It's in an autorelease pool?

Lets say I have a simple method...

NSDate *date;

@implementation Method
//Init Methods
-(id)init

self = [super init];
date = [[NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:0]
retain]; <<< see below for question
return self;

-(void)setNewDate:(NSDate *)newDate

Question:
The line ....
date = [[NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:0] retain];
date must be retained, yet, retaining it, sets the retain count
to 2.
This does not make sense to me. Why should the retain count
have to be 2?
As only one object references date.
