Jones stops the stranger before she can beat Mac into torpor. He claws at her, she returns the favour. It's all a question of who falls first.
Until Jessica arrives and hits her with her car.
...
They manage to rouse her from torpor with plenty of pig blood, pelvis still broken and chained up in the boiler room of a boarded-up apartment building.
She gives them a name, Elise, and not much else.
"What do you plan to do with me? Trade me to my brood? In exchange for what?"
"Call off the assault," David says.
"Feh. This city is ours by right. If you really want peace, you'll stand aside and let us bring Barrett and his circle down."
"And kill anyone who gets in your way?"
"You are children."
Mia leads David away.
"What do we do with her? Will any of them be more reasonable?"
"I kinda doubt it. But we have to try."
...
They let Elise heal and she makes a call, and they leave her in the trunk of a car in a lot for her brood to retrieve her.
And as they head away, they see Barrett's people coming.
