I wouldn't say "insanely" for Sandra, but I would for the luck she just had.

Is it just me or does Zoe now come across as Genre Savvy? :-?

Well, she has a point. In fact, she may be one of the few people in the Ma3 universe to point out that other characters there are possibly insane. That verges on breaking the fourth wall.

Or Leaning on the Fourth Wall. Is being Genre Savvy considered Leaning on the Fourth Wall? :-?

I think Zii has pointed out that Yuki is insane. Repeatedly.

And Yuki pointed out when Amber was acting crazy

True enough. Though the big thing with Yuki is that she is insane even in in-universe terms... Which in turn made her comment on Amber a bit of accidentally hypocritical humour.

Yep, a flat out run of good luck and it's best that Sandra get reality checked before she lets it get to her head.

I wonder if "see you next Tuesday" was a coincidence or if Lavali planned it for some reason because under that cheery exterior she is mad at Sandra (like sparking a revolt causing a whole redesign)

Also, luck is very important, ask Master Chief petty officer John 117 and Cortana.

Still...you jelly Zoe?

Lavali planned what?

As to Zoe - I don't see any signs of jealousy there. Well, she's annoyed at Sandra, and you can always assume that there's some jealousy involved if you insist - you might conceivably be right. It can be annoying if someone else does well by blind luck in a job where you've got on by effort and skill. But mostly, Zoe seems like someone who's confident in her own abilities and doesn't have much to be jealous about. She's successful and trusted enough for Domenico to ask her to train a new model, after all.

"See you next Tuesday" is a stealth insult, based on spelling out a four-letter word. You have to interpret "see you" as C-U, and take the initials of "Next Tuesday".

I think it was totally innocent on Lavali's part.

So stealthy it's actually invisible. In fact, so stealthy it's probably not there.
