      Storyline

      • Trivia
        The conversation at the end of the episode about who dies in which plan references the pilot, in which Nate says "Hardison dies in Plan M."
      • Goofs
        In Nate's next to last game, he moves the chess pieces with one hand, and pushes the button on the clock with the other. This is not allowed. You have to push the button with the same hand that moves the piece. In the real world Nate could have forfeited the game doing that.
      • Quotes

        Sophie Devereaux: So the salt was Plan B?

        Nathan Ford: Plan M actually.

        Alec Hardison: Don't I die in plan M?

        Nathan Ford: Yeah, usually. Yeah.

        Alec Hardison: What you mean, "usually"? How many plans do I die in?

        Nathan Ford: C, F, and M through Q.
