Indeed and it's also a nice reminder to everyone complaining about how ludicrous the previous plot arc was that there were others.

Ugh... Oh God... Okay, I'll try this.

Okay, Steve is actually an ex-CIA spook. His last big mission (against an anonymous Dr Evil/Bloefeld-style villain) left him pretty much burned out. In continuity terms, the mission seems to have taken place between Marten and Faye moving in together and Faye's 'relationship' with Sven breaking down. However, the villain had a Femme Fatale/Black Hat Bond Girl sidekick called Tortura, who apparently threatened to torture Steve before he seduced her - I suspect that her heel-face turn was key to the villain's defeat. This is a link to the flashback summary strip.

Anyway, when we next see her, Tortura has evidently escaped the custody of The Company and has tracked Steve down. She knew it was over between them but wanted to say goodbye to Steve before continuing her escape plan.

Now we find out what her escape plan was. She's settled down somewhere and is attempting to get started as a children's author of all things. However, she's having second thoughts about her boyfriend and wanted to talk to Steve about it (he being the closest thing to a friend she has... who is still alive at least). As far as Marten and Cossette know, she's just a weird ex-girlfriend of Steve's. They couldn't be more wrong!  :-D

bhtooefr:
To be fair, Cosette now has an idea, most likely...

Zebediah:
So Tortura just showed up unannounced in Steve's kitchen this morning. Didn't even bother to knock, because she didn't come in through the door anyway. Steve is completely unfazed by this because he knows how Tortura rolls.

Note that she said ".. and tries to kill me." I think she knows she  will be more than a match for him.  But it would damage their  relationship all the same.

Also -- Cosette's eyes! Having been brown, blue and grey, they now have no colour at all!
