I think that Jeph has given as a clue in this case, with the structure of Friday's strip. My guess is that next week is going to be a series of flashbacks to something that defines the current status of Marten and Claire's relationship for three panels before flashing back to the present in the Augustus breakfast nook, someone saying something in response to the story and Mrs A offering her views in the last panel.
Examples could include:
* Marten recalling Claire's anger at him over the ONS;
* Mrs A recalling one of Claire's gushing descriptions of Marten;
* Claire expressing her fear that she can't match up to Dora or the other girls in looks.At the end of the week, I think we'll have a cliffhanger of some sort.

The end of week cliffhanger is pretty much a given. I don't see Jeph using flashbacks that heavily, though, probably to avoid overusing them. In this case, telling the story out of sequence made for a bigger surprise and the flashback was probably a way to lampshade the narrative ellipsis left by the nonlinear approach (sorry... it's the Lit major in me).
Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, sort of new person!

Oh god, I didn't think of Claires potential anxiety about looks. I know I'm super worried i don't look "girly enough" when compared to others.
And given her anxiety issues in general, that might be an issues.
At least Clairemom seems nice. I wish my mom was that nice :3

She's only been in two strips and I already love her character. These last couple strips have made me a bit homesick.
