    Amy built her antiquing career on being a “divvy”, someone with a magic power that allows them to sense items of value. However, she confessed to Shauna in “Missing Piece” that she lost her power when Walt was born, which was about a year and a half ago, during the winter break after “The Case of the Forked Road”.

    Shauna believes that Romesh is a divvy, based on his actually finding something worth stealing when he and her brother robbed Amy’s shop, and they’re here to test that out.

    I’m not getting the “Mrs. Bonfire” or the “hump” references.

    Can Romesh redeem himself?

    I see Shauna is still hanging with Amy. She hasn’t learned her lesson yet.

    Oh yeah — the guy with the monocle and beret in the first panel is Dinkle, an inveterate alcohol sponge who appeared in “Chilton Takes Charge”, the SGR story where Amy first opened Bric-A-Brac, as sidekick to Amy’s rival Lovelace (who we got a glimpse of in flashback in the August 6th strip). Dinkle was probably the one who actually set the original Bric-A-Brac on fire, though Amy is unaware of his involvement — she just blames the evil old ladies who were the ones who incited the angry mob in the first place.

    Amy is a role model.

    From what I can see of them I think Amy did well to repeatedly humiliate them.
