I believe you mean playing Kirby's Epic Yarn - though I'm sure he's beaten that in the (roughly) two months since we last saw him on-screen In-Universe. Though maybe not, depending on how much being baked has impacted his ability to play.

I don’t read that as intimidating; more making him a REALLY BIG offer.

Oh, she's not trying to intimidate him in that Imagine Spot, but his facial expression is definitely one of "Please get away from me I would like to eat in peace, thank you"

That cat is having the WORST day as far as its concerned

Also someone in the comments pointed out that since Arianna had HW's legal paperwork, there is a pretty decent chance ARCHON knows where she lives

Meaning, yes, bad idea to port home immediately.

HW could really do with going down right about now so the story can move on.

Also, obstroculous is barely a word, lady. Go look for a proper one.

The Perfectly Cromulent Word was covered in the author commentary, actually tongue

Before you go scrambling to google, “obstroculous” is a word Mrs. Slocombe of “Are You Being Served?” made up. Based on context, it means “obstructive” or “being difficult” as in a person, not like a math problem. There is a word, “Obstropulous” meaning “noisy or rough, especially in resisting restraint or control,” and arguably, Mrs. Slocombe might have been saying that, but to me it’s funnier that she’s trying to sound fancy, but is doing it with a made-up word. Yes, yes. All words are made up. Like “matmass,” apparently. What we know for sure is that Hench Wench watched “Are You Being Served” and is convinced Mrs. Slocombe said “obstroculous.”

As for taking her down, a judicious application of night-night serum seems like the best bet.

Although, much like with Kevin, you run into the question of what exactly you do to keep them down. This being comics (and them having used Instant Sedation before), they probably do have a way to just keep her in a medical coma perpetually without side effects... then again, they seem to have ways to deal with them, from Kevin who's kept stoned (maybe... I think that might have been an imagine spot of sorts) to Opal who's kept in very low pressure so that she can't teleport out without injuring herself. Hmm... it feels like Archon is very willing to go the route of solitary confinement, at the least, with dangerous supers.

Well, she was kept there - Deus bailed her out, iirc, as she and Vekter are his employees.

[down]

Not entirely - she and Vekter do have a rap sheet, but since their primary residence (on paper) is the country Deus effectively owns, he was able to arrange deportation, iirc.

Ah, she might have been one of the people being "debriefed" due to the difficulty of figuring out who was a willing participant.

Love Maxima's understated Mama Bear reaction to Sydney's Thousand-Yard Stare, along with Cora's nonplussed one. It'll be really fun to see how Maxima reacts if Concretia pipes up about what an utter scumbag the guy was.

Okay, wait a second. One of the (many) reasons Max is annoyed at Cora is because they can't question this guy now. But he had minions with him who didn't get gibbed by the unwinder. What happened to them? Can't they be questioned?

Probably - and while Cora saw what Maxima did there, I'll admit that I'm confused on that particular bit.

I kind of get the feeling that she's not planning on staying on earth long, so there's no harm in doing the bare minimum of placating.

With Dave's commentary about cultural norms as an excuse, all I could think of was Robot Chicken's sketch where Han finally meets Chewbacca's family... who are all wearing clothing.
