- Peter Bradford was sentenced to die by hanging for the murder of Noah Gifford (which was actually committed by Victoria Winters in self defense in episode 455). Peter's execution took place following Victoris' which was suspended due to her unexpected return to the present.

Bloopers[]
- The dates on Peter Bradford's tombstone state that he was born on January 18th, 1770 and died on April 3rd, 1795. This should actually read 1796, as it was already late November when Victoria Winters first arrived in 1795, which was some months prior to her and Peter's execution.
