Who dies in Peace Talks

@g33k: Oh yeah, if he ever framed it that way to her, yeah that'd be awesome. I think she could have some inkling of it, but yeah.
Sorry, I just realized that I kept putting L in front of Raith for all these fights and I meant to say Lord Raith and Eb throwing down was what I really wanted to see, awesome showdown between Harry and Lara aside.
@CrusherJen: Oooh, some of those are possibilities I hadn't considered. And so many fight scenes to get too! Although I do think this could be an opportunity for the Alphas to power up and have a chance to shine. Not sure if Elaine will show up, it'd be cool to see her lightening chain move again.
@BadAlias: I'm not sure if Harry and Murphy do hit true love, at least this quick. I could have sworn that being in love gave you some protection from the Whamp whammie, since Arturo Genosa seemed more or less ok when he showed up.
CrusherJen:
Thank you @123Chikadee! ;D

True love does protect, but one dalliance and the protection is rendered moot... What is weird is it is the the sex act itself, not the emotion of love or lack there of behind it that shatters the protection.

This may sound a bit icky, so I need to state upfront that my conclusion is not meant as some kind of juvenile joke. The emotional truth behind a sexual act of a mere dalliance is that it can be based on several things, but not true love. For example, loneliness caused by a long separation; as occurs when soldiers go off to fight a war, can lead to susceptibility to giving in to a sexual impulse by either party in the relationship. The cause could also be something meaning meaner, like anger of one person at a perceived wrong by the one who they love; like Othello being led to believe Desdemona was unfaithful. It is the emotional insincerity of a person in the former example, or the anger which motivated the later example which damages and destroys a individual's love immunity, the sexual act just makes it stick.
g33k:
The sexual act does seem to have undue weight.
Look at the scene near the end of GS, where Justine figures out how to work around her and Thomas' "problem." I cheered her for finding a solution, but nevertheless... really, JB? Is it that much of a stupid-easy solution?
And if so, why isn't this stupid-easy solution common knowledge within the house filled with incubi & succubi???
