All this time, Liz has been doing her best to turn Maki into a submissive slave (even demanding a signed contract) and establish herself as a slightly sadistic dom who won't accept a lover who doesn't yield to her every whim...
And now a cool, arrogant woman appears who plays her like a fiddle and totally controls her, and Liz likes it so much she's like melting and having orgasms every time their eyes meet?
Actually, the funny thing is that, from a psychological point of view, it's a very sound and realistic development...
