Awww...it makes me feel good to take this video on face value and believe that her parents are supporting her. I think it's reassuring and maybe a little more realistic. If this is true, it goes to show how little her parents know about the faith. It makes me think they were following along blindly (as they seemed to be expecting Bree to do), yet they value her input and want to help her.
I think the conflict is going to be between the elders/deacons rather than her parents, which is reassuring. _________________ President of the Owen Fan Club |

I don't believe the fact that Bree's fingernails are painted is indicative of her seeing Lucy. She's a girl. We paint our fingernails. _________________ Vice President of the Owen Fan Club

Why does everyone assume that when Bree has on nailpolish that she is seeing Lucy!?! Girls paint their nails, and she's doesn't need Lucy to help her. _________________ It's the Cornwallis Effect! |

I would love it if Bree's mom got into an argument with the elders. More Bree's mom! (please?) _________________ always late to the party |

The thing is that her parents are consistently described as being very philosophically rigorous and educated. Sure anyone can be sucked into being a mindless follower of something, but it seems less likely here, considering what we know of them. It seems likely they're not telling all of what they know. Perhaps they are really higher up in this religion, yet they must conceal this and feign ignorance, even from their own daughter, since she is not at their level in the organization. Considering the amount of secrecy, this seems plausible. _________________ Knowledge is just opinion that you trust enough to act upon.

Yep, good possibilities. But intelligence doesn't necessarily relate when it comes to faith. Some of the smartest people have given themselves over to what they believe in.
You guys could be right, they could be hiding things and misleading her. I just like to think they're going to support Bree, since a girl needs her parents... _________________ President of the Owen Fan Club |

I don't think her parents are the bad guys in this..
I'm sure there is more drama to come, but I don't think its her parents "setting a trap for Daniel" or anything like that.
I'll be interested to see what happens when Daniel visits tomorrow, hopefully her parents will have spoken to the Deacons by then. _________________ The Google Sleeps Alone Tonight. |

Yay. Maybe we will get some Proving Science Wrong again.
However it seems to me that she got out of the ceremony to way to easy.
I agree with what some of the others have posted here, something is not right. Daniel pls be wary. |

Bree's mom supposedly thinks that interfering with a persons free will is a crime punishable by lethal injection (though she appears to be a hypocrite). Who does SHE believe is interfering with Bree's free will? Does she think that it is her, Bree's father and "The Order"?
Probably not, but she might think that Daniel is. (Remember how much Bree wanted to be in the ceremony before?)
Which is another reason Daniel should be very suspicious of Bree's parents motives when they say she doesn't have to be in the ceremony and that he can come back over.................
Unless of course Bree's parents are completely in the dark about everything, which still doesn't make it any safer for Daniel to come out of hiding. |

This could actually be true! Since they wanted her to go throught with the ceremony so badly, they would be willing to lie. And obviously their religion is okay with lying to get what you want. _________________ It's the Cornwallis Effect! |

I always believe what the cup o' noodles tells me! Then again, I try very hard not to listen to the toaster, because it's always telling me to burn things... Bad toaster! _________________ President of the Owen Fan Club |

I don't think Bree's parents are in on it. I believe that they are on the lower knowing end of the cult, just doing what the elder's tell them to. I believe they think they can go in and say Bree doesn't want to do the ceremony anymore, and the elders will just say ok.
I don't think Daniel being able to come over again has to do with setting him up as much as being grateful that he cared enough to watch out for Bree.
Of course I could be wrong... I can't wait to find out! |
