Okay, I admit this was NOT the way I expected to see Doris again, but I am delighted to! :D
Either she is there to rescue them, or she is very determined to get revenge for that tranquiliser dart
... or she has to rescue in them in order to get room for a proper revenge roundhouse? :p
...or her boss has gone missing and she knows to look for these two as a backup? Or she's tim's backup plan?
Given Doris's subconscious expressions while being held by said boss...I'm not sure it's revenge she's thinkin' about.

Of course one does have to wonder if those faces were about her boss and not someone else?
"...I think this line's mostly filler..."
"These endless days
Are finally ending in a blaze and we are
Caught
In the fire..."
Doris ex machina.
Yet it makes perfect sense given the world and character building.
Well, we read this webcomic for a reason.
It also makes literal sense in that she is coming out of (a part of) a machine
I'm never making a better pun this year. I can feel it. ...I'm fine with that, too.
But only if she brought her horn.
toot!
And now we know her surname, too: "Chekhov"
No, her last name is clearly "the False Maid"
Doris is the greatest person to ever exist and my mind will not be changed
I love that Vee was banking on the effect the heat would have on her hair!
I love the callback to Vee's lecture to Ben back in Curtain Call:

"You are worth it. So Prove it"
Looks like Doris maid it just in time ;D
It's nice to see her grow au pair
I already liked Doris, but now I love Doris <3 <3
I just want to say having her hair all soft like that is very flattering on her.
She also has a very attractive knee in panel 2, although in this day and age pointing this out is probably a sackable offence. There’s nothing like a bit of fan service to brighten up a gloomy January.
...wait a second. Is Doris The False Maid a time traveler? "Flippin" is a modern placeholder.
Does her name have something to do with Beirut or the Sea Empress or that guy who did a report on Theranos?
I had completely forgotten about Doris. Well played!
Hm, I suspect Tim sent her. Though MVP for going through all the tubes to find them!
That being said, this is going to be one hell of a 'magic' trick I bet.
Doris O_o
I remember saying something about a year ago saying Doris was a deep cover agent for the Crown, this supports that...
how come that Doris 'the false maid' is well liked? she was just on the stage for a few panels and ppl already talked about her there
Verity with her hair down is making me stupid <3
Ha, called it!
Doesn't look like she brought tools, though - so now all three will be sitting down there, waiting for someone to open the door? :D
