If Wally is Endtown’s only hope, the colony is in serious trouble. Endtown has allowed itself to get caught up in Jacob’s machinations and has a leader who will turn on its human appearing population when it becomes apparent he has promised things he can’t deliver. Endtown needs a REAL leader who can get people to understand the true nature of their situation and can convince them to do the things that need to be done. I could see Walt (with Dottie’s help) becoming that person. I could see Philo and his paper becoming a strong voice. I could actually see Holly becoming that person (provided that people still trust her) but Wally? Wally is a decent guy who can be very resourceful and can be good in a fight but he has yet to convince me that he is a leader. I suspect that he never accepted Endtown as his home. He is willing to stay there to be with Holly (and will return there if Holly asks him to) but he has always acted as an outsider there. Heck, professor Mallard would be a better leader than Wally.
