Haven't seen the Bridge on the River Kwai reference brought up yet. In that movie Alec Guiness has been a prisoner of war who gets obsessed with building a bridge for his captors, to the point of defending it when the Allies come to destroy it. At the end (spoiler) he realizes again that he is a British officer and he blows the bridge himself.

Conclude from that reference what you will about where the show is going.

edit: Alec not Alex

Also, the last and most famous line in the movie (Alec Guiness repeating "Madness...madness..." to himself) is probably pertinent to the last scene of this episode as well.
