   Deactivate to lock the now-opened gate into its current state? Or to prevent further infection of her own reality?

   Madness, and mad science, are easily confused until you see the outcome.

   I do see it as a ricochet (which is a bit surprising with a beam weapon, but… comic physics). However, it doesn’t seem to have hit a live part of the gate pattern… at least not on this bounce.

   The topsiders on the other side of the gate might want to duck, though.

   She had a chance to talk her way out of it. She chose to gloat. Maybe she thought, as I did, that Jacob was bluffing and the big mean gadget was something else, or maybe she thought Jacob would somehow be talked into agreeing with her… but she made her choice.

   It’s an ex-judicial execution, but given that this is a perpetual-emergency situation I’m not shocked. And unlike most of our executions, it actually has the potential to do some good (by allowing them to take out the rest of the ring cleanly and perhaps with less death).

   I can understand it, and in fact agree with it, without liking it. As the insectoid mutants would not say, it’s probably the lesser of two weevils.

   Exactly. We know (some of?) the wolves are being a problem, but we don’t know exactly what they are and aren’t guilty of, we don’t know what happened in the back of Heath’s shop, and we don’t know who else is either hunting or manipulating the situation. Life and Endtown are rarely straightforward.
