This episode really raised a lot more questions than it answered... remember the grave Peter was digging up in the very beginning, unearthing a skeleton buried with a baseball glove and saying, "This is just wrong"?

So, what on earth happened there?

We have:

A girl who unleashed a storm and caused a fight to break out.
A skull with a bullet hole right through it in one of the graves.
A child's skeleton without visible bullet wounds in another grave.

Okay, we're led to believe that this means that:

There was a sort of uprising in the camp, and people were killed in the storm as well as in the fight.
Then the government must have decided that all these specials were safer dead, and had them executed. (Judging by the first skull Nathan found.)
Apparently, the other bodies were buried with a lot of respect by the government - I mean, burying a kid with his baseball glove? That's either very heart-warming or very cynical.


Does anyone else think there were a lot more stories to be told there, and we should have got more of them, too? Angela still doesn't know a lot more about what happened at Coyote Sands than she did for the last fifty years.

Well, the main reason Angela went to Coyote Sands was because of her sister. I don't think she went there to figure out what happened to everyone else because she knew that they were all dead.

I can see this being answered in a GN... that is if they want to. Or someone on 9th can always do a fanfic.

The way I saw it, after Random Soldier #1 shoots that guy, the specials discover that hey, maybe the guards arn't here for their protection. They fight back (the same way that guy fought back when Chandra slapped Alice), and start wreaking havoc. The soldiers, panicing, start mowing down the people they view as threats. After the dust settles, and everyone is dead, the soldiers/scientists left think "holy crap, what have we done?" and proceed to bury the dead.

Afterwards, The Jr Company mindwipes/kills everyone involved, and everything is gravy.
