Maggie beans Philip. Guy runs in front of camera as Julia examines Philip. Wasn't there any room behind the cameraman?
Philip comes closest he could to a confession, saying to Maggie that he could have been responsible for what happened to her... awkward pause as Maggie considers what he meant. The Todds unleashed Michael on the world, that's what he's thinking I guess.
The business of Michael "dying" and the Todds' attitude toward it is interesting and possibly inspired. M Maitland is good... Michael's really scared. But of what? It seems as if there must be some sense in which Michael really is dying. Megan is genuinely distraught. It's exactly like a son dying to her, even in private with Philip. Yet when called on to be practical, she realizes it's necessary and not really death death...
I guess Michael is being put through the actual physical (and emotional) process of dying, the pain and deterioration, with the exception of the actual death part at the end. (Alright, when I said that just now, it reminded me of why I love DS!) Dying hurts...
