Personally, I find the "I have no friends" story to be cliched and not have enough substance to carry a story arc for more than one episode...so I'm kind of glad they haven't gotten her back to angsting. I feel that her character was most effective in Bus the Two of Us. She didn't take up too much time with her jabber, she didn't wrestle with any other characters for the spotlight. She provided a good gag (in the form of Boy of Spotted-Tongue and Japanese Speakin' Bloo) and then she left without too much of splash. She was far more subtle in that episode than in any other I've seen her in. If they can manage to do that more often, I'd be able to tolerate her fine.
