I got there and...Nate was dead already...
she'd tried to force him to give her one of
his 'human pets'...When he refused, she just...

From what we could figure out, her control

nearby.

Then...Lamia noticed Amber... she went ballistic
when Stephen told her they were actually married.
We had to do something... I needed to get her
away from them...and try to keep her from
ordering me or Stephen to rip Amber's throat out
--because he was being hit a lot harder...
I was afraid he...might not be able to stop himself
if Lamia actually said it...
