It was only a matter of time. Adelheid has been showing faint signs all season that she's particularly fond of Shareef and his sister even though she dines with most of the other political leaders. They do basically time their visits to be at the same time, when each diner has the entirety of Saturday to come.

Nobody comes in the late evening before closing because that is the Red Queen's time.

It's probably better that Kuro mostly focuses on telepathy with the diners. The lizarman gag was quite wonderful. They always ask if someone can read Eastern, but we have to assume at some point that someone will come in who can't even speak it.

The other interesting development is that Aletta's attention to detail and instinct is catching up with Kuro's telepathy. Kuro is the one usually known to deliver additional servings right as they're about to be asked for, but now Aletta is expediting the back of the house before they even think about it.
