“Bullshit,” Alec retorted.
“What?” Brian turned toward Alec.
“I said bullshit,” Alec repeated himself. “Taylor said it herself, she sucks ass when it comes to lying and being smooth.”
And yeah, if she was as fantastic an actor as Brian would have it, and was lying now, she would’ve had a better lie earlier, or she would be pretending to be a bad liar by telling a lie that did a worse job at convincing them than what she could really come up with… which sounds quite convoluted.
“She lied well enough when she was keeping her undercover act a secret.”
“I didn’t lie, exactly,” I said, quiet, “I just didn’t tell you.”
Yeah, surprisingly enough there were pretty few situations that caused her to have to actually lie.
The Undersiders kinda dropped the ball on trusting her that much in the first place, although it’s unclear how much Lisa manipulated the others into doing so. It’s worth noting that it was Brian’s idea to show up in civilian clothing on the rooftop in 2.6, as a “token show of trust”.
