* '''Plotted A Good Waste:''' The writers never intended to resolve the thread in the first place; Debora's father and his MyCountryRightOrWrong philosophy existed to introduce the idea that not everyone in TheEmpire was evil and foreshadow other plot elements, such as Bob having a HeroicBSOD after being forced to [[ShootTheDog hurt innocent citizens of the empire while defeating a]] VillainWithGoodPublicity. The exact question of what happened to Debora and her father after TheEmpire's defeat was LeftHanging so the audience would think about the ramifications of the heroes' actions.
