A weird thing happened while I was writing my recap ofepisode eight.
My brain miscalculated and I assumed it wasThe Vows finale.
My original draft wondered how on Earth the seriess creators could leave so much hanging in the air.
Keith hadnt even been arrested!
The FBI investigation had just begun!
I edited out the bits where I whined about it as a terrible finale.
And then I watched episode nine, The Fall, believing this was the end of the line.
Now withthe news thatThe Vowwas granted a second season, things are again in flux.
The last minutes of this episode There are many ways of presenting a documentary.
Your side is only the very top layer.
And depending on what youre willing to present as the truth, it can go very deep.
So talk to me are clearly included as cliffhangers.

What delightful happenstance that they are back in Albany when Keith is hauled across the border by the U.S. Or, perhaps, what great framing and setup byThe Vows creators.
when she hears of Keiths indictment.)
But the notion of guilt is so slippery here.
How much blame should Allison Mack shoulder if she too was brainwashed?
Do Mark and Nippy deserve an out because they saw the light before Keiths scheme came crashing down?
Then again, theres always next season.
