Ok, I'm confused

Susan likes to watch, right? Thus, she has interest in a Susan-lookalike making out with an Elliot-lookalike.

Sounds most likely explanation to me as well. Apparently, the cleaning effect of high purity is not enough for her to prefer first-person interaction.

She did grope Elliot a fair bit, who knows how far it went off panel. However participating and watching are separate things for Susan and in a setting where she's free to do whatever she likes and so far there hasn't been anything that's really set off her anxieties (well, once she was made aware of how purity works), she can indulge in many of her fantasies.

It's like what would you think Susan would do if she were able to use Sarah's Simulation spell? Having her own personal holodeck in her head would allow her to let her imagination run wild and I'm willing to bet that she'd be more willing to try things in the simulation that she'd usually have strong issue with simply because she can set up an environment free of what might set off her anxiety.

Yeah ... I didn't say I was surprised.

Yeah ... pity Sarah's spell is the kind which is very hard if not impossible to put on wands.

Meanwhile Sarah who doesn't have so strong issues with anything probably got VERY far there ...

It's is difficult, but Dan's stated it could be done if Tedd watched Sarah use the spell frequently enough, but considering the energy clog is still a thing, any wand should work, though once the clog is removed and the ambient energy drops, then the wand would be useless.

Only other possibility would be if it's possible to load the spell onto Tedd's gauntlet, it's been implied that it can store lots of power, if it's deemed a complex enough (my theory is that it uses parts intended for building TFG's) then it might allow others to cast Sarah's spell.

Ok, so not impossible ... Susan, start training puppy eyes, you will need to do lot of convincing

I'm pretty sure that Tedd's gauntlet IS technically wand (or spell catalyst), no matter if it is or isn't using parts used in TFG's. But yes, it might be the kind of wand which would allow using spells like this.

If she does that, she might end up with an actual Puppy Eyes spell.

Has anyone yet referenced the discovery of special eye muscles  that allow puppies to do that trick? Humans already have those, so just practicing should do it.

She already showed it at least twice: when talking about startrek and when she wanted on bridge in Justin's game.

And here for three.
