What Vane Knows

Vane receives the report, but he has known about Liam since ep 6. In his mind, Liam's network represents genuine weaver liberation energy that neither faction channels, which has potential to be something positive for the whole weaving community. Moving against him would either destroy it or drive that energy somewhere worse. For now, better to watch. But when Nico asks if the Liam situation should be revisited, Vane replies; "It already has." Through Iris, Juno learns of Vane’s actions. Still in 2 minds, seeing this forces her to ask herself; "What if I save people by creating a worse world?" Her answer convinces her to change her mind to Vane. When Mordred receives the news, he does so with his usual composure. Alone afterward, he sits at a desk and doesn't move for a long time. Shortly after, Elias and Iris meet covertly again - longer this time, less careful. When they part, Iris looks over her shoulder once, and sees only Elias, who is looking back. She smiles and keeps walking.
