Why is Becky Eating Humble Pie Again?
Why is Becky eating humble pie again? The simple answer is because she has not talked to April about anything that did not involve herself for the last 2 years.
If you start from the September, 2005 strips where Becky begins to talk about her career and take every single appearance she has made since that time, she has never had a conversation with April where she (Becky) was not the focus. Even when she was humiliated in the Gym / Jam, the conversation with April in the washroom was devoted to herself and how she was humiliated.
The new Becky we see today talks about something else other than herself and she has a topic in particular. That topic is how good April and Eva were. Not only that, but when April slams her and Eva slams her, she takes it and keeps on going. You see it is not enough to want to be friends with April after you have left her band. It is not enough to take April’s solace after a tremendous public humiliation. It is not enough to have a topic of conversation other than yourself. In order to truly get forgiveness from a Patterson, you must make them your focus. You must talk about how wonderful the Patterson is.
This is the lesson that Gordon Mayes learned. This is the lesson that Lawrence Poirier leaned. Now it’s time for Becky to learn it too.

Poor Becky! :(
I failed to mention that in order to make Becky's humble pie eating complete, she is also being forced to wear outfits that Lynn Johnston considers to be the standard garb of teenage pop stars of the 1980s.
