Saint James Infirmary 97: La Retour

[Daphne]

Coming Friday!

Okay, my French is more than rusty, it's corroded.  Still, I think that roughly translates as "The Return."  That would seem to indicate that this next entry is about Adrian and Erin returning to SJI (possibly to unveil the new furniture in the living room).

I'll even help out this time, for a change, since it's a bit colloquial: "La Retour" does mean "the return," but idiomatically, it means the mass return of workers from vacation at the end of summer.

Ah-Ha.  Well, that opens up another set of possibilities.  This could be Pearl's first experience of dorm life, or Marliese getting back into the siwng of things as a nurse--or following one of the cheerleaders.  The straightest shot still seems to be Erin and Adrian returning to the newly remodeled SJI.

So all back to work or school.
but how about Night time Himmm.

Two other possibilities, both long shots: Derek comes back from wherever he ran off to, or the doctor at the health center comes back early from his vacation.

Wasn't Dani supposed to give Erin a class on that new apparatus they installed?

Also, it's possible we could skip a few days and see these people actually interacting in a scholastic setting.

Return of the Doctor Himm He want Sex slave.

Nice call mns, it is the doctor getting back.  It appears that Zenon was sloppy in his trigger assignment (as noted in pop-up text).  It also explains Derek's limited success, he was drafting off Zenon's work.  At some point, someone will have to explain how he got access to the sessions in the first place.  He's didn't display much brainpower or ingenuity.

New questions have arisen, however.  Zenon is working with or for someone else doing his hypnotic experiments.  And whoever that person is, she...SHE (oh this could be fun) works (and possibly lives) in Manhattan.

that's pretty awesome

Okay, sorry--which of the triplets was she again?  The cheerleader had the oven mitts and Laura's the redhead--Amy was the last to be personally accosted, right?  She was Derek's replacement for Danielle when he and Adrian simultaneously triggered her...right?

Also, what exactly was the trigger that Zenon used on all of his patients?  Derek's approach to each looked different.

Right on all counts...Amy's the blonde who Derek snatched after being thwarted by Adrian (the first time).

Also, what exactly was the trigger that Zenon used on all of his patients?  Derek's approach to each looked different.

Like we're going to tell you that!

[jmundt29]

Tell us straight out right now?  Probably not.  Have Zenon reveal to explain his carelessness and his difficulties to his New York boss sometime in the future?  Considerably more interesting and appealing than watching Querek make Kanti more sexually submissive and adventurous with his tiny mind and a valuable sample of perfume.

I apologize for the tone.  The Kanti-Q sequence is amusing and provides a lot of potential for the future if/when Querek and the sample cross paths with Adrian and the Infirmary gals.  However, backstory on the doctor and his (hopefully attractive and nefarious) boss seems to have a lot more potential.  I'm not a Q fan (in spite of the interesting vagaries concerning his age and life experience before Wilmot).
