S... Sympathy for Trout... Fading.... Lady's been through it, and she's very not-okay right now, but this is just... too unforgivable even with all that in mind.

Tori Sol

Agreed. She's not okay and acting out of fear, but she's become a danger to her fellow cats, regardless of the reason. She was already willing to pin the blame for the assassination attempt on the Daisies, and would have had Wahoo killed if Sturgeon hadn't intervened. Now, she's willing to sacrifice her brother's mate for her own safety. It's a slippery slope from here...

And that's the ugly truth of it. When push comes to shove, Trout will go as far as sacrificing her brother's partner to save her own skin. Just like she was willing to throw the Daisys under the bus for her attempted assassination instead of coming clean about it being Krill. In some ways, she's a worse leader than Thresher as she's willing to easily bend to pressure. Granted, she's in a tough spot, but to go back on her word after promising Sturgeon, Hake, and Tusk one thing then saying another is pretty bad. After this, her siblings will never see her the same again. I feel like there's going to be a fissure among the characters who feel like Trout did the right thing by banishing Tusk from the island to those who know the truth about Ray and feel otherwise. It will also confirm the suspicion of the Daisys who refused to join the Family. As Bluegill said "Nothing good ever comes from Crab Cats." I'm having a difficult time seeing the flaws in her logic.

Agreed! In a way, and what I feel people overlook, is that Sturgeons interference may also amplify more drastic decisions. Dgmw! So far, almost all of Sturgeons decisions were justified and prevented losses. Yet, as an established ruler, Trout will suffer from always stepping back to heed Sturgeons call, and other cats are aware if this, also. It'll add to her insecurities and will make it more likely for her to go through with her own strategies in a more underhanded manner, as we do see it happening rn.

Yep! While Sturgeon is Trout's advisor, at some point Trout is going to need to grow a backbone when it comes to these decisions. Sturgeon is the cooler head, but she's not the queen and can only do so much to guide her sister.

Obsessed with the panels focused on Trout's closed eye due to the scar... An eye she could open and see the truth of it but trauma keeps it closed. How very accurate to this situation. She could be brave and face it head on, but she's too traumatized and *afraid* to do it... But by doing this, she's making a choice itself. And it's the same selfish choice that had her let the Daisys believe it was one of them and not Krill who tried to kill her, or the choice to give Wahoo to the Tide if not for Sturgeon. She always had it in her, and Sturgeon was a fool to not actually pay attention to it. I really am curious as to how the Tide "chose" Trout...

Looking back at this page has me realizing something: After this is over, who is going to remember the fact that Sturgeon was actively shaking and yelling at the queen after she gave this verdict? Hake will definitely remember, which will likely lead him to the conclusion that Trout lied to Sturgeon about what would happen, because remember: he still believes in the Tide. He's going to believe that the Tide ordered this, but he'll also know that Sturgeon was not aware. As for the others, I wonder if this will lead to Sturgeon being driven more away from Trout's side. Trout will likely lose Hake over this, but what if the rest of the Family starts to put more pressure on Trout to get rid of more of the "bad influences" around her? After all, Sturgeon is already in hot water with Gull for choosing Tansy as her Lionheart. This will pretty much out her as a "Daisy-sympathizer." I can see Trout becoming more and more isolated from the cats who genuinely love her as she transforms into the leader the Family wants.

This is so heartbreaking to watch. I really hope something happens so Tusk will live, but I am starting to doubt it.
