I recently watched it too. I thought it was a pretty awesome way to end a first season, either as a promise of things to come or the coda it would have been if the show had been cancelled.

I agree that I liked Topher for really the first time in this episode and would so appreciate the Adele/Topher. Crazy!Topher, that is.

I agree, more Alpha is exciting. In short, what you said.

(The unaired pilot, however, I didn't like so much. The opening was good, but I preferred the slow reveals we got this season.)
