"So, as far as I can tell, the important part here is that if TV agrees to hand over the 20 mil Charlie's demanding, that money will go to GK instead of Charlie. It's vital to ensure that the Towers don't know about that because Shirley wouldn't agree if she knew and they can't deceive each other."

Yes, and although I dont see exactly how this eventually will play out, it's apparent that when Sky destroyed GK's gems she actually saved all their lives.

TV hands over all their money, then they hand over assets equal to the value of more money, then because they’re broke GK covers their upkeep costs for them.

I think.

Pretty much, although there seems to be some dispute regarding just how much money TV has, due to the combat encounters between Sky and the CC aligned dolls.

Comic update. The archons immediately realize something might be wrong. The question is if they will be able to fix it before TV can take advantage.

Charlie realizes that something is wrong. But it is seemingly already to late to do anything about it. It's Bennie's game right now, whatever he was planning is about to play out.

Text update. Might have a problem because of Unspoken Plan Guarantee—we're hearing their plan.

Working with engineers.

Exposition inbound...

Another text update.

Some stuff on contracts, and apparently Caesar's collar was made by the link up, so it can't be easily removed without the link up. Not even by a contract.

Woopsie.

I bet another archentool could do it.

I suspect Shirley can do it eventually, the question is if she'll manage to do it before she realizes she's been cheated. And since she's already realizing something is wrong...

She also might wrongly assume that the collar is the reason money didn't go through.

Well, update is out.

Sigh. Caesar, c'mon man, do you really have to go making things more complicated? Can't we just get this over with already?

Caesar must be going to the Magic Kingdom to help dig out Wanda!

Afterwards, they will go on wacky adventures together in the magical kingdom of Oz!

Comic update.

So, sounds like the 'Caesar flew into the portal just after it got hacked' thing I was thinking about may be panning out.

They are hacking GK's portal, not Transylvito's. Ceaser's still going to croak.

This scene takes place before the end of the previous page, though. They have time to make it to TV's portal and rig it.

Depends. Ive seen some speculatuon that because GK's portal's cllar is broken, when they go through they are going to appear under the ground. Even if they dont, GK's portal was sealed from the MK side. So there are some challenges to overcome.

I don't think that's speculation. This update said that trying to go through the portal with the collar broken on the other side has a chance of making you come out either from the regular portal or from one of the broken shards. Since GK's portal is sealed, it'd be pretty easy for them to get underground, because the units would just hit a wall if they were going to come out aboveground.

Also, remember the whole "Time passes differently in different hexes" thing. It is possible that they could get to TV's portal in time to Carny it before Caesar flies into it, although I personally don't think that's going to be a thing.
