Netpedia Entry: Xelohypnol
Marketed and sold as a sleeping pill, Xelohypnol is currently illegal in over thirty countries. Recommended doses of Xelohypnol can cause extreme drowsiness, while higher amounts may result in automatism, dissociation, and/or blackouts.
After the drug wears off, users may experience anterograde amnesia and find it difficult to remember what happened while under its influence. Other adverse effects can include feelings of dizziness, sluggishness, lack of coordination, and nausea.
Distribution of Xelohypnol has been widely banned because of its use in date rapes. The pill can be dissolved in a drink without altering the color or taste, making it easy to administer to potential victims.
Since its ban, alternate variants of Xelohypnol have been sold on the black market, including pills that contain a mix of illegal substances—often with so-called pleasure drugs—like Euphoria, Rapture, and Aphrosia.

Man, if that drug in her drink has ANY Effect that’s similar to Amphrosia…………MAN……………..😏😎
I feel this weird let-down that the most obvious outcome came into effect. I just expected Madison to be more knowledgeable of the tropes.
Oh well, maybe she can burn through the effect through violence fighting of the ones about to attack her.
I still wonder where that big fellow went too and if he is working for Miss Bliss to collect “the one that got away” for her.
Exiting times ahead i think! 🙂
I feel this is less about tropes and she was being a bad cop this whole time. :/ Thought she was supposed to be a good cop.
She is a good cop. Just a hotheaded one, and more so recently due to all the stuff going on with her. Gripps has an entire task force at his disposal and still couldn’t make an arrest. Madison, at least, got this far on her own. Granted, if she had backup, things might’ve turned out in her favor.
Bad cop in this instance for…
No back up.
Taking the shot to begin with.
Announcing she was a cop WAY to early.
There’s hot head and then there’s this which is being bad 🙁
I’m surprised she would make such a rookie mistake, unless she prepared for this sort of situation and took an antidote before entering the bar but it doesn’t seem so from panel 3. As famous as Madison probably is in the underworld community she was likely recognized immediately on entering the bar.
Maybe she can fake the effects well enough to pass them off as real and add ‘administering a noxious substance’ to the list of charges…or just shoot him before it’s too late, that should count as ‘resisting arrest’ and ‘assaulting an officer with intent to disarm’
It’ll be interesting to know how Wilkos knew Madison wasn’t one of Novok’s girls. She did recite the phase he gave her. Also curious if the spiked drink was mixed with anything mentioned in the netpedia entry.
This is why you don’t accept drinks from strangers.
