Chapter 170, Investigations and Gates
General job: Add Lucy / Kate to investigation and gate security.
Connects from 169: Their route meets the city.
Core movement: They enter the investigation and security layer beside Emma, Kate Beckett, and eventually Bo / Shaw in later structure, without becoming a main couple.
Must carry: Gates as moral pressure; Emma’s internal security; Kate Beckett governance / justice; Regina’s civic concern.
Must not do: Do not make them another version of Emma and Kate. Do not overpromote them into the emotional center.
Hands to next chapter: Internal justice and gate logic are stronger, setting up medical-family expansion.
