Huh.
You know, I believe Meg would be tormented yet feel unable to come forward to condemn her parents, but I cannot believe that 1) Meg would be so well-adjusted growing up in a household like this, and 2) Lizzie would have stayed quiet if she knew this was happening.
Duncan! With the letter-stealing and the possible Kendall-boinking! Hidden depth, boyfriend.
Lamb is not a complete asshole. Who knew?
I was wondering about that too. Unless this was an extreme/crazy/disturbed response to them "failing" with Lizzie and started happening recently.
Also, song at the end was annoying and played way too loud. Though the latter factor might have contributed to the degree of the former.
Thank you, again, RT, for the unnecessarily oblique ending. WTF?! Was the police car sitting outside observing the house or what?
I thought it was an absurdly great episode.

The unalloyed enjoyability of these eps feels like Buffy season 2 and 3 again.
I suspect the ambiguous endings are supposed to be noirish, as was the OTTness of the A plot in this ep.

I loved the music at the end.
The episode was awesome. VM continually makes me question the hour I spend watching Lost each week.
Both Lost and VM were incredibly dense this week. It was a draining 88 minutes of television.
It was. I think that the police car was letting Meg's parents know that they were being watched - intimidation.
(Also, Invasion managed to squeeze more action into their slightly shortened episode than they usually manage in at least two or three normal length episodes.)
I loved the music at the end.
The song is "Run," by Air.

I think the A plot served to give us a glance into the seedy underbelly of Neptune, which is really a major focus of the season. Last season, it was pretty much, ooh, Lilly Kane murder. This season, they're digging deeper into the town itself and what makes it tick. Someone on TWoP described it as "Peyton Place on acid."
