Well, it doesn't exactly look like she was in the Ritz either.  Prisoner of war's not a bad analogy,  Was this just an orphanage type place in this scene, or is she already in the psych ward or juvie?

I agree that it is Daniel who was shot.  But are we sure he is dead?  Jack is no doctor, and no else checks him really during that scene.  They just scream, cry and freak out.  He may pull through.  And it may not be fake Emily / real Amanda  who did it.  We don't see real Emily / fake Amanda at all.  Heck, even his…

.. and then he proceeded to nail her a bit harder, and she liked.  Don't think she left for Jason after that.

.. and it is soooo obvious he wants to bed Daniel.  He was virtually mounting him in bed before Daniel threw him off.  Anyone who called the homoerotic stuff last week - great call.
