3) Discover Saul (...that one would be kinda quick...Scratch does have that killer memory...no pun intended)
4) Find out why they are there (BIG STICKING POINT). Why would Saul admit why he showed up beyond saving Lizzy? That's kinda reason enough. Killing her or threatening to kill her wouldn't necessarily result in "Ok I was really here for some phone guts."
5) Go back to LA to find Glenn and Pete. Without CJ, Saul, and Victor's help: Impossible. They aren't in Dunbar. They are in a safe house. If the Mallers couldn't find a big fuck all apartment building full of people, what are the odds they find Glenn and Pete unassisted.
6) Get Glenn back to fix the phone
7) Dial 10-10-220 and place a collect call to Michael and laugh when he has to accept the charges.

All within 48 hours. Potentially 36.

Or.

They have the phone. Tardust fixes it. They call Michael.

Both can happen, but I see that the path of least resistance is option 2.

Or free Burt in the fray upon Lizzy's demand, because in her timeline she was just notified of Burt's existence. Burt kills Scratch, and the colony bands together to end the leaderless maller overrun...CJ/Saul/Victor/Lizzy/Burt then go back to the safehouse and make the call. Or if the phone IS with them, inform glenn/pete to make the trip to the colony and radio in a evac of the colony

or as some people has proposed, if Irwin is overrun, flee to Colony. I think that is far less likely, but still in the realm of reality.

Either way, I think you're stacking the deck by listing those only two outs. I think the 'shown gun' theory everyone keeps mentioning applies to more than just the nukes. Lizzy was told of Burt, the colony is in pure chaos, and she's pregnant and emotional GET BURT!!!! will ring through the colony and Victor/CJ/Saul will rescue him as things die down in the gunfight. as they do, both sides numbers are reduced and we have an epic standoff of Burt/Scratch.
