You sure about that? Maybe a search will turn up a few threads that would challenge your notion.

Tsk, Tsk. Every-time I look it's Witch Doctor cause all the trouble! Either eating Saul's Chickens or raising the dead. You should go back to steal artifacts for Carmen Santiago on PBS with Patty Larceny and Vic the Slick. Ah, how I miss the Chief and Rockapella. Sigh...

the question to ask is why WOULD scratch need/want any of the mallers over burt? none of them can benefit her end goal at this point, which is find pegs. i'd bet decent money on by the time this season ends (or the next begins..gotta have some wiggle room) the "mallers" will consist of scratch and tardust....thats it. she gives no damns about the rest of them.

LA and beyond is infested with zombies. Scratch isn't subtle but isn't stupid either, she would know she needs people to do whatever.
I think she does give a damn about them, because she is been living off slavery so far and you need people to be slaves and people to be slavedrivers, and people to keep an operation running.

Besides, there is still the question why would she rush to guard a locked door while all hell is happening around? There is no point in waiting by a locked door, waiting for someone to come, if in the meantime all your allies are killed off. Then you are alone, and unless you IDKFA your way out of it, you're sooner or later going to run out of ammo. The door is locked, what is inside is inside and you can come to it later when you know there is nobody outside who can harm you.

The only scenario I can think of is that she saw and recognized Saul and therefore assumed that by fortuitous coincidence the rescue mission from the Tower happened exactly as the civil war between the Mallers was taking place, so she rushed to Burt because she knew that is were they would go too.
Still, CJ's entering alone doesn't make sense to me. Well, I guess we'll see.

One thing we are starting to see emerge in this We're Alive world is that power is not only held in guns and ammo or fortified positions. There is power in information. Burt has info about a place that seems much more promising than this colony in which all hell is breaking loose, an outside faction just invaded, and who knows what is going to happen to the fortifications of this colony.

There's a good chance that Scratch was going down to Burt as everything went down because as the dust settles, whoever is left is going to be looking to someone to have a plan. If she can find a place to focus everyone's attention, i.e. a place where there are sure to be food and ammo (and at the same time the people whom she wants to pay a revenge visit to), she can show that her access to information is powerful enough that she is invaluable, regardless of one's feelings about her.

Durai was the man with the plan in their world. With him gone, information is more valuable than ever.

Why would Scratch run to Burt's holding room? I think Scratch's motives are pretty clear and singular since the war; that is, to avenge her brother's death. So, here are the dots..... (Ha, like how I did that?)

• Brigs (Betrayal)
• Lizzie
• Burt
• Location of the hidden Rebel Base and the stolen Death Star data tapes. Uh, I mean where the Towerites went and Pegs.

Connect them at will.

It's Bricks. A nickname given to him because, back in the day, no one could get past him. He used to be quite brutal.

Tar Heel Fan: Is Scratch really as smart or as farsighted?
Witch_Doctor: Yeah, sure. The dots are connected easily. But what does this say about Scratch considering the events around her - Mallers and Family falling apart, Colony in Rebellion-mode, probably an attack from the outside, and still: she gets to where Burt is locked away? The explanation provided by clem131 makes sense; probably we'll never receive confirmation or disconfirmation ...
