This was a jaw dropper episode. It was pretty much up there with the Elevator episode from LA Law as a well held surprise. And it wasn't shocking that UPN couldn't get casual viewers to the tube to watch it.
UPN was that bad of a network.
It wasn't the reveal of the Bus terrorist that garnered my high rating. It was that and the sub stories: Veronika's "What If" Dream. Jackie Cook's conversion to a great character, and her determination to not give that up. Vinnie Van Lowe's and Keith Mars' partnership. Principal Clemmon's final conversation with Veronica. And Weevil's "march" to graduation. All these scenes were something to remember.
The culprit's reveal, however, was well underplayed - straight out of an Agatha Christie pulp novel. As they watch the reveal, the viewer will only wonder why they didn't catch on sooner.
