    I would love to claim that I've been tallying Ellen and Sirleck separately in the counting thread because I saw this coming.

    Holy crap, I can't believe I only just realized this! Magus said Helena and Demetrius were hounding him, even following him to France. Following him. Then, they get distracted by the Aberration that went after Susan, and then they got forcibly reset at some point after that. The two of them showed up back in Moperville, and started following Elliot around, even though they had no idea why they were doing so. Of course they didn't know why -- they were following the wrong version! Magus and Elliot are duplicates from alternate universes. Magus is a version of Elliot, Elliot is a version if Magus. In their recently-improperly-reset befuddlement, the first version they came across was Elliot, and they vaguely recalled that they'd bern following this guy, but since he wasn't an Aberration or any other sort of "didn't belong here," they assumed it was to protect him. Makes sense to me, at least!

    http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2474 Well, it's confirmed, Ellen has been fully aware this whole time, and she'd not about to let Sirleck get his way either. This ain't going to be a thumb war either.

    I was thinking that Sirleck never got around to possessing either awakened or mages, perhaps sticking to people with money, a nice outward sign of a successful host. He might simply have never gotten around to looking for a magic-user who might actually have greater than normal magic resistance. And Ellen, who is magical in origin, does have an advantage in magic resistance as has been pointed out. In my headcanon, it's just because she is a bad ass. Cause you know, Bad Assery is a separate stat you can have, and comes into play at special dramatic moments. Well, we know that the child of two mages, according to Pandora, is almost certainly another mage, but we don't know what the child of a mage and a Tulougol Seyunolu will be. We don't even know for sure how Grace can procreate (perhaps two different ways?) or if she inherited Mr. Guyur's ability to create eggs without a mate. Heck, for all we know, if Grace and Tedd want to ensure a mage child, they might be able to include DNA from a third donor, or it might be moot (might turn out that the child of a mage and a Tulougol Seyunolu will be mage always). Or the child might be more like Grace, who is herself a very powerful, important person.

    Well I would expect that knowing that Magus was only acting on the guidance of an Immortal might make Ellen have some forgiveness for Magus. Magus really had no other choice since he wasn't in any position to ask Elliot for help himself. Back on the subject of Ellen's ability to fight Sirleck, it could be foreshadowed that Ellen could do so way back at Grace's birthday when she was able to resist Magus' attempt to manipulate her into zapping Elliot and instead, redirected her beam at Tedd. Dan might not have thought of that, but it would make it seem plausible that Ellen wouldn't be easily manipulated because of that. It also wouldn't surprise me if Dan did think of that and we'll have Magus mention that he gave Sirleck the idea of possessing Ellen, believing that Ellen was capable of fighting Sirleck long enough for Magus to recover from the diamond and then properly deal with Sirleck.

    Now that's fighting from the inside.

    The "useless" artifacts in the warehouse becoming active would seem to imply that the magic change has already happened.

    The second half of the commentary makes it clear that it is indeed Ellen holding Sirleck in the last panel, and also that it's a metaphorical visualization rather than what's literally happening.

    Metaphorical Martial Arts? Lookalikes and duplicates wrestling with body snatchers on the spirt plane? Oh why can't Sensei Greg be here to see his students doing so well?

    Excellent timing, Ellen!
