Half Sisters - Episode 37 + Bonus Pinup! (Patreon)

Sandy returns to the scene of the crime...

Okay! I wanted to make Sandy's return extra special, so this episode is mega-sized at 24 pages PLUS a bonus pinup for good measure.

Welcome back, Sandy! 🥳

Now, many of the characters in this part of Half Sisters are callbacks to Maid for Life. For those who haven't read it or need a little refresher:

Scott was a young thief without any living parents or prospects for the future. After breaking into Mrs. Ferris' mansion, he was captured and given the choice between being arrested or becoming the maid. Mrs. Ferris promised that upon completing his "punishment," Scott would be given money for college. Scott agreed to this. Mrs. Ferris was rarely at home and so supervision of Scott mostly fell to her manservant, Mortimer.

Over time, Mortimer (who believed Scott shared the same 'energy' as Mrs. Ferris daughter, Sofia) slowly transformed Scott into a girl against his will. Eventually, Scott left the mansion without completing his "contract" (and without permission) and found refuge with his old friend, Josh. Now a physically convincing woman, Josh assumed Scott was transitioning and renamed him Sandy. They briefly became lovers.

However, Mortimer tracked Scott down and injected him with a sedative. Scott woke up in Texas, irate and shocked to find further transformations had been forced upon him, including orchiectomy, breast augmentation, and facial feminization. Mrs. Ferris began calling him Sofia.

Sofia / Sandy / Scott slowly adapted to his new life over the next few months. Mrs. Ferris proposed that she (he?) become her official heiress. Sandy eventually discovered (with the help of Jessica, with whom she had a tryst) that Mrs. Ferris' real daughter, Sofia, was a trans girl. Sofia was locked up by her father when he discovered she was taking estrogen. Later, Sofia somehow died. Jessica is suspicious about Mrs. Ferris’ involvement.

Hoping to get to the bottom of the mystery of what happened to the 'real' Sofia, Sandy called Josh (who was also an experienced thief) and asked him to investigate the mansion -- unfortunately, Josh was caught by Mortimer.

Meanwhile, in Texas, Sandy and Mrs. Ferris came to understand one another a little better and each agreed to give the other another chance.

The story now picks up with Sandy and Mrs. Ferris returning to Boston to see about Josh...

Phew!

I'm happy with most of the panels in this episode! I hope you like them, too. I can't wait to hear what you think! 💖
