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 suspect the ambiguous endings are supposed to be noirish, as was the OTTness of the A plot in this ep.
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."
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.

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.
I regret to inform you that evidently Mallard Fillmore, the never-funny right wing duck of the comic strips, is supposedly a big fan of the show. Sortof a "Hitler was a vegetarian?" kind of news.
Maybe instead of being bigoted and regretting that somebody whose politics you don't like is watching, you should be glad that the show is getting exposure to a new audience that may get a few more people to watch it. Just a thought.
instead of being bigoted
I admit it. I believe that Ducks are an inferior race and should be eaten. Preferably with a sweet and spicy chili sauce.

I actually prefer a light orange glaze.
