"Well, OK, Pearl, you're right: these dips do taste really good."

"Too good for words."

"Yeah, OK. I've read the title too you know. Too good for words. Even if my fingers are going to stink of garlic for a week now. But I have to say I thought you'd be more upset about the whole finding out you've just slept with your half-brother thing..."

Jacqui looks a little defensive here, actually.  Pearl's reaction (what we've seen so far) might be a little muted.  She seems somewhere between severely dismayed and distraught.  I guess we'll see how things progress.

Apart from the dips stuff I was right.

That turned out to be correct too.

Why do I find this hot for some reason?!

Because, like me, you're hoping this somehow leads into mother/daughter incest?

Not yet, obviously.  Have we found the limits of the Watch's programming capability?

That would seem to be an obstacle to Jakob's ambitions for his play.  We'll see.

No reason to think that.  The Watch hasn't been used on Pearl at all, as far as we know, and we have no reason to think Jacqui wouldn't have sex with Pearl if Adrian told her to.  Amy certainly doesn't have any issues sleeping with Hayley.

I meant to refer to Jacqui specifically when I brought up a possible limit to the Watch programming.  This felt like Jacqui outlining a boundary (a little bit) or reminding Pearl she was taking a boundary for granted that might not be as solid as she thinks.  Yes, it's mostly sarcastic, but Pearl seems to be a partial exception to the usual rules.  (See an attractive girl, think "she'd be great for Adrian" or "She'd be great for both of us," depending on the situation and context).
