Reality Check

The title of this episode refers to the famous unfinished symphony by composer Franz Schubert. Max later mentions this in Episode #108 "Shock It To Me" when he says that the best use of Dr. Zharko's technique of bringing the dead back to life would be to bring back Schubert so that he could finish his symphony.
