Previously on Willow Creek.... Lanie's been have a really good year, all things considered. Could it be something in the McKenna drinking water??? She's started "seeing" Noah Knight (dating?) and all of her siblings are back in town and living nearby. She's made new friends. She's got a good job (even if it can't be called a career). She had an epic 25th birthday party less than two months ago, and she just got back from quite the adventurous road trip. (Well, maybe it was more adventurous for her and Noah…) Life is good.
Plots, Lines, and Threads for July: Who doesn't love the 4th of July? Better question: Who doesn't love tiny bikinis and fireworks? Lanie would be all over this. In fact, July was probably set to be a stellar month for Lanie, until the full moon. After that, it was like hitting rock bottom. (Sorry, Abbie.) The second half of the month, Lanie won't be leaving Jake's side for any significant amount of time. If you come to see Jake, don't mind her. But don't expect her to leave for your sake, either. The only ones to get her to leave long enough to eat or shower would probably be her parents, Lance, and Noah.
Plotting Wishlist (General): Moar Lanie and Noah, because I love them? Duh. More Lanie and Jesse leading up to his taking her blood, and after. Fallout from the truth about the Damianis coming out. Lanie and Lance need a scene, like, NOW. ;D Lanie and Ryan? (We should figure out how long they dated, and when...) And I'd be up for Lanie/Shanna, Lanie/Rachel, more Lanie/Eddie therapy, Lanie/any customers at Hammer & Gin. And hey, since Lucas is Lance's BFF, he's GOT to know Lanie too.
