What path will Alby take now that Dale has died?

[BigLoveRocks!]

I thought a poll on Alby would be fun. Now that Dale has died, which path do you think Alby will take?

I predict that Alby will take out his anger/pain on many, starting with Lura!

I see this as a way to unite Alby and Nikki. Nikki and Alby were talking about his relationship and she told him that she loved him no matter what. They have always had a weird relationship, but were quickly bonded by their crappy relationships with their parents. Now, Alby has lost a love due in to small part to his upbringing at Juniper Creek. Nikki has also lost a love in Ray and that was lost in no small part due to her upbringing at Juniper Creek.

Now, it can be argued that Alby would have never met Dale had he not been involved with Juniper Creek (same for Nikki), but the fact does remain that they did meet and it was that past that was able to cause such heartache. Nikki being Roman's daughter made Ray not trust her. Alby's wife, along with Bill, were what pushed Dale over the edge and those relationships formed at Juniper Creek.

I see it being a way for Nikki and Alby to join forces, much like we got a taste of later in season 3. And when those two are working together, there is no telling what kind of damage they can do!

I think this will all pit Lura against Alby - Alby may try to kill her for revenge, and Lura may out him to the JP community for revenge. I wonder whether their role in Roman's near-death will even come up - they were both equally guilty, and Roman didn't die. It MAY come up because Lura will swear to Alby she only did it out of love for Alby, but he betrayed her so she, in turn, betrayed him.

I think this is going to make Alby mean as a rattle snake and when he finds out Laura was behind it, whoa buddy! Let the scheming begin. Laura is not going down without a fight. This is going to get ugly.

Maybe Lura will no longer have "Father's Ear" and he will put her OFF the schedule. LOL!

While I do believe that Lura has a wicked, mean streak in her, I also believe that she truly loves Alby. She was sobbing hysterically when she saw Alby and Dale. I do not think she told Dale's wife to be mean or evil; I think she just wanted her husband back. I'm not taking up for her, just trying to understand where she is coming from.
