• During the flashback to the Campbells' encounter with the Heart of the Dragon, it is revealed that, while the Campbell family have a long history of hunting monsters, Samuel only became aware of the profession when he witnessed his best friend being killed by a wraith when he was a teenager. The flashback also reveals that the Campbells finance their hunts through Samuel's dry-cleaning business and Deanna's occasional work as a substitute teacher.
