I'm trying to get back into Lie Back and one thing I'm wondering is if Terrence could be the one who fixates on the mystery the most, rather than Leela? Leela could still be the recipient of the vibrator, but she doesn't necessarily have to be the keystone of the mystery plotline?
I'm not super sure on this, but I'm feeling like if I'm going to have a thread about her writing fanfic (which has to be her in terms of the impact of the most "pure" aroace member of the group writing sexual content) and the mystery, that seems like maybe too many threads for the one character, when Terrence and Grace don't have as much an overarching plot thread? It seems like it makes more sense for Terrence than for Grace, in terms of Terrence and Leela both being a bit strange socially in a way that fixates on things, and Terrence specifically is very analytical and I think it would make sense that he's confronted with a problem and he feels driven to find the solution. I don't think it would be in-character for Grace, like she would be more likely to be more direct about either letting it go or treating it as a silly thing they just do for fun. And it seems less interesting that way than getting there at the end.
