ANDI: If you're feeling up for it, why don't we get some milkshakes on the way home, to settle your stomach.
AMANDA: Sure, thanks Mom.
JESSIE: Hey uh... look, I'm really sorry, and I understand if I crossed a huge line and if you don't want me around I--
*smooching*
ANDI: Jess, you were worried for my kid's welfare, and Amanda took the "reveal" well. I'm not mad, you adorable trainwreck.
AMANDA: I think seeing that kiss got me three As.
ANDI: Kiddo, hard stop on that okay? It's not funny.
AMANDA: AArrgh. Okay.
JESSIE: ...Also telling anyone at school is against the rules, okay?
AMANDA: Fine. But I'm getting the BIG milkshake.
AMANDA: Sure, thanks Mom.

The milkshake is lemonade flavor with sourballs mixed in.
Todd is sad.
oh no Todd is lost in thought all alone, that’s not good.
OOOOOOOONNNNNE is the loneliest number that you’ll ever dooooo…
TWOOOOOOOOOOO can be as bad as one, it’s the loneliest number since the number one…
……..oh. right. I’m alone too. Damn, now I made myself sad. Smooth move, girl.. 🤦🏼♀️
One is the loneliest
*all the Beatles suddenly pop out and sing along*
NUMBER!
Vercarlos, thats not a beatles song. its 3 dog night most famously but the was written by harry nIlsson.
I think he’s just tired and lonely.
Meh, one is the number of Unity. All by ourselves we are each enough to be happy. That said, plus one, and plus two are nice modifiers, but one is enough. Hard lesson, but I learned it. Also two is nice also.
I strongly disagree on that ideology (generally speaking), but mental health is a complicated topic. We all have different needs be it companionship, romance, or even not wanting any of the before mentioned at all.
I am ROCK, I am an IIIIIIISLAND…
Now your talking Paul simon and art garfunkle
Re: last panel:
Hello Darkness, my old friend. . .
Why would the Beatles sing back up on a Three Dog Night song?
^ thank you
Poor Todd! He’s a good dad. Hopefully, the echo powers will help Selkie and Amanda bond.
*reads the milkshake flavor*
I have a mighty need…
Hey Todd, you have had so much in your plate for so long, you didn’t even miss her. You two had a lot of fun times. Do you even have the attention to devote to even More stuff, ATM? But you two did have a lot of fun long ago. 8—(
He’s probably thinking about how nice it could’ve turned out with Mina if things didn’t go as they went.
I thought he was feeling guilty that he couldn’t tell Andi the truth.
Oof. So is Todd pining over Andi or Miss Afkami? Or is he worrying about Amanda? Or some combination thereof?
I do hope Amanda takes it seriously that she shouldn’t talk about her teacher’s relationships at school…
How strange, is he having lingering feelings of regret over Andi? It certainly would be something if Todd was the one who wasn’t able to fully move on when initially many people assumed Andi got Amanda back just so she could force her way back into Todd’s life to try and be in a relationship with him again. I’m glad Andi has managed to move on with what happened between Todd and her. She’s also confronted her mother both over Todd and Amanda in general. She’s made a lot of progress.
That’s the look of a good person who was harmed in an unbelievably cruel fashion. He’s watching the life denied to him walk out the front door. His child should be there, every night, not just for visits. Then there’s the person who did all of this being happy.
Todd isn’t a vindictive and cruel person, so he wouldn’t hold it over Andi. But that doesn’t mean it’s still not a soul crushing experience to see the one that denied you living the life you wanted.
It could also be Todd looking guilty because he just lied about their child to Andi.
