The photos gifted to Conrad and Nic are actual photos of Matt Czuchry and his mom and Emily VanCamp and her mom.
After the final scene fade-out and before the closing credits, there is a dedication card that reads, along with a photograph of Ms Honorat:
"This episode is dedicated to Rose Elizabeth Honorat, one of millions who did not live to see this potential cure for sickle cell disease, which exists and is still in clinical trials.
We hope that one day it will be widely available and affordable."
