* {{Foreshadowing}}: The policeman who brings O'Brien in to the Tigans objects to the idea that Morica Bilby was killed by the Orion Syndicate, citing their code meaning they have to do what they can to look after their operatives and their families. This is played off as the words of a cop who is either corrupt or scared of the Orion Syndicate during the scene. [[spoiler: Turns out he's right. Norvo went to Morica to try to reason with her and when that didn't work, he killed her and dumped her in the river.]]
