(I can't find that post again.)The cliffhanger
We know that there will be a cliffhanger in the final part of the scene and it has nothing to do with the main "action". So no... interruptus
So what could it be?
I think there could be two possibilities for the cliffhanger: it could have something "spicy" attached to it, or it could be just a pure plot "twist".
Personally, I think it could be the latter rather than the former.
To be something still spicy, as a sort of continuation of what happened in the main action, it could be an "almost caught" kind of situation, à la Sam if you will, like many here have already suggested. For example, once everything is finished, Sophia still have to change into her normal dress. As she has probably done before, she will change in the room (asking them to turn around) and while she is naked there could come the cliffhanger. Maybe Ava calls from downstairs or as she is coming up the stairs. Maybe to hurry up and avoid any suspicion she might quickly put the shirt on and answer her from the door kept ajar. And like in the telephone call with the "boss" in the previous event, they can somewhat exploit the situation. In different contexts, something like that happened during Sophia's visit at Liam's office (PD 12) or at the beach cabin with Dylan (PD 9).
There are of course many variations on this theme, this is just an example to give an idea.
The other possibility is that the cliffhanger has nothing particularly lewd in it and it's just a plot twist, either to give a particular conclusion to this event or to set the wheels in motion for the next event.
My feeling is that the cliffhanger could be related to the beginning of the event. Whatever escamotage they used to get the bag inside, now there is the opposite problem: Sophia has to smuggle the bag with the lingerie (possibly along with the evidences) out of the house. This should be relatively easy as they could simply drop the bag from the window and Sophia will take it on the way out. Easy peasy, compared to the other problem. But just because it's easy, that's where things could go south.
Walking in the garden is still very risky as she can be seen from inside with all those windows, as it was the case at the beginning. So we can imagine that the first time everything went according to her plan and now something happens that jeopardize the mission. It could be Ava unexpectedly walking her out of the gate and closing it behind her, so Sophia cannot go to retrieve the bag. Or Sophia being caught in the garden by Ava before getting to the bag. A lot of explanation to give, an excuse to make up quite quickly ("looking at the beautiful flowers" kind of thing...). So we can image some sort of impasse like that in which of course Sophia is not directly caught red-handed but she is in a delicate position. And that's where it could end, waiting for the way she gets away with it.
If we want to add more drama we can imagine the classic kind of scenes/trope we have in movies. Imagine Sophia retrieving the bag from under the window, retracing her steps in the garden and boom! There is Ava with an inquisitive expression on her face. She asks what's in the bag, Sophia hesitated unable to come up with a good excuse, Ava takes the bag, opens it, looks inside, her face changes into a mix of big surprise and anger, she looks at Sophia and... cliffhanger!
So how this can be solved? The usual way, whether you call it "You must be registered to see the links" or "You must be registered to see the links" or "You must be registered to see the links". Maybe they filled the bag with something much more innocent and kept the lingerie for themselves, unbeknownst of Sophia, who will be as surprised as Ava. Or hidden the lingerie inside something more innocent. Sophia will left with still some explaining to do, but she will be able to get away with it.
Or it could be Leah that saves Sophia before Ava notices her in the garden. Which then could lead to her involvement in the future lessons.
My scenarios really suck because I'm not a writer but I hope you get the gist of it.![]()
If I understood correctly, he said that he planned a cliffhanger not because he needed one, but because the number of image files had become too many.
- This could mean a simple number division, not a scene change.
And previously, players had already experienced a cliffhanger related to "Liam the Photographer".
- As everyone knows, it didn't mean anything.
So I don't think about cliffhangers at all.
