1. This episode, one of the "no one sees it but me" plotlines present in a few other RMT shows, seems to waver between some type of soap opera (partially told in the first person) and "Independence day".

2. There's something that happens in the third act of this episode I can't remember ever hearing in any other RMT.

3. Strange thing...this almost sounds like Ian Martin (the scriptwriter, who penned some dandies) was influenced a bit by Elspeth Eric on this one. It verges between slightly annoying to creepy.
