honey and sting

That is one of Vicki's great flaws. She's one of those people who thinks HER way will always be better and she's the ONLY one who can handle a situation. Whenever she has to back down and admit Mike or Henry would be better off doing something - you can practically see her teeth grinding.

And she feels it is better to put herself at risk than to put anyone else at risk (some of that may be the cop-side of her), perhaps because then she won't be there to feel bad if things go wrong. If she let Henry go, and he died... she would have to live with his loss. Whereas if she goes and dies... she obviously won't. So I would even go so far as to say she didn't do it to save him, so much as to keep from losing him (fine line, but hopefully you get what I mean *g*). It's selfish, but not uncommon.

So regardless of Henry's logic or feelings on a situation, she plows right through with her own 'save the day' plan.
