As for Sarah. I bet as soon as she walked out that door with Davenport. There were other cops, putting the culfs on her. They set Hannah up to spill her guts. Goren made some comment that Hannah could never let go of his sister. by telling them what happened that night. Hannah got to keep her sister. Even if she was guilty, why would they arrest her? She was bailed out legally for the murder charges. Anyway, I do believe that Sarah was innocent, but I didn't really understand this episode to begin with. When Hannah was confessing, I thought that she was just implicating Sarah in desperation. As for the number, Hannah could have forced it out of Sarah. When they were in the holding cell together, it was clear to me who the evil one was. I will have to rewatch the ending scene a few more times to get this, but those are my initial thoughts

Good point Jeff, Sarah was out on bail, Maybe they could arrest her on other charges after Hannah spilled the beans. But I got to ask you, what about Mr Davenport, do you think he would take her into his home, after Hannah just told everyone how it was Sarah's idea to call his daughter. I often think about that scene, with the father of the two dead kids. Why didn't he throw himsellf on top of Sarah and attempt to strangle her. Maybe he was still numb with grief. I need to pull out that episode too, but its NOT on DVD, so its a little hard to find . but its my hubby favorite episode. He thinks Hannah is the greatest LOCI villian. but I have to agree with Nicole Marie when she says: It seemed in a many ways that Sarah was the leader of the two sisters. Hannah did the most of dirty work and Hanna appointed herself Sarah's "protector". Sarah seemed content to let Hannah rot in jail. She didn't appear to attempt to help Hannah at all. Sarah pulled Hannah's strings a bit. She could have put her foot down and didnt. Sarah allowed it to play out the way it did.

This is one of the only episodes that confuses me. As I said, I thought most of the stuff Hannah confessed to at the end was just a desperate grab to get her sister.
What you said about Mr. Davenport, I thought that he believed that Sarah was innocent and Hannah could have forced the number out of Sarah.
To me, the whole ending was just a set up so that Hannah would confess to her crimes and yell things like "Sarah. Look what I did for us. They found out. I killed them for us. Come back!" and when that failed, she tried to implicate Sarah so that she would have to stay.

About the episode, both sisters are twisted and selfish because in one way or the other both sacrifice the other sister for a new life with a new daddy. They are not an unbreakable couple, they just a temporary team.
Hannah didn't let Sarah have adoptive parents for love, she just didn't care while she was waiting for her dad and later uses Sarah for her purposes of getting inside that house. She cries at the end like if she wanted her sister back when what she really wanted is her chance of a new father back. And if she couldn't get it, Sarah either.
And Sarah looks like a lamb but she was part of the plan, she killed and doesn't hesitate when the new daddy gives her a lawyer and leaves her sister rot in jail. Why she doesn't ask him to get help for Hannah? even guilty people deserve a lawyer.

Yeah, Sarah could have chosen to stay with her sister, instead of being adopted. Both girls didnt have to go to New York in search of a "daddy" There real father could have been still alive. He was the one who left them at the orphange. They could have seeked him out instead. Why didnt they seek out a woman to replace their dead mother? Thanks Spainard for the tip. I need to look into that

Both sisters just care for their own plans and the don't support each other, they just kill together. You are right, Cassie, why they didn't look for their real father or another mother? they just wanted a rich man without having to sleep with him because Sarah already had a new father, the adoptive one. Hannah didn't want to be adopted but then she gives up the idea of waiting for her real father and instead of trying to have a friendly relationship with Sarah's adoptive parents, she looks for another man, a rich one.
Anydvd by Slysoft or Dvd X Player are examples of region-free computer programs.

H-m-m. I have a different view of the sisters. I saw them as having no distinct personality, almost as if they were two bodies sharing one person. I see them both as equally responsible for the killings, and I suspect the father will drop Sarah like a hot potato the minute he can.

But of course, Patcat. This man is going to kick Sarah out, he won´t forget his two children for a killer babysitter. Maybe Sarah was bailed out but I´m sure that if the episode had had a second part we would have seen both sisters in jail forever and the key sleeping in the deep ocean.
Goren knew Hannah looked like the strong one but she was the weakest and only needed the right stimulus to confess and give her sister in. Sarah is released as a trick against Hannah and the father just plays along for a while, he doesn´t have the intentions of saving Sarah at all. That´s what I miss of the original Law&Order, in LOCI we only see until they get arrested, with the original show we could see the trial too and see the perps behind the bars.

I have trouble with this epi too. So much is left to speculate about, and I don't think Sarah's character was written well. The first time I saw it, I was disturbed by the impression that Sarah was an innocent, manipulated by her sister. I still get that impression, and I don't like it. Sarah commited murders, or at least some evil manipulations, and I wish the writers had delineated her role and punishment more clearly. The story ended with her apparant cavalier abandonment of her sister, a cold and emotionless act for a character so sympathetically portrayed.

I thought the father was in on the ploy by Carver and the detectives. His cooperation was needed to bail Sarah out and set the stage for Hannah's turning on her sister. I picture Sarah being led down the hall to another interrogation room to face new charges based on the "evidence" of Hannah's outburst. When confronted with what Hannah said, and with the father abruptly withdrawing any further legal aid, Sarah would be adrift and ripe for the picking to get a confession as to her part in the murders.

Exactly my take, Techguy. And I thought Goren's comment that Hannah gave up her sister but didn't meant that Hannah thought she and Sarah might wind up in jail together.

Double exactly Patcat. I commented on Hannah and Sarah's new "togetherness" back in the day on 4/23/06.

Okay. I feel better now. (My capacity for self-delusion is boundless.)

I am sorry if I gave the wrong impression about Mr Davenport. I did understand that he was part of the scheme. All I was saying, wondering, was how he would have responded to the thought of taking Sarah home. Especially after Hannah cried out, that it was Sarah's idea to call his daughter. Remember in "Suite Sorrow" when Julie lost it? I think it would be an honest reaction. As I recalled Davenport was helping Sarah with putting her sweater on. That would be very hard for any man or woman to do, even if they were part of the plan. I think Spainards says it best with: both sisters are twisted and selfish because in one way or the other both sacrifice the other sister for a new life with a new daddy. They are not an unbreakable couple, they just a temporary team.
