Episode 2 "Vade Retro"
 

 

 

 

"Vade Retro : Part One" picking up where the pilot left off, Detective Chase Quinn (Danielle Kellermann) begins her investigation into the murder of Melissa Weller (Shaine Carney). However, the discovery of strange markings on the girl's body and a chance encounter with a ghost from her past, unearth painful memories and hint at a troubling connection between Melisa and the events in San Jose.

Episode Notes : This marks the first episode in which Paul Ezzy takes over as Series Director of Photography. Joey Pelletier joins the cast as Detective James O'Riley, after being mentioned briefly in the pilot.

Trivia : The tattoo that appears on Melissa's leg isn't trick photography. It's a simple visual gag familiar to many college students. The tattoo was painted on the actress with laundry detergent that reacts when the black light is passed over it.

The whispers make a return appearance when Robin and Chase are arguing in his office. Robin previously heard these mysterious voices before his encounter with Mattie.

   

"Vade Retro: Part Two" Follwing her encounter with Robin Quick, Chase confesses to Roland about her encounter in the parking garage, and offers some more insight into James Prescott. When Roland decides to pay a visit to Mattie Howard, Chase pays her respects to Melissa's mother, Deborah (Laureen Evans) and makes a startling discovery.

Episode Trivia: The scene in front of the statues was almost ruined when a sudden and inexplicably heavy blizzard dumped several inches of snow on the scene in a matter of minutes.

At the memorial service for Melissa, Xander briefly references the events of Hence These Tears.

The business card chase finds in Melissa's room was actually a blank card on the day of filming, as the logo had not yet been completed. The card, as it appears in Episode 2 and 3 was created in post using CGI.

Fans of the show Hence These Tears may recognize the owner of the business card.

The former Abbey Lounge bar was located on the town line between Cambridge and Somerville, MA. A fact that is alluded to during their conversation. As an in-joke, the scene was blocked in such a way that Robin is technically sitting on the Cambridge side of the bar, with Alexander seated in Somerville.
