All things considered, you'd think Erica and Kendall would refer to Michael as "Michael", as opposed to almost ALWAYS referring to him as "Michael Cambias".

Mia keeps calling out to Edmund, despite the fact that no one is answering AND she hears someone, even as she muses that the security guards are all gone and the front door is unlocked. She was THERE at the park that afternoon -- it's WHY she's on crutches. How stupid can she be about the situation being a little unusual and probably DANGEROUS, not to mention the incredibly bad timing of deciding to SURPRISE them with a visit right after Maddie witnesses a murder and is nearly murdered herself? Mia becomes frightened. She yells out for Edmund NOT to scare her. Well, make up your mind, Honey -- if you're going to have anything to do with Edmund, you WILL be scared. If you're going to hobble into dark castles through unlocked doors, despite the fact that you are uninvited and no one okayed your access, you WILL be scared (not to mention trespassing).

The music at SOS makes it sound like the place is bustling with dancers and partiers. It brings to mind people spinning around the dancefloor at dazzling speeds and some of them being thrown up into the air (and hopefully CAUGHT on their way back down). Once inside, though, you see there are VERY few people inside, and the ones that ARE there are merely sitting around talking quietly. It's dark out. It's WAY past even dinnertime. Shouldn't they be REAL busy at this time of night, even on a weeknight in a [cough] small town?

Michael's driver is honking his horn in a very irritating manner, urging Michael to step on it, presumably. 1) How does the driver know Michael just stepped out of the condo, considering the courtyard is not visible from the street or even parking lot? 2) Michael doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate an underling honking horns at him in an effort to make him get the lead out of his ass -- a steering wheel EMBEDDED in the ass of the driver is what I'm picturing as soon as Michael gets to the curb.

How did Reggie get into Erica's place? Jack may have called down to Security to let them know it was okay for him to come up (like that's ever stopped anyone before), but the door should still have been locked. The idea of him living there with Erica and Jack certainly seems to have thrown her for a loop, though.

A billionaire corporate mogul (a ruthless, cunning and secretive one, at that) has a laptop that doesn't even need a PASSWORD? Yeah, RIGHT! And it INSTANTLY turns on or he left it in sleep mode (in which case it SHOULD ask for a password upon waking up) right before leaving for a trip to Buenos Aires? I like the fact that Kendall used a USB thumbdrive to transfer data, though. I have some and LOVE them!

Why doesn't Wildwind have voicemail or, at the very least, a 1970s wood-paneled answering machine?

Mia's a real fighter, which is a really good thing since she doesn't have much in the brains department.
