This is the first episode to include the "mugshots" of the main characters, before the opening sequence. (edit) Music from episode includes:

"Zero Hours a Week" by Huffamoose (edit)

Eloise Kurtz: Just leave me alone! I don't know anything!
Will: See, it's people who say that that always know much more than they think they do. (edit) Sydney: What about the file... the one you pulled for me? There were pages missing. Maybe it didn't end twenty years ago. Maybe he's still working for Russia!
Vaughn: Stop. Okay? Stop. What matters, what "is" important, is taking down SD-6. Jack... your father... is helping us do that! (edit) Francie: Bar association dinner. One of the lawyers wanted to sue me because his chicken was undercooked. Can you believe that... an obnoxious lawyer? (edit) Sydney: Raid my closet!
Francie: Thanks, but I got boobs. (edit) Sloane: Jack will no longer be working out of Jennings Aerospace. His assignment there is complete. As of today, he will be working here with a cover as portfolio manager for Credit Dauphine. This way, he can more actively participate in the planning and execution of missions.
Sydney: [forces a smile] Good. (edit)

Number 47: The motion sensor's activation code is 2472. (edit) Number 47: When talking about FTL, Jack mentions the T-47s that were moved. (edit) When Sydney is admitted at the mental institution in Romania, the facility’s Director (Dr. Kreshnik) is the same man, that was in the picture Caulder’s (the FBI agent that was hunting Sydney’s mother) widow showed to Sydney, telling her, he was her new boyfriend. How did Sydney fail to see something wrong right away? (edit) Goof:
When Sydney and Vaughn are discussing her counter-mission at the driving range, she is hitting left-handed, and he is hitting right-handed. In actuality, Vaughn is left-handed, and Sydney is right-handed. (edit)

During Sidney's briefing Sloane mentions that a decoder is held by "Josh Smythe owner of the Hobb's End Photogallery in London."

"Hobb's End" is a fictional section of London where, while digging a subway tunnel, an alien spacecraft was found in the TV Mini-series (later a movie) "Quartermass and the Pit."

"Hobb's End" is also the fictional New England town in H.P. Lovecraft's "In the Mouth of Madness" where a direct portal to hell exists. (edit)
