Monica's telling Phix that she hurts others. . .while they're both standing in front of Phix's Wall-O-Skulls. I suspect that Phix
might have some experience on a personal level with this sort of thing.

Or, just to mess with our heads, a series of strips for the holidays showing us what's (supposedly) been going on with other characters lately:
Kevin is on his first date with Tina, a triple date that also has Shelly with Justin and Connie with Darin.
Katherine has taken her expertise with ancient textiles and started a joint venture with Lydia to create a new line of products catering to paranormals with atypical undergarment needs.
Atsali and Castela came up with a plan to introduce Jacob to Atsali, but instead Jacob ended up bonding in some deep and mysterious manner to young Castela. All works out, however, as Atsali meets Jacob's vampire friend, Ed.
Euryale is inducted into Stinky's tribe after reuniting them with their lost leader, Oscar.
Becky and Nudge make a fortune selling anchovy pastries.
Tsillah is taken to court for not having Boo and Baxter licensed or on leashes in the city. Dietzel offers to be her legal counsel.
Calista and Krystle work out a way of making piezoelectric-powered cigarette lighters that can work underwater, a great convenience to mermaids with a nicotine habit.
Bia and Phix had to take a cross-country road trip together, during which they experienced whimsical adventures, dramatic revelations, the true meanings of forgiveness and friendship, and various techniques to clean bloodstains out of apparel.

Sometimes yelling at people is the best way to get them to stop listening to the voices in their own head and to start really listening to what you yourself are saying to them.

And it cost her a $350 bra. That might be even greater reason to Monica for avoiding a repeat.

Phix wanted her to get help because Cricket was showing signs of becoming a very unusual Fae who showed signs of compassion and caring. This is an attempt to help her become a kinder, gentler Fae when she eventually takes the throne. If it fails then cricket becomes just like the other fae. People have been dealing with fae a long time so Cricket won't be a spectacularly bad problem to deal with, just the usual fae issues.
Well, Cricket isn't going to be an ordinary fae, she's going to be a clan leader (whatever that means). She'll probably have a lot of influence over a great many other fae. So not only would her being a typical fae result in typical fae values still being official policy (and all of the harm that that could entail to everybody else, which could be considerable), but there's the loss of what
could have been accomplished if she had been made more conscientious and restrained.
One thing I wonder about her situation is who all was responsible for deciding on her punishment. Apparently somebody ruled that Calista's options were to stay under house arrest, be sent to Tartarus, or be mentored by the Jaguar Girl. But who made that ruling? She just said that it was "the school". How much input did Phix have in all of this? Is Phix also being pressured by some higher-ups to get things sorted out?
