Actually no...

My position is on shaky ground. Right now one of two things could happen..

A. I manage to wiggle my way away from Meowth's accusation and onto the saftey of what Clafairy said. This grounds my position and makes everyone have a lot of faith in me... exactly what we need.

B. I don't they kill me oh well... at least I had a shot because...

If we kill Meowth everyone will know I was responible for it. He must live.
