Watered Plot

      I'm watching a show right now, I think it's called For The Love Of Grace. I'm trying to get into it, because I really should stay awake. But, unfortunately, it kinda...sucks. The curtains fall against the candle's flames, ignites, causes a fire. Okay, neat. Then she's pulled from the burning building. Suddenly she's out of the hospital, fully recovered - people clap as she enters the room and say, "You're your old self again!" Duh, of course she is; she was pulled from the fire five minutes ago. We heard the sirens, but there wasn't even one ambulance scene. No paramedics, no getting rushed to the hospital. Grace's fiance dropped by, but we didn't see all the other people she thanked for leaving flowers. She goes to thank the fireman who rescued her - yes, yes, fireman, because of course a simple pedestrian wouldn't do something good for someone else. No, the rescuer has to be employed to do just that. Anyway, she goes to the fire hall to rescue him, not even knowing what he looks like. But thank goodness his brother, who I guess is a fireman too, is playing catch with a football right where her anonymous lifesaver is supposed to be. But he's not.
      Oh, and while she's in the fire; there are no smudges on her skin, no ashes on her clothes, no tangles in her hair, and no sweat on her face. Then, when she is out of the hospital, walking again, inside a building that is not on fire, she's sweaty. But, when she is surrounded by leaping flames reaching a degree of, let's say, four hundred degrees; she looks cool as a cucumber. But yes, she is unconscious.
    So let me guess. With her husband away, she's going to cheat on him with this guy. Just a bigger expression of her gratitude, something that transcends paying for a meal, right? And then she doesn't know who she loves more! Oh, the agony!
      I wish I had money to put on this. But, because I don't, I'm going to go see how much more damage I can to do my book.
