Yeah, something like that just seems to good to be true.

Yeah, and each time she came back she came back "wrong." That's one the major reasons why I feel so bad for the character.

I think you've hit it. I don't think the writers would have given us those obvious hints in "Offspring" esp. with the crossbow if it wasn't true.

I think I'm going to rewind over and over.

Very true and good points. :)

It really is and I'm not going to. Been down that road before.

Yeah, maybe we'll hear something more about Darla tonight or tomorrow. Usually when there's a major event, some media outlet publishes an article the next day.
