The Lockhorns, 1/16/26

I accept that, for narrative convenience, sometimes the Lockhorns need to passive-aggressively try to destroy each other emotionally with some silent stranger there for one of them to rhetorically address. However, in this scenario, Leroy appears to be standing on a yoga mat wearing workout gear and Loretta is standing within earshot in street clothes, which makes it difficult to parse where this void might be situated so that those two facts dovetail with the possibility of some random person wandering by in order for Loretta to quip at her for Leroy's benefit. You have to assume that Loretta got tired of just walking around the house with that first aid kit and demanded that Leroy accompany her to the sidewalk in front of their house so that they could involve a nonconsenting third party in their kink.
