It dawns on Michael just then (with yet another "Let me get this straight" kind of transition) that "if the baby doesn't need you to survive, we can kill you." Isabel bargains Michael down to turning her in, as that will satiate the Air Force's appetite for an alien. Kyle senses that this is just the Plan B that they've been looking for. But Max doesn't like it. "They'd throw her in a white room and study her like a lab rat for the rest of her life. I've been there. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy." Isabel reasons that this is not a decision Max can make alone, and Maria suggests that, since Tess was responsible for Alex's (who?) death, they all get to vote. And the stakes are pretty high: turn her in or…not! What happened to death? Wasn't that just being discussed as a viable option? And so they turn to their Model Congress form of dramatic climax, each one of them casting his or her "cake or death" vote. Um, cake, please. Well, we're out of cake! And so they put it to a vote. Maria wants to turn her in. Porno no. Isabel yes. Max no. Michael yes. Jesse doesn't even have an opinion. Kyle no. Liz casts her vote to break the tie: she votes no. With no explanation. I thought it was a mindwarp. I wish it were three years ago so she could be voted off the island and have that be topical.
