* ActorAllusion: In "Exposed," Darien opens an SWRB cell door expecting to free Hobbes and Alex, but instead frees a man that seems familiar to him. The man is played by Adam Storke, who co-starred with Vincent Ventresca on the short-lived series, ''Prey''. To play up this moment, before the first airing of "Exposed," the Sci-Fi Channel aired the series finale of ''Prey'', which ended with Storke's character (Tom Daniels) being locked in an actual cell. It is left to the viewer to decide if Storke is actually reprising (however briefly) his old role or not, however.
