Doug: Uh huh. (pause) What...what? (edit) Jerry: Sorry I'm late. There was traffic.
Randi: You take the El! (edit) Weaver: I never know how to answer that question about my weaknesses.
Greene: Yeah. Well, I could've helped you out there. (edit) (about the possibility that Greene might be coming down with rabies)

When Lucy asks the guy in charge of transport if he saw her patient, the game he is playing is Tomb Raider II.
(edit)
Dr. Weaver is wearing the same suit as the first interviewee for the position of Chief, except for a pin.
(edit)
Mr. Ellis asks Dr. Ross if it is okay for Dr. Romano to be the lead doctor on his daughter's leg. Since Dr. Ross is an ER doctor, he is not Dana's primary care physician and Mr. Ellis does not need to ask Dr. Ross's permission to change doctors.
(edit)
This is the second episode in a row that Dr. Greene has direct dealings with a domestic animal.
