[She watches the exhange silently, before stepping close to Saul, curling her fingers around his wrist in a silent gesture of that's enough.
Her attention stays on Sonya.]
You keep talking about what right people have like that means jack shit. It doesn't. We told Lisbeth the truth because she deserves to know, we told Roslyn because as the head of the police force, it's in everyone's best interest that she be aware of the situation. Neither of those are reasons to tell the general public. The people that turned on Jesse, that were calling for his blood because he screwed up, they have absolutely no right to know that he's dead.
[That includes Sonya, but unfortunately Lisbeth couldn't keep her fucking mouth shut.]
The other people who loved him, maybe they deserve to know, too, but we're not going to tell them just because you came in here and threatened to drag our names through the mud like you did to Jesse.
[Because that's what it'd be, at the end of the day, if Sonya goes public with this, she's going to be turning people against Steph and Saul.
She tightens her grip around Saul's wrist, not enough to hurt, just to make sure he doesn't argue with what's coming next.]
We'll tell them because it's the right thing to do, but we'll do it in our own time, and we sure as hell aren't doing it over the fucking network.
[Whether that's true or not, well. At least it'll buy them some time.]
