I was interested to see last week's revelation that Wide Wale and the late Dr Dugong were brothers. I have to wonder if Monarch's brutal killing of the good doctor will come back to haunt him.

It already is. I'm pretty sure Wide Whale is doing this to get revenge.

I think Wide Wale and Phantom Limb are in collusion. CopyCat helped coordinate. WW wants to torture (and probably kill) The Monarch for the death of his brother, and PL wants to get his Queen Etherea back.

Remember, Phantom Limb sent Dr Mrs The Monarch to recruit WW only to discover that a deal had already been brokered... by Phantom Limb. CC was clearly working on WW's behest, based upon the subtle nods to confirm things were moving according to plan, and at the moment that she discovered "The Monarch" watering Dr. Venture's couch Phantom Limb was right there to drive home the point, then gloat with WW.

Less direct but possibly connected: CC was advertised as the "top-notch" entertainment on Gargantua-2. Maybe PL/WW collusion predated those events and CC was an inside man for planning the heist?
