Ra1th, you and I agree on just about everything so far, but I think you're jumping the gun on the Maller/Tower team up. Michael, Pegs and Kelly are well out of contact range with the Tower right now. If Burt suspects them to be dead, he's not going to send a scout party looking for them (I'm combining your thoughts from the 18-3 reaction thread as well), he's just going to let them go as a loss. It's more likely that the three of them (plus Hope and possibly Tanya) escape the Colony somehow and make it back to L.A.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that somewhere down the line a Tower/Maller alliance could happen. Angel returning Latch lays the ground work for it. But there's still Pegs/Scratch that has to be dealt with, as well as Who's the Rat before any alliance can be forged. Imagine the Tower going to the Mallers and saying "Hey we need to rescue our friends....one of which killed John" Scratch would probably go against the old adage and shoot the messenger.
