That got him sent to prison? I doubt it.
You're right, It's 3:10, so we've only skipped 5 hours, not 8.
Still, like I said--there are so many other things we could have missed
1. Laura getting samples and listening to Vik talk about his interrupted or abbreviated date.
2. A tinge on the broadcast from the belltower.
3. Q-Box cowering in the fetal position in the back of the Princess Supplies van, thinking about the last thing he had Kanti do under the influence of the perfume (hopefully his LAST happy memory)
4. Claudia emerging from New York with her entourage to personally whip Zenon and his experiment into shape (actual whip optional, of course)
5. Meeting the rest of the Mantis squad or perhaps just learning their names (like say, the two who are on either side of Caitlyn in her panel of issue #79?
)
6. What has unflappable Sue been up to all this time?
Any one of these things could have taken place before, or at the same time as the issue we just saw, intriguing as it may be.
Incidentally, I absolutely love Jacqui's sour face when she sees Rain walk up to the counter in panel 3.
Also, I'm still not clear on the exchange between Erin and Jacqui. Is Erin talking about Jacqui's rehearsal with Dani, Dani's solo rehearsal, Jacqui's solo rehearsal, or something Erin and Dani are doing (after all, Erin said she wanted to learn)?
And if it is rehearsal, wouldn't Erin see Jacqui before and/or during since the only private rehearsal sapce we know of so far is the SJI living room, and she's presumably going home to help prepare the vegi meal for Raven (and Laura?) this evening?
