    This episode was very good. I cannot say amazing, but it was good enough to not leave my seat once through the entire episode. It is starting to become increasingly strange to me that hollywood would get rid of this show. I think if anything it showed the human side of Rev. Samuels and that all humans make mistakes. Likewise I would say the same for David. At first I though it was stupid that he lied to King Silas, but think about it. Who would actually tell a potential father in law on the spot that you are dating his daughter and slept with her! Not me! It would take more courage than I have. And I think that is what happened to David. In his heart he was going to tell the king, but being put on the spot was probably too much and he needed to process his hero's secret lifestyle. So I think that this episode really does show that the characters have real moments of greatness and failure. Seriously this was a good episode. The king in less than a minute destroyed what he had been trying to control since he became king: his media image and the people's perception of him. This was a great episode that progressively built off of the previous episodes. And to think that this was based off of the Biblical story of David. This show is a great modern day representation and one that has me wondering what is going to happen next!moreless

    • Silas: (to David) King. All these years, authority unquestioned. You think it's a coincidence they conspire against me now? A monarchy stands on a belief in the singularity of its sovereign, all vectors pointed here. (Silas points to his heart) And then along came you. Oh, and they looked at you, and they thought...how they might improve upon me. Replaceable. You thought to inspire. But you inspired treason. Edit
    • Silas: Be the lamb. Or be the knife. Try to be both, you end up slaughtering yourself. Edit
    • Rev. Ephram Samuels: He is not your enemy Silas you know that. You have a chance to end this now. Make it right. King Silas: Whatever your visions… Rev. Ephram Samuels: He is only becoming what is meant to be. What God intends for this nation. King Silas: Well then he didn't tell me. Rev. Ephram Samuels: Danger's coming Silas. You were supposed to foster it, to nurture it, to see the future improve upon the past. Now you can still have your part, but don't… (Lights go out) King Silas: So that's it. From arcane to tricks? Rev. Ephram Samuels: Don't give God reason to tear from you this kingdom. I have known you to be a man to make mistakes in the name of vanity. But never a villain. King Silas: There was a time, once, not far from memory, when you lost what was most dear to you. And you asked me that those responsible for the death of your wife not be just punished, not be just killed, but that all memory of their existence on Earth be swept clean. And you asked not with the countenance of God, not magic hands, just as a broken man seeking revenge. Your friend did that for you, and you thanked him for it. So who are you now, to ask that friend not to seek revenge on those that would take from him? Be the lamb or be the knife, try to be both, you'll end up slaughtering yourself. Edit
