Gaga's best acting as of yet. She's proving to be a well thought of character after all. In the second episode she was talking about the heartbreak thing Tristan dragged her for in this one. The thing I don't get is if Liz knew about how the Countess reacts to those who betray her (Ramona getting with that hunky guy and then him getting his head blown into pieces by the countess) why would she tell her.
If the countess can hear heartbeats then for sure she knows something's up with Iris, from the previous episode.
The thing is I think Gags will try to go back to Donovan now and then he'll be conflicted whether to betray Ramona and get in Countess' good graces or go through with whatever plan they have.
Alex's character is so inconsistent it's annoying. She saved that little boy who turned into a mass murderer cause she loves children but she hates her own? When did she become this evil wench? Her character development doesn't make any sense, at least John was a psycho from the get go. Unless she turns out to be the 10CK this is just bad writing.
Liz and Tristan, although I love where this is going (Gags will probably meet her demise by Liz's hand, the buildup in the previous episode, this), when the hell did they fall in love with eachother. Makes, zero sense.
Bartholomew was the best part of this episode for me, that and Gaga/Liz/Tristan.
I honestly hope we see more of him.
My favorite episode so far 10/10. minus the sex...
the story is consistent with The Countess plan marrying Will and every other sub-plot 
) but the only pointless sex scene was the one with The Countess and Will Drake, lol.
