Well, this could be one of two things.  It could either be

1. related to the aftereffects of Sample 49 in Lauren or Kanti  OR

2. It could have something to do with the planned entertainment back at SJI (Dani and Erin testing out the modified...rec room).  Either one seems quite promising

You're overlooking Adrian's hitherto unmentioned "reluctant bladder" problem.

No spoilers!

And Scent Lure offically makes it into the SJI universe.  Heh, this place is almost like the SJI is where all your other mind control projects converge, because I could sware that the pocket watch used in the recent arc was the same used to hypnotise Honey when she went back into the wild west.

I don't think so.  The SJI watch has a personality and shifting designs.  The Cuckoo's Nest watch was...well, no shifting designs but the glow could be another interpretation of similar power.  If Cuckoo's Nest #3 is an offshoot ancestor timeline to SJI it could be the early history of The Watch or an alternate dimension take that's somewhat similar.  There have been other tie-ins/hints at other works.  For instance, one of the (as yet) unnamed bit players from the Diner (the pickup driver) looks a bit like "Coach" from Sweat Equity.

Eh, voila the birth of a villain.  Q went from aroused and joking to surprised to conniving and a potential adversary in...what less than two minutes?::)

However, this brings up an interesting question that we haven't dealt with yet.  Vik was in the same position with Laura that Q was with Kanti.  Presumably, he felt aroused by the scent, what did he do or say while Laura was zonked?  Did he just keep it to himself, and, therefore, not know the full extent of the danger? ???  Hard to believe he'd willingly put Kanti in that sort of danger.  Looks like we need more information.

Also, how much of 49 is left?  Presumably Vik didn't give the whole thing to Kanti, that would have been incredibly irresponsible, stupid, and reckless.  He doesn't strike me as any of those things.

Forgot to mention--the first panel of this week's update is quite reminiscent of a scene from Come Under My Spell that that the author has indicated is a source of inspiration to her.:)

I think he suggested that they market the solution as both a perfume and as a carpet cleaner, and that he (Vikram) clean up the lab, which, if true, would be a pretty funny directive for her, to start marketing the amazing dual perfume/household cleaning product.

My own theory is that the watch's programming overrode the perfume more or less immediately, but I have no evidence to back that up other than that the watch seems like the strongest, most permanent form of MC in SJI.

No, we don't see her zonked period.  Remember, the period of suggestion is between asterisk time and when the subject wakes up with a nasty headache.  We skipped right from her zonking, to her awaking.  All we saw was their conversation after the crucial interval.
