Whilst I’m no expert of British slang, a “pram” is a baby carriage, a “council estate” is public housing for lower-income people/families, and a “skip” is what we’d call a “dumpster”. So, translated to “American”, Blossom is essentially calling Shauna “poor white trash”, I’d say. (And the “pram face” part is probably that whole “was expected to be pregnant by 14 were it not for Lottie’s positive influence” (no, really) from when they were ~8 years old or so.)
(At least, that’s how it sounds like it translates to me. Again, not an expert on British slang. Barely an expert on American slang by this point…)
So Shauna feels an obligation to fulfill her promise to Corky, even though the threat posed by Lem’s mind-control has now been resolved without Corky’s actually doing anything helpful. You’re a nice girl, Shauna!
While I appreciate Shauna still making the effort to be friendly with Corky despite everything, I do still kinda think the kid could do better than both Shauna and Blossom in the end of the day.

Poor Corky, torn between two worlds.

Blossom knows she tried to do something terrible and wants to deny it. I hope Corky is strong enough to resist.

Panel four is great. I get the hearts, blue bird, and I guess cloud nine, but what is the cloud person stepping out representing?

I just noticed that Corky has gimlet eyes!
Perhaps that is what has attracted Shauna?
So, because of that, I am genuinely surprised that Corky has allowed Blossom to sidetrack him.
He has a chance to join the squad!!
