Beware unmarked SPOILERS
- The Camarilla agents who have just killed Charvel are hiding in the room when Abigail walks in.
You'd Expect: For them to wait for her to leave due to the risk of attacking her and leave when the balloons provide a distraction, which was presumably the plan in the first place.
Instead: They attack and try to kill her in a gruesome and slow manner.
Result: Petra finds Abigail and the two beat the shit out of the assassins, forcing them to kill themselves to avoid capture. - Alder and her generals find out that the Spree have two trucks full of bombs and the only ones close enough to stop them are the witches at Citydrop.
You'd Expect: For them to send the fully trained soldiers that are already there.
Instead: They send the cadets (who are on their final training mission) to stop them.
Result: They are successful, but it results in the deaths of Libba Swythe and a truck full of hostages. - The President plans to retire Alder due to Scylla being kept prisoner without her knowledge.
You'd Expect: For her to rethink this decision since Alder has been in charge of the military for 300 years and is the only leader the American witches have ever had. On top of that, they are in the middle of a war with terrorists.
Instead: She makes the decision in a single day, not worried about how this could affect the military and America at large.
Result: Alder, who is in danger of losing the very thing that defines her, "puppets" her into giving her unlimited power. - The Camarilla are waiting for the strike team to leave the cave with the Tarim, so they can kill them all, especially General Alder.
You'd Expect: That they disable the helicopters to prevent them from escaping.
Instead: They leave them completely intact.
Result: The witches have a way to escape and they do.
Even Worse: When the team is on one of the helicopters, a flying explosive destroys the one next to it. This means they had the power to destroy the helicopters, yet didn't use it until they were practically flying away.
