Episode Quotes
Samuel Sullivan: This is my favorite part of the day. It's full of possibility. Before the inevitable monkey wrenches come looking for us. But more than anything... it's about being with all of you. I know grace is a supper thing, but every morning I thank Heaven and Earth for our family.

Dr. Madeline Gibson: Would you do me a favor and unlock these cuffs?
Captain Lubbock: No. I don't make a habit of locking myself in with unrestrained lunatics.
Dr. Madeline Gibson: Then can you leave me your keys on the way out?
