I confess I was finding events at the twins' place a bit of an annoying distraction from what appears to be the main event, until Hayley decided to render Laura suggestible. I'm definitely interested now to see where that's going. Unfortunately both the title and the thumbnail might be pointing at "brainlessness", but I suppose that with Laura's brain being of significance here, even that could be good.

And now it will turn out that that isn't Laura...

I definitely love how there's mind control going on here that's more "play" between two characters who at least like each other (since they're part of Adrian's harem).

I was glad it wasn't the brainlessness thing, certainly. And that first panel is very nice.

The thing is, while we might assume that this is a bit of harmless fun, it's effectively the same thing that Miriam has just done to Erin and Raven. And Hayley and Miriam have a similar status within the harem. The difference is probably that we know that Hayley has a bit of a thing for Laura. But on the other hand that gives her an actual, personal motivation for what she's doing. And that may be why I find it quite hot.

The framing of it definitely presents what Miriam is doing as more sinister, to be honest.

If it turns out we end up with an intra-harem conflict between team Hayley and team Miriam, that would be both the most complicated and most hilarious result.

Is Hayley really in the harem though? She's never had the watch used on her.
