Actually, I'm pretty sure I've got this covered, but I'm looking for quick confirmation from the Powers That Be.

Situation:

Player A is the Active Player. He controls Steelshanks' Reserves. Player A initiates and wins a MIL challenge against Player B. Player B lets Lucas Blackwood die for claim, triggers his response and gets to declare an unscheduled MIL challenge.

Now, does Player B gain control of Steelshanks' Reserves for the duration of that extra challenge?

I'm pretty sure the answer is 'no', because Player B doesn't really become the Active Player, he just gets to initiate a challenge while Player A is still the Active Player. Plus, the Challenge Phase flow chart in the FAQs clearly states that "A player can only be Active Player once per phase".

Am I right?

Imagine if Blackwood died during the plot phase. Does his controller become the "active player" in a phase that doesn't have an active player?
