The fact he called her sweatheart with that short description says he is still mad. What normal person would know someone like that and remember them in contrast to a room full of crazy people? (add years gone missing for bonus points)

Hello Captain! How’s it going?
Now my cover … I am blowing!
I’m upset with … wasting water,
Which is how you recognize that I’m your daughter!
Hello Sweetheart! How ya doing?
With your mind, the … staff is screwing!
Stuff like my re- … animation
Kinda makes this such an awkward situation!
Cap-tain Bram!
I gotta tell you
Who I am!
This place is hell, you
Can’t be-lieve
The things they do to me!
With just
A dumb apostrophe!
Sweet-heart, dear!
I know it’s you, you
Make it clear
From things that you do!
You can’t hide,
It’s very plain to me
To see
Your OCD!
Will creation … and creator
Make a date to … meet up later?
Tell her later … once you’ve rested,
How you’re here when you were eaten and digested!
Bram was dead, but … he’s here somehow!
It’s a shock, her … brain is numb now!
Situation’s … enigmatic!
Bet the authors have a twist that quite dramatic!
The original tune is Amilcare Ponchielli’s Dance of the Hours. It had no lyrics in the first place, so is it filking if one’s lyrics are just as legitimate as anyone else’s?
Caption’s thoughts in these panels “it can’t be SweetHeart she’s a dog not a human! no wait wild anxiety about some thing so mild nobody else would care, ok it can’t be anyone but sweetheart”
I think it’s a bowl of borscht. Like the knish, a clue to the fact that the character of Captain Bram is based on a certain author.
Also, even though Shaenon revealed that inspiration when we originally met the Captain, it has only occurred to me this week: is his name short for “Bramwell Winkporter?”
Now the question is, Cured or Still A Spark? o_O
Well, he’s not reality blind, so that’s a hint. (Finally, I’m not the first to comment.)
Pretty sure you can’t keep reality blindness and work for Anasigma. They probably screen against it. 😛
I dunno. I can see Mr Green’s favourite agents being reality blind. They have no idea what’s going on, and that’s the way he likes it!

Oh Sweetheart, you lovably terrible covert agent.
I think we’ve found a partner for Johnny English!

Nice to see you again, Eddurd!
Ed, there’s no question in my mind that if you aren’t actually making a living at writing song lyrics now, you’d make a very good one.
Damn it, Ed! Now that song is in my head! Argh!
I bet Sweetheart could dance for hours to that

Like, like, like! So good to have you back.
And isn’t that Allan Sherman song (along with “Crazy Downtown”) what started us on a life of filking? (Plus Mad Magazine, of course.)
Actually, I blame Weird Al, Frank Hayes, Fish, & Lackey.
Caption’s thoughts in these panels “it can’t be SweetHeart she’s a dog not a human! no wait wild anxiety about some thing so mild nobody else would care, ok it can’t be anyone but sweetheart”
This is going to be just the cutest.
I like the fact that Captain Bram’s reaction is basically “Yep. That’s Sweetheart.”
Good to know someone would recognize Sweetie no matter what body she was wearing 😀
Well, that sentence in Panel Three alone would tell him who’s speaking.
She introduced herself in the first frame.
Yeah, but the last time he saw her, she was a real dog…
Somehow I always thought “Sweetheart” had fallen into being her hearth-and home name…
I’m very intrigued by the clear dish in front of Captain Bram containing a strange substance.
I think that’s a wineglass. Either Our Hosts have forgotten how to draw glass stems lately, or the Institute considers them potential weapons.
It could also be yogurt. Or brain matter.
Wineglass was my first guess as well, but I was confused by the lack of stem. Maybe it’s soup in a transparent bowl?
Looks to me like it’s one of those double-walled glass mugs for coffee…

Stemless wine glasses are the new fad, especially for reds where a little warmth doesn’t hurt.
Okay, I now entirely subscribe to Michael Brewer’s theory. It seems like the most plausible solution. Goldbug running sims…
Not just running sims, but very specific brainwashing sims. Mr. Green is definitely running this show.
Half of the effort is being done by Sweetheart to herself of course. I wonder when/if she realizes she’s in Total Recall . . .
Is it just me, or has Sweetheart become considerably more Lawful Stupid than normal as of late?
Actually, now that I think of it, I think it coincided almost exactly with her institutionalization. I wonder, I wonder…
