It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
I like the idea of him being one of those dudes that unlocks supernatural powers with OJ better. It's also weird that Hijack would sneak into a school, possess a teacher, and walk out.

also do these kids have cellphones on them to text each other when they figure out if one of the teachers isn't Hijack? You'd think when you eliminate one you'd want to back up the others or have a way to send for help against the super strong ghost

The act of getting out their phones and texting each other should only take a month of strips at most so I'm sure they'll team up again in no time.

P.J. is making a callback to this page (not one of the ones Zak links to in his post) when he talks about friendship. I guess he didn't have much in the way of friends before he kicked the bucket if he needs to quote Isabel over what friends do.

unrelated, I forgot that Johnny said "what a waste of good violence" earlier in the chapter when he was done messing with Jeff, which Hijack/Jeff then used later as he was talking poo poo to Johnny about bullies. Neat.

PJ was super hype about the idea of being able to be helpful when Max suggested he might be able to use a tool to help out, then Spencer made a poor analogy about how the tool would basically eat PJ to fuel it ("yarn is the power source and spirits are sweaters"). Max hasn't been able to explain it to PJ because he doesn't want to further crush his hopes.

Spender's very bad explanation of why ghosts can't wield Spectral Weapons. I don't have a link handy but it was near the start of the ghost train ride.

a) Isaac got Hijack'd (possible but boring)
b) Isaac and Mr. Garcia had a chat, Isaac asked him the usual questions, Mr. Garcia just shrugged and told him everything.

Well he doesn't have any bulging veins and his energy is the same color (idk if that'd matter), and I sorta feel like he'd want to talk to Max if he just learned stuff or is swapping to the Cousinhood or whatever, so I don't think it's Hijack

But I guess it could be

I don't think Hijack would text Max. I don't see where he would get the knowledge that that's even an option, let alone have anything to say.

Yeah, Eightfold is still alive, imprisoned, unable to escape, destined to stay fused with the rock until destroyed by natural disaster or devoured by a passing malicious spirit.

Much better!

And yeah I am absolutely not following this business with the fly at all, although Zack's art is so fun that it hardly matters. It might actually be funny if it turned out to be an entirely meaningless interaction.

She's a spirit. Why can't see just leave the book and phase through the rock.?

She can't leave the book until she's regenerated. She didn't have enough strength when she was trapped because she'd rekilled herself that morning after meeting Max, and without a spectral to feed off she can't regenerate by herself.

I had assumed that Issac was hijacked, but if so, I don't understand his motivation for saying "prove you're you!"

Neither Ed nor Isabel suspected, but now they do.

I don't think Isaac is hijacked. I think he just learned some important things from Garcia that nobody else would tell him up till now.

That or he's just being Unnecessarily Anime And Dramatic because it's Isaac.
