Shoes just keep on droppin' as we draw closer and closer to Inferno!

You remember that "dupe rule" we discuss like... all the time on the show?  Well, this issue changes a lot of what we thought we knew about it.  Only, will this turn out to be one of those situations wherein it's far easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission?  Could we be witnessing the beginnings of a schism between The Five and the Quiet Council?

We'll ask questions like that... and many more - today!
