You know, Rhea's a nice addition to the cast. I was a little worried she'd have a little Than Dall going on here. But I'm quite digging the way her mind works.

Thus proves: Rhea is a scamp at heart.

The panty hat is a nice touch; haven't seen that in awhile. XD

Perhaps. Than was certainly fascinated by the film made in the process enough for that to make sense, but it does not explain neither Ysabel readiness to participate in the plan nor Rhea's wisecrack “will you become a milk factory?” “request“ related to that incident.
Well, Ysabel could have participated because of her unenviable position (“considering the current situation, it seems the best course is to cooperate”), but even so Rhea should have known that Alexis' state is a result of the spoor-of-the-moment decision and thus kind of sensitive point for Alexis—yet she went with witticisms anyway. What's up with that?
As I've said: there are some strange gaps in the story. Not something big, but some small inconsistencies. Like a puzzle elements which look like they should fit at first glance yet but which are impossible to actually connect. Something is just missing from the picture.

Than? She's a freak, she saw Alexis as a prize and probably rival, that's why she went to such lengths. Hell from all things considered, she tricked Alexis into BOOST'ing herself up for the hell of it then "sold" her when she was "done with her toy". Maybe she didn't know Rhea and Alexis had a decent past is all. Well that's what I think.

I was referring more to Alexis treatment while she was caught by Than. I could understand why Rhea have not passed anything to Alexis while Alexis was with Than (Alexis does not look like someone who may hide complex plans well), but why to ask Than to basically trick her into growing insanely huge, why to attempt to turn her into a milk factory… only to suddenly lose the interest in all that.
And now Rhea comes to Alexis few months later as if nothing happened, “Prois Fitness” rise and downfall never happened and Than with all her contests and intrigue was just a hallucination and if they still are old friends/lovers (I don't think they are lovers, BTW: the way Rhea pokes fun at Alexis looks more like school pranks rather than anything else)… WFT?
We are missing some vital piece (or pieces?) of the story. Puzzle elements just don't want to add up.

It could be that, Rhea really wanted to help Alexis out you know. Hell I could see them being old lovers/friends that kind of drifted apart on good terms. As for her treatment, seems that Alexis got more comfortable in her position in Cowloon.
Your got me. I could not claim that I expected what's we are seeing here.
Because, well, it does not look like what people on different levels of social ladder would do. More like what old friends/rivals would do (which raises status of Alexis automatically: if she's “old friend” of Rhea and “everyone knows” that she's “old friend” then she's not a “sheep”, obviously).
Makes some sense… except that sharply contradicts with her previous treatment. Rhea's treatment of Alexis shown on the last five pages and her treatment shown in the previous parts are hard to reconcile. How could Rhea ask Than to encourage Alexis' growth “the best they could” and then offer her to become a mindless milk factory if she's as “old friend”?
One possible explanation is misinterpretation. We clearly see that Rhea likes to tease Alexis. If Rhea meant what she meant as some kind of teasing but That took the words as are demand and/or challenge then that could explain the facts which we are observing… at least to some degree. It does not explain why Ysabel went with the Than's plan, etc. Sure, she “just did what Alexis asked her to do, nothing more”, but if the knew that it's all a big misunderstanding then she could have found a way to explain why she could not do what Alexis wants…
I guess few more pages will show us what exactly goes on here, but for now I feel as if I'm looking on the puzzle without a few [vital] pieces.

Shame it's only in Rheas head, since that's just a figurehead.

Told you they go back, still so sure that she's a lion playing on the level of sheep?

Was there any doubt? “Baron von Beefdips” gave everything right away.

Ohkaaay. That's not what I expected at all. People rarely do such things when they have only known each other casually.
About the case when such scene could make sense if Alexis and Rhea go waaay back. May not be all the way to kindergarten but quite a few years back for sure.
The whole thing becomes more and more convoluted…

Well I guess the word disconnected gives everyone most of their answers.

Oh my gosh. That last panel may be one of my favorite panels, up there with boob-monster and Kay's butt reveal. Such perfect, flawless white skin, the amazing squish of her boobs, her frantic pose and blush, and that heavy swinging udder. Amazing.
