In Meryl and Selena’s video, the latter curtly, in traditional Miranda-style, says, “So that you’re returning for season 5”. Meryl having switched locations to spiritually play Andy, mimics Anne’s response to a T by saying, “Properly, I feel that is dependent upon—”. She in fact is minimize off fairly promptly by Selena who very coldly says, “No, no, that wasn’t a query”.
