What bothered me about the break up - then, was the sudden change 
in Cawti.  One minute she's an assassin - the next she's a 
revolutionary.  Now, looking back and factoring in that everything we 
know about her is filtered through Vlad, it seems a bit easier to accept.  
I mean, she could have always had revolutionary leanings and Vlad 
just "ignored" that because it bothered him, or he didn't understand it.

I hope I'm being clear enough.  It's been a long week - I will apologize 
in advance if I unintentionally offended anyone  ;-)
