There he goes! Lil’l Joe, commin atcha!
If I live to be a thousand I guess I’ll still remember those words said just before I pulled the trigger on my first battle rifle.

Not meant as a spoiler alert, but wouldn’t it be a great statement if she has a successful plan to make Blood go away, all by her little self? The sort of thing her mother would do.
Well… It could be, “He likes me. Too bad…” but I don’t see that happening.
If the Blood character truly had an inkling of what Zed was capable of, tactically, and as a father, he would have left Texas already. Let alone Zed, Sam, Jo, Jeff, Tabasco, the ‘dogs’,
She’s telling herself “He likes me”, but it’s probably more “He wants me.”
Not Sam Ting…

That doesn’t seem to be a giggling comment “He likes me”. More like devilish. The look in her eyes leads me to believe she knows something. What’s with the 3 in the background?

I fear Mari is about to get a SERIOUS Life Lesson. Is she at least packing?
I hope to Immortal Grollosen that Jo is out there, cleverly disguised as a chrome bumper!
She’s in Texas, it’s mandatory to carry and if it isn’t then it should be 😉 Speaking of, whatever happened to that town where every able bodied man was required by local ordinance to own a firearm ?
Just as a side comment I have see this scene in action movies a lot. The regulars are having a nice peaceful time until the hero walks in uninvited. The hero ignores the warnings he isn’t welcome in their establishment. Some one does something stupid and then the hero proceeds to cause hundreds of dollars of damage to the establishment and injuries to the participants who didn’t know they were being trapped.
Does this show Blood the issues with the people he is bringing in and cause him to rethink his actions? Is he thinking of Zed and seeing his life flashing before his eyes? Does he feel anything for the young woman he has put in danger?
Tune in tomorrow for another episode of “As the Blood Drips.”
What’s with the ol’ blue Caddie convertible in front of the “tandoori”? I thought that was Kiko’s ride. Was it loaned out for the trip to town, or is Kiko there too, waiting in the wings, covertly keeping an eye on her twin?

as much as I hate him I hope he gets there in time
My first thought as well. His too, judging from his reaction. Maybe Mari will finally get a clue.
Either she will or he will. And Zed gives hard clues.
Help a newcomer.
Browsed past posts, still unclear on Blood.
Everyone is, could go either way, either he comes to his senses and flies right, backs off, or gets backed off. Half the fun is in the guesswork.
Ah, the other shoe is ready to drop. Should be good.

Mari’s not Kiko and she’s certainly not Sam. She’s oblivious here – look at her thought bubble. I foresee this taking a very bad turn for her.

Not a d* thing!
Ignorant and narcisistic violence is what spurs their pea-brains. Pea soup it is! Blood gets to bat clean-up.
Planning on taking her out back.

Seems like there are nothing but bad acters in this scenario.
Mari, condition Red!
Hmm, i’ve seen that before IYKYK!
I suspect Blood knows what Zed will do if harm comes to kid. He may not be counting on what Red would do, which would be a lot worse.
Seems Mari is focused on her dreams, rather than potential danger, based on the thought balloon.
Lack of situational awareness can be fatal.
