"Lunch with Mr. Lear, whom Mr. Berlanti characterized as "most TV writers' hero," led to the story line in which Bobby encounters the declaration on a school trip to Philadelphia. Edit
- It is revealed that in March of 2042 President Bobby McCallister loses his 16 year-old son Henry, who died driving drunk by the force of his older brother John "Jack" McCallister (Justin Kirk). Edit
