When I try to picture what it would have looked like, I see something very daytime soap - extreme close ups, a steering wheel that is moving way too much in his hands, lights reflecting off of the rearview mirror into Coleman's eyes, all ending in screams but no shot of the accident.

Imagine Me Gone is the book I'd been looking for for quite a while. Amazing prose, fully realized characters, thought-provoking, darkly humorous, but all very accessible for the reader who likes more than breezy reads. (Don't get me wrong - I like a breezy read if it's actually written well and not thoroughly

I sort of wonder, though. Could Freddie have planned all of that to get Naz to agree to his protection? It's pretty clear Freddie runs the place. Someone doing that kind of bidding to manipulate Naz for him doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.

I think the cat is meant to be symbolic of Naz. It's been collected, discarded along with other similar creatures, and trapped in a cage facing almost certain death. Even though Stone checked in on it, he isn't able to take care of it.

The whole "Darius has had his back surgery" part was ridiculous in the timeframe they established. It was one week, and Romeo is still recovering (we guess? the handling of that was horrendous for a show claiming in a meta way to want to deal with 'real issues'), yet Darius is up walking around.

I kept thinking that the party must have been happening super close for Quinn, Rachel, and Coleman to be getting there and back so quickly. It was distracting.

I kept wondering who they were going to pull out to play the therapist, so that I didn't see. But I saw Rhys faking the drunkenness and shorting out the cameras on purpose from a mile away. I just thought it would be in cahoots with the kid to take everybody's money and get the buy-in back.

No joke. I had the same thought about how they seem to fairly consistently end up on the opposite side of the fence with their paying clients, and they only debated the morality / ethics of that once.

The dead doctor and who orchestrated the fake DNA test results are big questions for me. Along with what that key is that Ben had been hiding in the bunker.

I was wondering the same thing about the suffocation. That box would fill up with carbon dioxide pretty fast, and according to the tests Doug was doing on poor Milo, he'd at least given Adam enough to knock him out for over two hours.

The question I keep asking myself is, "Why did Ben decide to take on Adam's persona, instead of going back to his own family??" Was his own life pre-abduction that bad? Did he and Adam make some sort of pact? Does he just not remember much about his own life?
