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.

But I don't think he intends to stab us in the back unless we give him reason to.

I think Lydia will say yes.

Stiles is going to be moved off the table.
( He picks up his own phone, sending a rapid-fire text to Jaqueline
You need to make contact. Harvey connected the dots. )

Mhm.

I think we're as far as we're going to get for now. Let's get some rest and come back to this in the morning.

( He unleashed Jaqueline. But, it needed to happen. Stiles can't be off the board. It is Lydia's choice.
Until it's not. )

[And with that they will head to bed and let the chaos of the current situation unfold without them.]
