I don't think either of them are really over or underthinking this. They just have different views on the situation. Rey is perfectly okay being bound to Annie. Annie, however, is concerned not only by how easily she deserted Rey to her father, but also about how little control she's had lately. If she has direct power over Rey, that lack of self-control could lead to problems. Rey will probably spend more time with Annie than with Kat, and Kat is very unlikely to be giving Rey orders, so the friendship between him and Annie is better leveled than before.
My prediction is that Rey will, eventually, get his true body back. How the Court reacts to such a development would be interesting to see...

I think Annie is quite correct to get scared of the responsibility of having such a great power over someone. She begins to understand what that responsibility means. Rey is a little blinded by affection and his desire to keep his emotional bond with Annie intact. Forgiving or not isn't the issue here. The issue is, does Annie have the shoulders for such an absolute responsibility on someone? In her current state, the answer is "most definitely not".

Annie's level of self-guilt is still quite a bit worrying here. Her comments in the last panel are relatively accurate, though.
Please, for the love of Coyote, let Annie regain some self-confidence soon...
Also, Renard continues to be cute in "panel" two.

Plus we have a Chekov's self-defence order to be fired again sometime soon before Annie regains control. |

In most stories "we can figure something out later" usually means something will happen and later will never come. But in this story, I think Annie may conclude that she doesn't ever want ownership over Renard again. And that may resolve the Court's current Renard Crisis and they may get off Annie's case.

It may have been to show just how much Kat doesn't trust Tony, but I think an altercation is more likely. |

Nothing stings more than forgiveness, when you haven't forgiven yourself.

We are back to the discussion Annie and Rey were having on page 8, when they were interrupted by Kat. Now we are back to Annie wanting to hold off on owning Rey. More than ever Annie needs some therapy and counciling. |

Plus we have a Chekov's self-defence order to be fired again sometime soon before Annie regains control. Everyone seems to consider it obvious that it'll happen since Kat gave that self-defence permission. I've longed classified that particular "Chekov's gun" under the red herring tag. Anthony isn't likely to attack or hurt Rey. We were meant to worry about that possibility at the time, when we had no clue about his motivations, but that's no longer relevant. I don't think that line was ever there to foreshadow an attack on Anthony. It rather established the fact that Rey's safety wasn't Annie's priority at the time. It underlined her betrayal and inability to protect Rey from her father, and we see the aftermath of that in today's page, among others. |

And the amusing part here is that while Annie chats with Renard out-of-body, everyone not ether-aware in that room is writhing on their seats, consumed by flames of futile curiosity.  |

My feeling, at this point, is that Annie is getting her self-control back, but hasn't yet got the confidence that goes with it.
'Checkovs gun' is currently in the box with Schrodinger's cat. There shouldn't be a problem, so long as no lids are opened...

I just realized this chapter isn't about Annie failing to launch with Winsbury. I feel like I missed the whole point. I think the fact that Rey backing off and giving Annie space to have another relationship is a huge growth and maturity moment for him, and that when she "turned Winsbury down", he felt like it validated his wish to be hers again, but she had to tell him it wasn't the right time for her. It all feels a bit sickeningly like when my ex-husband told me shortly after our divorce that he thought about it and decided he understood and wouldn't be upset when I started to date again, only to have that relieved look when I told him I wasn't really thinking about doing that yet. Believe me, the company of my friends was my best support at that time, too. Rey referring to himself as the "old fox" seems like a weary retreat into the shadows and isolation of his past, but perhaps he, too, is better off reconnecting to his true self.

I continue to be confused, and to find your responses interestingly antagonistic. Since you are confused I will clarify. You posted an unnecessary and meaningless reply to Speedwell's post. Speedwell called you out on it and you've confirmed that you don't know when it is better to say nothing at all. Now you can prove me wrong by dropping the conversation. |
