Really... Having made it through NINE TORTUROUS EPISODES of this schlock, that's the only conclusion one can reach. The sheer stupidity of the writing in this series makes the "Archie" comics of yore seem like high literature. To make it to this point in the story and find out that all, ALL of the pain, heartbreak, violence, fear and DEATH that's plagued the Locke family and their friends could have been avoided if only Ellie wasn't such a pathetically gormless excuse for a human being. So hung up on a high school boyfriend that even 25 YEARS after his death she'd do something so stupid is just beyond comprehension, even for the hormonal teenagers who seem to be the target audience of this show.
