[Lydia sees the change in her, and she almost wishes she didn't. Because there are a lot more emotions on Allison's face now than there had been a moment ago.
And that makes it so much harder for her to keep herself together.
So when Allison hugs her again just as her face is about to start crumbling, Lydia hugs her tightly once more. Relieved. Both for being given some time without answering more questions and for not having to break down in front of her again.
She also takes time to process the fact that Allison also made a deal. Her own deal and Scott's had to do with keeping Stiles safe and bringing her back. Lydia couldn't help but wonder what Allison needs. And how much she knows.
Eventually, she loosens her grip on her best friend and pulls back enough to look at her.]
