Li, who has always been super protective of Finn,
her adopted baby boy, will finally meet the woman
who bore him. Expect fireworks during the encounter.
They are likely to explode as Li rakes Sheila with the
combined power of a 15-year loathing.
Li will strongly confront Sheila over the things she has done in the past and the ways in which she has been dishonest and manipulative. I think she is going to accuse Sheila of taking advantage of Finn’s good nature—that is to say, of using his new tender feelings as a way to weasel her way back into Finn’s life. …We look at a panel or two of Li’s face here, and it is clear to see that her maternal instincts are… rather fierce—even when they might be absurd.
Finn’s Background and Family Dynamics
Finn is positioned in the exact center of his home. By some strange gravitational force, this place keeps his mom, his dad, and his neighbors at arm’s length, simultaneously orbiting and mutually repelling them. They’ve been this way Finn’s whole life. Even from a young age, he’d learned not to push their limits. Yet as he approaches his 40th birthday, he also comes face to face with the recognition that these exact same limits had been set on him. Indeed, even seat belts would have been a kindly gesture in their recklessness.
