Summary
This has major spoilers for "The Climb," and also, of course, for the rest of the show. Don't read if you want to stay unspoiled. I didn't buy one aspect of the show. My muse wanted to write about it. So here goes. (Edited to add: this is probably OBE now given the events of later episodes, but I still like this direction for Thea so I'll keep it up even if it's AU now.)
