Each week I keep thinking "there's no way this episode of Dominion is going to top last week's" but then an angel orgy fever dream and dead rebel later I'm still left speechless. I know Gabe's Babes are thanking Vaun Willmont and the writers for that scene (also yes Gabriel's acid trip orgy was important for his character development) but I want to focus on Edward and Claire Riesen's actions last week.

| Straight outta Vega! |
Claire Riesen's Trip to the Dark Side
Was NOT expecting Claire to kill Zoe! I mean I felt that Zoe was finished for sure but I didn't expect Claire to shoot the girl herself! Understandably Claire just suffered a miscarriage, her last remaining connection to Alex gone I can see her doing something drastic and it's not the first time she killed someone. However, in Clementine's case last season it was more a mercy kill. This kill felt more like pay back. Claire has to know that David was behind the sniper that cost her the baby but since David wasn't there Claire's wrath was unleashed on Zoe.

| Claire went gangsta! |
Poor Zoe... Should have shot David in the head instead of the hand. Yet Zoe is partly to blame as she allowed David to derail her at every turn, driving the wedge deeper between her and Claire when Claire made it clear that she wanted to change the city for the better just like Zoe. Now we've come to how this will affect Claire for good or for ill. I feel like this act of brutality will not work in her favor. She may have just created a martyr making the V1s to fight back even harder. Despite their differences Zoe showed that she was willing to talk instead of fight. Now Zoe's seat of leadership is left open for any radical or worse David to take and lead Vega deeper into civil war. The Devil you knew right? Only now we have the other devil we know too well David Whele.

| Is Edward the type of guy who'll doom the human race for family? Hell yes! |
Edward Riesen Joins the Dyad Club
I half expected Riesen to take Julian's deal but only because we know when it comes to his family, Edward will always do the wrong thing. Yet we also know Julian likes to keep things to himself in order to deceive and trick others into doing what he wants for his own benefit. Given what we know from watching the show and reading "Revelations" on SyFy's website we know that Dyads are much different than 8balls. Quick recap: Dyads are disembodied higher angels that fuse together with the human soul living in symbiosis. So what I gather is the higher angel's and human's personalities are fused: those one half hates the other will also but that should be the same for those one half loves then the other half shall love too as well. In that respect I feel Claire will be safe but I doubt she'll see this transformation as a good thing.

| Don't worry who ever you are. You're still an awesome general. |
Claire has developed a distrust of higher angels after Michael basically tricked her into getting Alex to evict Clementine in order to teach him a lesson. She had a falling out with her father because he kept her 8ball mother secret from her and Claire's last memories of her mother were a nightmare (being that she had to smother Clementine's vegetable body). And we don't know which higher angel fused with Riesen. This angel must have done something really bad to have been demoted! Riesen may become one of the bad guys! Riesen may not have been a real general but we know he has the brains otherwise he wouldn't have won the first war. I wouldn't want to face Edward Riesen in a war game.

| People lie. Numbers don't! |
If there's a reunion between Claire and dear old dad I feel like it'll be full of tension. Very excited to see what they'll have to say to each other as Claire isn't a little girl any more. Riesen may offer his help but Claire may not even want it. Why should she anyway? Despite some set backs Claire's pretty capable of leading Vega and Julian's plans for the human race is one of slavery not peace. But we'll have to see how the Riesens' actions will impact things next episode.
