Hmm.  Well, it could be about Laura's reaction to what Q said.  It could be about Rain's style of teaching music.  It could even be about the reaction to the clocktower.

That last panel just flipped me completely against Q again.  However, I have to say, if this really is his master plan, to reveal a tiny sliver of truth and then throw suspicion on a potential rival so he can operate on a smaller scale with impunity, I have to respect him as as a villain going forward because that's a very slick move.

I have to ask--how does Q know that this doesn't work on all women?  He knows about Pink Clouds, but how does he know this is exactly the same.  Also, for someone who got degrees from MIT as a safety school, that "testosterone" hypothesis was pretty thin.  All of which, I suppose, brings us back to Q in jail and that mysterious blonde.  Was it Rain?  If so, did the stuff work on her, but Pearl saw and turned out to be a resistor for whatever reason?  Or was Rain playing possum to get the guy busted?  Might she be one of the few who can resist the clocktower, the Watch, and Pink Clouds (and its various derivatives) because of her own nature?

Anyway, you're forcing us to reevaluate Q again.  Very, very interesting.;)

I also totally missed that possible reading of Laura's reaction.  I read her expression as horror, not complete nonplussed bewilderment or Liz-humor from Sneakers.

Can Q even keep straight the lies he's telling to different people at this point?  I got the impression that his story was designed merely to throw suspicion away from himself (because he'd used it in the "untraceable" way and wanted to throw Kanti and, more importantly, Vik off his scent) but if he knew about Adrian's social life (as well he might considering that he's intimate with Kanti and everything Vik hears, Kanti hears), then this could be a tactic to throw suspicion on Adrian, but if it's in the climate you described, it's less well-planned and more "flying-by-the-seat-of-the-pants" than I thought it was.  He gets demerits.  He's not as stupid as Derek, but he's not a smooth operator, changing since his story requires significant change every half minute or so.
