Episode Notes

 * This episode is adapted from content in Chapter 15: Fullmetal Heart, Chapter 16: Separate Paths and Chapter 26: To Meet the Master.
 * The motorcycle riding thugs that Scar kills in this episode directly contradict the manga's canon by saying, "Aren't you Ishvalans supposed to be living in designated camps?" The manga states that most Amestrians aren't even aware that any Ishvalans are still alive. The slums in which they live are secretive, not designated by the government, which is what is implied here.
 * The scene at the end of the episode where Ed glanced out of the window and thought he had saw Hughes' ghost is only in this version of the story.
 * The usual ending sequence is replaced with a simple credits roll.
