The spice meter is at 100 and we’re honestly scared that this is only the "edge" (get it?). Things between Josh and Aly intensify, as Aly aims to punish her "Faceless Man" (i.e. Josh) for not B&E into her house and ravishing her. There's a scene with a substantially sized vibrator, and an intentional loss of circulation to Aly's special bit - all in the name of pleasure.

We dive into Aly’s guilt over her mom’s death, plus how Josh and Tyler became bros — forged in the fires of false accusations and Josh’s serial killer father’s reputation.

These pages leave us wondering: Is it romantic? Is it alarming? Are we concerned for everyone involved? Tune in.
