Looking at Nudge's expression, I assume she's thinking about whether/how to improve Lily's attitude.
(Running with scissors... Heck, ALL kids think they're immortal and invulnerable. I just want to know where she found scissors on a deserted island. Someone bring a sewing kit or toolkit or something of that sort?)

They don't.
Not living humans, at any rate.
I was assuming from Paul's "Under the Slaughterhouse" picture (NSFW) that they can at least survive on animal blood, and seem, from dialog, to eat at least some regular food (else why carry a bagel? For bait?).

Frisbees and Dietzel do NOT get along.

Nah. Castela smuggled it over there. All she needs to do is unwrap a little, stick the scissors in, rewrap, and voila. No one the wiser...

Hmm. I recall June Bugs are not welcome. Must have be some other anthropomorphic dog that I recall throwing a Frizz.

Actually, Lily and Suzi probably don't realize it, but they're safer than the worst vampire there ever was at the present time.
Lily, for being Kath's grandmother.
Suzi, for being Monica's protector.

AFAI can remember, it took a LOT of niggling to get Monica that mad...

I don't think that there is any technical reason why Monica couldn't drop anybody who she wanted to at any time into the volcano, or into the middle of Lake Calhoun, or several thousand feet up in the air, or anyplace unpleasant that she has personally been to in the past. It's only her moral nature that (usually) keeps her from using that power maliciously.
As for her "reading your deepest fears" power, I don't think that we've seen yet what constraints there on where and when that can be used.
And while it did take Nudge deliberately prodding Monica to make Monica turn homicidal (demihominidicidal?), the story in the telling and retelling might not be so clear on that. Besides, neither of the vampires really know Monica well enough to comfortably judge how friendly or stable she is. They might be thinking, "Hey, this is the gal who once dropped one of her friends into a pit of lava just for insulting her," and that sort of notion isn't likely to be settling Lily's nerves any time soon.

...and then there was Kevin and Alan's strategy for Kevin to approach Monica in the park.

Yeah, it seems that Dietzel's main nemeses are junebugs, squirrels, and Frisbees. Though he may have reached an accord with the squirrels now.

Well, he and the squirrel both seemed to be watching Monica's encounter with the hornet with a certain degree of schadenfreude...

well gossip & rumour does tend to distort the facts.. and only Paul knows the rules... :/ But it is known that 'poiting' depends on if she has physically seen it..
It also depends if Paul want to do a 'evil twin' episode...
