      When Larry breaks a pen and dumps the ink into the water on the floor of Charlie's office, he's not wearing a ring on either hand. When there's a close-up shot of his hand swirling the ink in the water, a gold ring has appeared on one of his fingers.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: I was talking about my application for the Talos Foundation research grant.

      Charlie Eppes: Why are you worried about that?

      Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: Because Ivan Tevorsky has taken over chairmanship of the grant committee.

      Charlie Eppes: You attacked his theory on polarization flux.

      Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: I merely pointed out certain characteristics of gravitational waves that he had chosen to ignore.

      Charlie Eppes: Larry, I was there when he gave that paper. You stood up, and you called him a big fat cheater in front of a roomful of people.

      Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: Well, no, now you're exaggerating. That room could not have been more than half full.

    Touching
    A young boy is at home when his whistleblower mother is gunned down as she answers the door. A big energy firm has cost thousands of people money and pensions through shady dealings. The dead woman knew things and went public. The boy ends up with Alan because there is no place for him at the moment. He develops a close relationship with Don. This was a more accessible episode some nice moments in the family.
