Headscratchers / Laura Caxton

• Deanna's vampiric toughness seems kind of inconsistent. She's strong enough that bullets bounce right off her skin, but she cuts herself up real bad by running into some shards of glass? Also, given the kind of strength vampires display, shouldn't she have just been able to just jump right out of that swimming pool?
  • It could be that the bullets Caxton fired had at least some effect that she just didn't see, considering the current darkness and her own battered condition, with Deanna being mainly affected by the sheer scale of the damage from running through that presumably thick window (keep in mind they were in an old sanitorium at the time; it's probably safe to assume the glass was thicker than standard).
• OK, Laura is willing to lie about Arkeley using entrapment on Justinia...but executing her anyways is out of the question?
  • Lying about entrapment can be more easily concealed than creating a scenario where they could plausibly justify killing Justinia, particularly given her current legal situation.
  • It could also be intended to reflect how Arkeley and Caxton aren't at the point where they consider Justinia dangerous enough to resort to any means necessary to kill her, but are still willing to adhere to the law and just offer their own recommendations that she be killed.
