The other upside to her just walking away is Phil will forever live in paranoia that she'll change her mind and spill the beans.
Especially after he “tried to set the record straight” with his little “we just grew apart! Age difference!” And the hospital story that Phil tried to spin as “in reality we were already split up! I was just so super kind I let her use the car as a perfect gentleman!”
He’s lucky that Panda is smart enough to keep a low profile and not be even more tied to an embarrassment like him than she already is. For now anyways.
While I’d love to hear what dirt she could dish on him, I’m happy that she managed to move on and did something Phil could never hope to experience: Personal growth.
Divorce would crush his ego. Losing Leanna certainly did, imagine what losing a wife would do. He couldn't even stay married long enough for it to outlive his parents who are apparently constantly on death's door?
That said, I think a 'Divorced Pig' arc would be pretty entertaining. I don't know the details of divorce law in his state but the idea of Kat and Jasper getting the condo and DSP having to move into a tiny bachelor pad apartment somewhere sounds like sitcom gold.
In all reality he'd probably get even more unhealthy and end up hospitalized.
Can you imagine the fucking salt we’d get out of a divorce saga?!
Phil sitting and streaming in what is obviously a cheap motel room, bottles and hats behind him, raging for hours about what an absolute mentally ill shithead the divorce judge is.
It’d be enough to move the NACL prices on the world market.
And he’d of course turn it into the biggest beggathon we’ve ever seen. “
So... Alimony payment is due tomorrow and I might go to jail if I don’t pay up, so I REALLY appreciate your tips right now guys!”
*SNORT*
Thumbs at door:
“Also my mote-ehm-muh weekly rent is due on Monday so... (SIGHS) I really need that money guys! I really do! Well, enough about me! We got about half an hour left of the Emergency Marathon, so let’s play some Streetfighter!”
I don’t think Phil is smart enough to realize how much his mahture soulmaid marriage can potentially fuck him.
Aside from alimony and losing Fort Snort, Khat can at any time make ONE phone call and not just have Phil kicked out of there, but also get a restraining order from him even coming there, while Jim and Tyrone move in, and have a good hearty laugh over Phil’s weird vests and the gay little grocery cart he has, because he can’t lift a gallon of milk.
EDIT: Whether Khat could make any claim in half of the Wahkando depends on the local laws in WA. While I’m too much of a lazy faggot to look them up right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re to Phils disadvantage.
And aside from that. Phil makes five figures some (almost all) months. The alimony he’d likely pay would be substantial. Especially if he can’t get his wheelchairs to pony up thousands of dollars for a retainer for a half decent divorce attorney.
Wonder if Phil’s imaginary tax attorney also does divorce cases?
