I was not going to comment at all. Even though I took a mini-break, I've been lurking these past few days.
What makes you say this? The biggest stake is Lana's husband finding out, so it can't be said that there are no stakes at all. We also may have Sharon replacing Sofia as ID's undercover sleuth.
But we knew this for some time, right? Daval did state that Sofia's role is to just "find out," because he wanted one of the characters to find out. He also stated that her role would be diminished from here onward.
Why would she record them? Why are we forgetting that Sofia and Lana are friends? If you caught your friend doing something he/she shouldn't be doing, would your first instinct be, "record them"? As far as her being Lana's confidant, I think this will likely be Sofia's role moving forward. And as I proposed when comparing this series to the manga, Anekata, I think she may even cover for Lana and Daniel when they indulge their lust in risky areas.
I doubt it. I think the bra is a throwaway detail, and even if Martha does find it, there are viable excuses as to the reason Lana would take it off. Unless she had a camera in her car, or Sofia outright tells her, I don't think Martha will find out anytime soon.
I agree that this one is a bit weird, but it wouldn't be impossible to have a Daniel-Sharon scene, if it's made all about Lana. What about the ID's audience, you say? I think the audience has conveyed a tolerance for close incestuous relationships. I mean the fan base should be in an uproar since it looks like Aaron is about to have his turn with Sarah, but they're not, why? Because he's her son. And he was neither randomly nor suddenly introduced to the story. Sharon has been said to look like Lana, and I don't believe that's for no reason. And while she's not Daniel's sister, she's still close enough of a relative especially since they're related through Lana. Sharon has had enough face time, so whatever her role is from here on out won't be as "out of nowhere" as Uncle Peter's.
Racism.
I don't think this is a viable scenario. First, the story through 10 chapters has conveyed that Alex can't hold his liquor. That is, he always passes out. So his approaching Sharon in a drunken stupor wouldn't be consistent with what we've seen thus far. Second, the series also makes it a point to convey how sexually incompetent Alex is. It wouldn't be too difficult to get rid of Alex for extended periods of time. Just handle Alex like MT handles Luke: send him on a business trip. (The last time we saw Sarah have sex with Luke was in chapter two of MT.) I don't think there'd be a viable way to completely remove Alex from the picture. In fact, I would argue that it would be counterproductive. Not that I think this will happen, but if Daval decides to have Daniel get Lana pregnant, Alex is the perfect cover. With that said, I think the audience would much prefer to see Daniel have sex with Sharon than Alex.
And since you brought this up, I'll take the opportunity to give my thoughts on this subject in particular. Alex really isn't a bad person. And I don't believe he's lame, either. Lana's reasons for cheating on Alex is, frankly, B.S. She claimed that he doesn't pay attention to her or lusts after her, but Alex had sex with Lana that morning, and even looked to fool around with her, but she was the one who sent him away to conceal Daniel's presence behind the door (Chapter Eight.) The only thing I can attribute her faulty reasoning to is her being drunk (though she was mouthing off before she hit the bottle.) And her being drunk is important, too, which seems to be a forgotten element in these discussions. Lana is drunk. She can always recoil after this chapter and be as hesitant as she has always been. And perhaps we should think of this as a preview to her submitting to Daniel, and not her actually submitting to Daniel.
Why would he give them a rest, when they are the reason Immoral Desires is so popular? Which of the females you've seen in I.D. could attract more attention than Lana?
Is it? Then why is Immoral Desires still his most popular comic?
I'll just state this, since I've droned on long enough. If all you seek in any content you consume is novelty, then you're always going to lose interest or be bored. It's like my cousin: he can never watch the same show or episode twice, and complains constantly about the lack of new content. I think it's a Jack_Zy stated and many of us are just projecting our wishful thinking as facts. That's the reason I'm making a conscious effort to reel back my commentary, even though I've failed miserably with this post. Why are we surprised that Immoral Desires is extending the dynamic that not only invoked its popularity, but also has been a theme through its 10 chapters? It was about Lana and Daniel for virtually 10 chapters? Why should it be different now?
