She ran away again
Seems like Pete is opening another can of worms (that's the idiom, right?).
It seems like ever since "The Big Announcement" Pete has been expanding the universe - almost as if to crush every hope of anything being resolved before "The Big Date".
First, The Circle - starting from a simple intermission to the R&D-wars - gets expanded into a half-year-colossus. Backstory for Minion Master, backstory for the vampire clans, introduction of a new fraction (Bloodkeepers) and history for them, too.
Next, The Crappers started as an interlude about gambling and exploded into introducing the Mr. Needles-party and discovering a secret about bad luck.
At least The Road Nerds was pretty straightforward with the babies-and-marriage-question. And it only took a few weeks.
Now, The Mystery Woman is back. As the queen, this seemed like a return to the R&D-wars. And almost immediately, the story meanders to the Zalias' family problems.
There's something to be said about Just-in-Case-Ich: Although that story does not advance the Sluggyverse-plot, it doesn't use weeks to open up sideplots that may need months to resolve.
I'm started to be reminded of the Gargoyles-Avalon-plot: Many of these episodes served as pilots to side-series. Not all of them became series and none of them in the same medium (TV Show); some made it as comics/graphic novels.
