I think I've mentioned before that my original plan wasn't for Daphne to get as much focus as she did this chapter. But the reaction to her appearance was so positive I retooled things a bit to keep her around longer and give her a longer sex sequence with Jenna, but I still didn't have anything for her to actually do during this part of the story. So this is my way of kind of hand waving away her presence to explain why she's not asking a million questions about what's going on, and also give some more hints of how Anastasia's influence powers work.
