Paige killing someone

[lovingboth]

Henry's talking a bit too much at the moment, not that they know that yet. Some people would find it much easier to kill a sibling than a random stranger :)

There's a terrifying thought - Paige "silencing" Henry :O

He's still talking a hell of a lot less than Paige ever did--and Paige is still the one who recently put on a martial arts display in a bar.

I don't think Holly Taylor could ever convincingly do a scene where she killed anybody, personally. Plus they just reiterated in this ep that Elizabeth's still trying to portray their job as the good guys. Elizabeth even tried to save that poor man in the park who shot himself in the face. Why would she be telling Paige to put out a hit on anybody?

I don't think that Paige would kill Henry.
