Chapter 23 Pt 3 - The Devil's Workshop

I get that, but why is it taken as read that Saul will dangle Pegs in front of Scratch?

What else could Saul dangle in front of Scratch to get Lizzie back?

Because who else would the mallers want? Unless Saul knows who the rat or shooter is, I can't think of who else he might offer.

And even then, why would the Mallers want the rat back? They do them no good if not subverting the tower

Burger and fries?

Seriously though, is Scratch now the unofficial leader of the mallers? If not, why would Durai want to swap Lizzy for Pegs just for the gratification of Scratch? Haven't they got better things to do?

Scratch tried to burn the tower down despite Durai's wishes. She's the Mallers version of Saul, a loose cannon except she's a little more psychotic than Saul.

Well the Mallers are split into two parties right now with Scratch leading the assault on the Arena while Durai does whatever it is he's doing "down south." Scratch's interest in Lizzie seems to be her own side project.

We don't know where Scratch is at the moment. Do you really think she picked up the radio when moving and Saul happened to pick the right channel. I'm not so sure.

Amazing episode. You gus have already discussed a lot of what I have been thinking.
One extra note:
If you listen closely it sounds like the Man in the Pin Strip/Ink (still no firm confirmation on them all being the same 'person', but this seems a bit closer if we combine the chapter art and Kalani saying he is the same one that is at the arena) suit laughs as Riley is lining up her shot at about 5:16. It seems as if he knows that an arrow is not much of a challenge to him. Creepy!

HOW TO BUILD A BETTER ZOMBIE 1,2,3,4,5:
I do like this aspect of the story. Its very Stephen King to have a single evil presence that presents itself throughout the story that EVERYONE knows about in some way or another. The unstoppable Arrow catching INK character is building his army of Special Infected(L4D?) to do battle at a later date.

GET TO DA GENERATOR!:
Who would have thought the hospital had an unused tertiary backup generator tank, fueled and ready to be siphoned over to the main generator!? Dare I say Nobody? The Elevators were mentioned earlier in the chapter but I thought it was to let the listeners know they couldn't be opened or ascended (silly us!). Those that thought Burts WalkieTalkie project would come into play as an Explosive Decoy this episode (I sure did not) BRAVO!

TO SACRIFICE OR BLUFF?:
Saul is in love and will do anything to see Lizzy again I get that. Offering up Pegs to see Lizzy is a line he will not cross. It has to be a bluff but we know the last poker game Saul played didn't turn out in his favor.

First things first, prop's to Kc and the whole crew for a great episode. I usually listen on the way to work but I had to listen to this as soon as I got in today. I was fully ready to come here and give massive prop's to all the board members who were predicting Burt's final heroic fling as they were getting onto the helicopter. I'm also not sure if its because I usually listen on headphones but this episode felt like the musical score was used to an even greater effect than usual.

On the question of who, if anyone, Saul would give up for Lizzie. He could probably fairly easily snatch Peg's from the airfield (and a face off between him and Victor potentially crippling the helicopter beyond repair in the process would be pretty epic) but he has to know that would be the end of his time with anyone associated with the tower and I feel that would include Lizzie.

When he switches to the new channel he does check if "nest" or "vulture" are listening before trying to contact Durai (although for the first radio contact he kicks off with "hey") which struck me as significant but I don't know why. On a tangent from that Kelly goes to the trouble of using Saul's codename but then gives out his location in plain speech?

Ok, I had a thought about something that happened during the episode and on a hunch googled it. Would it be bad form to share that information? It's possible I stumbled on a little of Kc's inspiration..
