xmag, that's an interesting idea, that healing goes with the seal. For that matter, would any of the pod squad inherit Tess's powers now that she's dead? Or would only Max's powers transfer? Or anyone's powers who has the seal would transfer?? hhhmmm....

This episode, WDAMYK, confirmed some theories I had about the antarian royalty, based on the european royalties in the past. When Max died, Michael inherited the seal. Not Tess, who was still the queen, after all. Not their son (probably too youn). So it would leave Isabel, since she was the king's sister.

BUT it was Michael who inherited the seal. Why ? In my opinion, only males inherite the throne. On Antar, Zan and Ava were married but they didn't have children. As a king, Zan knew that he needed an heir. If he didn't have an heir, the throne would go to... his sister's husband (this is based on the fact that on Earth, Michael inherited the royal seal, not Isabel).

So whoever was married to Isabel was the next king. Now, imagine if Khivar had married Isabel ? We also know that Vilandra and Khivar met during peace treaties. Meaning that Zan and Khivar were already at war when Vilandra and Khivar met. It was in Zan's interest to preserve the throne in case he was killed and without an heir so he married off his sister to his second in command. Who might have been a noble, too.

About the seal allowing to heal, well, Michael was able to heal Isabel when she was shot, and that was because he had the seal. And wasn't there a scene where Max was trying to heal a light injury but couldn't ? I could be wrong since I haven't seen this episode in a long time but I am almost sure that there was such a scene.

And healing is oftenly associated with royalty, in Europe. It's like a divine power.
