> There was a believable scene in which one kid bullied another into taking an almost certainly fatal jump into the quarry, and was only saved by paranormal means.

I watched it last night so it's fresh in my mind. It was paranormal events that setup this scene and made the bully go to such extremes to begin with.

It was also one of the worst, least believable scenes in the series. The fact that he was so willing to jump, the threats the bully was giving, etc. It was just weak writing in an attempt to create a dramatic reunion. When your 11 years old it takes some time to build up the courage to make a safe jump from something like a bridge, let alone a possible fatal jump.

It was believable to me because they had shown adults talking about people that had bragged to have jumped from there. I remember as a kid thinking that everything others bragged about was true and I was just lame. I totally see him thinking it would be no more dangerous than jumping from a bridge, just a bit scarier.
