I SO did NOT see that coming!

By thasard, Nov 16, 2005

I instantly thought that we wouldn't find out til that end of this episode who the killer was when I learned that it would happen in this episode. I was also leading to Jenna becoming the dead friend.

So yes it was so easy for me to be fulled by this show into believing that Jenna was dead. Which then lead to the big shocker that Samantha was the one shot and killed! I thought for sure she had to live in order to complete the whole Joey-Rachel-Ross triangle question. (I'm a big Friends fan.) Even though Will since became a priest, my fingers were still crossed.

Craig reconciles with Will who is about to go off to war in Kuwait. Which kind of makes up for the year they spent apart.

Carla learns that the man she's been sleeping with, aka Amy's foster parent, Paul, is a rage-aholic. She first learns this through his ex Meghan, but then gets quite a bit of his wrath herself. It's a good thing he hasn't found out who else she's been taking Amy to see. Yet.moreless

Right on the money... although it's tragic.

9.5

By malinggit717, Nov 16, 2005

This was great. As I suspected, it was Sam... but when the show began I immediately thought I was wrong. They set up the show brilliantly, revealing the actual victim in the end.

I was thoroughly disappointed, thinking that when Sam sat down to tell a story... that she was meeting with the detective on the case. In actuality, it was for their high school reunion.

I was initially right tho... It was Sam, although I can\'t believe that they were all a part of it, especially since she married Craig and had a child together. I know that she betrayed him, but how could he live with himself knowing that he was part of killing the mother of his child? So sad...moreless

I totally called it in the third episode that she was gonna die

By saintsaucey, Nov 14, 2005

Check the reviews fokes, I totally called it at the end of the third episode when She asked to babysit the little girl. I totally knew that she would bite the big one. Though they did a good job of making me think i was wrong. Throwing that video tape in there to confuse us was clever of the creeps

The victim is Sam!!!

8.5

By gilmoregirl82, Nov 13, 2005

Wow the writers sure pulled a fast one. I totally believed that Jenna was the one who was murdered, but alas we were seeing the high school reunion tape. I have to admit that this show has gotten way better since the beginning. I cannot wait until the next episode. Carla is going to be in some major trouble, I only hope that Aaron can rescue her, if they do not end up together in the end I am going to be so unhappy. This show better go until the end, that would just be cruel, to cancel before we find out everything.moreless
