Trivia
This episode marks the culmination of operation "Cobalt". Adams admitted in the episode Cobalt (2015) that the operation was to commence at 9:00 the following day. This implies that only a few hours had passed between the ending of The Good Man (2015) and the beginning of this episode.

Goofs
Despite the yacht having a southward bearing (Los Angeles to San Diego), the coastline is shown to be on the starboard side, indicating a northward bearing.

Quotes
[from trailer]
Alicia Clark: To kill the monster, you become the monster. You stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back. It is alive... It is hungry... And it devours.

Fear the terrible cast!

I believe this to be the best episode so far, but that being said I have rated this a 4 star so it doesn't hold much hope for the series in my eyes.

The most irritating thing about this show are the 3 kids, the drug addict being the least annoying appears to be constantly trying to act cool for someone. Who? I do not know. The daughter seems to be more interested in getting another boyfriend by chatting up guys on the radio and being a child complaining about her bedtime then her survival. Last and definitely least is the other kid, I can understand he is going through some loss at the moment but this is the end of the world so maybe man up for gods sake and stop being a pain in the arse.

The two parents were just about bearable in this episode as they didn't say much other than "they need our help" so I will complain about them when they have a few more lines.
