This does seem to resolve some of the outstanding questions -- in particular, whether Yves is an instigator or a victim. At this point he's either being set up or he's a
really good actor.
Let's take a step back. What do we know?
- Somebody used Pink Clouds on Alex.
- Alex got a sample of Pink Clouds from somebody driving a Princess Pink delivery van. She thinks it was from Yves, but Yves denies this.
- Alex used Pink Clouds on Katie and Caitlyn.
- Somebody wearing blue gloves used Pink Clouds on Alex and Katie outside the strip club.
Ockham's Razor suggests that it's the same 'somebody', i.e. that the person who gave Alex the Pink Clouds and set her up to think Yves did it is the same person who Clouded Alex and Katie later. So who knows about Pink Clouds? Yves and Q, obviously. Jacqui. Vik and Kanti. Laura. Whoever broke into Vik's lab and photographed his notes. And Adrian, or at least I would have thought so based on his conversation with Laura in #184, except that here in #220 he doesn't seem to know what "this" is. Pearl, potentially. Anyone else?
Of those candidates, we can rule out Jacqui and Adrian out of sheer physical impossibility. Laura lacks the motivation. Yves looks unlikely at this point. So that leaves Q, Vik, Kanti and the thief. Of those, my money is on the thief, whoever that turns out to be.
