Just For Pun has been disambiguated.


Things quickly go wrong when Glory Girl sees the tail end of a conversation between Queen and Tattletale (both having very good reasons to want Coil out of the picture in this setting). Glory decides to beat the bad guy up nearly accidentally killing Taylor in the process. The consequences of Taylor diving deeper than ever in an attempt to not die, Amy reaching her [[RageBreakingPoint Breaking Point]] healing people very injured from Vicky's enthusiasm, and [[HumanityIsInfectious humanity becoming infectious]] for the Queen Administrator shard start having some long term [[JustForPun deviations]] from then on.

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Taylor is [[spoiler: Madison's. The rest of the Harem has noticed Madison's mental state. In the aftermath of the Shadow Stalker fight, and the belief that Taylor fell to her death, Maddie sneaks behind the school and tries to slit her own wrists. This also causes Lisa's Second Trigger, so the same is probably true of her too.]]

Was it too late to go back to living in fear of being inducted into [[spoiler:my father's]] criminal empire in a [[WellIntentionedExtremist misguided effort to fix the Bay]]?

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted; Jessica Yamada has Taylor as a patient for a short time. [[spoiler: After she has a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment in an Endbringer Shelter during the Leviathan fight and consequently triggers, Super Therapy is basically Emma Barnes' power in a nutshell, which she inadvertently uses on Taylor (due to having only just got them and thus having no control, especially when she's stressed) to start down the long road to patching things up between them. She takes the Cape Name Heartsight.]]



* UnwantedHarem: Taylor, though she part won't admit it and part can't see it, has amassed her own little lesbian harem. [[Lisa is first lady, Madison's feelings have been lit up in neon for a while, and Cassie eventually admits to having a crush. Possibly Flechette too. Hell even frickin' ''Emma''. The only question mark over Amy is whether she chooses Taylor or Vicky, since she has finally had a (100% consensual, albeit Truth Or Dare prompted) kiss with the latter.]]
