Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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

my first reaction upon seeing her story was Dark Phoenix/Jean Gray (the movie version, not the comic book version)-- that they were symbolizing her schizophrenia via the reflections.

Yeah, I have to think the reflections are a psychological manifestation because that doesn't work with the crazy genetics. I think she's got a freaky-ass split personality, though.

Then there's the "why didn't the evil alter-ego bury the bodies?" Unless Evil!Alter-Ego is so evil that it wants to drag NotEvil!JustStupid down to it's level, thereby making it easier to take over full-time, cuz it certainly took the time to clean the garage.

Heh, yeah, I was wondering about that. I guess she ran out of time or something!

Part of me wonders if the mirror personality is the serial killer the police are looking for, considering she/it has obviously killed before.

Oh, that's a good point! But I don't think so because Sylar sounded very obviously male in that message.

Voicemail?

The message on Papa Suresh's answering machine from Patient Zero.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Yes, the doctor and the neighbor listened to his dad's messages, where the voice said it was Silar, and the dad asked him not to call. Silar said the the dad had helped him discover his gifts, and he should be glad. The dad asked him not to call again.

I thought she had blood spattered across the front of her shirt?

Wasn't she wearing the same shirt when she left her son at her friends at first? I didn't think that she did.

proximity oriented

That would be interesting, but would make getting the car difficult.

didn't you see my handwave about delivery :)

Actually, I'm more inclined to think that the limitation is time.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

that they were symbolizing her schizophrenia via the reflections.

That could be it. But then why was the mirror image covered in blood (not just her shirt, but her hands too) and good!stripper didn't have anything on her? To me, that points to their being two separate entities, which doesn't really hold water with the genetic-mutation theory, IMO. Also, there was that crazy bit where good!stripper was in the car at a streetlight, holding the video camera in her hand and wearing the white shirt, and then suddenly realized that she was parked in a parking lot, holding her phone and wearing a red shirt. I mean, I loved how that shot was done, but WTF?

And if she's killed before, her mirror self obviously cleaned up after herself enough to keep her in the dark, so why did she wake up this time to see the bodies?

That makes the most sense to me. It did seem like that location was out in the middle of nowhere. Wonder how she knew about it, though, and...

headTARDIS

That's what Kalshane meant about it being clear she'd killed before.

That's when the other self took over and cleaned up the garage.
