* ChekhovsLecture: Archer expounds at length on "spaghettification," the effect where objects and people drawn into a black hole are stretched into noodles as they go in, which he appears to have read up on out of sheer terror of it happening to him. This ends up happening to Mr. Deadly as he's sucked into Krieger's singularity grenade.


Added DiffLines:

* HopeSpot: Mr. Deadly's trigger phrase appears to do nothing once it's inevitably spoken, and he presumes that Lana's self-sacrifice has showed him how to grow beyond his programming as a sentient weapon. Turns out there's just a slight delay.
