"Famous Last Words" is the fourth episode of the first season of ''Series/SirensUS''.

After losing a patient who was the spitting image of Johnny's dad, Hank insists that Johnny (who claims to feel absolutely nothing for his father anymore) deal with the issues surrounding his dad's abandonment of him. He goes to get his number from his mom and finds Theresa there as well, who has it out of fear that if their relationship didn't work out because of Johnny's commitment issues, either one of them might want to find him and get answers. After a short fight, his dad reveals that it was actually his mom who kicked his dad out, and that his dad didn't meet his second wife until afterward.

Meanwhile, Brian insists on following up on the patient's last words, which he believes were "Tell Christina I love her". After discovering that the Christina in question is not his wife, Brian attempts to find her, despite Hank's warnings, who goes with Brian anyway, believing that this will all blow up in his face. After finding Christina, they discover that she's a lesbian and that the patient had been stalking her. After revealing he's dead, she and her wife celebrate.
