Episode Notes[]

  • The flashbacks in the episode are connected to the flashbacks in the season 3 episode “The Devil's Share”, even though there is no chronologic order given. In “The Devil's ShareFinch states to his therapist "I've been thinking about doing something radical, as a tribute to [Nathan's] memory", while in this episode's flashbacks Finch comes after Alicia Corwin, blaming her for Nathan's death. Both flashbacks take place in 2010, after the ferry bombing.
