![]() Erica deciding to let Hobbes torture him (and Jack not supporting it, but not stopping it either) obviously showed this group is deciding to go to extreme measures at this point. Hell, she didn't even bring it up with their human prisoner, when he asked the same question! What is her issue in articulating the actual evil things she's seen the Vs do? That prisoner though led to some better and more interesting moments through the episode, including a bit of a moral crossroads, once it became clear he was lying about who he was and what he knew. When he asked her to name one thing they'd done since they arrived, I nearly shouted out, "Killed a warehouse full of people!" But of course Erica didn't say that.
