Final one to get and it should be simple.

7d Eye after this seductive look (4) ?L?D

The only answer I can come up with is SLID as in "she slid him a furtive glance", "eye" giving "lid", not sure about the "s". But eye usually means "i" in PE. Am I on the right track?

But how to parse?

I think all it is is that you put Eye after it, to get the seductive look. It's not a great clue - I think we're meant to take the Eye, italicised, as being the magazine, but it's not much of a misdirection!

So GLAD is right?

Yes, I'm glad to say it is.
