Pointless arguing is one of the three pillars upon which the Internet is built. The other two are of course cat pictures and porn.

How long before Lynn suggests that maybe Didi is the one to reawaken her interest?

Why yes, Ms. Brooke, you are dealing with an idiot.

Yep. Just in case anyone thought that DiDi might somehow be discarding her bubble-headedness.

And I doubt that Lynn could maintain the act long enough to work the "you can (re)awaken my passions" scam. Aside from which, I doubt it would work on DiDi -- she's not competitive by nature. (Now, as a method for seducing Sonya, it'd be great.) I think she'll just keep pushing forward with the current plan, which seems to be to get DiDi to render her relationship with Zii "open", then move in. On which basis, and given her willingness to play the long game, I don't suppose that she's reckoning to get DiDi into bed this night; DiDi has to negotiate that with Zii first. Though if DiDi somehow goes into impetuous "What the Hell" mode, I'm sure that Lynn won't argue.

And actually, as we've carefully been told that this is taking place at the hotel where Lynn is staying, I think that's quite possibly on the writers' schedule. There's no actually much point to panel 1 otherwise, except as filler.

...why would Didi even think that...?

You know what? Never mind. It's Didi - 'nuff said. (my brain is not caffeinated enough to deal with this level of stupid).

Poor Lynn - and she thought Maura was dense.

DiDi's stupidity is a strong weapon, although - in this case - this misunderstanding is understandable, since the aforementioned lack of intellect made sure she failed to notice Lynn's prior suggestive remarks on the drive to the almost-conversation with Zii.

Lynn may regret ever pursuing blonde fellow wrestlers in the first place! Honestly, don't have any sympathy for her; we know DiDi and Zii are hedonists who have chosen to interpret lust as love, but Lynn doesn't - as far as she knows, she is gleefully willing to break apart a functional couple during a moment of discord, just to satisfy her urges again.

I could be wrong - and won't be back to check until Monday, anyway - yet Lynn isn't in an open relationship, right? It was established she had a few f--k buddies, but not that she was in an actual relationship; so, it ultimately seems like another one of her sleazy flirtation tactics that, like with Maura, simply failed to land due to a dense target.
The stunned faces she has are quite brilliant, though.

If I had to guess, the person she had been talking to on the phone (the one she had sent Didi's photo to) is not only her boss, but her main partner. And I wouldn't be shocked to find out it's girl-Ace.

Regardless of that, why should DiDi assume that Lynn’s open relationship was based on a lack of sexual desire, or that it was Lynn who had the low libido? That’s just Olympic-class conclusion jumping, whatever.

Of course, Zii has always been prone to batten on to her first idea about what she thinks she’s heard. Remember her discussion of the Kinsey Scale with Peggy. She leaves a trail of wonderful Giz “Dafuq?” Facial expressions wherever she goes.

Unknown. She has one or more friends-with-benefits arrangements running; one of them may actually be defined as an open relationship. The borderline between the two categories could be quite fuzzy, after all.

I got the feeling that that person was more of an older manager type. I somehow read the tone of the conversation as boss-to-employee, not partner-to-partner.

Okay, so panel 1 shows Lynn is fluent in French, while Didi can hardly string five consecutive English words together at the best of times.

Why the hell would you choose to talk to her in English if you could help it?

A few correctly phrased statements to a waitress hardly counts as fluency.

That aside it seems quite a roller coaster for Lynn this evening. Three strips ago I gave her a 20% chance of scoring. That went to zero when Didi left the car, then just shot back up to 60% as of last issue. Today we have --- 80%? Where would you place it?

Didi just set her up for it. All she has to say now is "let me show you."

The intense gravitational pull of DiDi's breasts must make it really hard for her heart to pump blood all the way to the brain.

That's the only explanation I have.
