Object
Delta Shuttle (misidentified as LaGuardia waypoint)
A short-haul Delta commercial shuttle (silver fuselage, Delta livery, wingtip navigation lights) that characters observe from a Connecticut highway and misidentify as departing from LaGuardia. The aircraft itself never lands or appears on-screen; it functions as an external visual cue/misleading waypoint that Toby, Sam, and Josh use (and argue about) while en route to the Wesley Police Station, tightening the scene's tension and undermining Josh's sense of control.

Purpose
Short-haul commercial passenger transport (and, in the scene, an inadvertent visual landmark used for navigation).
Significance
Functions as a misleading reference point that causes Toby, Sam, and Josh to misjudge their location; this misdirection tightens the episode's tension, undercuts Josh's control, and propels the characters toward the imminent confrontation at the Wesley Police Station.
