We get our first look at Amanda (the 3-D version) wearing the hideous pink CD Tate original. And instinctively, she knew to pin the jeweled brooch exactly where he painted it.
Was that fair warning? I think so. Though of course "bargaining" implies cooperation, but we know that Petofi doesn't play well with others. So his statement that there's going to be a "bill" for payment due shouldn't have been news to Quentin. And I'm kinda thinking it woudn't qualify as a miilestone, but that's me.
Now there are Beth, Angelique, Charity and Amanda all vying for Quentin.An early version of Psychos for Selby, ha!
I don't, so far, see any indication that either of them is feeling anything more than lust.Same here. Their attraction seems purely superficial at this point.

I keep having this problem with Petofi stating there will be a price for removing the werewolf curse from Quentin. I know that when Quentin was a werewolf, he would have agreed to anything at all in return for freedom from the curse - but it still bugs me. Even Angelique stated her terms to Quentin before she set about helping him - although I daresay that was only because she knew she couldn't force Quentin to marry her, so she had to get his prior consent.And here I was thinking that what Petofi said constituted a nice bit of continuity. This is part of a scene from #801/2 in which Petofi tells Quentin that there would be a price for helping him; Petofi alluded to it in the current ep when he told Quentin, "You begged for help (and I gave it to you)":
Quentin shakes the latter opener threateningly at Petofi, demanding the cure. Don't anger him, begs Magda. Petofi asks her, should I hypnotize Quentin?--or paralyze him completely, leave him here, and when the moon comes out--would you like that, gypsy? Magda begs Q, let him go! For once, you are right, says Petofi, slamming his hand down on Quentin's wrist, making him drop the weapon. Nursing his injured wrist, Quentin asks, in a heartbreaking voice, "Why won't you help me? If you know what it's like, why won't you?" To get something, you must pay the price, says Petofi--a little bargaining, perhaps. I'm willing to bargain, says Quentin. You're only willing to cringe, says Petofi, to make inept excuses--you must learn--I paid my price (he holds up his false hand) you must pay yours!
