The "pumpkin" and "scissor" analogies are starting to get a little heavy handed. Alice's use of it here was a bit of a stretch. I can honestly say I've never cut a pumpkin with scissors during halloween, it's messier and more dangerous.
Hmm, maybe it is a fairly appropriate analogy. If Section III used a real carving knife, they wouldn't be having so many problems.
Jokes aside, it looks like someone other than Orland is going to get into some serious action. Not so surprisingly, Alice.
I imagine they'll play up the scene where she opens the box she brought along quite dramatically, so for now I'll consider this a spoiler for the next episode. Alice PVC figurine
