This episode is suppose to air before the episode Hollywood Brass according to the production code. (edit) Guest star Robin Weigert (Dr. Diane Dino) is probably best known for her role as Calamity Jane in the television series "Deadwood". (edit) Much of this episode was filmed in the VA Hospital in Sepulveda, which according to the director of the episode once was a mental institution. (edit) The 'conversation' between Charles Pellew and Grissom was based, according to the director's commentary on the DVD, on an email he'd received several months earlier, which seemed to have gone through a translation program, so that the syntax of the sentence seems correct, but the words actually make no sense at all. (edit) According to MSN's 'Tv Best Bets' there was originally suppose to be a Case B in this episode. It was said, "Elsewhere, Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) looks into the murder of a man found inside a crop circle." It appears the B case was dropped last-minute. This case was used in the May 12th, 05 episode "Iced." (edit)

Sara: Love your hair Leon. (Leon turns to see Sara and Brass standing at the window)
Leon: Thanks.
Sara: What do you got here? (Sara looks in the pill cup) Ibuprofen, laxative, aspirin. What are you treating exactly, schizophrenia or constipation?
Brass: Where are the real drugs Leon? (edit) Hodges: Would you ever bleach your hair? (Sara looks up from the microscope) I wouldn't, it's so Greg Sanders. (edit) Charles Pellew: Female pig relation, hanged, it sped even, well, too.
Grissom: What?
Charles Pellew: No. I ground it ... blindly. Wet and dirty. Cut the blood oven. It spoke justly, repeatedly, calmly. Some thin rod dared your wash. They foretold this into some ready child, which fell crossly. They hag-rode me... again. (Grissom stares at him) (edit) Grissom: Jail or no jail, she won't last six months. She'll die without her son.
Sara: That would be better for both of them. (edit) (After a patient tries to bite her when she's attemping to take a DNA sample)
Sara: Grissom, you take this one. (edit)

The myth that sound can be recorded into pottery was tested on MythBusters, and it was effectively busted - sound was heard, but distinguishing words was impossible. (edit) Sara's single gold-painted fingernail is an inside nod to writer/co-producer Sarah Goldfinger. (edit) Why did Grissom and Sara swab the patients for their DNA? A handful of them were convicted rapists, so most (if not all) of their DNA would already be in the system. (edit) When the vase is being scanned for sound, it is placed on a Numark turntable. Such a turntable can revolve at 33, 45 or 78RPM with up to +/- 50% on the top model (http://djdeals.com/numarkTTX.htm), but a ceramic wheel can rotate anywhere from 0-200RPM depending on the model. Also, they are scanning the grooves with a laser that does not move up or down, and that would imply that the sound grooves are all on the same level, so the duration of the sound sample could only last as long as it takes the turntable to make one revolution, depending on which speed it is currently set. (edit)

Sara: Of course I wouldn’t expect Winnie the Pooh.

Edward 'Winnie-the-Pooh' Bear, sometimes referred to as Pooh, is a fictional bear created by A. A. Milne. He appears in the books Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner(1928). The hyphen was later dropped when Walt Disney Productions adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh featurettes which became one of the company's most successful franchises worldwide. (edit) Grissom: I’ll take Jimminy Cricket.

Jiminy Cricket is a fictional character who first appeared in the 1940 Walt Disney animated film Pinocchio. He was appointed by the Blue Fairy to serve as the official conscience for Pinocchio. He is also a comical and wise partner who accompanies Pinocchio on his adventures. (edit) Leon Madera: He suffers from Renfields syndrome.

Renfield syndrome, also known as clinical vampirism, is a mental disorder somewhat recognised by doctors in modern times as the obsession to drink blood. The term was first coined by Richard Noll and is named after Dracula's insect-eating assistant, Renfield, in the novel by Bram Stoker. (edit) Grissom: Pica?
Dr. Robbins: Boo?

Peekaboo is a game similar to hide and seek, but played with babies. In the game, one (child, teenager, or adult) hides their face, pops back into the baby's view, and says — to the baby's amusement — Peekaboo! I see you! Dr. Robbins was trying, unsuccessfully, to make a pun with the medical condition pica. (edit) Little Lord Fauntleroy
Brass tells the mother she'll have no more access to Little Lord Fauntleroy. This is a reference to the famous novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, published in 1886 (previously serialised). It's about a young innocent American child, Cedric, who finds he's the sole heir to a British earldom and travels to England to reside in a castle. He is joined by his mother 'Dearest'. It's an odd reference in some ways because Cedric's mother's love is in no way incestuous and is probably over-sentimental if anything. (edit)
