This episode uses flashback scenes to create a prelude to John's final acts. The viewer sees John's last minutes of life, his detailed planning, and the situation that brought him to suicide. At the same time, it creates further questions to be resolved later.
The other characters, John's friends, deal with crises of their own, existential and otherwise. It is a tumultuous time for this small band of friends.
In an unrelated area, Rome makes a pitch for an ad that is recognizable, because it is an actual commercial on television. And that segment of the program is followed by the actual commercial. It's advanced product placement, but also a surprising element that is humorous due to its unexpectedness.
About the ad: "This work rips back the curtain on the love that people have for Hidden Valley Ranch in a way that is bold, provocative and, I think, damn funny." said Kurt Fries, chief creative officer of the Chicago office of McGarryBowen (the ad agency).
