Kind of makes one wonder if there's anything else Smiley might be neglecting to mention...

Just when we thought the plot couldn't get any more twisty!

Aleck and Beth Woad are central characters in Andrew's City of the Watcher trilogy. The events of the trilogy include their capture by Agent Xax's team, but not Beth's subsequent liberation by Rissa Flammarion's crew of space pirates.

That's Rissa Flammarion herself, picking the lock on Beth's handcuffs. She's spent most of her life near the top of the Reality Patrol's Most Wanted list, but they still haven't caught her.

Yes, Bianca's eyes changed color, somewhere in between page 6 and this page. That's something that happens when she's feeling good. Kind of like mood rings. Except they're eyes. Mood eyes?

In addition to appearing in the final volume of Andrew's City of the Watcher trilogy, Max has a lead role in Andrew's psychedelic novella Wallflower Assassin––the one Weird Luck story so far that takes place after the storyline of this comic. Max isn't in his right mind in that story, either.

And by the way, this isn't the first glimpse we've had of the infamous interdimensional terrorist Jack Waghalter. A photo of Waghalter from when he had two eyes was featured on a slide in a Reality Patrol training lecture Agent Sojac attended as a cadet, as seen back in Chapter 1.4.

Spectacular flashback sequence in three... two... one... 

Smiley came here to smoke expensive cigars and reveal plot twists, and there's no smoking allowed in the conference room.

Bianca loves this part of her job. 

Bianca's the only character in this chapter who's not sleep-deprived.
