Notes & Trivia

 * This is the first episode of Being Human of 2013.


 * This is the third episode of Being Human direcrted by Stefan Pleszczynski. He previously directed "Mama Said There'd Be Decades Like These" and "The Ties That Bind".


 * The opening scene with Aidan, Josh and Sally in the kitchen, all seemingly happy and healthy, takes place fifteen months after the events after the events of "It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To". The flashback scenes take place immediately after the events from that episode, while the main story takes place a little more than a year after the season two finale.


 * The title to this episode is a bit of a spoiler in regards to the end of "It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To". In that episode, Nora, Josh and Ray all square off and the screen goes black and then you hear the gunshot. While it is fairly obvious that Ray is going to be the one to die, this episode title really does cement that fact before the viewer actually gets to see it.


 * Death of Ray.


 * Mother is revealed to have died some time between season two and three as a result of the virus.


 * Atlee returns after having barely survived being hunted by the werewolves in "It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To".
