Ilsa is definitely having Kara Lynn's glitchy blank-outs.

And here we come to the "Ilsa's Contract doesn't have the do-not-harm-humans clause" reveal.

It's a pretty late-stage Dramatic Reveal. On the one hand, it's worth having a few of those, to amp up the stakes in the final act. On the other, should this have been foreshadowed earlier? Jany gets "don't trust the Wolf" from Lightning early on, but nobody gives her "don't let the Wolf's claws near your face." Should it have come up in a more direct way? I don't know.

(...not that I'm changing this one now, mind you. Just wondering.)

Ilsa: WHAT?!?

New nurse: Aaahh! Um — Ms. Walker’s on the phone!

Ilsa: No, I wasn’t staking out Featherhead’s Master. That isn’t my job. What? You just get me on a plane.

Veteran nurse: You were taking your life into your hands, poking Ilsa like that.

New nurse: I don’t mind jump-scares. And it’s not like she can really hurt a human.

Veteran nurse: Uh . . . about that . . .
