Line art by MB, colors by Sorenka. Coming Friday, May 24th!

Well, Sorenka was responsible for the Missouri flashbacks, so maybe something to give us hope that Erin isn't just giving up in the current situation?

That was my thought too, jmundt - Five points of a Wiccan pentagram, maybe?

Nope.  Sadly, this is a reference to the Five Points neighborhood in NYC, and it's Jacqui (who seriously should know better) and the freakin' Q-ball.  Apparently, their relationship predated her purchase of Deep Black Vinyl.  Only two things of lasting interest here.  First, Jacqui's normal self in love and Jacqui's "watch self" in love sound just about exactly the same.  This could toll in Adrian's favor, or it could indicate that the Q-ball was doing something nefarious "six years ago."  Second thing, is our red flag for the weekend.  Q-Box is already familiar with Kearsage before Jacqui moves there, but this doesn't seem like a passing familiarity (oh, isn't that the college town of that place I tried to get into and couldn't?), it seems like more than that.  So, what's going on there?  Also, he went from a chemist at Dow to a chemist and grunt at some fly-by-night cosmetics company?  Did he at least apply for a teaching position at Wilmot?  Seems like he'd get serious consideration as an adjunct faculty in the chemistry department with his graduate and workplace resumee.

Oh, and one more thing--no scar.  So, is the scar from his time locked up, or from whatever the inciting incident was that got him arrested?

ETA--Pop-up text is currently missing.

A follow-up question--Is that Hans (Sawyer's bodyguard/companion) sitting in that cab honking his horn? ???

OK, I'm embarrassed about avoiding the obvious in the title because I was so focused on possible metaphors or allusions that I didn't think it would be something as literal as what that title turned out to be.

Also, beautiful art; I'm so glad we get SJI while the usual artists are taking their break.

Fixed!
