    • Goofs
      In his confrontation with Cunanan, Jeffrey Trail references his time as "a soldier". Trail served in the Navy and so was a sailor, not a soldier.

    Better than the Previous Episode
    The story of Jeff Trail's Navy troubles for his homosexuality is a bit melodramatic and plodding but he's a better cast fit than Cody Fern, far too young as David: both manipulated by Andrew, who takes more of a backseat in this episode than any other.
