She knowingly and deliberately continued to live, thus causing Surma's death.
I don't think you could make that one hold up in court, not since no-one actually told her.

Not knowing it is illegal doesn't make it legal to do an action.

I'm pretty sure the law isn't designed to deal with situations where the mere fact the child exists means the parent will die.

Yeah.

I mean, if that was counted as murder, then I think any child whose mother died giving birth to them would be a murderer, as well.

Sorry, 'not committing suicide' is an actionable offence now?

Yep, and every birth would count as assault, regardless of the outcome.

What country's laws are we operating on here? Isn't the Court somewhere in England?

Comic.

In which the secret that's not a secret is exposed as not being a secret.

That is a comic, yes. It was not the comic I was expecting to see in this thread. This is.

That was weird. That definitely should not have been the last thing on my clipboard, unless I timeslipped 23 hours into the past...

Although what Rikalous saw should not have been much of a secret, either. Elliot and Tedd need to stop denying the truth.

Anybody else think Annie was just running off to give them some privacy?

Myself i think Kat is making way too much of this. As sort of stated above she, and maybe Paz are the only ones who think their secret is a secret. Myself I think Annie just saw them and figured that they wanted some privacy. Kat's conclusions are based on a combination of bad timing and her own insecurities.

She's just collecting enough balloons for the PARTY!!

Goood, I HOPE it's building up to a twist like that. Love triangles are something this series really doesn't need. Please.

I would vastly prefer love triangles not be involved as well, yes. There are plenty of ways to make relationships interesting and interacting without resorting to that.

Not to mention that I like Kat and Annie as friends. Brosises!

I swear, if this turns into a love triangle, I'm done.

... Except not, because I still want to see how everything plays out, but I will be very upset.

[up][up][up]That, or it turns out she's been chatting it up with Paz the whole time. Or both. Basically I don't see this ending with Annie not being hugely supportive.

wild mass guess Annie had been looking for Kat's advice on matters of the heart and decided that what she saw was an answer in the affirmative, and so is now with her furry love.

I wouldn't mind a love triangle, both for uh, reasons of my own, and because I like triangles where the main character isn't the central vertex.
