    • Trivia
      This episode appears to be based on the 1998 Charity Miranda case. Charity's mother, Vivian, and a classmate, Serena Martin, engaged her in a two-hour exorcism because her mother believed that Charity had a demon inside of her. Charity died during the exorcism process, and to cover her death, her mother placed her in a plastic bag, leaving her at the bottom of the stairs.

      As both a NYPD detective, and a father of two girls enrolled in local schools, Curtis should have known that Margo Grayson was lying about her daughter going to P.S. 89, once he saw a picture of Kyra wearing a school girl's uniform. New York Public Schools may have a uniform dress code, but they do not use actual uniforms.
