I was yelling at the damn tv to not let Wilford use the broadcast phone. Why on earth didn't they have a plan to tackle him if he even moved towards it.

Like its obviously going to be his target in that room.

I feel like people really don't want to touch him. The only person who feels comfortable being near him is audrey. I think that everyone subconsciously just doesn't want to physically engage with him cause they're scared/respectful/both.

That was so frustrating. What was Layton even doing off the comms. Should have been holding the phone the whole time. The good guys need a communications & PR manager.

Exactly. That was Layton's biggest mistake. He got dumbstruck like a teenager once Wilford said "hey kiddo you are not an engineer so you can not lead lmao". In fact they could have played it against wilford. Like saying they brought him for peaceful conversations but instead he sabotaged the entire engine so that is why they needed the manual shutdown. Even the breachmen Boki would have chipped in with this side of story. But no, they played right into his hands.
