Natalia is doing a fine job, especially for a newcomer. I really enjoyed her performance today (1/16) when she went to the police station to tell Nikolas about Zander. I felt so bad for her. She was crying and shaking; you could tell how scared and confused she was. Part of her hates Zander and wants him dead, another part of her thinks there's still hope for him, and another part of her is feeling guilty (still) for his actions. It was classic victim logic.

I loved how Nikolas was able to console her while at the same time it was apparent that he was scared for her. These two are so tender with each other -- it really tugs at your heart strings.
