Yeah I just don’t buy they were going to be trapped there. I fully believe James would’ve gotten them the fuck out of dodge soon.
Agreed. I have absolutely no concerns about James’ ability to get them out of there or Thomas’ ability to talk him into making sure everyone else gets out as well. I’m so beyond angry at Silver that they’d have to, because Jesus fucking Christ what a thing to present to the woman he loves – the woman who is a child of former slaves – who views it as her duty to free slaves – as somehow ok and what a horrifying thing to do to someone he claimed was a friend. It’s sick, it’s wrong, and I want his guts for garters for it, but I’m quite certain that no matter which way you slice it, James and Thomas will be fine.
