Bravo to Jessica and Yousef in this video!

The acting was really well done: I was caught off guard by how much their parting scene effected me. When Bree wailed "You can't just leave me" I actually teared up a little

As to the plot progression, I haven't really had to chance to let that sink in yet. I was just really moved by Bree and Daniel in this video

I'm not so sure I actually believe Bree is even at Jonas' place.

Once again, I have mixed emotions.
On one hand: YAY for moving the story along...even if it's in a squirrely direction. Finally having them off the streets and *doing* something is better than watching them do nothing.
On the other hand: If you had been someone's only lifeline for five weeks, would you juts walk out on them without knowing what situation you were throwing them into? Especially if you knew that person was a sheltered FEMALE (hate to sound sexist, but really now Daniel, that wasn't being a gentleman) who is "wanted" by an Order?? It just seems kind of odd for Daniel to go this far and not go the distance, KWIM?
And...Daniel doesn't even know where to find Bree, right? Since he didn't go meet Jonas, he couldn't go rescue Bree if he tried. And, he can't go to the cops now, either, since he was on the run with a minor.

If Jonas turns out to be "Brother" then Bree is safe (for now) and Daniel is the one in danger.

Also, had people decided the other way around (NOT to trust Jonas, and to stay on the street), I wonder if the Creators would have just had Bree left Daniel -- as opposed to the other way around.

THIS VIDEO MAKES NO SENSE, if Daniel was going back home, why wouldn't he make Bree go with him?!? He doesn't trust Jonas, so he is just gonna leave her with him?!? That makes no freakin sense!

SOMETHING IS WRONG

I am very very suspicious of Jonas now. We don't get to see any video of Bree after she meets up with Jonas and I am positive that Bree kept on filming after the point where she said "you can't just leave me." This leads me to believe that Jonas decided to cut out some stuff. Bree is in trouble... I hope that Daniel comes to his senses.

I think the result would have been exactly the same. Only the beginning of the video would have been different.
Kind of a "split decision" (Unnecessary Jonas boxing reference here)

I loved this video!

Something exciting is actually happening! Though I love seeing Daniel (He is my favorite!), I'm glad that he finally ditched the dead weight. Bree has constantly leaned on him. They are in the mess because of her life. Most of the time, she hasn't realized the gravity of the situation. Daniel is truly overworked and underpaid. LOL

As far as Bree not making a video showing the meeting and safe arrival, that's very interesting...great suspense. Theories will begin to pop up everywhere now, I'm sure.

I'm also interested in how Daniel will be reintegrated into the story line after a while.

Finally some action! Terrific!

It makes perfect sense. He can't (or should I say wouldn't) force Bree to go home with him. It was her desicion to make. He was not gonna bend on this issue so he left her.

Okay. Let's (to experiment) say Bree is not in the second half of the video b/c she isn't with Jonas. That means:

a) She has been taken away by the Order, since tomorrow (12-10) is the ceremony. Or she's been taken away b/c they want her, and the ceremony isn't really tomorrow.

b) They're doing it to throw the Order off their tracks. Now the Order can spend time tracking down Jonas' place, even though they aren't with him. Meanwhile, they can go to the house of Daniel's friend. (Or someplace else.)

c) Something I haven't thought of.

That said, I think Bree is actually staying with Jonas. But I just wanted to test the possibilities.

Outstanding video!!!!

There is certainly some plan cooked up here between Daniel and Bree. This action is out of character for Daniel; he has been a criminal in the past, but it isn't like him to just bail on Bree.

The suspense is killing me!!! I love it!!!

wait...wasn't it daniel's idea to have the test? why is it all of a sudden he doesn't want to meet Jonas? sounds weird to me...he decides to see what we say, supposedly the only other people he trusts, and then he doesn't even trust us...hmmm

I think it's interesting what a drastic change in opinion we saw in Daniel here from the last video. I wonder if he believed the people on the forum wouldn't trust Jonas in the first place, or if he just changed his mind later. Maybe Bree's eagerness to run straight to Jonas when he appeared set Daniel off? She was once again displaying that instant "Let me go lean on somebody" mentality, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's what it was.

Anyway, I think Daniel's disappearance is obviously a necessity for the time being given that Yousef won't be in the country for a little while. That means we won't get to see Daniel for at least two weeks and will have to put up with Jonas until he gets back (that'll be darn near unbearable, but I understand that Yousef's got a trip to make, and I for one won't hold that against him).

Great acting from Jessica and Yousef here, by the way. Really pleased with that. The emotions seemed genuine even if we don't know where all of them came from.

Anyway, on to Jonas... don't trust the guy still. Why the heck don't we see more of Bree after Daniel began to walk away? For all we know, there was more conversation between the two of them and Jonas just edited that out.

I think we shouldn't make any hasty judgments on this video right now. Jonas was the one editing, after all, so he could easily have omitted something important (such as whether Daniel had more reason to be pissed off, or if he and Bree said anything else to each other before he left).

Well, I'll be looking forward to Daniel's heroic return (and his subsequent annihilation of Jonas).

Interesting possibility. For some reason I don't think that's the way they're going with it, though.

GASP!
really good acting on jessica's part! i can't believe daniel left!!!
YAY ACTION! BOOOOM

haha woah hyper up there.
still don't know if jonas is bad or not... he may just be pretending to want daniel there to make us think that he's good... or maybe he really does want him there because the order wants him! (pics on lucy's computer)
eh?

i really liked this video. yep, BOOM action

edit: since Jonas edited the video, who knows what he edited out??? BREE COULD BE DEAD!
