Episode Notes

 * This episode is adapted from content in Chapter 46: The Distant Image of Their Backs, Chapter 47: A Girl in the Grip of Battles Past and Present, Chapter 60: In the Absence of God and Chapter 61: The Hero of Ishval.
 * The transmutation array which appears in the background of this episode's title card is the deconstruction half of the Dragon's Pulse tattoo on Scar's right arm.
 * This is the first time Scar has shown regret for a murder he's commited.
 * In an ironic twist, Scar ended up being in the exact same position as Kimblee; he was trying to use alchemy to kill someone who was shielding someone important to them.
 * In the English dub, after Scar flees, Alphonse calls Edward "Ed", instead of "Brother", as he typically does in the dub and the Japanese version. This is likely a dubbing error, as in the Japanese version of this scene, Alphonse calls Edward "Brother".
