Just the first thing that came to my mind after seeing that roger GIF. Because one of the earlier hints was someone saying "Why didn't they act" and "conflict". So I was thinking of Roger somehow getting involved in this chapter, and I always found it odd that they passed by the tequila wolf unbothered. It could just be joy boy lore talk and totally unrelated.
Redons hints getting better to analyze lately, so I took my shot.
