Saint James Infirmary 290: Cashing Out.

[Daphne]

Friday, April 25th!

[Haight]

Wait, where are those girls in the last panel?

[Salanar]

The last panel suggests we've swallowed a huge red herring. OR, there are clones and the real girls are looking terrified at something. Or, they wanted more sex in the car. I'm probably wrong on the last 2. My gut tells me the girls are still thralls. And it appears Kanti has joined them.

I dunno. This comic takes a lot dark twists and I'm never entirely of what's actually going on.

[Werdna]

I thought Adrian had left them at Vikram's apartment, from which he had rescued Amy.  We certainly didn't see them leave, but that was issue 274.

I was going to say it was callous of Adrian to have left them in the hands of an unhinged, delusional, gun-toting maniac, but there is no evidence to suggest Adrian even knew they were in there.  Even so, contemplating what they've been dealing with - being mind-controlled into controlling others, being trapped at Vik's after he has been denied his prize.  Brrrr...

[Haight]

Also, about Kanti - before being dosed by Q, she wasn't down to go down on guys.  Now, she might be so horny after being dosed with this stuff that she doesn't care, or it may not have had the same effect on her as it did on Amy and Hayley, for some reason.  We didn't see her reaction to having her suggestions undone, after all.

I maintain that we haven't seen Hayley come to any realization about her time under the influence of Pink Clouds either. That may be because she wasn't made to do anything when she was under that she wouldn't have done if she hadn't been. Or it may be because Q's antidote doesn't do anything other than make women horny. I believe the only realization that we have seen Hayley come to is that she was feeling thus.

To add the one detail missing from Werdna's post, the pair in the last panel are Alex and Katie (I believe).

[Salanar]

I realized upon further inspection that, indeed, I had failed to account for the incident at the strip club and the grocery store. And thusly will agree with Godwiling's observation about Katie and Alex.
