Speaking as a perpetual wallflower who has never been to a rave in my life, I found it understandable. Admittedly I’ve heard the term “molly” in reference to ecstasy, but you see as guy wide-eyed staring at someone who looks incredibly uncomfortable about it. Seems pretty obvious that’s the “molly bear” that uses “prolonged eye contact” to make “uh-ohs” so uncomfortable that they either leave or at least don’t come to another one.
There’s the missing link. It’s been about 20 years since I knew anyone who took mdma, and back then they called it eckies.
At risk of sounding out of touch, there’s no way I could have known what anything in panel 4 was supposed to mean.

Understood the spirit of the comic, not the detail or terminology.
So… there was a possible way you could understand something in panel 4…
