A very good episode, IMO. The stuff with Aidan and Rebecca and the boy was well done (though kind of predictable). The Josh and Nora stuff is an interesting take on relationship issues. And Sally's ghost friend reliving his death was unexpected and creative.

Anyone know how this show is doing ratings-wise? What are its prospects for renewal?

It's getting about 1.5M viewers a week and 0.5 in the demos. I haven't read anything about the prospects of a 2nd season. That probably won't be decided until the season finishes.

it may have been predictable, I thought it was far more dramatic than the UK storyline.

Why didn't Aidan go all vamp when he saw all the blood from the car accident? I'm enjoying the show, but some of the writing is a bit lazy. I'm sure the death of a child in the neighborhood would have been big news. How does no one recognize him only days after his death playing in the park?

I do have to give them some props for having the balls to kill 3 children in one episode...and one of them twice.

I agree. I liked the US take more than the UK storyline.

Loved Aidan's storyline, another solid episode. Were the dead kids the bullies? If so, how did Marcus know which kids to kill?

Yup, renewed for a 2nd season.

I knew this was pretty much a lock to get renewed. The ratings have been consistent each week and it's not an expensive special effects driven show like SGU or Caprica.

I read about the renewal earlier on deadline.com. I'm glad this got renewed. It hasn't been extremely great but it has been improving slowly in the past few episodes.
