Re-Hash/Pre-Hash[]

  • A send-up is given to all the fans who predicted the connection between Miles and Dr. Pierre Chang.
    • When asked about having fan theories foil plot-lines, the writers do not alter the outcome but do have a fun time in making the stories more exciting based on that knowledge.
  • (Joking) The original title for this episode was, 'That Douche Is My Dad.'
  • The next (14th) episode is title is "The Variable".
  • This could be considered the sister episode to "The Constant".
