I have some oh-so-urgent questions.

I sacrificed a few neurons to early death and watched this filmstrip/slideshow from the Tom Trails series:
http://www.tomtrails.com/chapter15.htm

WTF? The boy/boyfriend in the morality tale is mortified that Lily died before he could ask her for forgiveness.

And even before she dies, we see the boyfriend, head in hands, being extremely worried about how to ask for forgiveness -- we see this several times.

But at the beginning of the show, the only "sin" we see the dude commit is looking at Lily, who is fully clothed, through a store window. Is this the sin for which he needs to suffer? Or are we to understand that "staring" is code for masturbation?

Later, we find out that Tom the Boyfriend may have refused physical affection to Lily. He was a "wait for marriage" kind of guy. Lily wrote in her diary that she realized he was right, and that she forgives him.

Serves the slutty girl right that she died in a car wreck, with her prom dress all wrapped up in a nice package next to her just for extra melodrama, right?

What is the moral? Girls who are sexual will die? The boyfriend saved Lily's purity so she could pop up to see Heavenly Father?

Lily's funeral is shown in full, complete with songs. The conclusion is that, because Lily was still pure when she died (thank goodness for that timely car wreck, otherwise we don't know how long Tom could have held out), because she was pure when she died, she went to heaven. So, really, she's still alive. Lily lives!

And now Lily's mother and Tom are good friends.

What is the antidote? I need it ... quickly.
