I was not fully sure and wondered if punch bot had a brother (yep, it took me a while to realise AI robots might look similar anyway).
Faye's response with facial decoration must have caused some problems with maintaining his alibi. Not everything is solved with a pair of glasses.

I really like the way loose end are tied up for once.
I don't like movies that end with 'villain is dead, hooray, we're done'. A series of Dutch 'young adult books' I greatly enjoyed (Bob Evers series) was very good at ending adventures properly. Most times the next books would start with a chapter in which the three heroes were busy sorting out the mess left after their last adventure (car has to be hoisted out of canal, who owned that house we accidental burned down, and what can we do with that bag of money?).

Punchbot didn't need to be there, obviously. He just loves to punch.

Also, he doesn't need the glasses. He just wears them so that his clients take him more seriously. Hey, it's a tough gig when you're a Punch Bot and everyone assumes you're all brawn and no brain.

BARTHOLOMEW Punchbot???? Who knew?   
Of course, if the firm is called Punchbot & Punchbot, it would get messy if they were both just called Punchbot...

There is a definite Fight Club reference in this: A middle-class professional AI who needs the emotional release of mindless violence every now and then to handle the stress and tedium of his job. Creepybot, kindly, realised that he'd be happier in a different job and offered him the chance to take on a new career and make something big of it.

Know what I need? I need Angus. I can't wrap my head around QC anymore. I continue to read it in hopes of Jeph returning to older characters and filling in all the blanks. Don't get me wrong, I love some of the new characters but I am also severely missing older characters that  really shouldn't have vanished. I expected Angus to fight for his relationship with Faye. I really wanted to see him drop everything to be with her. Not that I don't want Angus to succeed in his career  or anything but I think it would have been good for Faye to see real love like that. I can't be the only one wishing for that can I?
