No, but it does give some possible meaning to that goat head on the
wall behind Andrew and Catherine as they fought over the contents of
the box, Capricorn being a goat and Sagittarius an archer (I
had wondered why WE had that thing about arrows).  Now how a meeting
of the Packard/Eckhardt party and Windom Earle relates to the
Apocalypse is not immediately obvious to me, but maybe there's
something there.
