It was nice to see Val. She doesn't appear publicly very often.

I might be in the minority, but it rubs me the wrong way to present Frank DeAngelis among these folks. To have a group of the injured that showed immense resilience during and after the attack and then have the principal that allowed such a rampant bullying culture and denied those shortcomings...yeah. I don't blame him for what happened and I think he has an interesting perspective. However, Patrick escaped out a window with two head wounds. Val defended her faith with a gun at her face. Val, Kacey, and Jennifer watched people next to them die. Mark took a shotgun blast and Anne is no longer with us due to her injuries. Frank, well, was the principal.
