Maybe, but it seemed to me more like Josef was finally admitting that
vampirism *was* a curse, that Mick was right, and that Josef knew it.

I agree that the homoeroticism was downplayed, but it was there.  I
thought it was at the right level for two characters who (presumably)
have no sexual history between them.

The earlier episode where Beth offers her blood to Mick in that desert
shack by baring her neck to him was one of the sexiest things I've ever
seen on TV.  Heteroeroticism, I guess you'd call it.

not become Moonlighting.
