Lets all love Lain
I thought they were going the route of hooking those two up in some shitty, contrived new romance to "spice up" the show. Thankfully no.
The two most underdeveloped characters in the show were the sole subjects to the most character-building episode of the series so far, IMO. Everything about it worked; the atmosphere, the setting, the music, the blood-splatter, the Washington foreshadowing, the reminiscing, the drunken outburst, the catharsis. Cletus and Diane probably aren't happy that there wasn't more blood and shooting, and that their family sugar shack was burned to the ground, but goddamn did the episode do right by the characters.
