--- Quote from: Scarlet Manuka on 20 Dec 2017, 15:02 ---Does it bother anyone else that Hannelore has been all "I'm not your boss, I don't need a PA" since Tilly arrived, but AFTER the two days has ended and she's shown her the door, she has no problem with "oh hey PA, book us some plane tickets"?
--- End quote ---
It seems like deliberate irony. She ends up needing the PA her mother assigned her, to help her confront her mother about assigning her a PA against her will.
What happens to Tilly now is unclear. Could be a "this was your last assignment" situation.

--- Quote from: WoaLG on 21 Dec 2017, 01:52 ---I've been where Hanners is. (Though my parents aren't a space scientist and a corporate overlord. Just a teacher and a car parts salesman) It's incredibly painful to tell your family that you don't want them in your life
--- End quote ---
Maybe it's because I'm lacking this "You Had To Be There"-Factor, that made this week's arc not have as deep of an impact on me as it obviously had on some of you. But that's cool. It just means that I could not connect with Hannelore as much as you could, in this situation.
Her internal conflict was the main driving force, not the external conflict (the one I was hoping for) with her mother. Another error in judgment on my part. I expected more of Beatrice.
Oh well… let's see now, how the QC crew deals with the emotional fallout. I think Hannelore can use every bit of support she can get right now.
JoeCovenant:
I see nothing here that justifies Tilly sticking around.
The only thing that has been done PA-wise was buying the plane tickets.
Which, as others have stated, does kinda go against Hanners' initial "I don't need a PA"...
(and she still doesn't... she works in a coffee shop).
As for the emotional collapse, I wouldn't read too much about Tilly being the one she collapsed upon... Tilly was the only one *there*.
There's no 'need' for this to turn into any kind of friendship, because Tilly hasn't been a friend. Tilly's been an employee.
Even here, after being told not to, Tilly is STILL calling Hanners "Ma'am"... which isn't what you want when you're letting down all your barriers in such a manner.
BAD Tilly... No biscuit!
(Oh.. and Hanners 'shoved' her mum? B.F.D.!)
Tova:
Okay, so I have a genuine question for those who expected more from Beatrice.
What did you expect Beatrice to say in this situation?

I, for one, expected Beatrice to be more aggressive with Hannelore - Make threats about making her friends 'pay' for her daughter's defiance and make it clear that their suffering would be Hannelore's fault. I wasn't expecting Beatrice to be so shocked at Hannelore coming at her so aggressively that she was shocked into silence.
FWIW, I still think that it is possible that tomorrow's strip will be Beatrice instructing her own PA to begin some kind of 'special project', the exact details of which will be unstated but which is heavily implied to be retribution against Hannelore.
