Trivia[]

  • The title refers to the possible death of Emma Hill, which was a sacrifice and the death of Mike Westons father, who was also a sacrifice.
    • However, the wife of Micah revealed that Emma was alive and that Joe would see her later. However, Joe and Mandy hadn't seen yet Emma after the conversation. She was confirmed to be alive in the next episode.
  • This marks the first time that a young child was involved in a crime.
