Before the episode: I refuse to believe that Erica's dead until they show us her body on-screen.
After the episode: I refuse to believe that Erica's dead until we see her body in multiple contexts and have the other characters repeatedly refer to her as dead and cut her in half and bury her under a wolfsbane spiral and Jeff Davis and Gage Golightly and at least one other person associated with the show confirm that she's really dead and you know what even then I'm gonna be skeptical until at least the end of season 3B.
