Well, the writers had to get her out of the castle somehow... Guess she won't be going back for another few years.

Not the way I wanted her out of the Castle

So, if Castle Wulfenbach if going explode-y, does this mean the last few years of repairing the damn place are pointless?

The Castle and Castle Wulfenbach are not the same. :) One is land based and the other.... isn't. :)

So where did everyone else go? Krosp, Violetta? And the million dollar question. WTF happened in Mechanicsburg.

Well, can't say that I expected Agatha to remain incapicitated for long. After living with The Other in her head, she doesn't take very well to anyone attempting to control her.

Ah Tweedle, she may need you alive for the moment, but not in control.

Just the look and feel of her interaction with Krosp and that woman (forgot her name) screams Other. I don't think Agatha would act that way to them.

Nah, she's just pissed...

What are the bets that Mister Whatshisname (or what remains after they are done) will soon be giving details on how he tinkered with her and where she can read up on the process...

Tweedle is smarter than the average bear.

I'm a little confused by who is addicted to whom.

Initially Tweedle made Agatha addicted to him.

Agatha knocked the over bearing jackanapes out....

.....And has now made Tweedle addicted to a (Or perhaps ALL?) Wasp-eater?

So;

Assuming Agatha doesn't want to be addicted to Tweedle, but still hasn't figured out how to completely remove the tinkering done by Tweedle, dose that mean Agatha is also addicted now to Wasp-eaters?

She is addicted to one particular Wasp-eater.

Which is now held hostage by Tweedle...

Is anyone else bored of this plotline already?

Just like how pinky wore out her welcome long before she actually went away, but without the intervening business of being introduced as a regular character before becoming an annoying timewaster?

Ah, good old Violetta. If only she combined her slight of hand skills with stabbing skills she could assassinate bad guys with ease. She could have killed Pinky and Tweedle easily.

In her defense, she is related to Tweedle, and he might be crucial to help Agatha understand and undo what he did. Also, if she killed Tweedle, he might have killed the Wasp-eater, and this means Agatha dies... Saving your client comes before killing his foes, if those two aren't the same in the current situation.

I'm still reckoning they've gone into the future, so violetta's had a few years to practice. The hints are pretty heavy.

You should go back a few pages, and you'll find out that Violetta, that weasel and Krosp fell through that portal with Agatha and Tweedle...
