That would be a fabulous Challenge topic.

What kind of price would Josef extract from Beth for this favor?

Yes, but did she get attacked by two little Lost Boys? I hope not!



ETA: Oops, I mean Lilly, not Beth.

I love the way Josef (and Jason) can drill right through you with that stare. It's, it's... There are no words.

None. In my mind, there WAS no favor. Josef would have done this anyway -- to protect MIck and to protect the vampire nation.

What she said.

However, I would not put it past him to let Beth believe it.

Leaves you with the impression that he knows much more than he is telling...

Not to mention, he is ethereally beautiful in that scene.

Interesting perspective, Lilly.

The idea that Josef would do it for Beth freely is appealing. I thought he would make it more of a quid pro quo arrangement.

Agreed, although when Jason does it, it's not quite so scary.

I think that Josef enjoys having a secret with Beth. Josef does enjoy having an advantage, and this would give him a bit of an advantage over Beth. But I don't think he would insist that she "pay him back" for it. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he teased her about it.

I think, if anything, Josef's admiration for Beth grew with this request. He finally saw her as someone with Mick's best interest at heart, someone willing to do anything to protect him. Sure, she shot LeeJay, but that was more clear cut. This gesture revealed a kindred spirit in terms of caring deeply about Mick.

Well, of course these guys are gorgeous.

Mick and Josef are two stunningly attractive guys, after all.

I agree with you, Lilly. I think Josef became convinced at this point that Beth was an ally, not a liability.

Well, Josef is certainly going to appreciate that ruthless practicality. What I love there is that he doesn't let Beth lie to herself and think he's going to go off and pay Foster to go away.

Okay, so how is it I'm so agreeable this evening. I agree with both Alle and Lilly on this.

ETA: And Lucky. All y'all are spot on here.

He would have taken care of it no matter what her answer was, but there was a test in there.
