Coming Friday, August 2nd!

I don't want it.

Adrian has a decent memory for cars.  Most obvious question right now is:  "Who is that about to unleash the spritz of Pink Clouds?"

Looks like a woman's hand, but Alex is elsewhere.  Wrong coloration to be Kanti.  Laura, maybe?

my think is Alex

It would seem to make sense, but don't we see her over in another area in the panel just before the closer? ???

If only there were a panel that showed she had gotten up from the bar and was walking somewhere...

need to look at panel or window 3

like she said.

I didn't mean Wednesday's entry or that she froze after Sawyer talked to her.  I thought she was busy on the other side of the club.

We see her walking elsewhere in the club after Sawyer speaks to her.  We know she's under the influence of Pink Clouds.  Ockham's Razor makes her by far more likely to be the owner of the hand than some other character not seen in the issue at all otherwise.

Wait, was Alex purposely dosed by someone?

Not sayin' it happened, not sayin' it didn't, but we haven't seen it if it has.

I mean, my understanding of how Pink Clouds works is that without any specific instructions, it won't really do much?  So Katie'd kinda have to be purposely dosed for it to have an affect.

Looks like we need more information about Pink Clouds, or rather this iteration of PC.  Which one is this?  Is this the one Q stole from the chem lab that he's trying to sneak into circulation, or is this the product Guy had to pull after Q went to prison?  We only know how Vik's blend reacts.

Also, is there history (relationship/crush) between Alex and Katie?

.

I inferred Alex being under Pink Cloud influence because she had a symptomatic headache after her off-screen interaction with the PP delivery person, and because afterwards she became oddly insistent on going to Sawyer's.  Opportunity plus sudden behavioral change equals mind control.

Here's another question.  Who's the target, Caitlyn or Katie?  If Katie that implies a conflict between PP and Sawyer with the SJI gang in the crossfire.  If Caitlyn that would imply something more opportunistic, since nobody had any reason to think she would be there that night at all.

I'm kind of hoping for the latter: Sawyer trying to recruit some new talent using Alex as the recruiter.  "Caitlyn, you really want to work here as a stripper.  You love the job.  You'll do anything your boss tells you to."

Hopefully we'll find out more on Monday, unless Daphne pulls one of her patented cliffhanger scene shifts.

Headache meant exposure, but this seems really indirect for Q.  Unless he's the mystery assailant, and unleashing Alex is the third stage of his plan against Adrian (but he doesn't know the significance of The Watch yet, does he?).  Maybe deploying his version of PC and sending it to common areas like the store and Sawyer's to meet and counter Adrian's "stash" might be plausible.  However, it looks like Alex has been loosed to pursue her own desires.  A long way of saying that I think that Katie is Alex's target.
