“Let me know when she’s not in your range anymore,” Tattletale said to me. “I’ll try to use my power to make sure she isn’t following us.”

Why exactly did Bonesaw say this? All she really accomplishes is giving Taylor another way to tell that she doesn’t have access to Lisa’s power as much as she claims. Even if Taylor hadn’t been suspicious, she might’ve taken note of it if Battery caught up with her range and “Lisa” didn’t say anything.

Also, considering Bonesaw attacked Battery with her spiders (seemingly remote controlled somehow, probably through some implant in Bonesaw’s brain – eerily similar to an unnatural mirror of Taylor’s power), what she said here was actually true.

“That might be the most disturbing part of this entire scene. The way he just flipped a switch back to fake normality.

I say fake because real normal Brian would apologize.”

And not because that isn’t Brian, real normal, fake normal or otherwise.

Also, I suppose Jack snaps back to “normal” because he’s getting back into character.

“This is probably a chapter certain Brian haters point to, while ignoring or downplaying just how much his mind is compromised right now.”

Somehow I suspect the fact that Brian doesn’t even appear in the chapter and is completely blameless in this debacle doesn’t help dissuade this quite as much as it should.

Pastwell, as Skitter: “We’re sympathetic protagonists, we can’t just kill anyone who annoys us!”

Jack, as Grue: “Yes, we, uh, certainly are. How do you do, fellow sympathetic protagonists?”

“Lisa” referred to some of the Undersiders’ anti-Nine activities as “harassment”. It was just so mean of them!

“Brian” drew a knife.

Hundreds of feet away from the target.
