No new thread yet at AOL, but the above link is pretty good.

As far as tonight's show: I'll tread lightly because I (and others) like to catch the second showing that will start in about 30 minutes.

But before the show, I read a few articles online. One of them said we would learn a very basic truth about Vic in tonight's show. And we did.

At the end, we're left with two overlying assumptions for what might unfold during and after the upcoming drug bust. In my mind, only one of the possibilities will fit with the foundation the show has laid.

OK. To me, it's crystal clear that Vic is not going to throw Ronnie under the bus. He'll attempt to make the bust so Corinne gets immunity.

Then, if the bust is successful, things get interesting. Somehow he has to warn Ronnie without compromising his deal. I fully expect a fake death to come into the equation here.

The other complication: I expect someone, either Olivia or Claudette, to slam Aceveda for allowing all of the Strike Team's illegal activities. Then he'll show up, along with any number of others, under the delusion they'll arrest Ronnie after the bust. That way, Aceveda can claim he tried to take action "once he found out what had taken place without his knowledge."

This episode is coming soon in reruns.

Obviously I was wrong on most of those predictions, but Aceveda did show up at the scene to claim some credit.
