I still wonder about the actual possibility of this plan working, but I'm fine with never finding out if she can tell her dad to jump off the boat and go do what she wants in life instead.
You mean… we can buy it?
I think getting official documentation for possession of the anchor is possibly the only thing that Pryce would prefer more than simply stealing it. It would mean that no one else would be able to steal it back.
No one else would be able to steal it back legally, you mean.
No, with proper documentation, even if they steal it it still belongs to the person who holds the deed. Things are FAR more valuable when you've got documents saying they are yours.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap!

This discussion made me realise that in the modern Widdershins AU, Pemberton would be all about NFTs.
Ugh.
If so, I'd love to sell the Pape Pryce
the ownership documents for a bridge in Brooklyn.
But I WANT to steal the Anchor.
What if this is sort of like Lei's first appearance - and stealing the anchor was actually Thea's idea?
It would make a good mirror situation.
Lei as she started out Vs Lei as she is now.
I'm hoping that Petal will begin the Advanced Ranting on the next page, hopefully including her plans to Rule the World.
Ha! Came in to make the same comment, missed it by forty minutes.
Really hoping for this answer
right? like that was what i thought was going on, that they misunderstood that she isnt being manipulated, but rather she is manipulating her dad.
Just push her in!
This looks to be the point at which we find out how much Thea is actually on board with her dad's plan!
What better way to escape your dad than jumping to the other side of that portal ? :D
Wizards cant enter the anchor, so if she isn't the witch pushing her in would be the same as pushing her into a solid wall.
Everyone seems to be assuming that Thea actually wants to steal the anchor for herself...and I'm not saying they're wrong, exactly, but I really can't suss out her motivations here! We know why Pryce wants it, but Thea's desires are clearly a bit more...complicated than her father's.
She said she felt like he was pushing her towards being a wizard when she really just wants be an artist...but she ALSO said something about "feeling guilty about not feeling guilty enough" and resolved to "do the greatest amount of good." Has she really bought into her father's ridiculous argument of "it'll make things better for America, so it's good regardless of the consequences for other countries"? She doesn't exactly seem like the nationalistic type...hm. Could she possibly have some kind of ARTISTIC motivation for stealing the Anchor? How?!?
You've got to remember that Sparks - I mean wizards - always have trouble understanding questions that begin 'why'.
Pryce never said he was doing this for the good of America, he said that applying American Ingenuity (TM) to the anchor would do a lot of good for millions of people--likely with him first in line. He's a gangster capitalist, not a patriot.
This was the era when "yankee ingenuity" became a thing and a phrase.
I'm pretty sure that regardless of her dad's motivations, she finds herself being drawn to it for some reason~ That reason being She's the Witch of this Anchor.
Yup, wondering if the next line will be like Mal's "but... I think that it's mine!"
Then again, maybe not, this particular storyline could go anywhere!!!
But I felt it was implied that the Fourth Witch had helped Jack and Harry, in addition to the other two witches doing so.
Yeah, but we have already seen that time is wonky past the doors, like with the phone being able to connect to messages in the future.
"But I'm actually evil and totally in on the plan!"
