Each title card also has a prop or part of the setting that refers to a plot element in the episode. Some part of the title card morphs into a marijuana leaf. In the highway sign example, a downward arrow designating a lane becomes a slightly larger pot leaf.Silas and Shane are aged 17 and 13 respectively. However, Silas turns 18 at the end of the season.
