Episode Quotes
James: Not a sign of the blast.
Artemus: All right, how does that fit into your theory?
James: I'm through apologizing for what it does to logic. It's almost... like this house had the knack, the ability to renew itself.
Artemus: How do you go about handling a house that treats you like an enemy?
James: I don't know. Maybe the answer is to treat it like a friend and not like an enemy.

Artemus: Caroline. Caroline Day, listen. Your son is insane. Maybe right from the start. You've wasted your love on a madman, Caroline.



Episode Goofs
When Jim tries to blast open the window shutter with a mini grenade, the initial damage is much less in the first shot than it is in the second.
