It seems to me that if we're seeing "them" at the same time, "together", one should have all-white hair and one all-black hair (probably "Al" would get the black hair, since he's the one wearing white!).
[And is this Cass playing catch-up, so we should have the "Thursday" strip on Thurs or Fri rather than Sunday or Monday?]

Chloe promised to get Teddy a girlfriend in exchange for his eternal soul. Doesn't quite work if he happens to get a genderfluid boyfriend instead >_>
Probably have to run it through underworld lawyers first, but I think we have a solid case.
1) Chloe, for the purposes of the contract, was meant to BE the girlfriend! Her ostensible aim to find someone else for him is an attempt in itself to weasel out of the contract, not fulfil it.
2) Underworld lawyers don't play fair. If they did, a single, "five minute" - and lethal! - screw wherever the "girlfriend" happened to appear would not constitute a "girlfriend" in any reasonable person's book, just a black widow's idea of a one-night stand. While you'd think if Alchemy regarded herself - while female - as his "girlfriend in her heart" at any point it should trigger the escape clause, her genderflipping would probably work against Teddy's case, rather than for it...
