Notes[]
On two occasions, the name of the next episode was mentioned by a character:
- "So if you're like me - and we both know you are - you designed the machine so that a catastrophic crash puts it into a remote debugging protocol, a God mode that gives the admin full access to all of its data."
- “Death Benefit”, by Virgil
- "You're just in time for the ribbon cutting. Feeds are coming online now. Commencing beta test."
