"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I shudder to think of what Jason would be like under Maryanne's influence

I think you have an answer to that:

He probably would be arrested for having wild sex with a tree.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I'm holding out hope mainly because I sense that this storyline is going to give Andy the opportunity to do something awesome and I am living for that day. I do enjoy those Bellefleurs.

yes, I wait anxiously. I didn't think that she was going to have them eat it, I thought that she was going to eat it. I would have liked it better if it had looked less like blood, so that it would have been less obvious to Tara and Eggs, or if they had shown some reluctance to its initial appearance.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

This. I'd at least like to know why Tara, and what she wants with Sam, cause it has to be more than just sacraficing him.

Well, we saw that she took his virginity and that he stole money from her and ran away. Mary Ann strikes me as the kind of "person" who will not forgive someone leaving her, she has to cast them away.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Also, Daphne said that Mary Ann has a thing against other "supers" because she can't mind control them. She needs for them to come to her and offer her their love and worship and Sam didn't do that, so I'm sure she's extra salty at him. I can't figure out the Tara angle at all, though. Why her and not a million of the other tragically broken figures in the town?

as I recall, she got Tara out of jail, so Tara's despair might have been a little stronger than the others at that point. Plus, if Mary Ann was looking for someone for Eggs, Tara fit the bill.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, Tara got a DWI. And I'm sure Mary Ann has developed kind of a nose for these things.

See, I didn't want to take it there because it makes me feel a little bit icky that Mary Ann would have been looking for another little brown person to complete her set. Yuck.

It is just wrong to call that fine man Eggs. Come on!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

she seems to prey particularly on people with low self-esteem. So, Tara certainly fit that bill. People with high self-esteem wouldn't be snowed by MaryAnn's particular ways of relating.

Tara also has a decent-sized libido and a whole lot of passion/anger on a good day.

I don't think that it was necessarily race that made Mary Ann choose her. She was angry, which is one of Mary Ann's powers. Also, she's pretty much the only attractive single woman that we've seen on the show.
