Chelsea can certainly make people very predictable. If one has a mate, then all they’re going to care about after being Chelsea’d is their safety, and they’re most probably not going to trust anyone else with protecting them until they’ve rebuilt their relationships. If one doesn’t have a mate, then he or she is going to care about his or her safety and no one else’s, and it will probably take them a while to find allies they’re able to trust with their life. If you don’t trust anyone, it will be very hard to make a sensible plan and stick to it.
This makes me wonder if Edward won’t just run away from the battle, if he hasn’t somehow been incapacitated of course. If there seems to be no way to win or get Elspeth out of there, he would want to find Bella and stop her before she can get there.
