Stars from the current cover all together again for the first time since...either the Day After, or the basketball game we didn't see on...Harem Night?  Or am I mixing up the continuity again?

Wait, was the basketball game the night of the rescue operation--Cait went into Sawyer's and then got hooked by Yves, PC and the background music?

I'm thinking this sounds more sinister than it actually is.

Confused... Looks like Hitomi's speaking at the end, but she answers to a speech bubble addressing her as "Caitlyn".

Caitlyn is Hitomi roommate
and Imani speech bubble

It looks pretty ominous to me.  Imani is giving Hitomi suggestions for her evening with Adrian and reminding her of other instructions she's already received regarding Caitlyn.  I guess Lucky Dog...er, Coates or his archaeologist wife want a full collection of cheerleaders for their fungeon.

Perhaps this competing agenda will force Adrian to okay the use of the Watch to protect Caitlyn (who is equal parts ferocious and vulnerable).  Once that happens, perhaps there will be another spree.  The party seems like the perfect setting for one.

Questions I was sure someone else would ask before me:

1. In panel #1, who decided to go commando to cheer practice?  Is that Hitomi

2. That's Caitlyn who's still feeling Mantis effect and has to go shopping?

3. Who are Headband and Doo Rag?

4. Is DR the cheer captain from the guest page way back when?

1. Yes

2. Yes, and it's glorious. It's ok if it's gradual, but Caitlyn getting promoted to the Erin/Jacqui/Miriam level would be nice...

3. Other cheerleaders.

4. I suppose so? We don't know yet.

I don't know how sinister what the cheer squad is up to is supposed to be. As far as Imani knows, she might just be turning Hitomi slutty... we don't have much evidence to suggest that they're an aggressively expansionist MC harem. It *seems* to be just fallout from the clocktower stuff.

Hitomi wandering into Imani and Coates' play was clocktower fallout and Coates' wife came home and took over.  But, Coates had been seeing Imani for awhile.  This instruction is very oblique, but it seems to be about setting up Cait to join the Archaeologist's Cheerleader Fungeon or playtime, or whatever.  So, this would seem to be another case where opposing forces are pulling at Caitlyn.  In order to neutralize the threat, I think Adrian could reconsider his stance on The Watch.  His course of action will probably depend on the form the threat or challenge takes when he meets it.

The outcome I'm hoping for is that the best way to protect the characters involved is to, in fact, strengthen their obedience via watch programming.
