Glad to hear Burt's voice.. He sounded down to me.

Datu will be around a couple more weeks.. Bet the next Chapter is Burt's story..

glad to see saul doing something.
happy datu has a week or so.
Lizzy is due soon.
Hope has a "I love you, dont leave me" scene that is for sure going to be heartbreaking.

But we have a BURT/Riley chapter coming up!!!

[Footbutt]

Puck get's to take command!
that was the highlight for me.

1.) We have a 'respite' for Michael-Victor-Datu as others visit
2.) Puck and the boys will be checkin' out Ink's pad
3.) Saul-Tanya-Burt have words (hopefully good vibes all around)
4.) Lizzy... the bun's about to be taken out of the oven

#3 is the 'hot bed' topic so we can learn about Burt-Riley thread, but believe it or not, i wanna follow Puck and the boys and write a cheesy 80's TV ballad for them.

Puck and the boys
goin' hunt'n, just shootin' for joys
grown men, not playin' with toys
Puck and the boys

Where's Waldo, I mean walCrow...

I hear crows when the scene transitions from night to day ask the soldiers wake up. I also hear them when they get to the pump. They are also present when Michael speaks with Datu at the safe house the next morning about the pump changing everything.

KC you are officially forgiven from my previous anger, though I know you understand.

So Michael believes because he let Randy turn that the zombie is out to make his life miserable. Very human, though I wonder if Zom-Randy has that high on his list of motivations. I am glad we still have Datu for a little while, but still sad.

Also I am glad that Tanya is keeping an open mind rather than assuming immunity. She doesn't assume her and Saul are changing, but that remains a possibility and requires caution. Better Tanya take precautions against and be proved immune, rather than assume immunity and wake up a biter one night. Of course now I have the silly image of then chaining themselves in at night. Lizzie groans she is too tired with the baby for Saul's kinkiness as he tries to shush her to sleep...

Also...BURT IS BACK!!! I missed you! Can I have a hug? Or a punch? A one liner?

[Pikepaw]

Also Puck is just as bad as me. I get the slightest illusion of power, it goes straight to my head.

I think Scratch has Riley and that is how he knew right where they would be. Perhaps Tardust strapped him with C4. Sooo many possibilities.

I don't think Scratch having Riley captive is out of the realm of possibility, but if she is captured I doubt Burt would cooperate. He's too damn stubborn, and after months of having him captive, Scratch would know that. But I'm also thinking the whole "The Mallers have a captive" thing has been done 3 times now (Hannah, Lizzy, Burt and if you wanna count Angel too that makes four) so that idea might be played out. There's still a chance that Riley is there and just didn't speak in the scene (maybe she was parking the car). But yeah, it's definitely concerning.

I think it is an artificial cliff hanger to feed the crows, I mean trolls...

[UndeadSweeper]

So here is the million dollar question..................

Where is Riley?

No. The million dollar question is what did Victor have for breakfast? The one dollar question is where is Riley?

[cringebot]

There's no way Riley is gone/dead yet. She's too much of a fan favorite to just die off without directly effecting the main plot.

Datu is gonna die. He has to. He WAS the weakest character, the most vulnerable and now he's completely flipped conquering most of his fears. I see him going out as a choice and a future self sacrifice in a big way. It will be an emotional affair.

I don't know if the Randy story ends with just him subconsciously resenting Michael in zombie mode. I still don't understand why he was holding the protein juice.

I still think the shopping list is some kind of alchemy symbols. That the whole gas from ground zero is some archaic science project/borderline Egyptian witchcraft.

I also think Victor will get the chance to redeem himself with Michael.

Burt will have some sort of insight on their current events and help direct Tanya with her research. He must of ran into something important enough to inform them.
