The Following – The Poet’s Fire Recap

by

Does The Poet’s Fire episode of The Following leave you with the impression that Joe is grooming Emma to take over?  I know I feel that way after watching the episode.  She seems to be in control of the rest of the group, at least what we have seen of it so far.  It also reinforces the “don’t trust anyone” theme that is playing through this twisted tale.
