The episode is clearly written by someone with no sense of the scale of the United States. Gabriel is abducted in Helena, Montana. Ruth speaks of driving from Akron, Ohio to Helena to "stop by her parents house last week" and then borrows a car to drive from Akron to Helena and back in 24 hours. Akron to Helena is a 1850 mile trip, or 3700 miles for the round trip. Ruth apparently drives this trip twice in one week, including a 3700 mile round trip in a 24 hour period.
