I see a lot of assumptions being bandied about in this thread...

Like the assumption that Wanda's spell on Jillian has been broken...

*wry grin* When I look at plots nowadays I look at them in a rather Whedonesque fashion.

A possibility that I haven't seen anyone else suggest that I can foresee following the last panel where Jillian and Ansom are almost close enough to kiss...

A bloodied dagger to the midsection during a kiss and snatching the pliers away from Ansom. His guard will be totally down.

Ansom would be wounded and left alive with a maelstrom of emotions that will hinder his strategic and tactical planning.

Will this be what happens? Maybe not, but just wanted to point out that nothing that I've read people write about what has to happen next is established until the next comic is actually posted.
