In the book, this is one of The Clutching Hand's fiendish attempts to discredit Craig Kennedy in the eyes of Elaine. Random women are being kissed by a stranger (a Kissing Bandit, as it were), and dropping unconscious. It's all a ploy to have Flirty Florrie (one of The Clutching Hand's hellish minions) have a picture taken of herself kissing Kennedy, to send to Elaine, to discredit Kennedy in Elaine's eyes. But the book doesn't mention that Elaine almost pukes when she sees the picture.
