Lennie Briscoe - Fifth Juror

[Grouch Cop]

Mm, it's funny though, I feel much more betrayed by being sent home than I would have been by it being Lucifer going. Because the way Hercule and I were talking about everything that round, I always had the awareness that he would do what was in his best interest and that may not line up with where I was voting, so him sending someone else home wouldn't be all scorched earth for me. And considering the kind of close I thought he and I were, sending me out and it being his reasoning rather than Judy or any of the rest of you, that's a much bigger betrayal than he thinks. But thank you for the confirmation of my theory. I kinda wanted to be wrong, but here we are.

Yeah, but a betrayed juror can be won over at FTC and might respect the move, a betrayed living player holds a grudge. We figured you were more likely to hold a player-grudge.

Besides, Lucifer was a known quantity. I can't speak for the others, but I didn't know where you were going to land in most votes.

As for Poirot, he was simply at a point where he had to choose allies. Things were about to break one way or the other, and he chose the alliances which looked more stable.

I think I should have expressed this better. Of course voting you out is the greater betrayal, I wasn’t suggesting otherwise. What I’m saying is that if we voted you out, Lucifer feels less burned as the person staying in than you would if Lucifer had gone.

I really don’t know what if any discussions Poirot and Judy had privately, so she may have had more input on it; I assume they discussed it at least some, I just don’t recall Judy talking as much in the group chat about it.

[Jake Peralta]

That was the perception, at least.
