Quote from the movie:
Selene: Why are you helping me?
Erika: I'm not. I'm helping me.

I read the last sentence by Erica as saying "by preventing you from becoming his queen", so I think Underworld matching all tests is dubious.

Your reading of the last sentence is correct. I, however, feel that Underworld does not pass the test. Erica ruins it every time.

Faythe disagreed with the rating and said:
Erica caught Selene looking at victors tome which in then caused a conversation about victor -- fail.

When Erica saw Selene looking at the security camera, she goes "He's attractive, for a human at least" - Fail

They do talk about the party and Amelia's envoy coming.

Its not a long convo, only a couple sentences, but its not about any of the guys and names a 3rd woman (Who is a recurring character in the series )
