This could be interesting. It occurs to me that Zola has never really faced Agatha in a fight. She's only fought Lu, who Zeetha says is lousy at hand to hand (only the post revivification rush plus not wanting to hurt Agatha made it a challenge). --Zerogee 04:20, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Zola has the advantage of mobility where Agatha is being hindered by the plant's tentacles. Higgs and Zeetha are probably close by. Mad Spark 16:31, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure Higgs and Zeetha are close. When we last saw them, they were in the same room as Zola but thought they had lost her ✣ . Argadi 17:27, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Zola's got most of Lu's knowledge of the hidden passages and ways of the Castle. So she's got a definite advantage moving about and hiding. I had originally thought that Zola would scram out of the Castle, but she's obviously too arrogant and determined (and Agatha/Lu too much of a danger to her future plans, in several ways) -- plus all the ways out are probably well watched right now. --Zerogee 20:16, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Not specific today's comic, but they've found the plant. Argadi 11:01, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Zola is not a good planner as she has been trapped how many times in the past , i dont think she will get away with out the plant grabbing her and needing rescue again. Agathahetrodyne 15:40, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

I think it's something close to obvious by now that Zola is not entirely incompetent. 76.4.128.250 23:01, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Zola has skills. What Zola lacks for competency is strategy. Zola's strong suit is improvisation. Which is to say Zola has a talent for picking plans that won't work as planned. Zola gets by on luck and the kindness of strangers. Once people get to know Zola it is another story. --Rej 00:16, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

If it comes to a catfight, Agatha is nowhere near the end of her Princess Guardian trainig, but the amount she does have allowed her to mop the floor with an armed male opponent in a matter of seconds, while chained to a loaded handtruck. Agatha also has the Pruning Clank in hand. Even without outside interference, Zola is in more trouble than she knows. Datkhound 01:59, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
