• Agathe's husband Raoul disappeared, can we find him (and do we want to)?
  • How did Raoul lay his hands on Gert's family wedding ring?
  • Is he leaving town with Elena?
  • Is he actually a Porte mage?
• Elena: why does she try to get people to go to the waterfall, is she really a fate witch, what is her deal? Is she being impersonated/impersonating somebody? What is her connection to Trujillo, Raoul etc.?
• The waterfall: is there anything significant about it?
• Vampires: How did Lucille become a vampire anyway? Doesn't that imply another vampire?
  • And what does this suggest for Camilla, who was attacked by Lucille but survived?
  • Is trouble going to happen on her ride out of town to meet her potential betrothed?
  • Dead Body #3: Is this a victim of Lucille from before we nabbed her? How did it get scarred? More vampires?
• What happened to Brother Etienne?
  • What is he sneaking out of the monastery and missing classes to do?
  • Does it have to do with vampires? Or demons? Or blackwood?
• Who was the "Inquisitor" agent who threatened Stefan? Was it Edgardo? Why do they want the body?
• Stefan has orchids who drink blood, is that creepy or what?
• What's up with Guy Heimlich? Why is he such a jerk?

  • Well, it's a mechanical game-playing contraption of some sort, but...
    • Did he steal the head of a Fate Witch to get it to work? Did Antoinette steal it for him without his knowledge?
    • Did he steal Ms. Schlegel first?
• Are Andre and Antoinette going to fall in love and then try to take over the world together?
  • Well, first she has to get over Hans.
• Adelheid's sleepwalking: does that matter?
• Lady du Sices has disappeared and couldn't collect her furniture, do we care?
• Edgardo and Lucia: do we trust them (of course not), what are they up to, who are they hiding from, do we believe they had no involvement in the vampire?
