We haven’t seen Nikki for a while, which is a shame since I find her progress in the strip entertaining. Fortunately, it looks like Ms. Shui has made sure that Paul will remain her guardian for the foreseeable future.
Rhapsodies
The “technicality” of Nikki being part of the Circle Band continues. As long as nobody thinks to “fire” her it will continue that way. The department regards her as too much of a useful asset.
You’re In a Good Mood
Nikki’s still staying with Nancy and Michelle. It’s been long enough that Nancy has learned to be suspicious whenever she’s in a good mood. It’ll still be a while before Nikki’s parents arrive in Homestead.

Learning Experience
Nancy is clearly annoyed that Dielle got the drop on her regarding kid wrangling. To make matters worse, showing how annoyed she is would spoil Bonnie and Jules’s “learning experience”. Nikki finds all of this very amusing.
