publication date: 1969
pencil and story: Guido Crepax
Valentina retires to convalescence in the countryside, in the company of a large cat.
The cat is again the alien probe, but this time it is not alone, there is also a mouse version of it.
The probe affects Valentina's dreams, accentuating her neuroses.
The cat ends up being crushed by the car of an old lesbian, who obviously falls in love with Valentina.
Her bondage tastes, however, frighten the young woman, who runs away.
Philip Rembrandt finally returns from Russia, where he stayed with the beautiful nobleman they met during their journey on the run from the dungeons.
Valentina takes on the characteristics of the cat, seducing Philip.
The mouse tries to kill Valentina, but the cat-probe takes the form of Valentina and saves her.
The probe, which takes the name of Marianna, becomes friends with Valentina and stays with them.
The symbiosis between Valentina and Marianna becomes morbid, but in the end the probe sacrifices itself at sea so as not to harm her.
