• ADAM RAISED A CAIN

In the summer that I was baptized my father held me to his side
As they put me to the water he said how on that day I cried
We were prisoners of love a love in chains
He was standin in the door I was standin in the rain
With the same hot blood burning in our veins
Adam raised a Cain
All of the old faces ask you why you’re back
They fit you with position and the keys to your daddy's Cadillac
In the darkness of your room your mother calls you by your true name
You remember the faces the places the names
You know its never over its relentless as the rain
Adam raised a Cain
In the Bible Cain slew Abel and east of eden he was cast
You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain
Now he walks these empty rooms looking for something to blame
You inherit the sins you inherit the flames
Adam raised a Cain
Lost but not forgotten from the dark heart of a dream
Adam raised a Cain

• Another bookends episode: starts at the indingent graveyard with Kyle's grave, and ends at the graveyard of Kyle and brother Derek. James Ellison's Executive Producers credits overlay were bookended from Season 1 where we saw the LAPD officer plainly but not Ellison. This episode we saw Ellison plainly but not the LAPD officer.
  
  
• Executive Producers Credits were overlaid plainly on James Ellison with side view of LAPD officer. We think we know and CW thinks she knows what Ellison is about. At the end of the episode we see the LAPD planned a trap around Ellison to capture Sarah.
