doing a two-fisted John Woo fadeaway. ON, CHANNEL, VOLUME. The box responds, and she’s not late, she hasn’t missed it, she’s there as Blair peels off her top to put the moves on Max. The scene cuts strategically in the middle and the theme music comes up, comforting as a lullaby, the stars’ windswept credits reassuring as a family album. She’s back in Llanview, and we’re nowhere —like the song says—because we only have One Life to Live.
