Exactly. We know she'd be able to write fine articles, maybe not brilliant ones, but fine, and she wouldn't abuse her power- She'd just make sure that they do what she thinks they should.

Yesss....especially being that there'd bound to be protests against her taking the position. Well, Mara would just be like, "Aww, but there was so many ideas I had..." Eddie would have teased her, but would have certainly supported her. Joy? Being that she'd probably take it as an assualt on her own spotlight, probably not too well. She might let it get to her for like an episode, before going on the rebound and deciding, "To heck with their complaints, I'm doing this, and we'll see what they say when all is said and done..."

And, yeah, it would have been perfect for development. Joy respects her friend more, both because she realizes just how impossible it is to have her as an enemy...and realizes her strength, and wishes she could be that epic. Patricia realizes that she just doesn't like competeting with her best friend, and even if she wants to have a little power, she can have it without trading her friends away.

Then Patricia remains in the job, but Mara is back on the paper, and Joytricia are BFFs again, and happy ending.
