Episode Notes

 * The Transmutation Circles that appear in the background of this episode's title card are Isaac McDougal's water transmutation circle and a basic circle.
 * Isaac the Freezer does not appear in the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime or the manga as he is a character exclusive to the 2009 anime. As such, the content of this episode is based loosely on the events of the manga and does not take place within the manga's continuity.
 * Alphonse first mentions his list of things to eat and remarks that he will add Gracia Hughes' delicious quiche to it.
 * In this episode, it is shown that Lt. Riza Hawkeye carries a small briefcase full of spare ignition cloth gloves for Colonel Mustang to use. However, this briefcase is not part of the manga continuity and never appears again.
