# Recap Notes: MAGP 2 “Making Adjustments”

Spoiler Warning: this is a purely selfish exercise in remembering what the hell happened last season (from someone caught up thru MAGP31, 2/27/2025). No promises I’ll keep up with it.
Summary: The Picture of Dorian Grey, Inked edition.

Casements:
CAT3RBC1567-23092022-18012024 — Artist is injected with the power to edit herself as the canvas. As she works the thing which gives her the power spreads and she has to cut out/around more of herself to keep tweaking it, the instrument more perfect than the vessel. Can’t help but think about what’s left of our favourite eye pupil and wonder what’s been carved from him.
Random Thoughts & Observations:
DPHW might not stand for anything, but it’s going to haunt me till I know the answer either way. This week’s guess: Don’t Process, Horrifically Weird.
Haha! Jenny Haufek’s the therapist. I would not trust Hartro with my mental health, but that’s a different series.
Darla/Daria? Well done, Alex. You know two different names. You’re one up on Jonny thru sheer technicality (and a letter swap). Do I think this is actually an early sign we’re playing with doppelgängers and doubles this series? Shh, I wanted to make a funny.
Daria found Ink5oul while looking up inspo for a portrait for a generic witchy alchemist. My want for this reality to be a delve into the Keay side of the story only grows.
When Daria’s tattoo is done, Ink5oul’s tools are bloody, but the tattoo is already healed. Might be nothing, but blood seems to be odd in regards to the powers at work here, so I’m noting it. Something to watch.
Alice’s warning to Sam that he needs to compartmentalise to survive this job is amusing just off the Season 2 opener “Compartmentalising” where Sam is reaping the consequences of ignoring her.
