Where in the heck did Laurie's BFF suddenly come from...


To whack Alan on the head from behind when Laurie drove up to meet him alone? And since my DVR cut off the last 2 mins as Floyd ( Eric Roberts ) was hopping towards Laurie wondered if Alan resurfaces at the end as seems to be the case in so many of these Lifetime movies ;)

The ending was very stupid, but on par for a Lifetime "female in jeopardy" movie.

Laurie had the ninja skills to sneak up behind Alan (her BFF was disguised as Laurie) and then whack him in the head with a tire iron. That of course was only a minor injury, and he was up and around almost instantly. Laurie to her credit put a round into his shoulder, and then left the BFF with the gun on him. He tricked the BFF by pretending to pass out, and then snatched the gun and knocked her out- but of course did not kill her.

Laurie meanwhile has revived her niece just in time for Alan to arrive and give them a speech at gunpoint that rivaled a politician's campaign speech for length. Instead of shooting them, he is going to make them dig their own graves. BFF shows back up and gives Alan another solid whack in the head with the tire iron. It barely slows him, and then he and Laurie are fighting over the gun. Despite Alan being a muscular much larger man, Laurie is now Mary Sue* and during the struggle the gun goes off. Alan is shot and finally dead- unless they make a sequel.
