I believe this is the first time we hear that witchy, spell-casting music with the swooping violins--but far from the last time!

This script writer can't seem to wait for Maggie and Joe to become an item. They are very cute together!

So much new, classic DS music (plus a lot of new music that didn't last) is introduced with Laura that I couldn't keep track of all of it.

Interesting that it was the trauma of the accident and what happened afterwards that sent Laura into a downward spiral of alcoholism and insanity.  They worry about where her present loyalties may lie, given that she is no longer so much a Collins.

In the VoiceOver Vickie states her life is serene. Finally a. Real from being menaced, kidnapped, and hated.
Sam reveals he is not sure  that Lauraknows he witnessed the accident. Is this the first time we know exactly Sam's roll in said accident?  Sam becomes inspired to paint and then does not remember painting a woman in flames.

Well, that's what Roger thinks, anyway.  That may say more about Roger than it does about Laura.  Still, we got more detail about Laura today than we have gotten previously.  I don't think alcohol has ever been mentioned before; all we knew was that she was in an institution.  The writers were being carefully vague so that they would have a free hand when they finally decided what to do with her.

I liked the gesture with which Sam requested another drink from Bob the Bartender as Roger left.

Maggie asked Joe about his boat.  What boat?  Last we heard, Joe got drunk because his friend had backed out of their plans to buy a boat together.

Yes, that's a good point.  [spoiler]As the episodes have gone on, I've been wondering how much of the 'hopeless, terminal' insanity she exhibited at the institution was in fact her remembering her past lives and supernatural existance as a phoenix.  Perhaps the accident just compounded the trauma and difficulty of her very long life.  [/spoiler]
