Notes

• In an interview, writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite said that Maury Parkman was imprisoned in Level Five. They also said, "Now everyone is out." Assuming Howard Grigsby and Echo DeMille were still in jailed in the facility at the time of the escape, they would have escaped with the other escapees.
