Even though she’s right, I hope she listens to Lucius; the boys need need her help, he needs her help if they are to stop Frost; I just trust Margo will do the right choice.

She’s still not invested. She needs something to push her off the fence one side or the other. Either the belief that Biff and Rufus are gone, or proof that Rafer has also taken something precious from her.
I wonder if Takers like eating snake…

The question might be "What was taken from Margo that she no longer remembers?.

C,mon, Margo, man up (so to speak)! —Or would you rather just feel sorry for yourself and stay shivering in the woods until the next big bad beast comes along and ends your nightmare?

Methinks Margo would get bored very quickly, sitting at home, even with a giant snake and various other ectotherms for company.
Then again, what’s that curse…“May you live in interesting times.”?

@ShortStraw
That’s a great question—Was Margo taken from? Maybe this really IS her fight, but she doesn’t know it (yet)…

What if Stretch Armless was also Rafer Frost?

IF you don’t go, Margo, you’ll always wonder . . .

She remembers Twyla, Biff and Rufus (although she may be regretting that). The question is if “the special ones that remember” remember everything, or just specific people that Rafer took. Maybe the reason she remembers now is that Rafer’s powers don’t work twice on the same person.

Maybe an encounter with Trullus and news of the boys?

“Maybe the reason she remembers now is that Rafer’s powers don’t work twice on the same person.”
You mean like Rufus’ parents forgetting Twyla and Rufus?
I’m going to agree that Margo might have gotten taken from but doesn’t know it. I think she remembers Twyla, Biff and Rufus because Frost messed up; remember, he was interrupted when he was “taking” Biff and Rufus. Maybe she remembers Twyla because Twyla was such a minor minor minor part of her life. I coach softball. If Frost took the little sister of one of my players, I wouldn’t notice. If my player came to me and asked if I remembered her sister, I’d say “yes”.

Margo, you are at a pivotal point. If you sit there and do nothing, the Takers win. You don’t want that, you’ve gone too far. See this through, you can do it.
