This episode is part of "the Arc". edit »
The naming ceremony for baby Jacob was excerpted and reedited from "The Reckoning" and inserted at the end of this episode because CBS had canceled Beauty and the Beast and the last two episodes were not going to be shown but CBS changed its mind and brought back in June 1990 beginning with repeats from previous seasons ending with the remaining 3 episodes. edit »

Gabriel: If my son dies...
Doctor: He's getting stronger. i can't find any explanation.The boys fever is breaking. He's taking some formula. Maybe the illness has run it's course..or perhaps it could be some sort of spontaneous remission.

Gabriel: Catherine begged for mercy at the end, too.

Diana: Vincent! Your child is crying. There's not a lot of time. Please just hurry. Under the building. Father's waiting.
