I'd happily never see Tilly again and have this be a simple Hannelore vs. Beatrice confrontation. However, Hannelore is a much nicer person than me. This involves Tilly, and so she is keeping Tilly involved. They are both being manipulated by their respective (ha!) parents and both deserve to respond to that. My chief fear is that this arc concludes in the pair of them telling said parents to piss off and stop using them as pawns in their petty power plays, and then high-fiving into the sunset together.

And don’t tell me "It’s for character development." or "It’s for getting to know Tilly." No. Character development happens during plot, not apart from it. And also, we didn’t really learn anything important we didn’t already know after the first two or three strips involving Tilly, now did we?

It's for character development - Hanners', for example.

Could you elaborate on that?
In what way did Hannelore make an important step of growth or change, that could not have been shown during a trip to and a confrontation with her mother?

Geeez, people really have dug their trenches here. I personally was initially very anti-Tilly, but I've come to kindasorta like them. Yeah they are weird and too intense, but heck, that's what seems to have taught Hannelore about assertiveness and all in all.... I dunno, they're not that bad a person to me (I say that because if being too intense and failing to listen to what people say when you're overeager makes you a bad person I'd be Hitler by now). Sure, there are other storylines that we all want to see, but even disregarding Tilly, this is important for Hannelore.

Of course she COULD do that. But since she'd be speaking to her mother ABOUT Tilly, it seems a little rude to do so without them.

Whilst I agree with this post in principle, I don't think that the upcoming confrontation will be exclusively or even mostly about Tilly. It is more specifically going to be more about Beatrice's tendency to use people (even close family members) as insensate tools to support her own ambitions and whims and also about Hannelore's unwillingness to tolerate this in her life anymore.
Tilly's role is probably going to be as the package to be 'returned to sender' but something tells me that this is not going to be possible, likely for reasons of Tilly's own safety.

For me, Tilly dug the parallel trenches themselves. First it was the pushy salesperson personality that won't take no for an answer and plays on people's emotions to get what they want without any regards to what their target wants. That sort of person has earned my white hot hatred. Then as we got to know Tilly better we realized they aren't some slick sales person... They're just an over-eager clingy people pleaser who will do anything, say anything, be anything to get people to like them. While that doesn't generate in me the same hate that pushy sales people do, it's still not someone I want to be around for any length of time.
