Chats
Unknown until the day of events, and only announced through the link to reach the Java version of the IRC chatroom, there were to be several chats in-character on NowLive.
11AM PDT
Emma came onto the chatroom after the 11:00, chatting on location from her boarding school. She was worried about TAAG and wanted to know what had happened. When the users told her, she wanted to know where the boat was going. She was told that Sarah had given the coordinates to the location, and told Emma the news that Sarah had been the plantcake all along. Emma couldn’t believe that Sarah is completely on the side of the Order, and she insisted that Sarah couldn’t be as evil as she seems to be. She then asked about Taylor, saying that she is the key. She left briefly because her roommate came in, and then returned. She reiterated that Taylor is the key, then left.
2PM PDT
Emma came into the chat at 2PM EDT. Rather than talking about the latest video, she announced that she was going into hiding, afraid that the Order would locate her. She bid fans farewell and quickly signed off.

Live Chat
In order to answer fans' questions regarding the numerous changes announced along with the series finale, the Creators held a NowLive chat on July 14th, 2008. In chat, very little regarding the finale was revealed other than "familiar faces" would be seen again, and there would be several videos. (As described by Greg Goodfried, there will be "more than one and less than thirteen" videos.)
