Pre-Air-Date Speculation
Based on the timing, "Getaway" may involve Chaz Villette's LiveJournal deletion and subsequent undeletion.

Emma Bull confirmed that "Getaway" "has a soundtrack." 

Elizabeth Bear commented that the Desiree Greene episode "does get mentioned." 

"Getaway" did not have a teaser posted on the Shadow Unit home page, although Bull did provide one line ("Every day, he saw the skull under the schoolyard fence.") in response to a fan's plea. Bear's theory was "that the trailer as submitted was so racy the network wouldn't air it."
