S1E08 - The Equation

  • Peter (in "The Equation"):
    "The best lie - the one that's easiest to remember with consistency - is the one that's based on the truth. Whenever I would do this, I would base it on my own last name. Bishop. So Peter King. Peter Knight."

    Peter stayed under false names related to Bishop (Stewart) and Gene (Gene Cowan) in "Northwest Passage", like the villain did in "The Equation".

S2E10 - Grey Matters

  • In "Northwest Passage" Peter said that the bad guys removing brain parts was like a case he previously worked, the case in "Grey Matters".
