Spinnerette

Step 4: Monitor Sara-Nicole for three days to starve out the Yeerk.

Step 5, intense internal monologue about the horrors of war.

I'm intrigued by this story turn, but am not hopeful it will turn out in a satisfying way.

Neither am I.

• What I want: Acknowledgement that the town kinda f*cked up in their treatment of Sara-Nicole. They - Spinny included - made this monster. and they need to fix it.
• What I expect: All blame pinned on Sara-Nicole for being an evil, evil person. Perhaps some condemnation of Conversion Therapy, but no acknowledgment of the slut-shaming at all.

Holy shit this got serious fast.

Considering the last two villains, Stepford Smiler Boomerang Bigot is baby school

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

I'm thinking this will end up with Spinny realizing she's at fault too for what happened.

... Why? She didn't personally do anything to Sara-Nicole.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Passive-agressive shunning all over teen years? Yeah, that can do plenty of damage.

That's a drop in the bucket compared to what Sara-Nicole must've been facing from her own family, let alone everyone else in town. Hell, speaking as someone who had been constantly bullied throughout his school years (from elementary to high school, i.e. 12 years!), I honestly see Heather's negative reaction to Sara-Nicole's behavior towards her as very understandable, because Sara-Nicole gave no indication whatsoever that she was just trying to be friendly / subtly expressing homosexual attraction in her own roundabout way.

...Really? Spinny sure was petty and silly with the grudge, but nowhere "You have created this monster!".

We only know Heather's side of the story regarding her childhood. We have seen Heather unapologetically slut-shame Sara-Nicole even as an adult, however, so it's not a stretch to assume that Teen!Heather was one of the voices shame-whipping her into the Stepford Heteronormative Boomerang Bigot she is today.

"starve out the Yeerk"
Thank you for that.

Clearly the solution is to overcome the mind drugs with some good old-fashioned Girl on Girl Is Hot.

Assuming facts not in evidence. Objection sustained.

I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.

Order in the court.

I assume that Sara-Nicole's transition from then to now probably looked something like this.

Time to escape.

I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.

Yeesh, that first panel. You can't get more demonizing than that.

Seems like we are going for the "This all happened because Sara-Nicole is an Evil, Slutty Bitch Monster from Hell, and no one else shares any blame or fault for making her this way."

General rule of thumb: always unmask the hero given the opportunity. Even if you don't expect them to be famous or known to you. Better safe than sorry.

Also, doesn't Heather have freckles when she's not wearing her mask? Where do they go?

The sad, REAL American dichotomy

I can kinda see why Heather still has her mask on.

Sara-Nicole's trying to make a sales pitch. She honestly seems to believe that there is any version of this in which Spinny goes, "Your arguments make sound logical sense. I agree wholeheartedly and will help you champion the cause of correcting people's behavior through secret behavior-altering chemicals!"

Unmasking Spinny would put her on the defensive and make her less willing to listen to anything Sara-Nicole has to say. Leaving her mask in place is a diplomatic courtesy.

Seems more like Gone Horribly Right meets Laser-Guided Karma meets Driven to Madness to me. Who the hell knows what the drug did to Sara-Nicole's mental stability? It's not like the priest could test it out properly and work out any unacceptable negative side-effects, you know.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Yeah, I'm not happy with this one either. Then again, she was under the influence of a drug she was coerced into taking. I'm pretty sure she's legally innocent, or at the very least unaccountable. Ultimately, I want this solved with pathos, not action.

And trigger Death by Secret Identity?

Edit: Damn, I know Luckily, My Powers Will Protect Me is a staple of superhero comics, but there is such thing as Saying Too Much, you know?

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."

Well, she did drug Spinny, so perhaps she assumed it would make her more easily persuaded.

... You know, since Heather likes to tout her "spider biology" as a benefit, I wonder... Does she get drunk on caffeine now?
