- TriviaAll entries contain spoilers
- GoofsWhen Henry is doing the autopsy on the heretofore unknown body, he states that "she has been exposed to an intense dose of radiation" implying that he knows that the body is female, and what happened. In the very next scene, Carter says that they can rebuild their John Doe on a cellular level implying that they don't yet know that the body is female. That is because Henry knows who the body is and no one else does.

Marshall Jack Carter: What's the matter, Jo, scared of a little transdimensional radiation?
Deputy Jo Lupo: Ya
Featured review
The worst time travel plot I think I've ever seen
Time travel features heavily in this episode that takes place 4 years in the future. It is not handled well at all.
The overall plot is the idea of the butterfly effect. Change an event, and it will have significant changes on the future. Unfortunately, that's not what we actually get. What we actually get is just one version of the future, and then that future is suddenly falling apart for...reasons.
The end of the episode features a cardinal sin of time travel. Someone dies. A second person goes back in time to stop the death. A third person goes back in time to stop the second person and restore the original timeline. However, with that timeline restored, there is no reason why the second person wouldn't simply start the process again.
The version of the future that we see ships the current relationships that are being hinted at as the ones we end up with. It's another time the writers make a nice tidy bow of a plot, which only serves to make the world seem small. It would make more sense for some of those relationships to have been nonstarters or been broken up along the way, than for all of them to work out.
I wanted to see what the next season had to offer, and so I forced myself to watch this episode. In previous episodes, I've at least enjoyed the A plot for the first two acts. There was not a single redeeming point in this episode.
