EPISODE CONNECTIONS

S1E08 - The Equation

  • Peter (in "The Equation"):
    "The best lie - the one that's easiest to remember with consistency - is the one that's based on the truth. Whenever I would do this, I would base it on my own last name. Bishop. So Peter King. Peter Knight."

    Peter stayed under false names related to Bishop (Stewart) and Gene (Gene Cowan) in "Northwest Passage", like the villain did in "The Equation".
