Trivia
Jill and Tom Garvey greet each other in the diner by saying "Looking good, Billy Ray!" followed by "Feeling good, Louis!" These are the last lines of Trading Places (1983) between the characters of Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.

Goofs
SPOLER: During the adoption interview, Nora tells the case worker that the baby's name is Lily with one "L". This is an incorrect way to describe the spelling. It would be better to say "2 L's, not 3".

A blur...

The Leftovers has never moved the plot this quickly, it's a bit off putting to be honest. None of the main characters have ever been this happy either, aside of Kevin losing his mind, which makes me very worried for all of them. The showrunners basically summed up any messy plots they didn't want to dive into and moved, some of, the characters to a new locale. This episode basically moves about as quickly through the plot as 4-5 season 1 episodes. A Matter of Geography isn't a bad episode, It's just all a bit overwhelming.
