#lal!

So after some. . . deliberations and looking at page 68, I had previously been under the impression that Lal leaving here:

Was because of the influence of Mother fading on Kim and Lal getting mad at not being able to see it, but another idea is because of what he saw behind her (Which Amy hinted at.) Which is this: 

Which is probably about the Hatters being arrested again. Which is to ask, why would LAL of all people be mad about the Hatters getting arrested unless. . . 

Lal hired some Legitimate Business Men to get him WHATEVER was actually IN that case? No wonder he looks so angry in this panel: 

He’s looking annoyedly toward the TV screen, and what does he say?

Change of plans, that he has to get back to work. What kind of work, I’m not sure- but seeing the colour that was being emitted by WHATEVER was in that damn case makes me think of a certain something else.
