Yes, with either of those I will pick that show right back up.

BTW (and regarding nothing in the last few days of discussion) haven't they kind of changed the rule of the Crocker family trouble this season on Haven? Last season it seemed as though if an activated Crocker touched blood of the troubled, that killed the troubled person regardless of whether the wound would otherwise have been fatal. But this season touching vampire blood blob hurt it but did not kill it, and touch Mr. 15 minutes blood did not kill him. Even with the Jordan murder, it seemed like Other Crocker had to stab Jordan fatally in order to kill her. Maybe I'm remembering the previous season's rules wrong.

Typo,
I don't remember if blood touching killed the person. I remember that Crocker was empowered, but not that it killed the person.

Well I'm certain that to end a family trouble, one person with the trouble currently activated had to be killed, and the blood touch an active Crocker before death. As to the whether just having blood touch a Crocker killed the person - like you not certain, though I seem to remember it that way. (Given my memory, does not mean a hell of a lot.)

yes, I think that the Crocker had to kill the troubled person and while killing get some of the person's blood on their skin. That kills the troubles down the family line.
Too bad the person killed at the end of the ep didn't seem to have family to speak of. I was so tired of her at that point that I wanted her dead.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought the Crocker had to then kill them, myself. That they got charged up, and this was something Duke didn't like doing, but couldn't resist easily once the pull of the blood was on him.
Jordan was supremely annoying. Enough that I wanted her cured of her trouble but not killed so that a lot of wind would be taken out of her whiny sails, but then she'd have still been on the show, so this way is probably better.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I though the troubled person has to die to kill the trouble for the family, but that absorbing some of the troubled blood would end the trouble for that person.

Didn't he kill the body-jumper to end his personal trouble? They could have engineered a different ending to it if they'd just needed his blood.
