Felix is asking about how Melissa got caught the first time. This is foreshadowing to a few pages from now, oh boy! Mentioning Prince Julian is also foreshadowing because he's going to exist eventually. He's definitely not aware of this situation though.

I think the second to last panel was done all as one image, which is crazy. The perspective's obviously imperfect but conveying that kind of depth via ink and screentones is pretty impressive.
