Now that the most urgent hanging questions from the cliffhanger have been resolved this smells like a switch to one of the other plot threads.  I'm not sure which one, though...

Not at past 8 pm.  She's busy with Amy.  Maybe Q-ball is continuing his bogus investigation into Adrian's supposed stash of Pink Clouds.  If Zenon is acting on Claudia's new info, it could involve Amy.

So, who's Alex?  A member of the Mantis Squad, but we haven't met her before.  I can't even really tell where this is taking place. So, what storefront is this?

I don't see how Alex can be a member of the cheer squad.  If we have seen her before, I would guess that it might be one of the pink ladies in the background of issue 81, but that seems unlikely to me, since it looked as those two actually worked for Pink Princess rather than obtaining their products.

I think this is just the aftermath of the Erin/Dani incident, when Caitlyn and Raven meet in a grocery store to compare notes, just as a (very suspicious) delivery from Pink Princess arrives for Alex.

Another new character.  Hmmm.

We have been here before: Episode 24.

Okay, she's a clerk at the...grocery store.  What does Princess Pink sell besides perfume?  Most beauty products would seem to be an odd fit for a small-town grocery store or pharmacy.

Well, *I* buy shampoo at the grocery store. :)

Granted, but Chanel and Joy don't make shampoo, do they?  In order to think about this intelligently, I have to understand the spectrum of products PP manufactures/distributes/sells.  Downside of developing a fanbase.  We tend to ask detail questions.

PP is a beauty products company, not specifically a perfume company. Of course, they need scents for their products.

Wide distribution of mind control agents?  Say it's so!

Makes sense.  Dammit, I'd forgotten Erin did that. 

Is the clerk in #24 Alex?  Or someone else? Does it even matter?

Yes.

I got the impression Pink Clouds was also a perfume, not spec for a multi-purpose fragrance.  Plus, I thought beauty products are makeup, skin cream, blush, lipstick, eye shadow, etc., not typically available at small-town grocery store.

You'd be surprised what small town grocery stores carry...
