Charlie suggested this idea to Jillian, so he had to have experience of how this thing works (nobody in Transylvito had any idea what was going on) - he had to know of it to suggest it.. So there might be a link between Charlie cracking Saline IV's alliance with gobwins and what just happened here, as well as the shenanigans with the gobwins in GK right now.
Charlie might also be granted this power through the arkendish? Mass thinkagram to renegotiate with a new side? I dunno... he's tricky like that.
