OMG. 😂 Unless and until this is explicitly counteracted on screen, I'm accepting this headcanon.

I LOVE the push and pull between them. It delights me. I love so much that "dinner" is holding his own against the ex-Emperor, and also that Pippa is, idk, being a useful horrible goose? Largely out of attachment to Michael, but I'm glad she doesn't seem to want to run the ship (or even the universe, at the moment). She's more fun kicking people inna head (and I think she thinks so too).
