Goof: About 11 minutes in, Colby tells the company CEO "All of the passenger bodies have been moved to the LA cororners office." Then several minutes later (at about 17 minutes into the episode), he says, "I just want to know what's so valuable that someone's willing to crash a plane and kill six people in order to get it" and looks sadly over at the six bodies still covered with white sheets at the crash site. edit »

Episode Title:
An allusion to the first woman in Greek mythology. The great god Zeus ordered her made as part of mankind's punishment for Prometheus' theft of fire. According to Greek mythology, she opened a box containing all the evils of mankind: greed, vanity, slander, lying, envy and pining. As she went to close the box to try and mitigate the damage she had done, she managed to keep in the last 'evil'- hope. edit »
