Episode Notes

 * During the scene wherein Breda informs Mustang of Dr. Marcoh's capture, the mysterious man in white is seen passing through the foreground.
 * Several elements are changed around in this episode. Lan Fan has a more active role in Ling's deal in the manga, to protect Mustang's group even while they're in the hospital, but in the anime she just stays with Ling. Also, Al visits Mustang before Ed fixes him up, but in this episode Ed comes back first.
