You can never count Leslie out; she always pops up when you least expect her, and even when you do. Leslie showed up at the Duprees with a cactus as a gift for Anita, more reminiscent of Leslie's prickly personality than anything else. Shortly thereafter, Bill got the signal from Vernon and bodily carried Leslie out the front door that Vernon opened for her. Leslie is clearly not about to stop there; she has other plans that night, but it’s Leslie that is about to be surprised this time. In Fridays episode, Ted surprises Leslie with an intriguing proposal while Tomas offers to help Eva.
