Apparently, finding a bird in your house is a portent of a death in your family. So maybe Zack hadn't died yet.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was so not ready for that ep to end where it did - I was *sure* there was another act still to go!
Unfortunately, that also means that I completely didn't digest this ep and should probably watch it again. (Oh no. The horror.)

Another idea (I read at TWOP) is that the bird is trapped in his house much as Lee has felt trapped in his role as fighter pilot and son of his father.
But I can't help it, I really liked seeing him back in uniform.

Me, I thought the pigeon flew in from an SCC plot.

Hee.
There was a 51% chance that Lee wouldn't kill the bird.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That line cracked me up.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I thought the Lee bird scene was his returning home after the dinner with Kara and Zak, because his "double-dog dare you" line sounded like he was echoing something funny that had happened between the three of them. The bird could be a lot of things, and after reading a lot of TWOP, I think it was all of the things that have been suggested: Kara, death, freedom, the desire for flight in both senses, the thing -whatever- that is always just out of reach for him.

Is anyone else watching Ashes to Ashes on BBCA?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Agreed. I think, in a lot of ways, I lean toward the scene being set after Zack's death, as so much of the flashbacks seem to be about the characters' past dealings with loss and family, but it really works for all of the above.
