Episode 10 Summary

April 22nd
-The council talks over webcam with Floyd Barrows, Greer's ambassador, about a mutual protection alliance. Barrows says that for Greer's council to be willing, they would need something from Newton--they're confident they don't need Newton's help. They decide to make an overture to Cody instead.
-The man from Intel is still waiting for Anders to bring up his case to the council. Thomas Newton hears about him and takes an interest.
-Virgil has been spreading rumors that New Eden is trying to extort Newton, hoping to drum up business. There's a protest underway against New Eden in Newton. Bryant tells Corwin that he can only give the surveyors from New Eden the runaround for a little longer before they start to get suspicious.
-Lucius is pleased with the reports he's hearing of the insurgency in New Eden. He has his mercenaries make a delivery of a bunch of money in Greer dollars to the insurgents.
-Lorraine finds Thomas waiting for her in his office. He's pissed Lorraine is continuing to support Corwin and making little show of being Newton's leader. He says if she's not willing to lead she should step down in favor of someone who can. He calls her Corwin's lackey, they yell, she slaps him, he storms out.
-Dutch meets Virgil in Smacky's. He wants Virgil's help escorting his wife out of Newton and somewhere safe.
-Ophelia gets word that someone with a lot of money to burn is financing New Eden's rebels.

April 23rd
-The council meets with Cody's prime minister by webcam. He is in favor of an alliance with Newton, but says it'll be hard for it to pass parliament with the perception that Newton is in bed with New Eden. To dispel this perception, the coucil decides to send their refusal of New Eden's offers.

April 24th
-Newton's decision to cut ties with New Eden is all over the news.
-Anders takes an extremely angry call from Lorenzo.
-Virgil gets an offer from an anonymous source to disrupt Greer's supply caravans to the front line between New Eden and Greer (which are not currently in a shooting war, but getting close). He needs the money, but is not sure whether to take it or not.
-Dutch tells his wife he wants to send her away for now. She doesn't like it, but agrees for the sake of keeping their unborn child safe.
-Virgil decides to send a reply that he's not willing to take the job without meeting the person offering it in person.
-Dutch comes in, Virgil has a frend in Cody who has a house that should be safe for his wife. It'll cost Dutch a ton of money, but he agrees.

April 25th
-Dutch's wife leaves Newton.
-Dutch visits Ophelia. He wants any information she gets about the mobsters, and he wants it instead of Corwin (in breach of Ophelia's deal with Corwin). Again, it costs Dutch a ton of money. She reveals that some mobsters are already on their way to Newton.
-Ophelia bumps into one of her old informants who stopped feeding her information. It turns out he's in town looking for a new buyer for his information. They talk in the back room, he tells her that he won't deal with her any more because of her ties to Corwin, and that others feel the same way--she's not part of the underworld any more. She tells him she's just playing Corwin. He reveals that he's recording their conversation, but before he can get a word out to extort her she stabs him dead. Ophelia gets Virgil and his men to help her dispose of the body, and then goes on to decide to put out the rumor that what actually happened, happened to try and buy back some cred.
-Eva and Captain Sheridan are told to make ready for potential military action, even though they are now underfunded and undermanned. One of the remaining soldiers mentions that his cousin works for Lucius, who pays well. Eva goes and visits Lucius, asks him to help fund the militia; he agrees to support them, implicitly in exchange for favors.

April 26th
-Cody's parliament is in the middle of deliberations for the Newton support bill.
-Ophelia tells Dutch about a mobster named Gerard Finner who is looking for Dutch, just spotted two hours outside town.
-The news suddenly comes through that the Greer colonel in charge of the frontline defense against New Eden has defected to the other side, taking with him about 20% of Greer's forces and a substantial amount of Greer military hardware.
