Season 6, Episode 3 featured Mary living the majority of her time in her dream fantasy sequence while writing her steamy romance novel. She hides out in the back office of her new job at the bowling alley with her neighbor Brenda (Melissa Peterman), avoiding her depressing reality. This tactic of avoidance also shows itself in her spontaneous passionate moments with her husband George, who, more often than not, isn’t the source of her arousal.
Lately, Mary has been much more interested in the youthful Pastor Rob (Dan Byrd) at her former church, with whom she shared more than a few intimate conversations with. This quality is seen in her fictional handsome suitor depicting how Mary’s true desire is for attentive communication and intimacy. She finds both of these in her work, which she probably doesn’t stick with, as we later see in “The Big Bang Theory.” This missed opportunity could easily turn her eyes green with envy when she learns about Beverly’s towering achievements.
Beverly is a confident multi-published author as well as a doctor in psychology, leaving Mary often feeling inadequate and inferior. It’s becoming clearer that Mary’s feelings of unfulfillment could be the root cause, especially seeing Beverly succeed where Mary couldn’t. This also could remind Mary of her moments of hopelessness in the bowling alley that later contributed to her marital problems.
