Who wouldn't?

Surprised Tatiana would be so sassy knowing what Zoe is capable of.

Did Zoe just imply Domenico has had crabs before?

We've seen that everyone isn't intimidated by her. Domenico isn't, neither are Cammi and Eva.

Besides, Tatiana works for Domenico first and so does Zoé. So she's got the boss behind her.

Considering that Zoe has her rooming with Sandra and sleeping in a bunk bed no less by her design Tatiana should take Zoe a little more seriously. And if Domenico isn't intimidated by her then why did he tell Tatiana to lie about his whereabouts immediately after being told she was asking for him? And if Eva doesn't fear Zoe then why did she abruptly change plans when Lukas imagined what Zoe might do if she found out that she was targeting her protege. As for Cammi I think Zoe tolerates her insubordination as long as she performs her duties efficiently. You could say the same of Tatiana, but when her lust and jealously get in the way she's not really being that efficient. And on this latest matter she really should be working with Zoe instead of enabling Domenico's latest flight of fancy. She might not get fired, but I can see Zoe making her life miserable.

Under normal circumstances I'd say no, but considering he's one of the few characters I've seen in the Menage a 3 universe that has axillary hair that might be possible.

Cammi looks remarkably concerned in the last panel. I guess she has a degree of fondness for Lavali.

As to Tatiana - she's working directly for Domenico here. So far as she's concerned, she's an extension of his will. That means total confidence and no concern for her own safety.

She's only going along with Zoé's arrangement on Domenico's say-so (1st panel here).

Likely because he already knows what she's gonna say, and he doesn't wanna hear it. He's basically screening a phone call.

You mean the same one that belted her in public?

The only thing Zoé has on her (besides brawn) is the threat of an old photo, and we know the threat's empty 'cuz Zoé said the photo doesn't exist. It hasn't stopped Eva from going after her, regardless.

Wrong on several of these, we already saw Zoe get the better of Eva, which is why she resorts to trickery. We also saw her get the better of Domenico.

You also forget that the reason Tatiana bunks with Sandra, which she's not happy with, is because Zoe decreed it.

The only reason Tatiana is cocky here is because Zoe isn't right next to her and doesn't know where they are.

Who's carrying who in that last panel you linked to? That still ended in Zoe's favor.

They've gone tit-for-tat. Or did you forget...?

And you've forgotten who Zoé works for. Tatiana only went along with it because Domenico agreed to it. Notice whose order she said she was following.

Yet, Eva wasn't backing down in that scene. She was out muscled, not intimidated.

I'm just wondering if she wants guns and money as well, 'cuz those may be harder to get than the lawyer. Cheaper, but still harder to get...

Might as well give author's word on this one.. Zoe did not decree for Tatiana to live with Sandra, Zoe has no reason to have Tatiana living with Sandra, Domenico however does need Tatiana to live with Sandra to be his eyes on her kinda thing...

However, the bunk bed is Zoe's idea.

Always nice to get Word Of God on a contended subject.

I read her expression more as "Wait... she's naked, in close proximity to Domenico, mentions crabs and... Oh dear."

She is indeed a wonderful artist who could doubtless turn her hand to anything, but from what I've seen, I don't get the feeling that she's very interested in depicting some of those bits in all their wrinkly Lovecraftian glory.

Yes and while Eisu has confirmed that the decision to have Tatiana to live with Sandra was Domenico's the bunk bed idea was Zoe's so I stand by my statement that she can make her life miserable if she so chooses.

Likely because he already knows what she's gonna say, and he doesn't wanna hear it. He's basically screening a phone call.
Because he is intimidated by Zoe, sexually. She overturned his decision to interfere with Sandra's career and he knows she can do it again after "vigorous negotiations."

Because she is intimidated by Zoe, professionally. Eva doesn't fear Zoe's physical strength, but her clout in the modeling business. Seriously a brawl would actually make Eva look like a victim of a bully and win her sympathy. Eva fears what Zoe could do to her career if she really went gunning for her which is why she decided to go along with Lukas' plan.
