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-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Also, song at the end was annoying and played way too loud.
I loved the music at the end.

One Hot Burrito!
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.

Art Crawl!!!
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.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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."

Because books.
WTF?! Was the police car sitting outside observing the house or what?
I thought that was supposed to be a not-so-subtle "I'm watching you" warning for the parents.
I'm a bad skimmer -- I just realized sumi already mentioned this.
Although it doesn't quite explain why he's not off somewhere calling child protective services, to at least investigate.

Could also be that he called CPS and he's just waiting for them to show up.
I figure we'll find out soon enough.

Like we found out about the rat from last week?

Oh you kids today with your instant gratification needs!
In my day, we had to walk through the snow, uphill, bearfoot, to find out the answers to hanging plot threads.
