S4E23 · Twenty-Five
Zoey Taken — Panic, Procedure, and a Personal Breach

The Potomac is invoked as the water perimeter Harbor Patrol must secure; it defines the vector of escape and the maritime boundary the response must control during the search and containment.

Atmosphere

Foreboding and strategic — the river's darkness adds menace and underscores the difficulty of a ransom/abduction response at night.

Functional Role

Operational perimeter to be patrolled and secured by maritime units (Harbor Patrol) to prevent suspects escaping by water.

Symbolic Significance

Emphasizes vulnerability and potential avenues of disappearance; the river as an indifferent, swallowing element.

Access Restrictions

Subject to law enforcement maritime control; civilian access prohibited in the immediate response.

Dark river waters requiring Harbor Patrol boats. Nighttime complicates visibility and search efforts.
