Dumbing of Age

It'd be super easy to say "Roz is leftist Mary" but the truth is much more complicated than that.

Roz is self aggrandizing and convinced of her own righteousness, but because she's aimed in the right direction she never really has to grow or temper herself. She just comes off to me as someone who gets to be a huge turd because she's politically in the right.

Like her big iconic scene in the series thus far is throwing shit at Joyce's face and... she never really learned from that, and in fact a cowed and humbled Joyce did all but outright thank her for being a huge bag of dicks. She got told by Leslie but then dove right into flaunting her sister's sexuality for her own gain. She's a bad ally and she comes off as doing it mostly to get back at her sister but thus far she hasn't really had any moments of character growth.

This page title is really apropos

Also damn you, Willis.

How much of this is just to spite Amber?

Yeah, those godless heathens, making an honest, God-fearin' man stalk a college campus with a shotgun.

Get Ryan on board and this can be Amazi-Girl's Spider-Man 3.

For that added touch of awfulness ^note Not a fan of Spider-Man 3, think they tried to do too much at once

Also why is somebody who threatened people at a campus with a shotgun allowed out of jail on bail in the first place?

At least it's established to have been a high bail, probably for exactly that reason (if they couldn't for some reason justify denying it outright).

I'm sure this will be explained but I can't actually think up a reason why Blaine wants to do this unless he knows Amber is Amazi-Girl.

I think there have been hints here and there that the costume is something of a paper-thin disguise for people that know Amber personally?

He asked Faz about Amber's new friends. He likely learnt of Joyce and Becky this way and is doing this solely to make Amber suffer.

Because Blaine is an irredeemable asshole.

Which makes him the perfect fit for this group, I guess.

Hmm. Well, let's see where this takes us.

And this is why I hate church.

Now, see, I have to disagree with you there. Religion is a neutral force; these are bad people because they're bad people, not because they're churchgoers.

Wait, hold on a second. Blaine can't pay for Faz' college fund, but he has money for this? Is that fucker holding out on his new family?

Less holding out on them and more actively spiting Amber, is my thinking.

Carol proves once again that she is a terrible human being.

And Blaine is here, ready to pull the strings and make his daughter's life a living hell.

And the next storyline is certainly going to be very dramatic.

Damn. Just damn.

" Is that fucker holding out on his new family?"

Well why wouldn't he, he just wants to own things (inc. people). Keep Faz at home = controllable, a pet to mold as he pleases.

What does "bond" mean here?

Thanks.

Bail bond

Oh, this is going nowhere good. And I don't know if Becky being under Robin's wing is going to make this better or worse.

Y'know, before I would have said this kind of behavior is unrealistic, now, not so much.

We all knew Blaine was this sort of monster. But Joyce’s mom actively trying to get a man out of prison, a man who tried to kidnap or murder not just her daughter’s best friend, but to also kill her daughter and several of her child’s other friends...

She’s a fucking monster, and I hope Joyce cuts her out of her life. And that Joyce’s dad finds out about this and leaves her.

Joyce's dad is probably just outside the panel. Which is probably the biggest ray of sunshine we have here: he will most likely be able to warn the kids beforehand. Hopefully.
