Gladstone:
I dunno, I can't see Marten freaking out over it.  Probably because he has been too chill.  You're right about that.  Aside from the contrived phone call misunderstanding during Faye's relapse, everything else in the relationship has gone so well that I can't imagine an "I love you" from either character feeling anything but milquetoast at this point.

jheartney:
Not sure about you all, but to me the last panel of Friday's comic didn't necessarily look like it was going to a good place. With Emily, you have to be willing to sit back and enjoy the ride; being able to appreciate the unexpected is essential. But Clinton seemed to be reverting to uptight form. The Clinton-Emily pairing could end up fizzling, and from Clinton's point of view it might look as if Claire's meddling is what finished it off.

Bear in mind that smooth relationship sailing doth not necessarily an interesting webcomic make. If Claireten is all warm fuzzies, somebody else may need to have troubles in order to balance out.

Radium_Coyote:
I don't think this works out how most of you think.  Claire says "Mission accomplished."

Meanwhile, Clinton is being exposed to ways in which which tradition "this worked out" are utterly meaningless.

He's in love with Emily, whether he knows it or not, but she's not in any sense previously sailed shores.  Nothing anyone has previously done COULD have prepared him.  Here's the scary thing:

As his FIRST LOVE: this is the one who sets the bar.  If it does NOT work out, Emily is who you have to beat, to be Clint's lover.

BenRG:
Okay, whilst it's cute to see Claire in a bubbly mood and it's a bit of character development to learn that she's got a talent for sneakily arranging stuff (including her brother's life, if he's being indecisive) this may not end well.

Claire's intentions are good: She feels that the only way to get Clinton out of his indecision loop and comfort zone is to put him in a situation where he has no choice but to talk to Emily. However, this could blow up in her face if Clinton does something stupid or says something hurtful because he's off balance. Then she'd be partially responsible for her best friend's heart being broken and her brother's nose being broken... again.

Maybe and maybe not. This could just be a jump-away interlude to explain exactly how Clinton and Emily ended up in the park together. We could go back to the other couple tomorrow.

Personally, the thought that Claire and Clinton met during Claire's lunch break is fairly sound. She and Marten could be going back to the library as it could be Emily's day off.

FWIW, whilst I think that we'll be switching back to Emily and Clinton, it is possible that we will be getting a set of update strips on the Claireten ship (especially if there has been a big time skip and Jeph wants to emphasise that in the narrative). However, as I say, I think going back to Emily and Clinton is more likely.

Kugai:
Velllllly schneekey Claire

And well done.
