His name is Hojo, isn't it? Or maybe that's not the person you're thinking about.
Tonight's eppy? Hmm..I don't really have any predictions, except that the Saint might finally be put to rest. At first, I thought Naraku ressurected the Saint with a shard tainted black, as he did with the Ischinitai (and that's why he would be putting up barriers for Naraku and such). But, if you saw the preview, Naraku supposedly 'rescued' the Saint's soul from further darkness and allowed his soul a second chance in the light.
