When Thomas gives Sam that look she offers him a slight smile and a small shake of her head. She doesn't blame him for his more practical assessment. Truth is, there's a part of her that agrees with him.
There's a much larger part of her, however, that will stand and protect this woman.
"No one's suggesting we release her into the wild immediately," she says. "She should be kept safe, both for us and from us." Because, sadly, there are plenty angry at the tremendous loss of life on their side who might take that anger out on the broken, damaged, defenseless Spiral kin. "She's loyal to them, but there's no way to know now if she started off that way, or if she's been Stockholm'd into submission."
Sam looks from Thomas to Keisha to Erich to whomever, taking in the few or the gathered with a look. "She's dangerous." It's a statement, she's not arguing or disagreeing on that point. "But is she more dangerous than the Spiral cubs? She's been broken. What about Champion of Honor?"
She shrugs, and she repeats what she said to Hosea a little while ago. "Working with her is going to be hard and I don't know if it'll work. I don't know if she can be saved, either. It could be months, or years before we know for certain. But I have to try. I can't stand by and let her be killed just because she's covered in question marks and uncertainty."
