I agree with the gripe about the alternate ending. I don't like the fact that VM might be under suspicion. However, I can explain why the mother waited so long. I'm thinking that the parents actually expected her to die and when she didn't (and she might be coming back to consciousness), then the mother decided to act.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Does the alternate ending stuff need to be whitefonted? If it's canon, then it's as current as the rest of the ep, right? I mean, it's not really a spoiler, is it? White font always confuses me.
Anyway, I have a hard time believing that nice normal acting Meg secretly comes from a psycho religious family that would lock up their littlest daughter in a closet and make her write all that weird stuff and kill their oldest daughter because she is pregnant. It just seems so weird. However, I have so much faith in RT from last season that I'm just pointing out how unbelievable it seems. I still have faith he can bring it all together.
Also, loved AH and CC together. And I loved the fight in the bathroom

This was a very good episode. I loved the scene with CC and AH.
What was the principal doing when he was changing the name plate on his desk? I didn't follow that.
RE the alternate ending Wouldn't the nurse call a doctor or check on the patient first and then worry about security?

sj, i think it was showing us that he had ascended to the principal position now.

Van Clemmons is now the new principal becasue the other guy was fired or resigned. He was changing the name plate to reflect this fact.

Oh, I thought he was always the principal. I don't follow this show as closely as I should. I enjoy watching it, but I don't have appointment tv love for it.

Oops. Wrong thread.
Well, might as well edit to add some content.
Stephanie, I'm having some issue with the 180 degree turnaround in Meg's characterization this season as well. (and to think, for most of the part, she was comatose!) It sort of fits the noir axiom of Everyone Has A Thing To Hide/Lying Through Their Teeth, but still.
I don't usually notice the fight stuff on this show, unlike Buffy, but I thought both the scene at River Stix last week (when Ed Jerse hauled Veronica up and slammed her down on the pool table) and the fight between Weevil and Logan in this episode were terrifically done. Nice, dynamic camera work, plus some real heat and menace behind the violence.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I've read that the alternative ending has no bearing on the plot lines. It was just a publicity stunt. Between this and the Someone! Will! Die! (oh, that old trick...)promo, I'm getting teed off at UPN.
