I think Phix is going to catch up with her (probably Thursday or Friday). Nudge will be pinned down, with Phix about to deliver the coup de grâce. I see probably one of four things happening;
1) Nudge will say something she has been saving which will take the wind out of Phix's sails.
Heh. There's a (rightfully) little-known film called
The Cockeyed Cowboys of Calico County*. which features Dan Blocker as a blacksmith, and Mickey Rooney as Indian Tom, the town drunk, his buddy.
Anyway, Indian Tom is teasing his Charley, the town blacksmith, one of those big guys who never gets mad because he's a genuinely nice guy
and nobody messes with him, about a particularly humiliating incident that took place in front of the entire town.
Charley says nothing and just keeps walking, until Tom says one thing too many ... and then picks Tom up by his shirtfront and draws back a fist.
First we see a shot up that long arm, past that angry face, way way back to where that cannonball-size fist is cocked and ready.
Then we get the reverse angle, from Charley's point of view, down the arm, into Tom's face above the bunched-up shirtfront, and all Tom can say is "Ooooh, Charley, that's gonna
hurt..."
At which point Charley snaps out of it...

*Which i still love dearly, anyway. Consider this cast: Dan Blocker, Nanette Fabray, Jim Backus, Wally Cox, Jack Elam, Henry Jones, Stubby Kaye, Mickey Rooney, Noah Beery Jr., Marge Champion, Mrs. Bester, Don 'Red' Barry, Hamilton Camp, Tom Basham, Iron Eyes Cody and Susan St James.
Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.

Peace through superior firepower - ain't nothin' more peaceful than a dead troublemaker.
