Although I see it, too, that very likely someone's gonna put an end to
Scratch, I must toss in three opposing ideas:
1. Scratch's gonna end things. Her mission is simple: Kill
Pegs. If she does so, she's gonna move away, 'cause this story arc has ended.
2. Scratch will shoot everyone in the face who is not capable of a) running away or b) hiding well enough. The only two survivors I see right now are
Kelly and
Hope. But anyone else is not capable of defending him/herself or anyone else against Scratch and two brutes properly. And
Riley and
Burt will need some time to get into this place ... So this will end in a total massacre with Scratch getting away, because she is just that: a real survivor.
3. [WARNING! Opinion!] I am no fan of the revenge-concept. Revenge dictated so many actions in the whole WA story. And anytime it was used, things went southwards at the speed of light. So, it would like to see a story, in which humans stop shooting each other - no matter what has gone wrong in the past.
(After all we must not forget: the confrontation with Scratch has begun, 'cause
Lizzy,
Saul, and Burt interfered with the plans of
the Mallers; and during the first confrontation Burt fueled the hatred to a certain degree. Ok, granted: Scratch is a master in deceit and violence; but I wonder how things would have evolved if the Towerites and the Mallers met under different circumstances, which by the way is really hard to tell.)
Best wishes!
