Episode Notes[]
- This was the first time that the tables have turned, and our heroes' plans unravel and they are discovered by the mark.
- This episode includes an overhead shot of the five team members, then shows Eliot walking away after losing his patience with the rest.
Trivia[]
- The team uses succinylcholine to temporarily make another fighter appear dead. While they are correct that it is a fast acting paralytic with a short duration, it is not mild at all. It would also paralyze the diaphragm, meaning the victim would not be able to breathe. Even if this scene only covered a few minutes, this would be enough time to cause noticeable brain damage due to lack of oxygen.
