What happened right at the very end?
WaT ending: The kidnapper shot himself. No boy. They had to search the woods, and eventually found him alive in a hole in the ground covered with a trap door. It also provided clues to Bryan's true identity, and they reunited him with his mom at the very end.
Very painful episode.
New thread! Brilliant!
Easy labor and quick baby-ma to the Zmayhem!
Thanks, AmyLiz! I got from watching for two minutes that
Bryan was a kidnappee. It bugged me that the investigators didn't figure it out sooner.
Without a trace, and I think it may break me.
The episode was a very close gloss on
the Steven Staynor case, from the 70s, in California. Similar scenario: the older boy received a younger brother suddenly, and kidnapped him away to a police station, where he said, "This kid doesn't belong in my house." Except in the real case, there were no dramatic chases and reveals, just the messy aftermath.
Oh! Oh! Is the Halloweenie imminent? Hurray!
Damn, I forget to catch WaT.
Go JZ and Hec and Zmaybaby!

Steven Staynor case
Yes, that's probably why I worked it out right away. God, that was sad. He
had a hard life after he saved himself. And then died really young.
That (rl) case stayed in my head and broke my heart. I haven't ever watched WaT and almost gave it a go last night, but we had stuff on the TiVo we wanted to see. Now I'm grateful I didn't.
