Yeah, I thought this too.

So what to make of the pic at the end? The reporter guy is really that girl’s husband but doesn’t realize it/has amnesia? (valiant but futile attempt at a Lost style WTF ending there)
I think the pic is either a total photoshop job done by the detective to discredit the reporter. OR it’s the reason the Reporter won’t let the thing drop.
Yeah, I’m gonna go with “they” wiped his mind or something, and the reason he refuses to drop the case is because somewhere deep down he recognizes her.
Feel like I’m being led by the nose, and I don’t like it. Still interested enough to keep watching though. The only worthwhile thing to talk about was the pic, and I guess I’m going with Disciple’s read for now.
ETA: Hmm maybe not the only thing worth talking about. When cancerwife guy said to car salesman “You’re not really a car salesman,” and he answered “No, I’m not”, I was a bit intrigued. That stuff was paraphrased.
Please oh please let it be aliens.
Re: the photo – has to be a photoshop job. The only reason for its existence is to sideline Reporter.

Oh, and I guess I was wrong about this, based on the preview for next week.
Just caught up this weekend. Horribly acted, horribly written, but oddly intriguing. Almost the inverse of Lost, works best when focusing on the mystery and avoiding the character development.
The writing has steadily gotten worse just as the writers themselves have gotten (relatively) worse. We’ve gone from Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects/Valkyrie) to Remi Aubuchon (Caprica/From the Earth to the Moon) to Sandy Isaac (errrr, a couple episodes of that terrible show Wildfire, and uh…)
Hopefully tonight’s is written by somebody with a degree of subtlety.
I’m still enjoying this, although I saw the end reveal coming about half-way through the episode because the only way those two would have made it back to the town like that was if one of them had been guiding them in its direction.
Tori’s meltdown was not awful. Still the main story was insanely predictable, which makes me wonder if the predictability a trick to pull-off an amazing twist at the end or just really really REALLY dumb. The short life of the show is keeping me dialed in as it’s the summer and it’s entertaining enough for passive watching.
Only caught the end of the episode because they switched up the time on me. Came on at 7pm insted of the usual 9pm. I don’t remember that being advertised either.
So it’s like a government experiment type thing right.
That was better. Some genuine suspense, more subtle dialogue, and some much needed progression.
I don’t know what the goal is, but I think there might be a handler / inmate kinda thing going on. Joe/Janet, Pyscho/Barbie, RichDude/NotCarSalesman. Not sure about soldier boy, maybe he is like a bouncer or something. Also not sure who is the handler with RichDude and NotCarSalesman. Also, most importantly, this probably is not what’s going on. heh.
This show is terrible. If Reporter was married to Mom, doesn’t the whole interview scene with Mom’s mother get completely thrown out the window? And why does Mom like and trrust Loner Joe so much? He’s done nothing to earn that. And what the hell was the whole point of the taxi ride to the cabin full of bees?
I kinda like your handler theory, TS.
The woman was estranged from her mother for years, she never met the reporter/husband.

Because Janet was abused I don’t think she spoke to her mother and so the mother never knew what the reporter looked like.
Her trusting Joe may come from him letting her out of her room in the beginning or that the script called for it.
The taxi ride was more of a test for her to see if she’d help Joe out of there or just leave him to certain death.
These are all guess. I got the sense that some of the people (including Janet) are being trained for something. What I have no clue.

But that’s his kid, right? His kid that’s being cared for by her abusive grandmother?

But she picked Joe to go with her. Again, why does she like him so much? Two weeks ago she pulled a gun on him.
And if she gets to pick who gets in the taxi with her, why Loner Joe, who has no one on the outside? Wouldn’t she pick the guy with the dying wife he cares for, or the young girl? Or the trained soldier for protection?
Completely true. There is no real reason other than the script has been putting the two of them together.
It’s funny that Janet got pissed at the not used car salesman for walking on by, but has pretty much at every opportunity acted in pure self-interest (up until Joe and the bees, as taking Joe was more about her having the person she liked best rather than who deserved or needed it most).
