Miranda: Yes, hello! Thank you both for being here today! ♥ My name is Mandy, and my question is for the Congressman. Mr. Bennett . . .
. . . I challenge you.

On one hand, I’m impressed with this way of out Bennett.
On the other hand, I’m also hearing Cohen spew his drink all over the television set.
Hmm, has anyone got into consequences of not accepting a challenge? I don’t remember.
I think the important thing here is that the public doesn’t know Bennett has a Being – while he’s actively lobbying for anti-Being laws and using his own Being to terrorize people to buy into it. Either way, the challenge will at least “out” him as a master & maybe even make Cybele show up so anyone can make the connection between both of them.
Smart move, Miranda. Of course, Ann Walker will now know how the Being situation in the Cohen family is.
Ah, I misread that comment. I think we don’t have one for individual challenges, on the other hand, we got to see what happened if you never accept a challenge. Nothing beyond that.
Or, second option, Cohen is steepling his fingers and saying, “Just as planned”.
Doubt that. Miranda has been taking pains to keep Poe away from him ergo the knowledge that she’s a Master now too.
GAME ON! I’m curious how he’ll actually react to be honest.
Oh, SNAP! Mandy is taking no prisoners, here.
I’m going to suppose that ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about’ isn’t a valid response.
At this point we can only presume that Bennett HAS to respond and is thus “outed” as a hypocrite, possibly bringing his political career to a fiery conclusion… and God help him if it becomes known that his Being is the mayhem-causing Rabbit.
Still wondering, though, what might Miranda’s motivation be to do this? She can’t really be doing this with Cohen’s blessing, right? And with Sparrow witnessing this in the audience (and likely being drawn into a potential battle), are she and Bianca going to trust Miranda around Patrick again?
AWWWWWWW SNAP. Shizz just got real, for real!
Wait, he can’t turn down a challenge, right? It’s against the Being Code or whatever? So even if he doesn’t accept, he and Cybele will enter the World of the Game anyway and Poe will start kicking their ass until they accept, right?
I’m pretty sure you can turn down a Challenge. Bianca has needed considerable persuading and conditions before accepting some challenges.
That’s not the same as turning down though, considering she’s relented every time and accepted.
I think the problem here might not be tuning down a challenge. I think it’s probably IGNORING it that would throw the excrement in the air circulator.
