Anyway, not to imply anything about Steve Blackman... but does Five and Lila make anyone else look at Viktor and Sissy in a different light?

Are these basically not the same story?

I mean: an unhappy housewife and stay-at-home mom cheats on her husband who she is keeping secrets from (sissy's savings tin, lila's book club) with a Hargreeves sibling. Said Hargreeves sibling wants to run away with the unhappy housewife (Viktor wants Sissy to come to the future with him, Five wants to stay at the strawberry place). None of that happens because the unhappy housewife decides to put her child(ren) first (Sissy wants Harlan to be safe more than she wants to be with Viktor, Lila wants to go back to her children more than she wants to be with Five). The entire thing ends in tragedy.

Yeah, it's the sixties so the context is different with Sissy, but that aside... how different are their stories really?
