I did not see that coming. ---

There was no reason to see it. It wasn’t foreshadowed at all. Sort of the opposite of a deus ex machina, but similar in effect. At best, it was a Jar of Tang.\* \*“My God. All this time we’ve been living in a jar of Tang!” \ ---

OK that was very cool! However my DVR cut off immediately after Amber Tamblyn walked in, asked “what’s up?” and the the big surprise was revealed. Did I miss anything after that? ---

Well, that…was interesting. I think I’m finally warming up to Taub, he looked adorable carrying that satin pillow. ---

So medical doctors can be granted the power for one day to legally marry couples in New Jersey or did I miss something, again. ---

> [@randwill](#): > > So medical doctors can be granted the power for one day to legally marry couples in New Jersey or did I miss something, again. I was confused by that also and I live in NJ. The ending was kind of random but they did indeed give hints in hindsight (sort of). The bones he ate; his confessions of doing evil. etc. ---

> [@Ruby Sees](#): > > As Chase once studied to be some kind of priest, maybe he was eligible for some reason… Chase attended a seminary, which according to [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seminary), prepares you for ordination. I guess TPOW really was a bad person. Masters is going to have to work really hard to stay optimistic about humanity after this one. ---

As for next the spoiler for the next episode (in three weeks, dammit!): So it looks like 13 has been in prison. Can’t say I was expecting that. ---

Who’s Ferris Bueller? WHO’S FERRIS BUELLER?? I feel old now. I did like the doctor’s explanation as to who he was. He’s a righteous dude. ---

Right after Taub said “and we saved him” Yep, it ended there. Maybe you missed the preview for the next episode, which is also revealed above. I wonder if Danny will return? It’s pretty creepy how he latched on to masters. ---

Right after Taub said “and we saved him” Actually, wasn’t it 13 murders in 10 states? Because it would be pretty difficult to commit murders in more states than there are victims. He would have to kill at least one person in each state to be wanted in that many states. ---

I can’t believe I’m the first person mentioning this. The PotW was played by Chris Marquette who played Adam Rove, Joan’s boyfriend on _Joan of Arcadia_, with Amber Tamblyn playing Joan. And the ongoing theme of Joan of Arcadia was God telling Joan what to do, even when it made no sense to her. That explains all the religious talk in this ep.
