  Episode Notes  
This episode ran as the season finale in Canada (Apr 15, 2007), but in the US it was the third to last episode (April 1, 2007).
 
In this episode Morningway introduces Bob as Hrothbert of Bainbridge.
 
Look closely at the scene where Harry storms into the morgue. Behind the lid of Morningway's coffin is Jim Butcher, Harry's creator!
 
  Episode Quotes  
(Bob reveals himself to Harry for the first time)
Young Harry: Uh... is he a genie?
Bob: I'm not a genie, I'm a sorceror.
Morningway: Former sorceror. His soul was damned for eternity, trapped inside his own skull.
Young Harry: (To Morningway) What did he do?
Bob: I can hear you.
Young Harry: He's cranky.
Morningway: Yes he is, and very smart. You'll learn a lot from him.
 
Harry: (holding Bob in his arms) It's okay Bob, it's okay. You're gonna be okay.
Bob: (weakly) If by 'okay' you mean dead, then yes.
Harry: Please don't die on me Bob.
(Harry cries as Bob grows limp in his arms. Bob's body disappears and reappears across the room.)
Bob: That is really touching.
Harry: Bob that's not fair. You knew...
Bob: Once cursed, always cursed. My soul forever ensnared forbidden to move on.
Harry: Well I guess I can live with that.
Bob: Yes I thought you might.
 
Harry: How's Bob?
Morningway: As you know, cranky.
Harry: Still?
Morningway: Eternally.
