Others have noted Heathcliff's wonderful dressing down of a neonate for not (as Heath sees it, anyhow) doing more to prevent or cover up a potential Masquerade breach, and rightfully so. I really like the response skarecrow36 did for Michael, though.
A lot of people don't like the power games, jockeying for status and so forth that constitute Kindred society. That's fine, it's not to everyone's taste, and there are lots of legitimate ways to play VtR. That said, the dominance games and politics are an essential aspect of a society of predators, and it's nice to see how that is being played out in the thread, by Pia, Heathcliff and Michael. The difference between Michael's internal and external reactions to his being low man on the totem pole was quite striking.
