The symbol looks kinda like an upside down fermata to me.
A fermata is a musical symbol that’s designed to hold a long pause between notes.
I don’t think it’s relevant, but that’s what it looks like anyway.

I might be overlooking some, so let me know if I miss any here:

Off hand I can think of one, the letter in P.Monkey that came with the money for Bree's escape was from Bree's mom (by the way we never learned what was in the letter, just one of the many loose ends).

In which video was it that they specified it was from her mom? I only remember "On The Run" saying it was from her parents (I assumed it to be from both of them).

I couldn't find where or if it was specified, you are right it may have been an assumption on my part, but in the process of searching I found that when Bree got in touch with her parents from Daniel's it was her mom who she spoke to and who told her to stay with Daniel, so maybe that is where the assumption came from.

So, apparently “Casarmi oali mapm sobam ag cormpo crpl, casarmg croodzi chis od vgeg, dst capimali chis capimaon: od lonshin chis ta lo cla”
means:
Under whom I have placed 9639 whom none yet hath numbered but one, in whom the second beginning of things are wax strong, which also successively are the number of time: and their powers are as the first 456.

I searched '9639 Crowley' and got this:

The Fourth Key

Otahil elasadi babaje, od dorepaha gohol: gi-cahisaje auauago coremepe peda, dasonuf vi-vau-di-vau? Casaremi oeli MEAPEME sobame agi coremepo carep-el: casaremeji caro-o-dazodi cahisa od vaugeji; dasata ca-pi-mali cahisa ca-pi-ma-on: od elonusahinu cahisa ta el-o CALAA. Torezodu nor-quasahi od fe-caosaga: Bagile zodir e-na-IAD: das iod apila! Do-o-a-ipe quo-A-AL, zodacare! Zodameranu obelisonugi resat-el aaf nor-mo-lapi!

The Fourth Key

I have set my fete in the sowth and have looked about me, saying, are not the Thunders of increase numbered 33 which reign in the Second Angle? under whom I have placed 9639 whom none hath yet numbered but one, in whom the second beginning of things are and wax strong, which also successively are the number of time: and their powers are as the first 456. Arise, you Sons of pleasure, and visit the earth: for I am the Lord your God which is, and liveth In the name of the Creator, Move and show yourselves as pleasant deliverers, That you may praise him amongst the sons of men.

I have no idea what this means, but it sure is interesting.

'Oh nothing really

[longlostposter]

Ha ha ha.

Crowley was insane.

[robtomorrow]

I liked the idea that the Hymn of One was somehow connected to Goethe's Faust, I've had it up to here with Crowley.

Could this be the search team that rescued BD&J from the desert?

Love Bree in this video.

[lonelygirl]

maybe bree is seeing the ways things were before through wiser eyes and realizing some of her perceptions of her folks had changed or never were that way in reality. perhaps she was in denial before.
but the story of how her parents met DID include a fiesty mom as i recall.
nice vid tho.
maybe the best acting by jessica so far.

i agree with this. i think where you are in your life will change your perspective of your folks. i'm sure her perspective of her mom has totally changed now after her dad got shot. If you listen to how she tells the story, it seems that she is telling her dad's side of things also and telling us what her dad told her before she died. So perhaps her parents lied to her before.

[Kanazaka]

I wouldn't say this is Bree's best acting so far, but it was very good. I didn't care for this video too much, though. Bree told us a lot that we already knew or suspected, and that which we didn't know wasn't too surprising. But it's good to have confirmation that Bree's mom wasn't always a fervent Order supporter, and to know the name of Bree's "religion". And overall the video was entertaining and informative, just not a standout in my opinion.

I'm too lazy to look through all of the posts to see if this has been already dealt with...
I googled "hymn of one" and came across this Wikipedia page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troparion
Apparently,
"A troparion in Byzantine music and religious music of Eastern Orthodoxy is a short hymn of one stanza, or one of a series of stanzas (this may carry the further connotation of a hymn interpolated between psalm verses)."
And that's not all...
"A troparion to the Mother of God (Theotokos) is called a theotokion."

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theotokos
"Theotokos is a title of Mary, the mother of Jesus."
Despite Bree's comment about her not being a Christian, perhaps the Hymn of One had some ties to Christianity and Jesus?
If there is a troparion (a hymn of one) dedicated to the Virgin Mary called a theotokion, then what other Christian ties could there be?
It also mentions several things linking a troparion and Theotokos to Eastern Orthodoxy. Notable?
If this has already been hashed through, please excuse me, and tell me if there is any notable details about this.
