* RunningGag: The running theme of the first episode seems to be Not-Asking-For-A-Name: first, Ethan forgets to ask his groupie's name after telling her he'll never forget her, then Vanessa chooses not to tell him hers at their first meeting, and he only learns Malcolm's from his visit card. Finally, Victor is only only ever addressed as "Doctor" until the very last line of the episode, where he reveals his name to the body he has reanimated.

The autopsy reveals hieroglyphs etched beneath its skin, which are later found to be from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
