Does the possessive "s" go at the end of a proper noun ending in "s"? What's the possessive of a name like James β James' or James's? Either's correct, depending on your style guide. The AP Stylebook says you just use an apostrophe, but others say to add the "s". Your best bet is to choose a style and then be consistent. This is part of a complete episode.
