And here we go. I didn't want to push any buttons about "Can Emily keep a secret?", so I went the "Because I Got High" route.

Or something like that...

[WAYF]

I'm hoping for not too much drama, because too much drama leads to people getting unreasonably angry at Jeph, which could go especially bad very quickly, given the subject that he's dealing with here.
As such, I'm hoping that Emily's idolization of Claire will be enough for her to keep it a secret.

Incidentally, I didn't say this last week, but panel 4 Claire in Thursday's strip is seriously good art. Even if Friday's strip hadn't accidentally gone up before Thursday's, I'm sure everyone would have known exactly what Claire was about to say just based on her facial expression.

[Carl-E]

Guess which choice I made...

Someone quote the poll? Tapatalk and all.

Darn, no "a hill high on Pintsize" option.

[LookingIn]

I think Jeph might be setting us up for the inevitable Thanksgiving cliffhanger...Unless Dale/Marigold or Angus/Faye can fill the gap with a cliffhanger I think we might have Claire/Marten/Emily involved story until the break.

[Pilchard123]

FAYE: "I think I'm pregnant."

[Zebediah]

Well, of course he's setting it up. The only question in my mind is whether it will be a Dale/Marigold plot twist or a Marten/Claire plot twist. At this point I'd guess it will be something between Dale and Marigold. Either they kiss or get into a horrible fight. Maybe both.

[cesium133]

I'd say 50% chance of a Dale/Marigold plot twist, and 40% chance of a Marten/Claire plot twist, and a 5% chance of a Dora/Tai plot twist.

[Pilchard123]

What's the other 5%?

[Carl-E]

New character? 

Besides, it's 2 1/2 weeks away - plenty of time for all of those! 

[cesium133]

What's the other 5%?

ANAL

(click to show/hide)

Come on, you had to know that was coming.   

[Kugai]

Thank you Pintsize.

[Method of Madness]

FAYE: "I think I'm pregnant."

Unthinkable. Puce condoms don't fail.

[Is it cold in here?]

The word you're looking for is "Inconceivable".

[GarandMarine]

...are you sure we can't have the pun jar?

[Method of Madness]

...fine, I'll allow it.

[GarandMarine]

Good. That last one was terrible, so I was pregnant with anticipation over whether or not the jar would be reborn.

[pwhodges]

What's the other 5%?

Pintsize.  There's always Pintsize.

[Arancaytar]

Art-style is subtly different today. Can't place it, but it's especially visible in the first two panels. Darker lines, maybe?

[mustang6172]

That poll needs to be multiple answer.

[Near Lurker]

Well, my fears are alleviated. 

...and also Claire's "if anyone asks..." stance makes me sad.  I don't think I'm alone in thinking its going to bite her in the ass, and what makes it worse is that Jeph's almost certainly not going to go there, which is just going to leave the eternal sense something terrible will happen the moment the cameras stop rolling.

[Method of Madness]

So Emily won't tell anyone unless someone asks if she can keep a secret. (She can apparently only keep one at a time!)

[pwhodges]

Emily's heart is in the right place - but is that enough??

[Method of Madness]

I hope so. I really, really do.

[GarandMarine]

Oh dear. Cute though.

[Zebediah]

Emily at least has the sense to ask if it's a secret. That's encouraging.

I wonder if she's going to assume that Clinton doesn't know, since Claire didn't mention that he does?

[Neko_Ali]

The trouble is that a lot of the time Emily's mouth seems to be engaged just slightly ahead of her brain...

[jwhouk]

Dithering issue, methinks.

[Rghfrgl]

If someone asks though don't they already know the answer anyway?

But if it's any comfort nobody noticed at a gay wedding that included people in the sex industry so it's doubtful anyone will.

[Is it cold in here?]

Decent people wouldn't say anything even if they did see something.

[Mr. Doctor]

Heh, based on body language (last panel) I'd think she's just messing with Claire but then again... Emily is different so I have no clue.

[VeraLapsa]

Even if the secret gets out I doubt that any of the gang will have a problem with it, but Claire might not be able to handle the thought of everyone finding out well, I really hope if it happens Martin will be there to guide her back to us.

[cesariojpn]

Twist subtext: Everyone/Someone mistakenly thinks Emily is a Lesbian, and has the hots for Claire due to some out of context chatter from Emily.

[WAYF]

... Ok Emily, you've got one shot at this.

I get that people make mistakes, and Emily makes quite a few, but accidentally telling someone a secret is the kind of mistake you can't fix. There's no going back.

It's probably just as well that everyone in the cast would be totally cool with the idea, as far as we know.

[Method of Madness]

That wasn't Emily betraying a secret, that was calling out Marten for lying to his friend/boss.

[KOK]

But still a mistake. She heard him promise not to tell. Techically she made no such promise, but she should have known to keep it even so.

[Method of Madness]

Did she hear? She seemed rather preoccupied with her smoothie.

[Is it cold in here?]

Even if the secret gets out I doubt that any of the gang will have a problem with it, but Claire might not be able to handle the thought of everyone finding out well, I really hope if it happens Martin will be there to guide her back to us.

Welcome, new person!

Agreed, they're all commendably open-minded. Claire already has enough anxiety issues for an Ativan prescription, so you're on solid ground about her reaction. (Oh, "Marten", please).

[ZoeB]

The word you're looking for is "Inconceivable".

No, impregnable.

[ZoeB]

What I hope... is that Claire will do some more healing. The worst comes to pass, and it turns out to be no biggie.
The QC verse is not this one.
She might be able to ditch the Ativan. I hope so, anyway.

[KOK]

The word you're looking for is "Inconceivable".

No, impregnable.

This is getting unbareable.

[KOK]

Even if, as I belive is the case, none of the characters we have come to know will give Claire any kind of trouble if the secret gets out, they are not the whole world. Or even all of the world that Claire has to interact with.

[Akima]

Cars make boring presents. Now a motorcycle... that would be cool.

[Mr_Rose]

I dunno… maybe it's a flying car?
Or a self-driving robocar…
Ooh, I know! A self-flying robo-hovercar!

[techkid]

Jeph would not have attracted such a diverse range of readers if he was going to set Claire up in any terrible way. Still, Emily... don't mess this up!

I dunno… maybe it's a flying car?

With May in control. Couldn't say whether that would be epic, or marked down under "cause of death". Possibly both?

I like "marked under cause of death"
