did she cuz after her lil malfunction with steve she ends up on the strecher bakk with that principle and then he saids somthin like lie to her parenst and tell them shes missing and then we hear a drilling sound and thats it we never see her again so did she die?
shareYea basically they went back in and either replaced her chip or put her in the hospital with Caldicott's daughter.

That part confused me too. If what appears in the movie is indeed the case, the chip is burned into the eye...so are they all blind in one eye??
And if so, how could Caldicott put a chip in her other eye?
When he said something about doing an optic-something, and the nurse seemed startled, was he saying he was going to blind her?!
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
Actually no, they weren't blinded in one eye. The implant seems to work by monitoring the subject's brain. When something goes off-kilter, it stimulates the optic nerve (that red glow). That light is a trigger to reinforce the programming, to remind the subject that this is wrong.
Unfortunately, the programming's biggest pitfall is that it's forcing a conflict in the person's mind, programming that enforces "perfect" behavior versus the person's true self. That conflict grows until it demands release. Hence, the violent outbursts. Sex is bad, but violence is not.
It does vary however. In Chug, the programming had him wound up so tight that he was not only violent, but twisted to the point where he sexually assaulted Rae and nearly raped her (she obviously told Steve about the incident when he came to her house and saw Gavin's video).
The procedures that the nurse and Caldicott were talking about had to do with the brain. She suggested a procedure that could calm the girl down and stabilize her. Caldicott, who sees Lorna and the others as nothing more than white mice, wants to do an even more invasive procedure and see what would happen. The end result could have been either her death or severe brain damage leaving her crippled for life like his daughter Betty and the Bishop Flats 11.
