What we've been shown of her personality is that she would try to do shyt on her own and die in the process. She wouldnt turn herself in because she's trying to protect her grandfather. Im guessing thats what he believes at least. Telling her what happened could also involve her and get her killed. They want Looking Glass for some reason. Thats the only reason why they didnt kill him. They dont want Sister Night. Not saying he made the right decision. I just think he did what he thought would protect here from 7K/Senator. They said get her locked up or we will kill her and her family.

"HEY ANGELA I FOUND OUT
WHAT THE 7TH CALVARY IS PLANNING
AND THEYRE COMING FOR YOU

WOULD HAVE BEEN A PRETTY SIMPLE
CONVERSATION...

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY JUST
WANTED HIM TO GET HER OUT
OF THE WAY
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE GOING
TO KILL HIM AT THE END OF THE EPISODE.

I just remember her speaking in Vietnamese to Lady Trieu and speaking badly about him.
She did speak badly about him, but maybe not from hatred for Will. Either:
1. She let Lady Trieu lead the conversation to learn more about Will.
2. She's a 40+ year old woman who just now met the grandfather that she never knew. There's probably some resentment & confusion (but not necessarily hatred) towards Will.

I didnt say it wasnt a simple conversation to have. It would be as easy as you said it was. But telling her also meant her going rogue, doing her solo thing she's been doing and getting killed. Thats why he didnt. The goal was to keep her out the way and safe. A plot device for sure. And yeah, it looks like they want us to think they are gonna kill him but that wouldnt make sense. The Senator wants him for something. That was just for us as viewers to be :lupe: about going into next week.

Exactly what I thought. He did what they needed him to do. Now, he's a loose end that needs to be snipped. He would've been better served to just let Angela know and bail.

Both of to groups in this "arms race" (Trieu vs the Senator) also appear to be conspiracies planning some kind of interdimentional event in the near future. I guess the conflict between these two groups will stand in for the Cold War in the original story. With Sister Night, Looking Glass, and Silk Specter caught in the middle.

I'm still not 100% clear on the Senator's motivation. I agree that Lady Trieu is trying to replicate Dr Manhattan's powers, but the 7K faction seems to be trying to replicate the ability to attack via portals, which was Ozymandias' plan not Dr. Manhattan.

It could be the goal is just for the Senator to take over the US under permanent martial law, but that seem simplistic.


Keene might just want to get the presidency like Redford. The 7K having one of their guys as president vs Veidt and his liberal Redford.

Maybe the portals are meant to drop Nostalgia bombs around the world so nobody forgets and peace comes globally under Keene.

What takes the place of a squid?
