Starting in the parking garage, Bree and her father are walking together towards their parked car, Bree on the viewer’s left side. Bree's father seems to anticipate the car's arrival, looking in its direction (to the viewer’s right.) This is some time (relatively) before the car arrives. Before the pair reach the car, a car speeds up between them and their car, coming from the viewer’s right and screeching to a stop. After pausing briefly, Bree and her father begin to walk away, as if to go around the front of the car. Judging by the movement of the camera, Jonas is getting out of the car at this point. Jonas, holding the camera, runs towards them. We find out latter that Daniel was running with him. Daniel calls Bree's name and she runs to him. As one of the people in the car approach, Bree's father turns and appears to run towards them. At this moment, Bree seems to hesitate, turning to see what is happening to her father, presumably. But she then turns back and continues to run towards Daniel. She meets Daniel, and he seems to catch her as she runs although she is clearly still moving towards Jonas' car. Now the camera cuts briefly to Bree's father, now accompanied by two people. He is being led away to the car. There are two things interesting about this scene, (a) a possible gun pointing down from between Bree's father and the person on his right, and (b) the person on the viewer’s right, who looks like they could be female. The camera cuts back to Bree and Daniel, running together towards Jonas' car. In the next frame, Bree appears to have dropped very slightly behind Daniel, and appears to glance backwards (towards the viewer). This frame may well coincide with the "gunshot" that many believe is fired in the clip. It shows Bree either struggling to free herself and possibly run back to her father and the presumed members of the order, or collapsing to the floor from a possible wound or from dismay. Jonas turns the camera back for a view of Bree’s father and the others. Jonas is clearly ahead of the other two, and Daniel is either holding Bree up or dragging her against her will to the car. Jonas gets in the driver's seat and shuts the door. The camera cuts to a final picture of where Bree's father and his two guides were. There is a lone man standing there. Some think this is Bree's father.

Revision as of 01:22, 3 January 2007

There has been much speculation as to what actually happened in the LG15 episode The Unthinkable Happened. This page is an effort to explore the possibilities and logically reconstruct what actually happened in the episode until the creators tie it down for us.

What happened?

Much is left open at the end of this episode. The following is a semi-comprehensive list of topics under discussion:

  • Suggestion: create a new page for any set of speculations that you link to from here. Once several consensus points are reached, someone can post them as a summary of how things are going under each point. People involved in forum discussions should post a link to the relevant forum thread.

The people involved: what were their roles in this scenario?

Bree

Bree's Father

Daniel

Jonas

Members of the order (?)

Lucy (?)

Watcher(?)

Gemma (?)

Brother (?)

Tachyon (?)

The events of the episode

Dainel and Jonas talking in the car.

Bree's talk with her father.

Following Bree and her father.

Waiting in the parking garage.

The car pulls up and aftermath.

The escape.

What Happens--in the parking garage

Starting in the parking garage, Bree and her father are walking together towards their parked car, Bree on the viewer’s left side. Bree's father seems to anticipate the car's arrival, looking in its direction (to the viewer’s right.) This is some time (relatively) before the car arrives. Before the pair reach the car, a car speeds up between them and their car, coming from the viewer’s right and screeching to a stop. After pausing briefly, Bree and her father begin to walk away, as if to go around the front of the car. Judging by the movement of the camera, Jonas is getting out of the car at this point. Jonas, holding the camera, runs towards them. We find out latter that Daniel was running with him. Daniel calls Bree's name and she runs to him. As one of the people in the car approach, Bree's father turns and appears to run towards them. At this moment, Bree seems to hesitate, turning to see what is happening to her father, presumably. But she then turns back and continues to run towards Daniel. She meets Daniel, and he seems to catch her as she runs although she is clearly still moving towards Jonas' car. Now the camera cuts briefly to Bree's father, now accompanied by two people. He is being led away to the car. There are two things interesting about this scene, (a) a possible gun pointing down from between Bree's father and the person on his right, and (b) the person on the viewer’s right, who looks like they could be female. The camera cuts back to Bree and Daniel, running together towards Jonas' car. In the next frame, Bree appears to have dropped very slightly behind Daniel, and appears to glance backwards (towards the viewer). This frame may well coincide with the "gunshot" that many believe is fired in the clip. It shows Bree either struggling to free herself and possibly run back to her father and the presumed members of the order, or collapsing to the floor from a possible wound or from dismay. Jonas turns the camera back for a view of Bree’s father and the others. Jonas is clearly ahead of the other two, and Daniel is either holding Bree up or dragging her against her will to the car. Jonas gets in the driver's seat and shuts the door. The camera cuts to a final picture of where Bree's father and his two guides were. There is a lone man standing there. Some think this is Bree's father.

===What happens--the talk between Bree and her Dad

Bree and her father appear to be walking out of a fenced-in yard, possibly the yard belongs to the yellow house. Then they both sit down. The yellow house may be a restaurant of some kind. Their heads hardly move at all. Bree’s eyes are focused downwards on something blocked by the car in the foreground, and the only gesture is made by Bree’s father--in one frame his hand is on his chin, and this is when Daniel says, “he looks freaked out.” We never see any facial expression in this sequence, perhaps alluding to a sense of defeat, or of the character’s having little hope.

The "gunshot"

Was there really a gunshot?

Who is the logical choice to be killed or wounded, considering that it is a show with a storyline?

Would they Creators allow a shot that didn't hit anything?

Reconstruction: what are the possibilties of what actually happened?

Jonas insists they talk to Bree, and Daniel insists they wait. Why?

Why did Bree's father drive them to the parking garage? Where did they walk to from the parking garage?

What happened during the shakey camera part?

  • What the people near the car were doing.
  • The shot heard 'round the Breeniverse. Was there really a shot? If so, did someone get hit? And is that person wounded or did they die?

What happened during the escape. The car that appears at the end before the screen fades to white; where is it going/does it have any significance?

The male figure standing alone by the "order car" before Jonas gets in his car.

Relevent quotes from previous episodes

Each page analyzing what happened should use evidence from previous LG15 episodes to discipline the speculation into logical reconstruction.

"When I was little, my dad used to encourage me to read by buying me Nancy Drew novels, so ever since then, I've been obsessed with any movie, TV show, or book that involves detectives, spies, and secret codes, anything where it all sort of... fits together at the end." - Bree, from Mystery Movies. This could be a clue that there is a subliminal message, as some people suspect during the parking lot scene, as Bree and her father are walking back to their car. (Feel free to examine, cut, and play backwards to feed to the public.)

"I think what's amazing about this whole thing is that the two of them came up with this elaborate code, without even being able to speak to each other. Anyways, he told her where to meet him. It's, uh, it's kind of in code, but I knew what he meant." - Daniel, from Roadtrip
