Wait... so he needs to touch her periodically to keep her alive.
And she's been asleep for three days.
...
I no longer like Tweedle.

No, this is the affect of the "water" she drank.
Worse...he knows about Lucrezia-in-Agatha. He is going to remove her locket.

I am wondering if he found a way to bring Lucrezia/The other out by a so please touch instead of removing the locket. I could be wrong but the way Agatha is acting in the last panel seems different to me. It is less like someone who is surprised at being healed by a touch than it does someone who is confused by everything going on.

I'm hating this story arch more and more each page makes me want to gag, and then string tweedle up, seriously WTF. 3 days she should have been rescued. There's no way strumhaven's cousin is smarter than he is. And Agatha having to be near him cuts down on tweedles death happening in the immedeate future, which freaking sucks because I really don't want to see him survive more than two panels, not even two full comics mind you just two panels of the next one.

Well, not really. Other than she hasn't needed his touch until now. The question here is, who's "smarter", Tweedle or Lucrezia? Will it take Lucrezia to escape Tweedle?

The Foglios DO want everyone to HATE, HATE, HATE Martellius von Blitzengaard. Having said that, I am of a same mind as you. The story has spent twelve (12, count 'em, 12) years building up Agatha, collecting friends, allies, and bodygards. She reaches her ancestral home, is recognized as the rightful heir, repairs and reactivates a powerful AI castle, fights off Europas strongest military, and activates the final piece of her power - the Red Cathedral, which is hinted at as being more powerful than the castle. And where are we now? She is friendless, alone, and enslaved by a psychopath in some unknown location. Her friends/allies/army either dead or frozen in a statis field or in another reality or something. Those supporters who aren't have every reason to believe she is also in that same status as her town. This is how the authors plan to restart the story? By going back to square one? Actually, Agatha was better off in Beetburg as Agatha Clay. Oh, I'll keep reading to see where this is going. but I've lost a fair amount of enthusiasm for the moment.

What?" is her reaction to his "Now I have TWO smart people" under control. She's confused by that statement. Who is the other? (The answer to that is "yes").

THANK you that's exactly how i feel and it being strumhaven's cousin who was somehow able to outsmart the most cunning charcter in the comic so far is just beyond belief. if tweedle had been that much of a threat strumhaven would have elminated him a long time ago it's patently ridiculous. This arc is the single worse of the series so far, and it's not getting better each page just makes it even worse. TWEEDLE HAS NO buisness being able to do anything he's done so far. If he'd been that capable he'd have been ended a long time ago. I hate this kind of plot twist where a bad guy is that much smarter than everyone. Sorry the good guys in this one are just as cunning and devious, but this plot line makes them all including agatha look like idiots, which they aren't

I know this is hard to take, but consider: these last few pages are setting up that Martellus is making a classic mistake: he thinks that by taking Agatha away from her city, her minions, her friends, her labs; abducting her, chaining her, poisoning and blackmailing her, that he's made her harmless.
I suspect otherwise.

Tarvek's assessment of his family seems distressingly accurate...
