Notes[]
- The prologue mentions Tony Carozza, the jock turned mechanic appearing in the Pilot, but calls him Steve Bacic (the name of the actor who played him).
- Sam Phelan is wrongfully called "Sam Fallon."
Continuity[]
This book takes place sometime after Insurgence, but before Suspect as Martha is still under Lionel's employ and the story makes mention of Clark burning the files pertaining to him in Lionel's vault. This fits in with the fact that the episode Insurgence shows Martha printing out her resignation letter, while also having Jonathan Kent suggesting she delay her exit, an action that Martha seems to have decided to take in the book.
