It's Bleminda. The two-tone hair and N7 (BioWare) jacket are giveaways.

I wonder if the joke will be that she finally gets Bleminda's name right.
And while that's not violating the rule about being behind the counter I don't think Dora will approve.
ChipNoir:
Comedy is pain. Tilly is 'a' pain. Ergo, she is comedic gold.
Because I'll be honest, I'll take this as a welcome relief over worrying about the genuine pain that any emotional meltdowns forth coming from either Marten/Claire or Bubbles/Faye may yet herald given the current turn of events.
I'm along for this ride, at least for another week or two.
MrNumbers:
Hopefully Teddy isn't a 'real' character, but is like the Vespa Avenger; Someone amusing for a few strips to show character growth and where other characters are at, then disposed of and never seen or heard of/from again.
BenRG:
I think that things are going in the direction that I first speculated towards the start of the arc. Tilly is going to be so annoying and intrusive that Hannelore won't be able to tolerate her for a whole morning, let alone 48 hours. She'll be fired and on her way back to Beatrice with a blistering performance review of the sort that can be summed up as "goodbye career".
IMO it is only then, with her career in ruins and the very real possibility that she's about to have a protracted period of unemployment, will we meet the real Tilly and find out what Jeph wants to do with her. I can see three possibilities:
* She's actually quite nasty and, when fired, proceeds to be very verbally abusive to Hannelore: "This is what your mom really thinks of you, you defective failure!"
* Hannelore had been 'last chance saloon' and, facing the total ruin of her dreams, Tilly breaks down and ends up under Winslow's guard to ensure that she doesn't do anything stupid;
* Tilly doesn't have much pride; we have a wholly skin-crawlingly embarrassing moment when she begs for her job and even offers 'personal services' in exchange for mercy. As well as tugging Hannelore's heart-strings, it makes one wonder just how bad things at ECI might be.Yeah, there's the possibility that she may just shrug and walk away if fired but, somehow, that would be an anticlimax. I can't see Jeph going that way.
The observer is definitely Bleminda (note the N7 hoodie). Given the amount of weirdness she's encountered at Coffee of Doom, mostly at Emily's hands, she probably doesn't think what's happening right now is particularly different!
P.S.:
I agree with the opinion I saw on the Subreddit that Tilly isn't actually a very good PA. Why isn't she out buying Hannelore's new 'phone? Why isn't she exploring the town and spending time learning new ways to do her "boss's" bidding by identifying locations and persons of interest? Hanging around Hannelore like a love-struck puppy is not good PA behaviour! I'm wondering if she is actually a hopeless loser who no-one wants hanging around ECI's HQ and Beatrice is using Hannelore as garbage disposal. Alternately, maybe she's the daughter of a senior board member who wants her to have a 'responsible' job but lacks the actual ability to do so; Beatrice used the Dilbert Principle - 'Promote' her to a job where she can do no damage other than to herself.
