Chapter 37-2- Balance of Power

True. I'd put my money on Saul showing it to her. Mike seems to be a little protective of her.

dont forget about Burt or Lizzie, hell even Victor might.

I noticed that he said "nearly broken off," not just "broken."

Pretty much implies a fight for his life, huh?

Victor was working hard to keep the tape out of anyone's hands up to that point. Even when he was fighting with Mike. Burt? I don't know, I don't think he'd have a reason to hurt Riley that way. I couldn't see Lizzie doing it. It's definitely something Angel would do. Wait. Awww man.

Don't forget that Gatekeeper lied to them. In their minds Michael killed Marcus and left them weak to a Maller take over. All the things that have gone wrong since August could easily be pinned on Michael.

This is an excellent point. It's not what Michael did--his group couldn't possibly have carried away enough weaponry to have decisively weaken the Colony, and we already know that the Tower was hearing radio broadcasts from the Colony, so the Mallers, who were actively monitoring radio frequencies, probably already had a good idea of where they were. But that's not what the Mallers and Gatekeeper have told the Colonists, and those folks have had nothing else to base their opinions on.

The man has a wedding to think about. Give him a break! Straight up though, I've been wondering too.

Kinda getting a Between a Rock and a Hard Place/127 Hours vibe. Certainly one of the older elephant in the room plot points.

Yeah. I never bought into that one.

Secrets like that have a way of surfacing. (Believe me, I am dealing with some personal crap myself. things might have been different if I had known early on in my life.) it would better she found out early on than wait until later. No matter how good they think that are doing it would end up hurting Riley worst later.
she wouldn't be able to trust them, cause they didn't trust her. In the end it would be up to Riley whether or not she did anything. not them.

It's kind of inevitable that she's going to find out. But, I'd be of the mind that no matter when, or how she finds out, she's going to blame them for holding the information back from her, she's going to get ragey, and she's going to either sink to the bottom of a bottle, or she's going to engage in a balls-out vendetta. I'd actually like to see her slip into the bottle, and "watch" her character deal with that as opposed to mirroring Scratch's own revenge quest.

But he's there now, and he can set things straight. Victor knows what happened and it didn't take much to convince Pete and Glenn ("I'm not surprised." "Told ya!" and it's done. They knew Bixby and Gatekeeper). Plus, in any case, everyone must agree that they were about to kill Michael, and there is no way they can make a serious objection on that: they tried to kill him, he reacted accordingly. If they had been a strong united group in the first place, 100+ armed people could have repelled the Mallers easily. I understand your (and their's) point, but it is something coming from their guts with no logic in it. I know there will be a discussion on it and Michael will get the blame, I just think it will be one side talking reason and the other one talking BS like "if we did not call you you'd be dead in Irwin". Yeah, the colony is the only place they could land at, nowhere else has enough space in California. Right.
If I were Michael I'd just say goodbye and hunker down in Dunbar, let those assholes keep growing tomatoes in their little pen.
