I'm obviously not a doctor, so I'm wondering what exactly Elizabeth is hooked up to? It looks like she's hooked up to some kind of liquid. At least, there's one next to her bed. Actually, she doesn't look hooked up to it, after all! What's it there for, then?!
The sound isn't great in this episode. I'm having a little hard time understanding Carolyn and Elizabeth talking in the hospital.
So David has no idea what happened. Poor boy. Hope he never finds out.
Roger's reaction to hearing David might have died was pretty good. I think the acting was good there, and again he seems genuinely concerned about his boy.
It's so funny how kids always say things happened a long time ago. David says that Matthew helped make a fishing pole that he especially liked 'a loooong time ago'. When was that, David? 2 years ago? You're only 9.
At the end of this one, the credits roll over the sitting room. There's a statue I only noticed in this episode. It looks like a dancer. What does it look like to you?

So apparently the body has once again vanished. Shouldn't the authorities have been called immediately after the fire, with a woman's having burned to death?? It seems odd that only Vicky was there.
You'd think the fire department would have been out there to put out the fire. Or maybe it's small enough that Joe and Burke did it by themselves? My first thought when they mentioned the phoenix being born out of the ashes was to sweep them away so she can't come back!

Roger's reaction to the news of Laura's death and David's narrow escape seems poignant, yet still somewhat mysterious. That is a strange and curiously moving scene in David's room near the end—with David, after all that has happened with his mother, ending up mourning only the loss of a fishing pole—and Roger, meanwhile, trying obviously to grapple with Laura's death; he seems perplexed as to what to say, or even to think (as one would, I suppose!).
I loved this scene. I only wish that Roger would come out one of these times and tell David that he cares and loves him.

I guess we will never know the answers to our questions—Vicky's and Roger's final lines seem to bear that out.
I think the body in Phoenix was the real Laura, and the Laura that comes to get David was an evil Laura that had all her memories.... And for some reason wanted to kill good Laura's son, too! Anyway, those are my thoughts.
