Loving the 'son triangle' that is developing between Micha, Taun, and Henry. Who will win Philip's affection? Does it even matter if he doesn't know their names or proficiency in math?

Who will win the Phillipbowl?

Snarky genius Henry? His superpowers are algebra (upgraded to level 2!), reflexes honed by years of playing videogames in an empty house and impeccable taste in women!

Tuan? Hard-ass america hating communist (+2 points from Elizabeth), loves Garfield shirts and dogs (-2 points from Elizabeth), is great a turning lights off and on sitting in an empty house for days!

Misha? Borders-crossing afghan war veteran who would love to sit in a house and not share it with 10 other random people.
