*frowns* Now, I wouldn't say he's been giddy. He's just... getting along.
Maybe they'll pick the post-Lisa trauma up again later, but I honestly believe the purpose of the scene was mostly to bring that story arc to a close. Maybe that's a cynical way of thinking, but in my experience, people who are not Joss Whedon or the writers of Vanished avoid having a story arc drag on for more than a handful of episodes. Then they get anxious, and do something rash as having the characters jump each other (Torchwood), shoot each other in a totally unclimactic way (SGA), get so confusing that no one gets the point anymore (X Files, Alias) or simply drop the arc without further explanation (House).
Wow. Look at that. Fandom turned me into a jaded bitch.
