Yes, and they need her help and someone else's we knew in high school. But, I don't like that they came to everyone separately and also MARKED Damian and Katherine?
As far as I know Damian is the only one marked. But I'm also willing to bet that Kirsanov is one of the casters of this curse, so the sooner he gets taken off the board, the better for Damian.
[But he also knows that this is Lydia, so he's not applying any pressure.]
Sam. He won't be the only one. You and Dean and Elena are after the others. Do you think this happens to everyone that takes out an Inner Circle member's real body?
I don't like any of this. I was on board when it made sense, when we were taking out a coven of evil, but we are five red flags past doing this with no other qualms.
I think we need to keep in mind that these bodies were buried at least three centuries ago if not more. The traps they placed there could have been lost to anyone but the Inner Circle. And they might not have used the same thing twice.
We'll be more careful moving forward, now that we know what's out there. But that doesn't change the choice that Lydia has to make. And I don't have any of those answers for you.
[She's gonna have to talk to the witches involved.]
Look, Rowena and I are going to figure out what's going on with Damian, and what he saw when he dealt with the body. We'll get as much information as we can. You focus on Lydia.
[is David's response when Allison Argent's name pops up on his caller ID. He had hoped that they might be able to get a little bit farther before Allison got pulled into this but he should have known better, given that this is her best friend.
He takes a breath, before stepping away from where Rusty and Ezra are going over what Rusty remembers about Kirsanov's compound to take the call.]
About one of my assets having to run for his life or railroading my best friend into helping your cause? I have a lot of questions that begin with 'are you dividing and conquering my team?' and end with is this the favor I owe you, and if so, what was the near death experience in the vampire jungle. I'm having trouble keeping track.
( Talk her down because this won't be pretty David. )
Okay, first of all, yes. We are even. Whatever I'm asking of Lydia has nothing to do with our arrangement. We are square.
[Now that that's out of the way:]
I am not trying to divide and conquer your team. I am sorry about how we had to approach Lydia, but we don't exactly have a lot of leeway on time. As for your asset ...
[He turns and gives a confused look at his husband.]
Why Lydia? If you want me to support this, I need to know everything, David. I need to know you're not sending my best friend into the fire without a plan. Without contingencies. And, if you don't have those answers yet, then call me when you do.
( She hangs up, done. Done for now, anyway. She knows he gave Lydia until the morning.
Ezra tries to feel out what just happened.
"So, that tenuous level of trust between us and Allison Argent...?")
We did. Isn't that her best friend from high school? I know we aren't sentimental about our school days, but Allison's beginnings are wrapped up in them. And Scott McCall and everyone else in Beacon Hills. She's taking it personally. ... We didn't think about her.
I did but I also thought that Lydia was a grown adult and Allison and I were even so Lydia could make her own choices. I didn't think that she would summon Allison like a shield.
[Though he should have. He would have done the same if someone went after Ezra.]
But now this is even more delicate than we originally anticipated. She also wants the plan, as well as contingencies.
Okay. We need to just focus on the plan. I will deal with Allison. She's not expecting a response until we have more information for her so let's at least get this part right.

They approached Lydia today. They want her to be bait to help get to one of the members of the Inner Circle.

Well.
Sigh.]
Are they going after Kirsanov?

We were even.

I don't like how many of us are being dragged into this.

Allison, I can explain.

Who's running for their life?
no subject
Oh. Right. The message. Shit. "Damian Jericho was marked after destroying the first body. I had never seen anything like it, I wasn't of much help." )
no subject
I didn't know about Damian until right now. After we get off the phone, I can have a look at what's happening with him after we're done.
[And he will. But he doesn't think that that's the major issue.]

She feels like we ran around her by going to Lydia directly.

I didn't think of her.

But now this is even more delicate than we originally anticipated. She also wants the plan, as well as contingencies.

( He knew it was coming - almost, anyway. )

[Though that's stating the obvious a bit.]
Okay. We need to just focus on the plan. I will deal with Allison. She's not expecting a response until we have more information for her so let's at least get this part right.

[They don't need Stiles until they need him.]
Jaqueline may be difficult but she understands the stakes. And Sierra will stand by Jaq.
