I had to leave early, so I missed the end of the AP live.
Albert learned that Anna DeLaramie died for the first time this episode. When he asked how that was handled, Adrianne said it was handled politically.
I notice she didn't say she blamed the death on Albert. So, Albert apparently doesn't know why there is a Blood Hunt on him on the Mainland.

Yes. Stork knows, but Albert doesn't.

I think Mac's character feels a lot more like a Caitiff than a Gangrel. She's the classic Caitiff - abandoned by Sire and left to fend for herself. For our Archon friend Tennessee Jones, have the Moties even vetted him as an Archon? I don't recall. It seems like they're just taking his word for it at this point, which could be really bad for them if he's yanking their chains. Did Stu Venable say the "mansion" was 3000 sq ft? That's a tiny mansion... half again as big as my house. Some quick shopping around on Zillow turned up condo-esque mansions in the 9k sq ft range, which feels a lot more "mansion"-y to me. Then again, maybe it's a "we have lots of room here in Texas, vs not so much room in LA" thing. Mac's fangs must be pretty good quality - there's only the barest hint of sibilance when she speaks. Cool. And did Robert just say "I ate the night shift" right in front of the on-site security? (I wonder if the change in his attitude is from recent Humanity loss...)

IIRC: Scully vetted Tennessee Jones via Slack (it was through his Nosferatu network).
I said "McMansion," which is a term used in California for largish houses built very close together in housing tracts. A 3000 sq ft house is definitely on the large size in urban SoCal, FYI.
Re Robert: good catch... he did.

Ah. When I lived in Costa Mesa, it was in a Camden hamster house. We have the same "big houses on golf courses" thing here, but they're definitely larger houses - I set up an aquarium in one that the living room was larger than my house.

Oh, and PLEASE say the Elder Mage that's coming is Porthos Fitz-Empress. Porthos has, as we say, ISSUES.

While the thought of working with mages to help secure the island is tantalizing, Skully is not a fan of this new vista, heh.

So, funny thing, Stu Venable... if you wanna convince Stork to get moving on buying up Humanity, remind him that the lower your humanity, the longer you oversleep every night (p311). The book doesn't give specifics, though.

Oh, holy mackerel, why does Albert trust Robert? Why does Prince Adrianne trust him?
The spot where Albert and Adrianne had encountered a group of Robert hanging out with new-to-them mercenaries, all of them trying to find the Prince, a fantastic opportunity to observe their behavior and vet their loyalty was blithely walked past. It's rare for me to backseat RP this fantastic group of players, but MAN OH MAN it seemed like Stu was dropping big hints about the chance to further observe unseen, and Adrianne even mentioned the effects of witnessing post-call.
It made me shouty.

I'm fairly sure Adrienne has him Bound. I don't know for sure, but I get the feeling. Albert... I think it's the false sense of brotherhood from having the same Sire.
