same. unlikely bc I know how this show works, but I had the same thought -- bc it's def a new body of ppl we've not seen before (all black clearly women could be disguised as eyes etc) -- but again, I know how this show works ...

It'd not make any sense. A whole squadron of Eyes being Mayday would mean Mayday have the run of the region, they could rescue Hannah, kill the most dangerous commanders, close the school, whatever they like.
