In retrospect, it seems as if we have an enforced Carrie-sized plot hole. Know who she didn't ask if she could go out? Know who a kid would ask in real life? The third adult in the room, that's who! Lynn's bizarre "this person can only speak to X, Y but not Z" playground clique bullshit blinded her to the possibility that John and Elly were not the only voices that could boom in a child's ear. There is precedent: the last time Will and Carrie were there, they did more parenting in two weeks than John and Elly contrived to do in the preceding two years.

1. Not only can you be replaced, but your replacement would be all but guaranteed to be an upgrade.

2. You aren't being replaced; the people in this strip aren't doing things you normally do. They are doing things you neglect to do.

2. If you truly think you can be replaced, maybe do something about it. I mean, rather than stare blankly and thought-bubble about it.

1) And deep down,she knows it.

2) She's worried about being replaced with someone who does those things.

3) Staring blankly is all she can do.

This is what fuels the anger: the feeling that no one should care if she disappeared.

I still think it was presumptuous of Carrie to reorganize Elly's kitchen and replace the drapes without permission.

It was! I wonder if Ruth Johnston had done something that bothered Lynn recently, when she wrote and drew that/

Oh, no doubt of that. We'll never know what the precise thing was but someone felt undermined.
