Damnn !! manOk, if there are no more surprises and before the usual release commotion, let's make a short recap on what to expect on this v0.180
(this time should I'll be short. Well, kinda)
This release will contain the resolution of Sam's event from the previous one and a new event at Claire's hairdresser shop with Sophia, Claire, Marie (her daughter) and Dylan. We are expecting around 290 renders, although we still don't know how they will be split among the two events.
The cliffhanger
We were left hanging in the last release, with Sam drawing a completely naked Sophia holding the cello when suddenly we hear Julia about to barge into the room, apparently quite upset with Sam. So obviously the question is whether she will catch them or not.
Please refer to the v0.175 "unpacking" post for all the speculations about that, whether they embrace the "nothing burger" option, the getting caught option or the player choice option.
Note that it was also suggested that one of the reasons for Julia being upset with Sam could be the hoodie that he lend Ellie the night before when he rescued her at the beach.
Finally, a recent piece of information from L&P suggested that the cuckold points may come into action sooner than we may think, thus giving new life to the speculations that Dylan was watching the scene in the bedroom from his house. We'll see what happens, even though it seems something that will have a big impact on the story and on the relationship between Dylan and Sophia right from the new event.
The hairdresser salon
The main event revolves around the visit to Claire's shop to get a new haircut for Sophia and Dylan. This was already anticipated a while ago and he hinted at a poll to let the patrons have their choice on the matter.
The hairstyle change has also a technical reason: apparently, the new style should be easier to handle the hairs during the animations done in Blender.
Here were the choices for the new hairstyle and color:

The choice from the poll was B2.

We have been told that this event is more about Dylan and to progress the story with Marie you need to play Dylan's POV in the yoga event. It's not clear, though, if even this event will be split into two different POVs like the yoga event.
Teasers
Although we didn't get any teasers for the cliffhanger for obvious reasons, we got another record breaking number of 7 teasers for the hairdresser event.
The first one was to introduce the event showing Sophia and Dylan entering the salon

The next two teasers were more focusing on Marie and Dylan, first to show his new haircut

and then to show them in a ice cream parlor (3 images), probably because he was quickly done and they need to wait for Sophia to finish.

The teasers do not help much in trying to figure out what will happen between the two. One can expect that during the haircut Dylan could e.g. feel Marie's breast with his head, whether she is willingly teasing him or not. But then it is difficult to imagine how the event goes on in the ice cream parlour. Clearly, he has to make some progress as we have been told but there is not much material for speculations. Early speculations (before the teasers) were focusing more on the two being alone in the back of the shop while waiting.
The other teasers were instead focusing on Sophia and Claire left alone by the youngsters. And that's where we got some spoilers!
In the next 2 teasers we first see Claire with her right hand under to cape grabbing the top of Sophia's right breast
and then Claire with both hands on the top of both Sophia's breasts with the cape partially removedYou don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
This seems related to the talk they had in the changing room of the yoga event when Claire was admiring Sophia breasts and Sophia promised to give her some tips:You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Since both straps of Sophia's dress are down it seems like Claire is giving a massage, probably with some oil/ointment (see the little box on the chair). We know that Claire was already impressed by Sophia's figure and there could be more to it ("maybe" she is bi L&P said). It was also suggested that it could be to fix the hickeys from Sam (but that will create some dependencies with the previous event).Python:cl "Well, I guess sooner or later that fate will catch up to us someday." s "Hey, I can give you some tips on how you can prevent that!" cl "That'd be great! We can talk more about it when you come see for your next hair appointment!" [...] s "Wow, Claire. I must say that short hair really suits you! The dark color is great too." cl "Thanks. It's Marie's work." cl "She learned well from her mom! *ha-ha*" cl "But enough about us. I see our sunny weather did you really good! You look terrific!" cl "Why don't you stop by sometime again?" s "Oh yeah, I will. Maybe tomorrow or the next day."
Nevertheless, in some playthroughs, this would be the 5th time on the same day that Sophia's breasts get so much attention.
It's also strange that L&P spoiled that much what could be the/one of the highlights of the event. Usually, he just teases without telling much. So it could be also a red-herring (or a bait-and-switch
On that note, early speculations before the teasers were suggesting a sort of judgment of Paris with Dylan as Paris with the delicate task of choosing the most beautiful woman (or set of breasts) of the bunch.
Others were suggesting that Sophia during the event might somehow see Dylan being not at ease with approaching/interacting with Marie, which will lead to the next evening's events with some sex-ed to help him to be more confident. Although it has been pointed out that it will generate too many dependencies for the events to come.
Another line of speculations would see Dylan and Marie walking on Sophia and Claire during the massage or even after the massage: the last teaser unveiled Sophia's look

and one could not notice that both Sophia's straps seem still down under the cape,
View attachment 2357674
suggesting that there could be still some more action after that. In any case, it will be the fourth time in a few hours that Sophia gets in this dangerous situation.
Finally, at the very last we got a 7th teaser, not much revealing
View attachment 2359168
if it were not for the text that comes with it: "something to discuss on the way home". That is really teasing as it could refer to many things.
It's difficult from just the facial expressions to try to infer which one could be as there could be the usual interpretation bias.
- Of course, it could be the cuckold thing if Dylan watched Sam/Sophia from his house and now it's time for the awkward talk. We didn't see the trip to the hairdresser to see if Dylan was already uncomfortable around Sophia after what he might have seen. He could have been still a bit shocked and decided not to talk at that time. And only now during the trip back home could gather the courage to address the issue.
- It could be again an awkward talk if Dylan walked on Sophia and Claire during or after the massage.
- Or it could be a talk related to Marie and what Dylan did or didn't do during his time with her that would lead to the evening events between mother and son (we see that it is already dark outside).
In any case, it feels like this would be the beginning of the discussion. And an ideal place for another cliffhanger?
A last word about the number of renders. The initial estimate given by L&P was "around 200 maybe more", to move to "around 200" and end with 290. It makes quite a big release and a quite big event. We don't know the official split between the resolution and the hairdresser event, but even assuming a 50-240 split (and still 50 is a lot for the resolution unless there is more drama), the hairdresser event would be quite a large event. As a reference, it would be in same range as the visit to the beach, spending time with Alyssa, the last tutoring event to name some. It is also true that it will probably have 2 subplots, Claire/Sophia and Marie/Dylan, but after all it **may** be not as mild as it was announced and we could be in for a surprise.
How to get the event.
The event should be available in all routes as it introduces a change (hairstyles) visible in all routes. To get the most out of it, it will be probably required to have played the Dylan POV in the yoga event (and, ca va sans dire, chosen all the lewd choices
If you don't have the saves and you still want to play it normally with all the options, you might need to set some variables in order to get the event. You can set the variable values with Renpy console, theYou must be registered to see the links, or the Universal Renpy Mod.
These are a set of variables that **might** be needed to play the event (here you have a reminder of what happened in each POV).
