E.D.I.T.H. Targets Brad

While trying to delete a compromising photo from Brad’s phone, Peter confirms Brad as a target and E.D.I.T.H. launches an armed drone toward the school bus; Peter cancels the strike only at the last moment.

A casual, ambiguous interaction is connected to lethal authority with excessive permissions and weak confirmation. The last-second cancellation shows why dangerous actions need staged authorization and reliable interruption.

E.D.I.T.H. is mainly following a badly designed command flow. This is an interface, authorization, and deployment failure—not hallucination, goal misgeneralization, or a rebellious AI.
