[And this is something that Stiles excels in: having faith in people in his life even when they don't have any in themselves. It's strange, considering how little trust he has for most, but faith and trust aren't really the same thing, either. It crosses over on occasion: he trusts both Scott and Lydia absolutely, and has faith in their ability to do things that neither of them believes they're capable of.

He doesn't entirely trust most of his new friends on the Barge -- mostly because he hasn't known them long enough to develop the same levels of trust he has with his friends from home. But faith? He has faith that his warden friends -- especially Bucky and Steve and Gwen and Peter -- will be able to graduate inmates and get their deals. He has faith that his inmate friends, like Needy will graduate.
