Remember, reading ahead can only work for so long.

On the one hand, yeah she can't know everything at once, especially since this is her first encounter with a demon.

On the other, I'm surprised Steward of everyone here is letting her get caught up.

I'm surprised it took even that long to connect the demon and Steward. They are really going to need to step up their game.

With wings, horns, a full tail and, probably, smelly breath.

Tarot, c’mon, dear girl,
stop being being quite like you.
Cut the gang here some slack
with what they’re going through.
Lois doesn’t quite match
your level on Demon lore;
she’s not even met one
if you’re keeping a score.
Well, I mean until now
but she’s learning at pace
as she looks out and down
at four storeys of space...

Be like Tarot! Inform yourself before giving an opinion

Why can't people ever let you read in peace?

Just what I was going to say! I mean, I know he's trying to keep them from "escaping his influence" but just standing there seems callous, unless he, himself, is interested in learning what's going on

Is it me or is Tarot still holding just a wee bit of a grudge over not being able to be the hero from Temple Crashers 2? I dunno, just the way she's acting and such (I'm thinking that book is a way for her to have an advantage) right now is making me think that.

Well of course she is! She's been trained to 'be the hero' all her life and, on every occasion, someone's beaten her to it!

Wellp, the window's open now, they can get Marion out of the car, he can jump off the building and get out of Steward's influence and bring the whole scheme down.

"That's not fair. That's not fair at all. There was time now. Time enough at last."

Easily the best episode of the series, with a lot of contenders. iirc it was episode 3. Sterling started off strong.

Poor Tarot. She just can't seem to catch a break!

Tarot recognized that this demon is Steward, who lived at Jessica's home and is their friend. Seems that she got the book that was asking for. There's indeed a connection between the cursed coin, who Steward got and transformed him into a badger, and Keene... :roll: Eh, poor Tarot, she's using so much her psychic mind, ultimately. :| You'll get your rest, sooner or later. ;) Yeah, you all could get out the car from that window...

Lois really should be a bit more patient and understanding with Tarot. She explained everything to them so let her try to orientate herself so she knows how to solve the problem.

Probably not a good idea to point out mistakes when it is obvious who someone means because that can really annoy some people.

you know when is he gonna realize that he's preettty much giving keene EXACTLY what he wants? I mean, if everyone becomes a animal it isnt like they ALL are gonna go into Keene's animal help group. society would just eventually restructure itself into being animal inclusive after a certain point that keene would need to spend money for.

Steward's plot to destroy Keene is to bankrupt him and he is doing that by turning everybody into animals so Keene will have to spend all of his money on it. Though I'm not sure if Steward knows that Keene took a step back and is living out of the mansion and Lana is now in charge of the ECP.

Whether Steward know Keene stepped back is immaterial. Steward sees this as his revenge. Keene could be lounging on a beech and this is likely what he would still be doing.

I would have thought that by this point though he would just decide to go after Keene directly or hurt him by taking someone he loves which one would know is Breel.

To 'coin' a term, power corrupts,
As the 'bad'gers gone from there to worse,
So cross your fingers, cats and pups,
'Cause we're about to see the power of a demon curse.

They've been playing catchup the whole way,
Give the pom some time to rest,
But seeing as the fight's now, today,
This time, Tarot, might not be best.

Now Tarot has all the time in the world to catch up. Since she teleported herself in the car to avoid certain death! :D
