The plot thickens, as Humbert Allen Astredo returns as a new character who brings the worse possible example of regifting. Judah takes over Gerard here. Let the sneering begin!
I'm not quite sure how to describe what has happened. In a way, it's a retread of the Quentin/Petofi mind swap. But it's somewhat different. For whatever reason, Judah was not able to fully possess Desmond. He didn't seem to try with either Leticia or Julia. Maybe Gerard's dubious values made him a better fit.
The discussion about Judah's powers, specifically that his body may be killed but his persona is virtually immortal will be ignored later. But his plans for revenge against Valerie and the Collins family will soon become the driving storyline.
The Trask chapel is the place to be! Lorna Belle, who is apparently one of those new professional women, seems to have come in from a shift on the docks, is quite a character. Trask obviously seems to think she is beneath him. Gerard tries to pick her up, inviting her to a private memorial. She doesn't tell Trask but blabs it to Quentin which will backfire in good time.
Lorna obviously isn't very street smart or she would have hightailed it out of there. Somewhat of an odd choice for a sacrifice but, hey, what do I know.
Her body turns up pretty quickly. On her forehead, is a marking that is identical to the one on Quentin's ring. Looks like the frame up has begun.
