Damn, someone actually got one over on Fran, at least for now. Outsmarting her may not be hard but usually the universe conspires to foil them as brutally as possible anyway. If we ever see these two again I don't like his chances.
Great chapter. You're expecting a fucked up twist, so not having a twist ends up being surprising in itself, and then it makes you think about how fucked up the situation already was.
