The Connors investigate the company town that supported the
drone factory recently destroyed.
Henry Douglas, Jr.
Dr. Sherman (mentioned only, deceased)
Didja Notice?
As the episode opens, Sarah, John, and Derek listen to the radio in
her truck and a news reporter talks about the destruction of
Desert Canyon Heat and Air "earlier this week". Catherine
Weaver killed all the employees there and blew up the
building afterwards in the previous episode,
"The Good Wound".
The reporter mentions the destroyed business was near the
desert town of Charm Acres. This is a fictitious town.
At 1:42 on the Blu-ray, Renny's Sporting Goods and Cold
Swirls are two stores seen in the background in Charm Acres.
These are fictitious businesses.
Cameron remarks that Native Americans believe that if their
photograph is taken, it steals their soul. This was/is true
only of some Native American tribes, certainly not all.
Zeira Corp investigator Edward Walsh appears again here for
the first time since
"Samson & Delilah".
Diana Winston mentions the old movies Casablanca,
Out of the Past, and His Girl Friday.
These are actual films from the years 1942, 1947, and 1940,
respectively.
This episode reveals that
Desert Canyon Heat and Air's parent company was the Kaliba
Group. This is a fictitious company that continues to play
an important role in the subsequent episodes.
The big rig truck with CA license plate 9Q49901 seen at
13:42 on the Blu-ray is a
Peterbilt 377. The vehicle with CA license plate 2SAQ321
following it is a 1998
Lincoln
Town Car modified into a funeral coach; the license plate
was previously seen on other vehicles in both
"Gnothi Seauton" and
"Alpine Fields" and appears
again in "Ourselves Alone". The
procession escort cycle seen seconds later is a
Harley-Davidson FLHP Road King Police special.
Walsh's vehicle with a flat tire is a
Dodge
something-or-other. Presumably, Derek punctured the tire so
that he could offer Walsh a ride in the procession, having
sensed something suspicious about him.
Walsh gives Derek the cover story that he's an OSHA
investigator. OSHA is the
Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, a U.S. federal agency
that ensures safe and healthy working conditions in private
industry.
Derek notices the police ring Walsh still wears on his left
hand and Walsh tells him he used to be with
Baltimore PD,
4th Precinct, Pikesville.
Pikesville is a town in Baltimore County, Maryland.
Possibly, the reference to Baltimore PD is a reference to
the 1993-1999 TV series Homicide: Life on the Street,
in which the actor who plays Walsh played a Baltimore cop
for several seasons.
The limousine seen at 17:06 on the Blu-ray is a
Cadillac
DTS.
Zoe suggests to Henry that they skip the funeral and just
keep driving to the
Grand
Canyon.
Zoe tells John that her former boyfriend, Mike Thompson,
liked watching Monty Python and playing lacrosse.
Monty Python was a British comedy troupe, first on
television, then branching out into films, books, music, and
touring shows. As far as lacrosse, we see that Sarah found
some lacrosse equipment and a trophy in Ed Winston's storage
unit along with bloody clothing, suggesting that Ed had
killed Mike as an employee of the secret drone manufacturing
facility near Charm Acres.
The car Henry drives is a 2009
Chevrolet Traverse, with license plate 3PCI499 (which
has appeared on several other cars in previous episodes!).
The car that almost rams into the back of it when Henry
slams on the brakes in anger over Cameron's remark that Zoe
doesn't love him the way he loves her, is a 2008
Buick
LaCrosse.
When Cameron begins making pronouncements about the dead
cattle found near Charm Acres, Zoe asks her if she's Doctor
Quinn, Medicine Woman.
Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman was a 1993-1998 TV
series about a Boston doctor in the American Old West.
The hymn sung at the funeral is "In the Sweet By-and-By",
written by S. Fillmore Bennett in 1868.
Why do Derek and Walsh arrive at the funeral at essentially
the same time when Walsh got out of Derek's truck earlier to
walk the rest of the way when he sensed something off about
Derek's conversation? Did Derek sit in the truck at the
cemetery waiting for Walsh to arrive in order to follow him?
A
Nissan Altima is seen parked at 23:31 on the Blu-ray.
Ellison mentions to Weaver that his father died not to so
long ago and that they had not really gotten along with each
other.
Sarah holds her
Glock 17
pistol while exploring the empty house where she finds the
hidden passage to an underground room.
In this episode, Derek implies that human turncoats
monitored and administered the prisoners in Skynet work
camps. This was also the case in Timeline JD-4 in
The Future War.
The car with CA license plate 5XSL942 seen parked along the
curb at 38:05 on the Blu-ray is a
Volkswagen New Beetle.
At 38:08 on the Blu-ray, Savannah is coloring is what
appears to be a Disney coloring book of some kind. The image
seen here appears to be of Snow White from Disney's 1937
animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The big rig seen at 42:26 on the Blu-ray is a
Freightliner. It has the same license plate as the
Peterbilt seen earlier at 13:42, but is definitely a
different truck! |
