Ooh, even though there are no aliens (yet?), this place sure feel alien to me. Zeke was right about wanting to avoid this, it's totally creepy, especially Gabe being all cool with their coupledom. Poor Casey didn't get his outrage factor and all the jerks that made Casey's life so hard are all smug and condescending. This is a very interesting background for both of them, Zeke with his semi-detached life, Casey with all his unresolved issues. And poor Stokes! What caused her fall, I wonder? *is intrigued*
