[Erica is a lurker. QUEEN of the lurking. Okay, technically, she saw Lydia and the puppy in the sweater and had a flashback to gym class before she arrived here and the comment about how Erica was "just freaking out" during her climb. Then she read things and then she got worried.]

You're not going to fire Isaac are you? Now that you have Lydia helping?

What? Of course not... I didn't hire Lydia to replace him. She asked me for a job and I needed the extra help so I thought I'd give her a chance.

Isaac said he wouldn't leave if I needed him but I can't stop him if he wants to go because of this whole... sweaterdog thing.

I can talk to him about the sweater thing.

[She assumes he's just being difficult. Because... he's a boy.]

I mean, I can't promise anything [Because ISAAC.], but I know he wants to move out of Hel. So he's going to need something. He says we're living with serial killers and that just sounds... [She frowns.] not good.

You will? Thanks. [ He smiles at her gratefully...

Until he hears they're living with serial killers. What the frick. ]

Does Derek know that?

[Erica shrugs.]

He knows we live in Hel. I think it's supposed to be common knowledge.

[ He seriously can't believe Derek knows his betas are living with dangerous people and hasn't moved them out yet. ]

You'll be out of there soon enough. [ Scott will make sure of it. ]

Just stay away from anyone suspicious-looking around there.

[This is... the wrong part of the conversation to focus on, Scott.]

I know... Isaac is saving money, which is why I wanted to make sure he wasn't going to lose his job. I am careful, too.

I'm not five, you know, Scott.

I know... sorry. [ He's just being an overprotective mom right now. ]

Like I said, he won't lose his job unless he quits. I can't force him to stay once he's paid me back.

[Wait a sec...]

Paid you back for what?

Uhhhh...

For...

Paying for...

His...

Lunch... es. I've been buying him lunch a lot.

[That... is a lot of unsure.]

That sounds like a lot of lunches. [In fact, that sounds sort of ridiculous.]

How much does he make that he has to work all those hours to pay for lunch?

[that's it. erica is packing him a lunch from now on.]

Well once he works for me for a month he would have paid me back.

...They were expensive lunches.

[Why would Isaac want expensive lunches and then ask Scott to pay for them if it meant he'd have to work with Lydia...

THIS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.

Later, it will occur to her that Isaac was in jail and that Scott rushed to go help him, but right now she's just fixated on the lunch issue and how fishy it sounds. And not in the "we order tilapia" way.]

You need to stop going to expensive places.

Uh... I totally would but, uh... Isaac's such a fussy eater, you know? [ Ha ha ha nervous laughter here. Is she buying this? Scott hopes she's buying this. ]

[Why.... is this even an excuse? Isaac wants to move out. Why would he agree to this if he's just working to pay Scott back for food?

Then the part about Isaac being a fussy eater actually upsets her, because she didn't know that.]

No, I guess I didn't know that.
