Last night's episode was really entertaining. On the one hand, you have Princess Michelle really growing into her caretaker roll in a personal way, risking her own life. Queen Rose finally demonstrated that she was a human being in basically saying, "If it means saving my children, kill my brother... kill anyone you need." It was nice to see her facade crack around the edges a bit. S
ilas had to make the hard choice about General Linus after recognizing the *sign* of a candle blowing out (I'm glad our justice system employs deductive reasoning, though).
The most important story, though, was Jack's life being saved by David, who had to kill for the first time. I knew it was a matter of time before Jack finally came around and couldn't be jealous of the almost too pure David, and this was a very good vehicle for that change.
The scene where Silas greeted and embraced both Jack and David as his sons was really intriguing. I suspect it's paving the way (more directly than previous situations) for David's positioning as Silas' eventual successor. I only hope we get to see King David before the series ends this July.
