1. Accidental bastard child of the Sundered Houses? Could be fun to place him in opposition to the established power structure. Presumably, they've got the bastard kids situation pretty well locked down, but it could happen. Provides additional pressure on Azune, who wants so badly to be useful, if he gets an offer to fold him into the powers that be. Double agent route, possibly?

2. Azune was in close proximity to frontline combat magic in the episode two cold open. Given the precedent established by Wick's grandmother using mysterious celestial bodily fluids, a spell, and a "wish" to create a new sorcerous bloodline, I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility for prolonged exposure to significant concentrations of sorcery to leave aftereffects. Thinking about radiation a little bit here. What does it mean for the consolidation of sorcery as a bloodline power if you can, in fact, pass on sorcery by using it on someone else a little too much? Risky for the Sundered Houses. On the one hand, they could forcibly recruit outside their immediate descendants, allowing them to bring promising protégés into the fold. On the other, they would risk creating newly empowered enemies wherever they threw around enough power.

   The question -- honest and devoid of judgement, though Dakota knows there’s plenty to judge -- gives him pause. His eyes drop as he falls into a frown, trying to piece together what he can of Friday night. It’s- spotty. 

   He knows for sure that he blacked out, and he hates that he got that drunk, but the rest of the night is fuzzy as well -- Dakota can only remember snatches and impressions past a certain point. He has an image of Bobby’s face close to his, of hands on his cheeks and in his hair, but there’s no context for it. He doesn’t know what it means.

   (He’s thought about it more than once over the weekend.)

   “I...parts.” His voice comes out too quiet, too uncertain, too muted by the slow drip of dread in his stomach that he chases with the last few sips of his third coffee. Bobby doesn’t usually act like this, and it’s kicking up flags in the back of Dakota’s brain. 

Finally, we have a recent revelation for Bolaire about Rauwyn's influence over the halfling afterlife, suggesting that his work as a god-killing weapon may not be entirely complete. Now, while I am sure Thjazi had many reasons for keeping a close eye on Bolaire, learning Thjazi's plan for the afterlives immediately suggests to me a possibility for Bolaire to become an afterlife anchor, whether by embracing his belief in his status as an object and allowing himself to be reforged, or by embracing his belief in his status as a person and reforging himself. Either way, he's had ample opportunity to witness the work of reforged Pariah Blades as an example that god-killing weapons absolutely can become something else with a little intentional effort. Hopefully, he'll take note of that.
