i only saw the first 15 and last two minutes of last nights show, but when i watched it, my friend and i both were laughing about how they always make it seem like people are dead, and how they always come out of these ridiculous situations alive, and how there's no way they can kill off one of the main characters.
well it started to sink in when i went to the official fox website today, and it actually gave a plot summary of the show including something about "Marissa's last words before she dies." they left the scene open to enough interpretation, though, where they can negotiate with her all summer to have her back by next fall. the show is going to flop if they actually don't bring her back.
