- The issue begins with the preview pages followed by Karolina, and Nico having a conversation. Nico doesn't know that Karolina was late for dinner because she was saving Rob, but is surprised by how happy/energetic she is. Once again, while they are in sight of another character nobody acknowledges their relationship*.
- The next few pages take place in Chase's workshop. While repairing Doombot narration reveals that he ultimately brought Gert back to life because he needed her. Knowing that a 20 year old dating a 16 year old isn't right, he was kind of hoping that if he waited long enough the age gap wouldn't matter much, and they could resume their relationship.
- Victor enters, and things are tense between the two. Chase is justifiably mad that he spent time trying to fix him when Victor could have fixed himself at any point. Victor suggests that isn't the case, before Chase gets angry at him in regards to Gert.
- Their argument wakes Doombot up. They proceed to attack Chase, Victor, and eventually the others. Molly manages to hold back Doom long enough for Victor to patch into his mind palace. The issue ends with Doombot continuing to insist that he's the real Dr. Doom to Victor within his mind palace.
*EDIT: On a re-read one does notice Molly cracking a smile when she sees Nico/Karolina together. That currently makes it so: Old Lace, Alex, and Molly have responded to the relationship. |
