Synopsis

Serah Riley's life after her attempt to rescue Dylan is specified in Home Fires (2x08).
Hohne appears also in Into the Labyrinth (2x09) and Through A Glass Darkly (5x11).

In Classical Greek, Lethe literally means "forgetfulness" or "concealment". The Greek word for "truth" is a-lethe-ia (αλήθεια), meaning "un-forgetfulness" or "un-concealment". In Greek mythology, Lethe is one of the several rivers of Hades. Drinking from the river Lethe ("forgetfulness" or "oblivion") caused complete forgetfulness. Some ancient Greeks believed that souls were made to drink from the river before being reincarnated, so they would not remember their past lives. (Wikipedia)

This episode was written for "Star Trek: Voyager" (with Tuvok interacting with his wife)
Dr. Sarah Riley's actress (Saam Sorbo) is Kevin Sorbo's wife.
Originally the episode was planned to be aired later so that the viewers would know Dylan Hunt better (to maximise the emotional compact).
