Meanwhile, Christine is confronted over her connection to Trinity.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.11 million household viewers and gained a 1.1/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, becoming the most watched episode of the series by then, as well as the first one to cross 2 million viewers.
