Favorite Five

This is Day 12

1. Peter, er Eli, and his adopted surrogate son bond over some megalomania monologuing
2. Anne should tip toe around anxious mothers with the test tube baby blues
3. Orphan Soren is the perhaps shining hope of St. Germain
4. Alan is going to end this, guns a-blazing
5. The mother tree is everywhere and nowhere

• What happened to Landry-moto and Sister Amy?
• What happens of Caleb or Julia in the future?

• Will Kyle and Sarah manage to get the cure for “Mycosis” off St. Germain?
• Does Soren make it off the island? Is his biology still a key to replicating the Mycosis cure along with the bleeding tree?
• If Peter/Eli and Anne get control of the Bleeding Tree cure for Mycosis, can they really hold the world for ransom?
• What would Peter/Eli and Anne do with millions of dollars on St. Germain?
• Is Alan’s intuition right about the improbable existence of Narvik C?
