I honestly doubt that Monica is doomed. Stabbing isn’t always fatal. It might be the only to snap Monica out of something at the critical moment.
I wonder if Monica’s part is critical to the machine functioning as it is currently. We know that the machine needs to be set on a different phase than it is running now. If Monica “fails” at the precise moment, while the others are ready to snap it into correct phase, then the stabbing could be the metaphysical version of giving the machine a good swift kick.
Methinks that after whatever happened last time through, Brandi decided to wipe her mind of the memories… though I think now we may know what Brandi’s nightmares are about.
Not necessary; Brandi and Bud never retained their memories after a reset. Only Jin did that, because she was present when Maya attempted to destroy the machine.
Okay, this begins to sound (cue Tocatta and Fugue in D, performed by E Power Biggs) Ominous
Uh how abnormal am I if I use that kind of organ music to relax and focus?
Not abnormal at all by my (comparatively abnormal) standards. 😀
Am I the only one who is starting to picture Brandi with a white cat in her lap? If she starts wearing a monocle, Monica is doomed.
The “Yeah yeah yeah” part cracked me up the most – especially Bud’s “I know, I know, big deal blah blah” expression there. XD
tottally with ya there

Brandi is kind of an evil genius, but all the squinting from a monocle would add lines to her face.
Wow. If Bud’s scared of Brandi…now *I’m* nervous.
The machine needs Blood! BLOOOOOOOD!!!!!! :O
Likely as some sort of catalyst, and only Monica’s blood contains the right chemical. Or something. I’m totally guessing.
This is starting to get fairly interesting….
Great expression on Shelly in Panel #3! 🙂
I have to ask if we need to be worried about Monica getting stabbed. Didn’t she get riddled by bullets when she went through the portal?
But with Bud doing the stabbing, I guess that would be a different thing.
and what it says is… You are going to have to stab monica and then use her blood to feed the deamons
It’s all clear to me now. They are going to force feed Monica a tuna and pineapple pizza…
What a hiorrble idea!
. . .
What kind of sick inhuman monster puts pineapple on a pizza?
😉
…and, speaking from the future, ur, you aren’t nearly scared enough.
