It’s gotta be Bunsen. Even back at the beginning of the comic, Bunsen was trying to dissuade Binky and Mustard from investigating Platt’s peanut factory.
I (desperately) do not want it , but Fuchsia might be the most likeliest suspect now. Is she blaming the CC for the death of her parents, who were killed during a break-in? That could explain her drive and determination…
Mole Fuscia doesn’t really work with that moment where she got so mad at the acrobats for trying to kill PJ that she forgave mcBell.
Doc was interrogating Fuscia, and unlike Fuscia she would’ve known about the peanut factory(which is why oats suspected another mole). I think evidence points to her.
The peanut factory points to Doc or Bunsen, especially since Bunsen tried to downplay the information, IIRC. But the hand cannon is Fuchsia’s (unless it was provided to her by the Shadow Circus scientists!). Personally, I’d be devastated, but Fuchsia being the mole would be so much more dramatic…!
It really doesn’t fit the rest of Fuscia’s character. Her thing against killing, her remembrance of the original purpose of the clowns, the fact that she seems to be very much still trying to do what she set out to do in clown college.. We’ve been given too much insight into Fuscia’s motivations for it all to be an act, and why would the Fuscia we’ve seen join up with the circus?
@Fellow: I do so hope you’re right! But: her behaviour MIGHT have been camouflage (even if it is unlikely, I agree). And for motivation: I’ve given up on trying to figure that out quite some time ago. I mean, who’d have guessed Morgan turning into a vigilante? Why did McBell join the heist, risking her career and newfound friends? Why did Maggie turn on the Corps in the first place and what is her deal now that she’s free from Ringmaster?
Yeah we don’t know what’s going on in Echo’s head, but that is a mystery. We’ve seen some of Mustard’s motives for vigilantyism, protecting mcbell, helping her sister. Hell, the very fact that she joined the corps because of her sister probably threw her for a real loop. We may not have known that mustard would become a vigilante previously, but events changed that. We may not know what Fuscia will do or want in the future, but in the present there is plenty to indicate that she wouldn’t want to be a mole.
Mustard:
– knows Livewire was Oates
– knows Oates was a mole
– recognizes that experimental hand-cannon
– got hit with it a few hours ago
– by Oates
– while Fuchsia was there
I don’t think Fuchsia is the mole, but I think Mustard is 100% certain she is
I mean, that or Oats. Mustard probably thinks Oats is STILL the mole, despite everything. Which is bad. And not good. Regardless of if it’s true or not.
That mole works fast!
Oh she has that prototype arm cannon? Then that definitely locks in one of the scientist techs as the double agent

As long as it isn’t Fuchsia who is the mole… ;_;
Mustard, get your spit together!

This looks serious. They aren’t just clowning around any more.
scooby doo run sound effect
Talk about being caught by surprise…
This fighting style- that’s pure McBell, isn’t it? I thought you couldn’t duplicate an improv-fu! Maggie ist formidable!
I mean, she’s not improvising. She just learned this one bouncy pie trick from mcbell.
Right! And brought it to perfection!
Mustard getting her ass kicked as expected.
Her sister is taking care not to do real damage which is nice I guess.
I still expect that she activated the signal watch and backup is on the way.
expecting to solo the dreaded mine isn’t suddenly more reasonable because it’s her sister.
No real damage?
Poor mustard just went from grains to powder in that last one, gonna need a new ribcage in the best case scenario.
It wouldn’t be the first time she’d decided to solo the Mime
