I can't stop laughing. I don't know what's funnier: that a murderous eldritch conglomeration of two godly beings is resorting to the most Teenagy Teenage Behavior of all time, or Annie reacting in (I expect) typical ace fashion and responding: "...Cool!" |

When did Gunnerkrigg Court turn into an episode of Riverdale?!
Alright, I guess we’re doubling down on this. Jerrek and Lana need to read different books about romance.

This feels like trainwreck in progress (dramawreck?) and I can't stop watching.

It's super jarring to see a teenage girl be like "you know what, I think I will go out alone in the middle of the night to meet up with that awkward young man who keeps touching me without asking".
Now given that Annie can turn into a lady-shaped ball of fire and shoot plasma beams it's obviously fine for her to be blasé about this - any wrong move she just torches the guy, whatever. But it's still just, like, girl. What are you doing. Go back to bed.

What's jarring about that? Teenagers making less-than-ideal decisions when it comes to their social life and their safety in general is about what I'd expect! |

Time for wacky love triangle
Will Annie realize she loves Lana?
Will Jerek realize he loves Annie?
Will Lana realize she left the oven on?

The clearest way is that Loup tries to irk Annie with... competence? so she is compelled to him now? and it will sooo backfire into Loup's face.
Not that he will be jarred when Lana angrily makes a Drama for being used as a stooge.
Also, I kind of see Annie saying: "Sure, that's good since I also brought some friends along. The more the merrier!" and Kat, Parley and Co appears from the shadows.

'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me there's something going wrong around here played. 👍 I mean csj, not Loup, whose social sophistication is almost equal to the "pretend interest in a second girl to make the first girl jealous" gambit. Even so, he is an animal and this is like watching a cat try to whistle. Edit, an hour later: I am not the most socially sophisticated of critters myself, to be sure. Therefore I just realised with a shudder what very well might have taken place during the cut that has Jerrek strutting and Lana blushing. 🙄 |

Oh god, the tracksuits make it perfect. I sincerely hope Loup gets distracted and goes all in on this. 50 years later he and Lana are grandparents with a nice seaside cottage and a dog and two cats and he's like " Your move, Annie" and she actually is jealous of his idyllic family life. It's super jarring to see a teenage girl be like "you know what, I think I will go out alone in the middle of the night to meet up with that awkward young man who keeps touching me without asking". Well, we are talking about the girl who's gone a-strolling with restless ghosts, mysterious shadow people, Ysengrin, and (worst of all) Jolly Elfsberry. Have we ever seen Annie turn down a chance to do something interesting with somebody shady? Literally, ever? |

Even so, he is an animal and this is like watching a cat try to whistle. The horrible thing is, it might actually work on Annie. She offered Jack a kiss after he told her he was in love with Zimmy, and she was having smexy dreams about Kamlen and Jones after she knew they were both in relationships. Girl likes the unattainable, maybe. Consensual handholding? Spicy. |

That night, Annie is walking ... somewhere. There is light and shadow, but that light may be moonlight, as there's a streetlight shown that isn't lit, which is a sign that not all the technology in the Court is working anymore.
Presumably Annie and Jerrek agreed to meet here at this time, because he shows up too. Annie is happy to hear his voice, but when she also sees Lana, her expression is less happy. Jerrek looks as if he's letting Loup's internal glee at how clever his plan is come through just a slight bit. Lana, on the other hand, just looks very happy.
Annie looks quite astonished, but it's unclear how much of an emotional blow this really is. Jerrek looks straight at Annie and says "girlfriend" in bold. His pupils are small, showing a lot of the whites of his eyes, an intense gaze that would telegraph to Annie that Jerrek's doing emotional manipulation if Annie weren't so oblivious. I don't think Annie's going to run away in tears, but I do think we're going to have an awkward trip to the shore, followed by whatever weirdness will happen when we get there.

Loup sees Annie with Renard and gets angry. So he might think Annie seeing Jerrek with Lana may make Annie angry (revenge!).
Not clear Loup thinks he wants Annie, "I no longer need this fool" then Jerrek instead asked her to join, which got Loup annoyed at Jerrek, "what am I doing?..." Loup dating Lana may be a means to get some control of Jerrek/distance from Annie.
As well, when Jerrek first met Lana, Lana got him to blush, Jerrek probably like Lana. I think this is case of Loup making decisions because Jerrek likes both Lana and Annie and can go either way, doesn't mind if either road is chosen.
If we take Jerrek as Anime harem protagonist, Lana has edge from meeting Jerrek first making him blush, and now becoming "girlfriend", but if Annie was in first episode of anime she still has a chance given situation in between.
As a teen romance novel, Annie is probably in lead as common for the male to first have relationship with the "other woman".

See the power of love can overcome all obstacles. So now that Loup has acquired a girlfriend, he can go to the areas of light.

Tom has surprised us with Annie's emotions in the past, however he usually gives us hints about her "true feelings" including crushes and so on by having her blush, etc. There has been very little of that with Loup - so I'm thinking that what we're seeing here is Annie either playing along with Loup or just trying to be a good friend to an awkward AI and that this isn't so much a "love triangle" as Loup just outsmarting himself.
Now what he's going to do when things don't go his way is unclear, he's still extremely dangerous and arbitrarily cruel, so hopefully nobody will get hurt.

Huh. Annie did show up, as predicted based on her showing up when the other creepy guy asked her to show up for something sketchy. And indeed, Loup is trying to make her jealous, by showing up with a "girlfriend".
Will Annie retreat into her emotionless mask? Will Lana realize she is being used, and Jer[re]k cares not about her? In what way will this attempt to manipulate Annie backfire horribly? Tune in next episode to see!

I honestly don't see any reaction from Annie other than perhaps "Oh, that is so nice for you both!" and move on with the plan of seeing this ocean thingy. If Kat is around, she might be interested in hearing more about New People romances. Yeah... other than that I can't think of anyone who would care. Time for wacky love triangle Will Annie realize she loves Lana? Will Jerek realize he loves Annie? Will Lana realize she left the oven on? I truly read this as "Will Lana realize she left the oven mitt on?" and almost checked the page again. |

My prediction: Annie is gonna pull Lana aside and say, "Hey girl, what the heck, I thought you were mad at him for being overprotective, IoI, congrats though"
