I don't think there's any "usually how it goes," with this.

[true, foggy probably would try to make a pop culture reference or five, but karen is trying to stick with actual things that actually happen in reality and none of this seems like it's got anything to do with that. she does take the time to consider what matt's saying as she leads them towards the stairs.]

She's already in control here, though. Why build an army? Who is she going to attack?
