The kanima killed your father.

[ Scott sees the kanima as something separate from Jackson. It might not matter to Isaac that Jackson had no control of himself but it's an important detail to Scott. It's why he insisted on keeping Jackson alive, because he was innocent. Even if he was an asshole, he didn't want to murder people. ]

I know he's not a good person. I'm not defending him... I'm on your side.

[ He's just worried what Isaac might become from all this fighting. He doesn't like seeing the similarities between him and Derek. ]

Then you should act like it.

[It's sudden, a little hostile, and Isaac's voice is raising slightly. Scott's words don't sit well with him, and Isaac finds himself bristling at them. Jackson killed his father, Jackson told the police that Isaac had a reason to kill him, Jackson almost murdered them all multiple times- and sure, Isaac teamed up with Scott to save him, but that wasn't really for Jackson at all.]

Don't make excuses for him.

So I should just let you beat him up whenever you feel like it? Watch you become your dad? I can't do that, Isaac.

[Isaac's shoulders go tense almost immediately after Scott speaks. There's a line there, and Scott has crossed it, and done it in such a way that Isaac is stunned into a bitter silence for all of a few long moments. When he responds, his tone is deadpan, full of a barely-restrained emotion.]

Don't you ever compare me to him.

[And he hangs up.]

[ Scott doesn't know what to do with this conversation. He doesn't know why Isaac told him about making Jackson bleed in the first place. Was he expecting Scott to be happy about that? Surely Isaac knows him well enough by now to know he doesn't advocate violence.

But he knows he's gone too far with the comment about his dad and immediately wants to take it back. ]

Wait, Isaac, that's not what I--

[ But it's too late. He's gone. And Scott is left staring at his bracelet. ]

...Damn it.
