* LoveRedeems: Played with. Odalia's long standing love for Lilith is the only reason that Lilith gets through to her and even manages to convince her to at least ''try'' to be a better mother to her children, but Lilith is clear from the start that nothing romantic will ever come of that love. It's less "love redeems" and more "love is an exploitable weakness that can be used for good."

It results in Boscha being thrown into a dask with enough force to crack it ''and'' the wall behind it, and knocks her unconscious for the rest of the day, but it might have killed Luz.
