1. Stephen: Last week Stephen had a spike of 3, the most he's ever had, and he had a plan to hatch regarding a big move against the alpha, Joe MacGuyver. Seemingly it got put on the back burner with the merge episode, and Stephen's one confessional told us about new school merge dynamics, need 7 for the majority. With the tease for next week in the promo, looks like his story from last week, the big move, is coming up again and could be front and center. We can see from the promos that Stephen is getting confessionals next week, a spike perhaps? Will the big move plan bite him?

I think that it is possible that the increased attention to Savage is due, in part, to the fact that he becomes Stephen's target.

And/Or ...

I wonder if it may be that Stephen postpones his quest (or abandons it entirely) only to have the Ta Keo (III) coalition convince the mainline alliance that his plot is alive and well and aimed at one of their own. And, as a result, a (relatively) innocent Stephen is sent packing: blindsided by both divisions of his Tribe.

Too, I wonder, if the question of whether or not Stephen may have an Idol comes up, what Jeremy will do/say.
