Factual errors: Charlie talks about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, from which the episode title is derived, but confuses it with the Observer Effect, which the episode really is about and should have been titled after. The uncertainty principle deals with measurement, and not observation. moreFAQ

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
In the second episode of 'Numbers', Charlie is recruited again by Don to helps him in the mystery of which bank will be the next victim of a band of bank robbers known as 'Charmers'.
Charlie has success in finding the bank, but when Don and his team has a deadly battle with the bank robbers, in which civilians and agents where hit or killed, Charlie decides to drop the case to focus in complicated and impossible mathematical problems.
The reason why he did this, is explained later in the episode to be his fear of losing his brother, since he doesn't want to put anyone in danger. (Charlie has problems in showing his emotions and concerns for people he loves or likes.)
