1833 Euphamistic.
I was going to do this page in a couple of different ways, but it would have made it extend out way too much & didn’t want to spend a week on it all. If I could draw faster I would have gone with it, but as it is I wanted to move past this faster.

Close yeah you could say that.
They have moisten each other’s towelettes.
… and the award for least clean use of moist towelettes goes to …
YAY!
Man, that tremulous kind-of smile on Jess’ face is perfect for this situation. A bit of hope, a bit of conveying “I love you (ish)”, and a bit of acknowledging the elephant in the room of her own screw-ups.
Really like the doubleheaded Jess effect from the first two panels!
If Jo is so pissed about what Jess did, then why did she just go along with it?
Because she doesn’t want to have a fight in front of a stranger. Because she doesn’t want to lose Jess. Because being a little bitch about the whole thing doesn’t gain her anything. Take your pick.
It would still be tenting to drop the G-bomb. I don’t think it would seem odd in the conversation but it would be a “F*** you !” addressed to Jess.
It could still go the other way, if Jess pushes the point too far. Stranger-or-no, I’m sure that there’s a limit to just how extreme a lie Jo will assist. Otherwise, I side with any-&-all-parts of the Esteemed Author’s explanation.
Jo is very still, and that’s making me nervous.
