First of all, not only does it seem to be confirmed that John's veto on MC's presence at Magic Grand is over, but it seems that there may be a special work party or at least preparations for one, because if I remember correctly, in a previous screenshot one of his coworkers was dressed as a pirate. That would better explain the pirate costume, as well as the bowler hat worn by the lesbian coworker who apparently knows nothing of John's dirty tricks, and probably explain why MC has served Nicole a glass of wine (I imagine that screenshot will only appear in the route where she is not pregnant, unless MC has forgotten that pregnant women cannot drink wine and after receiving that glass, Nicole rejects it citing her condition; after all, it wouldn't be anything new: if we choose for MC to buy coffee at that store for the camping day and then Nicole's pregnancy is confirmed, on the morning of Day 27, she has breakfast without drinking coffee, something that surprises MC until she tells her that since she is pregnant she shouldn't drink it) in a room that appears to be new (in the background of that image appears the railing of some stairs, ruling out that this is happening in the Heavens' house).
