Ah, I'm still rooting for Oz, and here's why. The Baskervilles justification of their actions seems pretty legit. IF they're telling us the whole truth. There might be something else to this story that Leo just doesn't feel like telling us. I mean, he's made it pretty obvious that he's gonna do whatever it takes to destroy Alyss. What's a couple half truths?

And here's what makes me think this: Echo's face while he's telling it all. She looks so forlorn and upset and just plain guilty. Now, being on the inside, Echo knows what's up. And she knows everything that's up right now. If anything, I think that she is our judge of the better decision (I don't want to say "just" or "right"). Even at the ceremony, when she knew that Vince wanted Break to die fighting Fang and Lily, she still tipped Gil off that Break was in danger, despite knowing that she was in for some serious punishment later on.

Neither does Vincent normally involve her in his dirty work, so I would say that she's enough of an outsider to judge their actions with a calm head, while also on the inside (because of Zwei) to know exactly what they're doing.

And when Leo tells Oz about his plans, Echo looks flat out guilty. She feels bad for not being able to stop him. She knows all the "good" that could come out of the plan, but she still doesn't like it... because there's more to the story than Leo told us.

So I'm sticking with whatever side Echo's on. Sorry for the long, long explanation. I think Echo just seriously leveled-up on my Favorite PH Girls list.

Echo/Zwei could end up being one of the only sane characters by the end. Which would be perfect, since she seemed so whacked at first, having a split personality and all. Her split personality might be just the thing that makes her "whole".
