Quick because I'm still bleary-eyed from being on a plane all day, but this:
Tess thinks Davis is the Judas.
Was kind of problematic for me from Tess because the whole point of someone "being a Judas" is that the person had a position of trust in the first place. Judas' betrayal of Christ was so devastating to him -- and to readers of the Bible -- precisely because Judas was not only a believer, but a friend. He was an Apostle. He was in the inner circle.
Davis isn't Clark's friend. He doesn't hold a position of trust. Neither does Tess, for that matter (no matter how much she might want it, trust is bestowed as much as it's earned, and Clark's not bestowing his on her or Davis). No, if there's anyone on SV who actually potentially fits the "Judas" trope, it's Chloe -- making a tactically devastating decision for reasons she thinks are for the greater good that ultimately gets the ultimate savior (depending on one's religious leanings) killed.
