Have we seen wings on Doubt before? Tina has manifested them a couple of times.

We've seen Monica's demons out and about without her before.

But I think the bigger revelation is that McBride and Platt seem to be outside Monica's museum. I thnk they've been assigned to the Jaguar Girl.

Hmmm, was anyone else thinking that the past week was a flashback of some sort? Or was that just me?

Awwww. Doubt has a couple of new play toys. I hope they last longer than the others.

Doubt's a demon, and therefore a fallen angel. Those aren’t nice white wings, and neither is Doubt.

The good news is that Doubt won’t kill them. After all, the dead don’t suffer (well, not without more work than Doubt wants to do).

The bad news is that Doubt won’t kill them, because they will subject themselves to all kinds of mental tortures waiting for her to do it.

I don't think wapsiverse demons are fallen angels (even though we haven't seen a definition of a Wapsi angel so far...)
The y just seem to be an ancient ever-present force. That may change, though

If they are being assigned to Monica - the question is for what? After all, she has a full security detail of demons - or are these for the corporeal threats that the demons can't touch?

Demons on the supernatural side, vampires on the other...quite the layered defense you got going there.

The only mention of angels, that I can recall, is here, from Nudge, as she introduces herself to Monica. "I have never personally met an angel..." Nudge is under no obligation to tell the truth, but assuming she is, that statement excludes angels from being demons or other divinelike beings that we've seen, such as Titans. So that's sort of a definition of what they are not, without being a complete acknowledgement that they exist at all.

I don't believe we've seen any demons with wings, with one very high profile exception. And I kinda... doubt that Blackwing is any more a real demon than Nudge was.

So I don't think this is Monica's Doubt. She's inside enjoying the stardom. I think this is the Blackwing being out of Tina, going off the corporate campus.

And someone has left Pratt and McBride out as bait.

Someone over at Facebook suggested this might be Tsillah. She was worried about her look being too severe, so we know that she can seem to be whatever she wants.
Impressive, whoever it is. I suppose if that were the last thing on earth I set eyes on, I could die happy.

No time to look for it now, but yes, Paul has confirmed that the arc with Mr. Meatsnak and the eventual transfer of the two vampires is indeed a flashback.

Which kind of makes me wonder how this will be resolved, seeing as we already know that those two make it out of it safely, yet without Monica knowing who they are, later on... Unless we're back in the present, and that flashback was really recent...
