* GuileHero: Mac proves why Murdoc brought him along when Cassian apparently being rescued by his mother isn't good enough. Mac spots a security camera at a bank across the street, so he and Murdoc check the footage via Murdoc threatening the bank teller at gunpoint. On their way out, they get the teller to pull the silent alarm so they can steal a cop car and use the radio to run Amber's car and track her down. Murdoc is impressed, leading to the page quote.

* PapaWolf: The whole episode is about Murdoc moving Heaven and earth to rescue his kidnapped son. In the end, it's only for Cassian's sake that he doesn't kill Amber when he finds out the whole thing was arranged by her to extort money from him, and he even submits to arrest in exchange for his son being placed with a good foster family.

'''Murdoc:''' It was a chilly evening in Moscow. The sunset sparkled off the spires of Saint Basil's Cathedral. As I peered through the scope on my M40 sniper rifle, I spied a glint of gunmetal on the adjacent rooftop. And there she was, a vision in tactical body armor, aiming at my mark. She was trying to snake my hit! We both fired at the same time. Our slugs hit simultaneously. Afterward, we couldn't agree on whose kill it was, so, you know, we decided to split the money and a bottle of vodka.
