** Strand says that Troy wouldn’t attack the island if he learned Tracy was being held hostage there. Dwight counters that it would just as easily give him more incentive to attack to save his daughter, backed up by June who insists Troy’s PapaWolf traits will override any pragmatism Strand is hoping for.
