Background information and notes[]
- The boys drowned rowing out to Hart Island. The setting for this episode is the fictional Channel Island, likely a stand-in for the adjacent City Island. While there is a Broad Channel Island in Queens, to row from there to Hart Island would require paddling up the East River and around Long Island.
