Not in the least; Lilly's been the focus of or has led to some of the best bits. Besides, it's difficult to be a distraction to a "plot" that's mostly a series of ongoing vignettes with different characters whose stories sometimes overlap.
I do know where you're coming from, though; the interplay between the authors is tremendously inspiring when it's on, but sometimes it just feels "off." We've been there before...it seemed to be mostly a matter of pushing through until we found some fresh inspiration.
As far as not covering a lot of common ground at the moment, we were kinda going on Ricky's story but then I put it on pause until evening :/ (Shoulda thought that over a bit more.) Luckily there's not too much that needs to happen on Sunday afternoon, so we should be able to resume that pretty quick.
