2. As for the rest of the volume, we're getting to the point of no return for the events that will play out. People are drawing their lines and choosing their sides. The characters for theirs, the civilians for theirs, but some haven't. Especially Ilia. She is wavering. I just hope whatever path she chooses won't come back to haunt her.

3. I knew Blake had to get to Mistral somehow, but I had a suspicion that the only way to get there in time is if the WF kidnap her and take her to Adam. I really hope it won't go that route and she'll find a way to get there without coming to that. 1. Arryn said that her most emotional scene was this volume, so either at least one parent dies, Sun dies, Ilia dies, or Blake gets extremely emotional when talking to Ilia.

2. The show has been setting up a redemption for her, so it seems like a Foregone Conclusion that she will turn good.

3. I doubt that Adam will successfully kidnap Blake. M&K said they wanted this volume to be more hopeful to avoid Darkness Induced Audience Apathy, and Blake being kidnapped wouldn't fit that. More likely what will happen is that after whatever happens to the Belladonna's, they'll have to leave Menagerie due to it being not safe and a lost cause, and go to Haven themselves to stop the WF.
