 I have mixed feelings about Alistair.

I can't decide how I feel about Alistair. Grace and Mr. McIntyre were right when they told us - and Amy and Dan - not to trust anyone. He is very confusing. We see he wants to help the kids and somehow feels it is his right to do so, but on the other hand he seems to betray them when it suits him and doesn't feel indebted to them.

Ian is hard to read. We know as a Lucian it is in his nature to be sneaky, but he is such a good actor, I understand why Amy fell for him. He does portray himself like he cares.

I just can't believe that Amy and Dan end up being duped by them. I am glad they still have Nellie, though. She is their rock.
