Summary

Opening Monologue

"Trust between friends is a fragile gift built upon a mercurial foundation of instinct, sentiment, and hope. Yet without it, life becomes bitter and barren. To challenge such a frail bond is a worrisome thing. Though trust can grow stronger when tested, the real question is, can it survive the test?"

Continuity

Goliath dismisses the idea that Thailog is the one framing him, due to being trapped in stone sleep as of the ending of "Genesis Undone".

Discontinuity

In a discussion between Goliath and Elisa, it's mentioned that Anton Sevarius is in jail even though his last appearance in "Genesis Undone" doesn't show him to be committing any public crimes.

Tidbits

Many viewers thought that Elisa's character design in this episode looked astonishingly similar to that of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin. Greg Weisman also noted the similarities, writing that the "Aladdin-style animation on that Proteus episode really bugged me. Like a different series." [1] Ten years after the episode aired, Elisa would dress up as Jasmine for the Halloween costume party at the Eyrie Building. ("Masque", "Bash")
