Tol-in-Gaurhoth LII: Star Crossed II: Together for Eternity

I must say I'm really getting troubled with this... Fea answers Gwath and points at Brinn's post about "knowing" that Eomer is not what he says he is:

Now if they were lovers they would exactly not do that, right? It would be most stupid indeed for a last pair of lovers to behave that securely against the revealments made. So even suggesting that Fea looks very fishy indeed.

Any other possibilities? I mean I'm a bit confused by the rush and confidence of the way people here reveal or hint that they actually know better. It kind of points towards this being a really deciding moment and not a Day when we just have two lovers and seven innocents left - and whence an innocent dying this Day and probably one the coming Night - would leave us with five innocents against two baddies toMorrow.

I have been from the beginning of the opinion that there being only two pairs of lovers in this-sized village would be unbelievable. I'm not sure whether we got a pair more last Night or was it there from the beginning but looking at it there being four baddies able to win together around right now would explain this rush and certainty.

I mean with nine villagers left of which four being baddies able to win together we would indeed be playing our last Day unless we got it right toDay!

But even granted that, Fea's point about Brinn and Gwath looks bad because to believably make it she should then "know" the situation to be as dangerous as I described it - and she should have known the direness of our situation already yesterDay when she decided to reveal herself. And we have heard nothing about it.

Instead of describing that scenario to us she uses pretty lame defences / counter-accusations like:

Of course I could understand why a Lover would want to dissuade the village from trusting the identities of a revealed pair of innocent-gifteds. If one of us dies today, and not the Lovers, that gives the Lovers another night to kill with impunity.

and:

Why must you be so blatant, Brinniel, in your attempts to manipulate the village into accidentally killing two of its most powerful members?

Of which the first actually counter-argues against the direness of our possible situation (the loss we'd have would only be that of giving the lovers a free kill the next Night) and the second is merely a rhetorical piece with all that "most powerful members" -stuff I kind of don't think is an argument at all.

Or do we have here lovers (some or all of them) finally going after each other openly? But why would they do that? Shouldn't they do that during the Night at this phase of the game and not get that attention?

Thinking, thinking, thinking... and watching the elections...

EDIT: X'd with Brinn and Gwath... Well, well, well...
