I haven't watched today's episode yet, but Ric just died. Unexpectedly at that. People knew Baby Shamwow was fighting an uphill battle since his birth, so them being Johnny on the spot with his funeral (& TeCa's for-now exit s/l) makes some sense to me. Even if I don't give a rat's ass about the baby or the grieving mother. Now if Ric gets the Jason treatment (pretty much everything off-screen), or no one says anything this week about a future service for him, then I'll be upset.
