- Fridge Horror: Jacobs is the second doctor we've seen (after Dr. Rosen) who uses stims to push himself at his job (though in his case it's to avoid being caught while sleeping rather than working too hard). Either one alone could be a Call-Forward to Franklin's own problem, but all three treating what are basically amphetamines as self medication suggests stim abuse is epidemic or even considered normal among human doctors. In fact, it is considered normal. When Garibaldi first tries to ask Stephen about his stim use, Stephen replies that there's no danger and their use is perfectly legal and acceptable within moderated limits. The problem comes when people like Dr. Rosen and Dr. Franklin go beyond those limits, which is apparently entirely too easy to do.
