I hate to say it, but I kind of found myself agreeing with Tel re: Ripp and his secret plot with Juliet. Whatever Juliet thinks she's orchestrating here could seriously backfire and end up with someone - Ripp, most likely - getting hurt. I think Tel's beginning to see that, hence the hesitation. I think he should follow his gut instincts on this on and not his girlfriend.

Of course, that would put an end to all the wonderful, angsty moments with Ripp and Tel... *is divided for a moment*

I have to wonder though, about Juliet... for someone so opposed to people meddling in the lives of others (Consort dictating what she and Tybalt do with their lives, for example), she certainly has no trouble manipulating other people's lives. I don't think the end result is going to something she'll like very much.
