Trust me, you'll have even more questions come Monday.

Really now, we're going to cut away to where Laura and her fellow sister slaves were resting, right as Nora’s pulled the trigger; without revealing just how effective this attack was? That's a bit of a tease, but I guess it does makes sense: you want us to be left wondering how things had turned out, not to mention that hearing an unfamiliar loud noise in the mansion would wake all of the sleeping girls up very quickly; with most of them not knowing what made this sound, or how long they have been out this time (which might help hint that something is seriously wrong). It is going to be quite interesting to see all of the various reactions though, when they finally realize that their connection to Michelle has either changed drastically, or totally vanished (all depending on how this bond is affected by the shifting of dominant and submissive energies); especially since all of these events are happening so rapidly! And while Nora certainly scores some points here, for trying to take care of the current problem in a very straightforward manner, attempting to just shoot Blackstone point blank (since they are acting as the ‘host’ for Xor's sibling [it not being very clear what kind of relationship they actually have with each other; for all we know, it could be a completely cooperative one: both benefiting from this deal in certain ways] and Nora does know just how dangerous Xor can be when he’s in a physical form, so she knows that her top priority is to take this newly revealed threat out; before they can try anything else), something tells me that Nora’s attempt won’t have worked in the way which she’d hoped for… Maybe Blackstone has somehow managed to fully dodge or negate this attack (wouldn’t be a shock, given that Xor is pretty powerful himself), Michelle has started to act as a human shield for her new ‘mistress’ because of her drastic shift in mentality and Blackstone’s mind games taking advantage of the extremely suggestible state Michelle’s currently in (something that may cause Nora to hold back slightly with all her attacks, even if she doesn’t realize this until afterwards), or the final member of Blackstone’s group has finally made their appearance and they have some kind of protective ability? And even if her attack does work out exactly according to plan, with the spirit which has possessing Blackstone being returned to a wraith-like state (forcing them to seek out a new host), Nora seems to be hoping that what has happened to Michelle here will be fixable with some of the Association’s resources (or those of the Phantoms); or she is assuming that simply killing Blackstone should undo the change, something which is a bit of an extreme gamble on Nora’s part, given just how incredibly rare the ability of swapping around a person’s dominant and submissive energies seems to be here. Not only that, but she might end up in hot water with some of her superiors for killing or wounding Blackstone in Association territory (all due to all of Blackstone’s political connections and diplomatic immunity), since these superiors might be totally unaware of Blackstone’s status as host to a being like Xor; especially given the fact that almost all of the witnesses who are present to back up Nora’s story might be considered questionable, namely Michael, Evita and Gunther (because of their past record), but her partner may be considered as biased and Michelle’s in no condition to testify now! Or even worse, they are fully aware of this situation, but they have helped to cover the truth up; due to them being provided with something which only Blackstone (or rather, the being who is using her as a host) can offer them, meaning that Nora might soon end up being the subject of a Burn Notice…

As of yet, Blackstone is not a possessed body, that's her actual form. Nora is a government assassin whose daughter is at the mercy of the sister of the thing that poisoned the world. And has been shown to be morally ambiguous in the past when she decides she's doing the right thing.

It was supposed to be funnier than it turned out to be :(

Fiona

Or I just won't show what happens :P

Dodge the bullet, catch the bullet, stop the bullet in mid air (like the matrix) or be hit by the bullet...but it has no effect. One of these things WILL happen!

Steve Taylor

Of course this won't work...

Oh, I'm a bit astounded that "how are my pants back on" came to mind before "oh thank gods that damned chastity belt is gone!" In terms of unexpected apparel changes the belts would be a bigger thing to notice than pants.

Chuckv

I do worry about the moral/ethical aspects of shooting what might be an relatively innocent possessed host body in the head. Unless that's not a lead bullet coming out of that gun. But the earlier "want to keep your head" line does imply lethality.

Chuckv

Totally in character for her, hesitation is not her thing. And I love it as well. Still can't help wonder what we would have learned if she'd been allowed to monologue a bit. And if this will really solve the problem or just move it to a new vessel.

Chuckv

There are times just to shoot first without further questions. It's not as if she didn't ask any questions first. But you may be right, when dealing with powers of this sort simply shooting the f'ing b!tch may not have the affect you expect. And there could be a lot of things unresolved

Great Scott

My worry is that if she's dead, she can't lift whatever enchantment was used on Sixx -- they didn't stop to figure that out, and jumped to the (possibly false) conclusion that killing her would reverse the spell. I think I would have cautioned to first do something non-lethal (but painful) like shooting her in the kneecap.
