* How could the boy at the graveyard not have seen that there was someone running? Black people really don't suddenly turn invisible when the sun goes down. Besides, black people weren't such an unusual sight in that town anyway.

* Victorique is definitely a MacGuffinSuperPerson. Her father knows that and keeps her confined as his trump card. But not only does he know that. Victorique is very much aware of this as well and the Ministry of Magic very likely has some knowledge as well. So 1) why doesn't the Ministry of Magic to secure their position just abduct her? 2) why does Victorique unconditionally do every of her fathers' biddings? She could blackmail him for all he's got...

* What is up with the last episode, where [[spoiler:Kujo freaks out about his legs (and it's kind of imply he lost them)? When I saw that I kinda figured either he died in the end, or he'd return to Victorique an amputee, but nope, he WALKS straight to her.]] What in the what?

* Why does Leviathan [[spoiler:kill Ian]], and then even in such an incredibly cruel fashion? That doesn't even make a lick of sense, even with him being in such a desperate position.

* How ''did'' Victorique prevent [[spoiler:the bomb on the bridge from going off? Shooting the bomb or the timer would likely only make things worse]].
** Shooting [[spoiler:the bomb]] [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks always works]].

* What is with the pipe Victorique is always smoking? It doesn't make sense that she actually puts weed in it. Wouldn't it be illegal back then and how come there's never any smoke coming out of it? The only alternative I can think of is that she puts flowers in it and just tastes the aroma.

** And as to the name not being real, that happens all the time in RealLife. Someone gives their child a "unique" (not necessarily a "bad" name, just one which isn't supposed to be too common; a fine example here would be "Cerulea" as a possible female name) name and it doesn't really "exist" until it becomes more popular some years later and thus "accepted" as a possible name.

*** The only way to stop different colored roots looking awful is to cut off the part that has been bleached, or bleach the regrowth. Given the length of her hair, it's pretty clear she kept bleaching it.
