But we know what Marliese's watch programming was because it's there in 45: she loves him and she needs to fuck him. I don't think it matters what her sexual orientation is in the face of that.
And 45 is still one of the hottest scenes in the entire comic, at least for me.
I might be in the minority here, but I think I'd find Mallory and Marliese talking about their orientation to be hot, at least on the cerebral level - then again, I like explicit induction like in #45, and our writer likes that to be more implied.
