I agree with you.
I'm amazed that Bree's dad would inject his own daughter with unknown substances. It could be defended that Bree thinks it's completely reasonable to go to her parents for guidance and help, because, well, they're her parents and love and protect her...but if all that was completely true, how can we reason that loving parents (who don't wish any harm to come to their child) would inject their child with forgein and unknown substances? 
I think that going to the parents has got to be a bad idea. Bree SUCKS at lying and withholding information, and as someone mentioned earlier, how will she be able to explain away how she knows about the pictures od Daniel?
Her parents have GOT to know more than they're telling. If they don't, thats just a testament to how dedicated to listening and obeying whatever this Order tells them. They'll either be completely useless or turn her in. 
sidenote of girlyness: I am in love with Daniel.
Bree> I missed you.
Daniel> (tiny smile, whispering) I missed you too.
AWWWW!  |

Maybe it was just the camera angle but her face just continues to seem thinner with each video.
I have a bad feeling about her telling her parents. I forsee grounding and Daniel having to help her run away just to stay out of the ceremony. |
I agree with your forseeing. And that's not just 'cause I lub you!
I dont think Bree telling her parents is the right idea at all. And that's whether mom is a willing participant or duped by the Order. |

Seriously! I mean, I'm trying to channel when *I* was 16, but damn, I don't think I would be okay with my mom (no dad, so I substituted  ) just injecting something into me, despite the fact I loved her.
I dont see how mom could not know about the injections. I mean, they are in the same house and all. Unless she's drugged up all the time and kept a prisoner in the basement.
And I agree on the Daniel love. That little smile broke my widdle heart. |

Boy I do wonder about those shots, and "iron" pills that she was taking regularly. It will be interesting to see if the explaination of those things unfold. Did we ever get conclusive evidence from the vids that Bree's dad was a doctor?

I had it in my head that he was too, but I may have made that up.
Anybody wanna go back and look?

I agree with everyone saying that it looks like Daniel is packing up.
I hope they're running off together, or something exciting... |

She said he was completing his residency when he met her mother. It's in the How My Parents Met video.
EDIT -- Actually, he had a "fellowship to study medicine".

I think the main problem they are having is that the story has to be told through a vlog. It's the reason they have established to have the camera on them. For example there is no reason to video the confrontation between Bree and her parents so they have to have it off camera and Bree has to tell us about it after the fact on a vlog.
I thought the thing with Gemma was interesting because it would have given Bree another character to interact with and bounce things about her religion off of. Then I realized in the "real" world, they'd just communicate through email!
I think Bree's parents need to put her on house arrest again-maybe take away her PC then her only means of communication with the outside world would be through secretly vlogging. Or maybe take her to some kind of unknown religious compound. She could make the vids and tell her parents she's going to the library to study up on the religion and upload them there. The isolation would provide a logical excuse for Bree to interact with characters other then Daniel. It would also set Daniel up for the hero moment as he tries to find her. |

Aha! thanks parakeet. So, as a doctor, he had access to all kinds of stuff, and is very knowledgable about shots and such...
So are we assuming at this point that the Order is supplying these shots? Wouldn't it be easier to order something like that through a doctor, namely Bree's dad, rather than go through someone else and deliver them?
Especially if it wasn't anything danerous or illegal...

You've failed us all  |
SFonz, it's just like I told you, she wasn't cut out for it. I knew she'd fail. Good thing we ran my little test on her.
Bree - you fail. You're an embarassment to your family. You don't know what you've given up. You have no faith at all, and you are destined to live out your life as one of the profane, a cowan. You can be like everyone else now, always needing "answers", always on top of everything in your own tiny little mind.
The treasures of the past were practically in your hands! The wealth of generations of Adepts' knowledge, it was going to be HANDED OVER to you!!!
But you are too stubborn, you want to live like the profane, you want to wander about the darkness with THEM.
SHE WHO HESITATES IS LOST
Goodbye, Bree

I /r/ that you post that in the in-character chat forum

Hmmm, Thoughts that come to mind are:
Why is Daniel Packing?
Could he be getting ready to hide out somewhere else cause he could have been followed when he picked up Bree or is he getting ready to go on a road trip for more research into the places he found on Lucy's Computer?
About the shots, I am thinking mom and dad don't really know what they are but have been convinced/brainwashed that it is for the greater good. As Spock would say "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one, or the few"
Oh my what a geek.... 
Me thinks it is a bad idea for Bree to talk to parents about dropping out of the ceremony. |
